Late in my high school teaching career I picked up the AP Psych class. That meant certification training.
I noticed that many of my students that took AP and planning on being a psych major in college, we dealing with emotional issues. I also found that many of the professionals in the field that I met, and many famous psychologist, were really screwed up.
The emotional fragility Ford showed didn't surprise me.
I was a psych major in the 70s, Pre Med, great grades, had to take Honors for some reason that still isn’t clear to me. I guess there were about 12 of us in the honors class. I never did understand WTF that was about. Why did I have to take the class I still don’t know. In my senior year, twice a week 12 of us met with a couple fairly famous professors who had been grad students of a couple originals. All we did was sit and listen to their stories. It was the easiest class since kindergarten. They were raging drunks. I mean drinking at 10 AM drunks.
