Indeed. I like this about him, too. Also his sense of humility — and humor.
BTW, Dr. Godwin is not the only clinical psychologist I've read lately that holds much of the current development of this field in contempt.
Thanks so much, Matchett-PI, for the info re: Gagdad Bob.

“One thing about this Adventure in Christianity™ I am on is that it seems very fresh to me. Not only is every day new, but every day is renewed in a most mythterious manner. As I’ve mentioned before, an outside observer might look at my life and imagine it was boring, but from the inside, it is anything but. I feel as if I live in one of those cartoon houses, in which the walls are expanding outward from all the fun inside. Or maybe it’s a cartoon head. Either way, it’s quite animated around here. ...”

True. There are some psychiatrists that hold that same contempt, too. “Dr. Sanity” is one: http://drsanity.blogspot.com/
Gagdad Bob has some great commentary here on the subject:
“...the vast majority of academic “product” is merely junk food for the mind (as always, we are speaking of the humanities, or subhumanities, to be exact).”
“..A magazine such as Psychology Today represents stupidity squared, because it mostly boils down the nonsense of academia for a semi-literate audience, in the same way that Time or Newsweek purvey idiotarian liberal conventional wisdom to the 8th grade mass-mentality. “
“..Let’s spend a moment looking at this Psychology Today article, which tries to explain the underlying psychological reasons for why someone would be conservative.” .. [snip]
