What I find interesting about "Dr." Laura is that she doesn't/hasn't lived
up to the very values she preaches to others. For example, she insists
on being called "Doctor" - but she's not an MD, Psy. D or even Ed.D.
She's got a Ph.D, but not in human psychology or therapy.



The "D" stands for "doctor." One can be a doctor of mathematics, doctor
of chemistry, doctor of medicine, doctor of psychology, et cetera. All
can use the title "doctor." Heck, even a lawyers can use that title due
their degree being a Juris Doctor ("Doctor of Law").

I'm sure you called some of your professors "Doctor" and never gave
it a second thought.


I'd bet he didn't call them Doctor followed by their first name!

And the other thing is, at least with all the PhD's I work with, asking
any one of them to comment outside their field gets the answer prefaced
with a "well, it isn't my field of expertise" or something to that effect.

Dr Laura is shelling out "advice" that is not related to her field of
expertise.
