Let's begin with the Psychological Association itself, which may be the biggest scam ever pulled on the American people and let's begin with Freud, who was using cocaine when he fantasized his crazy theories. I remember when psychiatrist's could hardly make a living..Then, WA-LA, health care insurance began to pay for that kind of treatment. From that point on, the whole movement took off and has been, probably the single greatest influence for harm to this society of any source. Infinity cannot compute the resources poured down that black hole. Anyone who has ever worked with “the worried well” will tell you that some of the situational reactions people suffer are normal for the circumstances and will heal in time. There may be great benefit in working through a grief reaction to life the natural way. In cases of the more serious mental afflictions, medication has been the major help and those were developed by very smart scientists in research labs, and, from their work ethic, I would guess most of them to be conservative. I would like to see a study which assesses the mental stability of all the psychological “experts” as a whole. I am betting you would find the biggest collection of nuts any society could possibly produce. Toss Mr. Kanazawa’s study into the trash because it reeks with politics and propaganda, and, be very wary, as I am sure you are, of anything coming out of the "Psychological Association."
I've always wanted to get rich writing a self-help book (a spoof of Dr. Laura Schlessinger's book) entitled Ten Stupid Things Psychologists Do to Mess Up Your Life.
Cheers!
