I was referring partially to "I personally think that it is important to keep distinctions between my personal spiritual and charitable practices and my paid professional work" and the general attitude although PSYDR's knee-jerk misrepresentation of the literature is certainly a surprise

The director of my doctoral program is a leader in the field of spirituality and psychology. I feel that discussing patients spiritual issues is often a part of paychotherapy. Just as much as discussing any of their other aspects of heir life. I still maintain that clear boundaries are essential. I also personally feel that I am on my own spiritual path and that my career is part of that, but it was when I was working as a sales account rep during undergrad, as well. I didn't discuss my blogs then either. Marsha Linehan is a Zen master and she is also a scientist. Very clear boundaries and roles. This could be a good discussion in another thread but the topic here was salaries.

The Department of Psychiatry at Loyola used to have a few Priests that were also trained psychiatrists as part of their faculty. There are also multiple trained psychiatrist who are also Clergy who work at the St. Lukes Center.

True, but these are *very* competitive positions. Many/most students incorrectly assume they will be the outlier, but most aren't.

T4C speaks wisdom here. Not only are such positions very competitive in terms of credentials and so forth, one will also need to have many years of progressing responsibility and promotion before even being considered for true administrative/executive positions. I am always amazed that every time I need to hire a psychologist for an actual managerial position, I receive inquiries and formal applications from psychologists that are barely out of their postdocs, with salary expectations that parallel those of ABCN neuropsychologists with 10+ years of post-residency experience.

Yeah I wish we didn't live in a world where the obvious always has to be restated, but I guess we do. If anyone expects to be able to be a chair/chief/etc without working in the area for awhile and eventually earning that role via high performance and good politicking, above-average effect aside, they're uninformed.
