ASHA is discovering this movie - five months after it was released. |
The ASHA Leader makes a point of mentioning that Lionel Logue, the King's speech therapist, was uncredentialed. Imagine that: someone actually having the audacity to treat someone without ASHA butting into their career and training. How dare someone without their ccc's treat the King of England! What if - heaven forbid! - Lionel Logue didn't adhere to ASHA's ethics code about transexuals? What if he (like most normal people) didn't like hanging around transvestites and other deranged sociopathic lowlifes?
Lionel was a devout Christian Scientist for most of his life - which means that he most likely would have disapproved of the immoral lifestyles that ASHA is apparently, IMO, trying to convince its members to accept as nothing more than examples of "multicultural diversity."
Australia's Sydney Morning Herald -
- quote(s) Dr Caroline Bowen, a speech and language pathologist who has researched Logue’s practice, saying ”As a Christian Scientist, Logue was passionate about healing, and perhaps this, coupled with his background in elocution, led to [his treatment of] returned servicemen who had speech disorders attributed to shell shock.” Link
Despite ASHA's heavy marketing of itself, ASHA's credentialing is meaningless. Having your ccc's does not make you a better therapist.
Just ask Lionel Logue and King George.
Uncredentialed and he didn't have his ASHA ccc's: Lionel Logue - Christian Scientist and King George's speech therapist |
