Best Answer

As long as those beliefs are working out for the person's life, then there is no problem. However, when there is not a congruence between the belief and the life the person leads, the subject needs to be brought up and examined. Psychologists are trained to help people understand the effect of beliefs and to help them discover how to adapt.. It is more like a civil discussion than a parent telling someone what to do.
