I think that a psychologist can only do so much to help a person on an intellectual/emotional or "soulish" level. That's why as a Biblical counselor I can be used by God to help a person make a complete change in their life that goes beyond putting a "bandage" on their problem areas. For as it is written:
"For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Hebrews 4:12

I think they are very helpful. Most people have the misconception that they are there to tell us how and why we think the way we do. Most of them are actually there to just listen and help us understand what is going on in our lives through our own words. What better way to get your frustrations and stressors off your chest than to talk to someone who won't start gossiping about your personal issues. Of course, they can intervene by helping us analyze our situations and prescribe medications for situations that need more than just an ear.

A good "shrink" is a great resource...
A bad one is BAD NEWS.

i think some people just want someone to talk to thats outside everything their involved in,( i.e - yahoo answers), and some people just want one person they tell everything to so they get it off their chest yet know it still wont get out into the world.
