There are shrinks who themselves have mental problems and / or commit criminal acts. Some take advantage of their patients vulnerabilities and trust, which may include child molestation and "sex therapy" as well as wallet plundering.

And b/c there are some dishonest or unscrupulous people in that profession, we should allow people w/o training to decide who is mentally unfit and who isn't?
There are also financial fund managers who steal what is supposed to be invested for people approaching retirement. Should we, therefore, only permit people with no financial expertise or experience handling money, to head mutual funds and pension plans?
I've seen TV reports where garage mechanics perform "repairs" for imaginary or non-existent problems with cars they've been paid to fix -- and charge the customers accordingly. Does that mean I shouldn't take my automobiles to a garage where certified mechanics work?
