Arab culture and Therapy ...PM i suppose marion means a sex therapist.
On the topic of general therapists/psychologists though...I have also often wondered about psychologists and Qatar...Does Arab culture place much value in counselling/therapy?
missmoneypenny said
PM ...Mmm I imagine there must be a huge need for good cross-cultural counsellors amongst the expat population here.
Especially with the cultural diversity here in Qatar...as ppl struggle to come to terms with all the various X-cultural issues, many of which are talked about daily on this site!

No. Most Qatari people don't ...No. Most Qatari people don't get counseling/therapy. People here think that if you see a therapist, then you must be crazy. This is the reason why most people I know here are depressed.

Formatted Soul said
shamna ...There maybe vacancies in schools or colleges...Did you try there? then again everywhere they want experienced people as you are a fresh graduate it might take time...if you start a private clinic people will come to you for help...otherwise how do they know you are reliable?

All expatriates are very religious....they follow the old traditional ...ways to keep their Brains cool by doing YOGA, praying to GOD, relaxing with family/friends and get their stress level under control. Scientific methods is more acceptable by westerners.
Secondly, a social stigma (very conservative society) in disclosing their personal greviances to a third party (even Doc) being felt very uncomfortable.
