A Psychology Today study showed that.
Overall Results
A whopping 87% of therapists reported that they have spoken with their patients about politics. In terms of political party, 63% of therapists believed most of their patients were Democrat, 11% believed most were Republican, 6% Independent, 8% another affiliation, and 12% believed that most of their patients had no political preference.
The investigators also found that therapists who believed that most of their patients shared their political views were more likely to talk about politics in therapy.
Furthermore, 87% of therapists speak to their patients about politics.
But it gets worse. It turns out that the vast majority of psychologists are also liberal.
The ratio of liberals to conservatives in the broader field of psychology is 14-to-1, and only 6% of therapists describe themselves as conservative “overall,”.
So, 94% of therapists are liberal, and 87% of therapists speak to their patients about politics. All I can say is keep off of the therapist's couch if you wish to save your sanity and most definitely keep your kids far away!
