The American Psychological Association (APA) recently released its Guidelines for Psychological Practice with Boys and Men. It manages to be simultaneously predictable, reprehensible, infuriating and disheartening — no mean feat for a single document. Make no mistake about it: this document constitutes an all-out assault on masculinity — or, to put it even more bluntly, on men.
The coup of the APA undertaken by the ideologues is now complete. The field has been compromised, perhaps fatally. And the damnable guidelines provide sufficient, but by no means exhaustive, evidence of that.
Why should we care? For that, I defer to Robert W. Levenson, when he was president of the Association for Psychological Science, an organization formed in an attempt to retain integrity in the field: “We all will come into close contact with mental illness during our lives. The diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mental illness must reflect the very best science possible. Good intentions are not enough. History is replete with well-intentioned practitioners offering treatments of no proven scientific value, that were enthusiastically embraced by patients and their families but ultimately did absolutely no good and kept people from seeking truly effective treatments.”
We cannot allow ideology and political correctness to prevail over science. The Boys and Men document is propagandistic to a degree that is almost incomprehensible.
The document opens with some definitions of terminology. These serve perfectly to indicate the nature of the ideological substructure that constitutes the true motivation of the writers. Only a few words or phrases were chosen for definition, which means that these words are given prime import.

JBP is one of a few lonely voices in the wilderness.
“All the right-leaning psychologists in the world are in this room, sitting right here in this chair.”
***this document constitutes an all-out assault on masculinity***
Nothing new. This actually began just after the murder of Bobby Kennedy in 1968, an attempt to feminize boys.
Jordan Peterson never loses his cool when attacked. Unlike others such as Ben Shapiro or Hannity, he never ever denigrates others with put downs. He simply breaks down their arguments logically and without emotion. He is also incredibly handsome.

Biology deniers.
Feminism seems to want to re-write nature and present females as calm and rational and boys/men as emotional (mainly anger) and unpredictable.
Jordan Peterson always says he’s not political, but by stating the logical, reasoned, and tested truth, you must become political. its unavoidable
As Trotsky said: “you may not be interested in war, but war is interested in you.”
Psychology is the biggest form of witchcraft in America.
“...and present females as calm and rational.”

In other words they are desperately trying to obfuscate reality.
Actually, it’s the practice of psychology that should be banned.
Jordan Peterson is a voice of reason. He is defending our rights to manhood in the sea of feminism.
But I think we will have to assert our manhood in the future and it’s not going to be pretty.
You write: Psychology is the biggest form of witchcraft in America.
I would add, followed by Sociology ans schools of Education.
Why when Bobby Kennedy died?
Yet another article discussing the war on men and boys, and still no article reporting on men uniting to defend themselves and their sons.
He is also incredibly handsome.
Just checked. My wife agrees. Ha ha.
Just like many TV shows and ads. Calm, smart female coping with stupid silly white male.
“Yet another article discussing the war on men and boys, and still no article reporting on men uniting to defend themselves and their sons.”
That is because when men try to stand up for themselves, they are attacked and ridiculed by women and other men. See MGTOW and MRA. There is a lot of unlearning that needs to be done before men can address these issues.
When it comes to men, whose choice is that, and when does this unlearning start?
As for women, there would be some initial backlash, but men might be surprised at how many agree with them. Check out Female Lawyer Gets Tulane University to Stop Discriminating Against Men. Are women going to have to do the dirty work in fighting for men's rights.
And no matter what the attitudes are, no one is forcing men to spend billions a year on prostitution and next to nothing in support of MRAs.
Psychology was never anything more than charlatanism and fraud. In the Universities students are taught how to sanctimoniously perpetrate fraud or for some, revolutionary politics.
