• I recently came across a defi nition of a chemical engineer in “Chemical Engineer,” a pamphlet in a career series that explains that chemical engineers “take measurements on … temperature, pressure, density and other properties …” (Chemical Engineer, 2003, p. 1). In my mind, it doesn’t take a huge stretch of imagination to conceive of human beings in engineering terms-with the body as a chemical plant and the brain as the instrument responsible for measuring and controlling the body’s functions. Thus we can think of the psychotherapist as an engineer.
