Line 438:
* Zig-zagged in [[A Loonatics Tale]]. There ''are'', in fact, therapists, they're even major characters in the comic, but they have a whole host of psychological issues all their own which may or may not prevent them from actually doing their patients any good (at least one is too apathetic to do his job, so he just medicates them into oblivion). On top of that, most of them reckon that, since they're therapists, they're immune to psychological disorders, and wouldn't need help even if they weren't.
* Averting this is the basic premise of [[Level 30 Psychiatry]] but played weirdly for Dr. Gardevoir herself. {{spoiler|She tries giving herself therapy and it backfires.}}
* Completely averted in ''[[A Miracle of Science]]''. One of the two lead detectives ''is'' a therapistmedical doctor and psychiatrist, and was hand-picked for this particular assignment not only because shefor wasforensic a forensicpsychology psychologistpurposes but also because they thought the other lead detective (a recovering case of Science-Related Memetic Disorder) might ''need'' a therapist, or at the very least a psychological observer in place to let the chain of command know if anything was wrong.
** The other lead is himself an informal counselor for people recovering from the same mental disorder that he was originally treated for.
