I think the field of Psychology is dominated by ideological people who have their own mental problems. A lot of the practitioners are crazy women, with some crazy men tagging along. Many of them are evil. Psychology is a polluted field.
Which is a shame because mental illness is widespread and is the foundation of many other problems. The world needs a better approach to mental illness — little pills are not a cure-all.
But we can’t make progress in mental illness until the crazy practitioners are replaced. That’s a tough undertaking.
And as a psychologist I totally agree.
I think it’s kind of a catch 22. Normally you do not get into the field of mental health unless you are ****ed up in some ways yourself. A “normal” person usually would find another career instead of doing mental health. But like you said, we need more sane minds in this field.
Psychology is a gravy academic. It attracts lazy and/or stupid slackers. That, plus the fact that what is an absolute today might be discarded tomorrow.
What an idiotic field. No wonder their practitioners are insane.
Little pills may not be a cure all. They’re better treatment then validating and enabling mental illness because that’s what passes for treatment now!
You are absolutely correct.
