My license to practice psychology, issued by the North Carolina Psychology Board in 1978, comes up for renewal in October, as it does every two years. Like everything that emanates from or is associated with the profession of psychology, it is meaningless and deceptive. Unlike every other licensed profession, psychology lacks meaningful practice standards. In the final analysis, once an individual obtains a license to practice psychology, he is essentially free to choose between more than a dozen different “treatment” modalities or even invent a new one. When all is said and done, however, and regardless of how he describes himself, psychologist Bill Haley practices Bill Haley therapy.
My kids are grown. How I miss those days at home when they were young, reading your column in the "newspaper" (!), no computers or cell phones, no gov. interference for the most part. Just love and life!
Glad you will continue encouraging parents and grandparents to walk in truth as they train their children in truth and love to enjoy the awesome outcome !
N.C. republican candidate for governor, Mark Robinson, is leading in the polls. 2 public members (non-license psy.) positions on the N.C. Board of Psychology should be open in 2025. If Robinson appointed you to the board as a public member, that should serve your purpose. Just say'n.

Congratulations on your unofficial “retirement”!
I still need you to remind me through all these columns why I’m the “mean mom” to the 4 and 6 year olds and the “bad boy” to the 2 year old. 🙃

Great retirement letter - the last line made me laugh. I've no idea what the "boogaloo" is, but it sounds fun.
