Interesting analysis of Ford's testimony in front of Senate Judiciary Committee
Excellent post.
She isn’t a “shrink”...she has some sort of psychology statistics degree.
You’re very sensible but you miss my sense.
the higher point has been evaded.
According to Wikipedia, C.M. Blasey Ford has an academic PHD from the Univ. of Southern California (1996). Unless you know some inaccuracy of that claim, it is common practice that PHD’s be called “Doctor”. An exception to this rule is Honorary Doctorates, where, in my experience, some use “Dr.” and some don’t.
She MAY be a Phd but she is not licensed in California to act as a “professional” - being a practicing doctor. I have a Doctor of Divinity, cost me $25 and a stamp. I don’t call myself “Doctor”.
Ford is not an MD and cannot practice medicine; she is a teaching/research professor with a PhD. PhD's are typically called "Doctors", but they are not Medical Doctors. I don't believe Ford "has" patients or "treats" patients and therefore doesn't require being licensed.
You must be a licensed psychologist to consult/counsel patients in the domain of public health. Psychiatrists (certified Medical Doctors (MD's) who have gone to medical school) can prescribe drugs in the treatment of patients.
At my university, the teaching staff in the various faculties (who were PhD's) preferred being called "Professor" by the students, rather than "Doctor", it being a more prestigious term. Interestingly, my sister, an MD, said her instructors at med school were called "Doctor", rather than "Professor".
"I have a Doctor of Divinity, cost me $25 and a stamp. I don't call myself "Doctor"."
Good grief, I would hope not.
The woman is a verified liar and perjurer. The status of her Phd is unverified until positively proven with evidence.
First paragraph from the link I provided:
Testifying under oath before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Christine Blasey Ford (Fraud) identified herself as a ‘psychologist,’ but records indict this is a false statement under California law. Someone at Stanford University also appears to have caught the blunder and edited Ford’s faculty page.
Bingo. Posted something similar about whoever coached her to talk like that did her no favors. Entire "testimony" was fake. They delayed the hearing to try and teach her how to sound "vulnerable" and even then they FAILED miserably.
Bitch needs to go to jail.
According to her bio in Wikipedia...
(( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christine_Blasey_Ford#cite_note-NYT26Sep2018-4 ))
It states that in 1996 she received a PhD in "Educational Psychology" from the University of Southern California.
However, I did a thorough search of USC Commencement Programs (The 112th:1995), (The 113th:1996), and (The 114th:1997) all three commencement exercises were held at Alumni Memorial Park. They are available in the USC Digital Library's "Subcollections" section, under "Commencement Programs".
I used the "text" search feature, and none of these three Commencement Program documents (containing lists of each year's graduates) had a Christine M. Blasey, or a Christine M. Ford, or combinations thereof, receiving anything. Her name simply does not appear in those three year's lists of graduates.
Furthermore, her USC doctoral dissertation, identified in Wikipedia as "Measuring Young Children's Coping Responses to Interpersonal Conflict", does appear in the USC listings of dissertations, in the USC Digital Library, in the Dissertations and Theses subcollections.
The title page states that it was prepared "in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Counseling Psychology), August 1995". This is inconsistent with the Wiki page which states the PhD was in "Educational Psychology". In my mind there is quite a difference between "Counseling" and "Education", but what do I know, I'm only an electronics engineer.
The dissertation looks like a typical attempt to make a science out of something that isn't. Putting numerical analysis to work on something that is decidedly un-numerical, i.e., children. 130 pages of gobbledy-gook.
In summary, after 23 years, who knows if the dissertation is legit. USC lists over 55,000 dissertations, and that's only one school. Second, it was in "Partial fulfillment" meaning she may not have completed all the requirements for the degree, i.e., course work, teaching, experimentation, etc. So, who knows why she isn't listed as receiving the degree. Still, something is obviously wrong somewhere.
Again, sincerest apologies.
Have we ever found video/audio of her speaking in her real voice?
Her fragile little girl voice was a JOKE!
No apology needed. You came to the conclusion after your own research - which I applaud. Thank you for the diligent research and the great summary!
