If you can...stay away from all psychologists. They are misguided uber-LIBs. Go to the APA website to view their assorted political-driven drivel.

Ugh. I almost double-majored in psychology. The unquestioning acceptance of liberal opinions as scientific fact drove me away.

That, and I was already taking 20+ credit hours at a time...

Read Homosexuality and the Politics of Truth by Satinover. The APA was overrun by activists in the 70’s.

I hold a Ph.D. in an applied area of psychology, and I think Rush is a bit too soft on a couple of subjects; so be careful of painting with too broad of a brush.

I was a student member of the APA while I was in grad school and got so disgusted with them that I quit. When I told my research director, he was amazed and said he had been trying to work up the nerve to do the same as he was sick of the leftward tilt of the group. He finally did.

The psych majors I knew in college had serious issues. The majority of them were also female, and what I have noticed with the majority of females is that it is all about feelings, not facts.

There was a really good book I read by Dr. David Buss, an evolutionary psychologist, called “The evolution of desire” he did the largest cross-cultural study of mating habits ever done. Surprisingly he found that there are major differences in mate selection and mating habits between males and females. When it first came out the articles by mainstream psychology and feminists against it were numerous.

I was pleasantly surprised to read this article in, of all places, the NYT on Feb 7. While shedding a light on the obvious, nothing positive will come of this. For such elite, the conservative thought does not warrant any protection, it is to be sought out, ridiculed without reason, quarantined and eliminated.
