Training clinical psychologists to be social justice activists and kids to be paranoid wokesters
a comparative intersectional privilege scale?
AND WHY?
The graphics in the video below are a bit distracting, but if you click over to YouTube, you may see some nice subtitles which get to the meat of the issue.
Counselors are being taught not to be objective and neutral with their clients, but rather to view the emotionally vulnerable people who come to see them as opportunities to imprint and spread "Social Justice" ideology. In this video I provide shocking examples of the current state of counselor training at an American university.
We were taught that our main role as counselors is not in our work with clients, individuals and families but rather as activists for social justice. We were taught to assess ourselves and our clients with something called the "Addressing Model." This uses the word Addressing as an acronym, with each letter standing for different demographic category - - so age, disability, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, nationality, gender identity, socioeconomic status, etc. And for each of these categories, we are to give ourselves either a value of "marginalized" or "privileged" and do the same for our clients, and then add these up and see who's more privileged. And this teaches you how you're supposed to interact with your client. . .NEVER MIND WHY THE CLIENT IS SEEKING HELP. Does the client think his new bride might be trying to kill him, like in the movies? That's not important. Where Kimberle Crenshaw would score the therapist and client on a demographic intersectional power scale is what's important. Otherwise, how can the therapist inject more racial issues, etc. into the conversation? Imagine being so obsessed by an ideology that you believe that the relative power between a therapist and emotionally distressed client is, or should be, measured on a crude demographic scale. It gets worse from there.
The faculty advisor admitted to me that they are aware that they are not training counselors who are going to be able to work with, in her words, "the Trump supporter". . .This young woman may have a fight for her degree ahead of her. WELL. It looks like she is forging ahead. Here's a longer video with documentation concerning the university's exclusively leftist indoctrination, with excerpts from a textbook and also flyers from the chancellor, with commentary by others, full of personal political viewpoints. Critical Race Theory, Decolonization, Intersectionality and the latest in Gender Theory are pushed as the only possible moral positions, including for teacher training. One area of special interest was "Police Abolition". Though January 6 was also portrayed as the culmination of 400 years of White Supremacy. So dramatic! The leftist language in the flyers is remarkable. The university has set up segregated "affinity groups" for minorities and an "accountability group" for whites. The teacher of a class about "people with vulvas" is a neurodivergent, disabled, queer, etc. human. The Addressing Model shows up in faculty descriptions - not just in course materials. This course instructor goes all-out to increase her intersectional marginalization score, probably because they/she are/is white. Can't wait for the classes taught by aliens or bats. And, of course, the university won't define what a woman is. OOPS: the university pushes back, de-activating this student's I.D. and account. And now. . . it's re-activated without access to social justice content She has hired an attorney to represent her concerning completion of her degree.
It's been a while since I saw a photo of Kimberle Crenshaw, who introduced the both of the famous terms "Critical Race Theory" and "Intersectionality".
Ah, for the days of "CRT is not being taught in schools". In the video above, Crenshaw frames opposition to things like CRT praxis in schools, transgender affirmation without the knowledge of parents and pr0n in school libraries as a backlash to national unity regarding "police accountability" during the George Floyd protests. She is especially distraught that people are opposed to teaching the "racist origins of our Constitution". In the video, Crenshaw actually says,A collective of community organizations who are “committed to change & liberation” got together last night to host “Save our Schools: Activating Parents in an Age of CRT-Backlash” w/ keynotes from Kimberle Crenshaw & Ibram X Kendi to champion teaching CRT, CSE & SEL in schools.🧵 pic.twitter.com/jKmGUWb8Rq

The efforts to fight back have been - - complicated. We've tried to pivot. We've tried to avoid detection. We've tried to disavow CRT and a host of concepts that extremists want to paint us all with.SHE IS THE ONE WHO NAMED CRT. And she is accusing people of "painting" her with its concepts? I wonder if she is referring to, say, some of the concepts pushed by Robin DiAngelo that sort of diverge from classical CRT. If so, she should make clear exactly which concepts "extremists" are using to "misrepresent" CRT, and where they came from. Crenshaw then explains that although many may not have heard of CRT until last year, it is a "prism" and a "practice" . . . Well, some of us already knew that. They have been implanting CRT in minds to use it as a "prism" and also pushing it in practice - praxis. They have not been reading law school papers to little kids. Sooooo . . . . they were always lying when they said CRT was just a theory taught in law school. Crenshaw was lying, especially, since she spread it from the law schools to other fields and paired it up with intersectionality. She also gets in a little dig at the Civil Rights Movement and color-blindness. There's a longer video linked in the thread.

Texas university pays $165K to professor fired for writing a joke in the teachers' lounge criticizing microaggressions In a victory for free speech on public university campuses, the University of North Texas has agreed to pay $165,000 in damages and attorneys' fees for violating a math professor's First Amendment rights when it fired him for writing a joke criticizing microaggressions on a chalkboard in the teachers' lounge. Alliance Defending Freedom attorneys represent Nathaniel Hiers in his lawsuit against the university. After discovering flyers in the mathematics department's faculty lounge about "microaggressions," Hiers jokingly wrote on the chalkboard, "Please don't leave garbage lying around," with an arrow pointing to the flyers. The following week, the head of the math department fired Hiers by cancelling his contract to teach in the spring, admitting that he fired Hiers because he criticized the flyers and didn't express "honest regret" about his actions.
It's not a very hefty settlement. But it's something!

The entire field is now epistemologically flawed at its heart, psychiatry and psychology both were allowed to be considered serious disciplines because they were there societally as bulwarks and defense mechanisms of normalcy.
The majority of practitioners now view their role as bending society to accept their clients if you look at their voting patterns.

Modern psychologists tend to focus on helping someone feel good about themselves, and blaming others for all their problems. Its not you, its toxic men! Its not you, its your parents! Its not you, its people not accepting you for who you are!
Either way, their goal is to string you out forever, solve nothing, and keep the money flow, but in this case, they're affirming and supporting what made you ill and screwed up to begin with.

It used to be pretty standard for mental health professionals to recognize that people cannot control other people, only their response and reaction to other people. That has changed, now many (most?) counsel their patients that they are fine and its all the fault of others outside themselves.
That's not healing, its reinforcing the problems. Yes, some people are horrible but its on you how you respond and react to it.
Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at October 29, 2022 11:46 AM (Ivdso)
As for stupidity is psychology. It's been around a long time and unless you are careful in your referrals your patient will find themselves in a situation where the therapist will focus almost exclusively on abuse, and racial "abuse" is only the latest variant.
I had the misfortune of having to work with a couple of social workers who believed they were experts on incestuous abuse. But their goal seemed to be to repair the irreparable. So we got rid of these ladies and found someone who more logically encouraged the person to stop the relationship altogether and build healthy relationships elsewhere. The ladies could not believe that was acceptable. Social work/psychology has always had a stupid streak a mile wide.

A lot of good work still gets done, but yeah, a lot of bad work is being done by practitioners who don't know what they're doing, or don't care, or have gotten sucked into the insurance driven forms of therapy.
Mental health care is still quite primitive, and it's not really getting better, for the most part. But there is still good work being done, still good research being done that is creating insight into how and why people suffer from mental illness. Usually in spite of what the System is foisting on people.

The only flaw his treatment had was his insistence to calumny both my mother and father as a stressor which was provably not true. My father was temper ridden, but as a non-custodial parent with minimal contact he could not be a causative to the degree he was being granted freight. Part of my anger at the sciences was my noticing about the slowly disintegrating logical integrity of the behavior sciences forcing me to notice that in too many cases you have data being gathered to justify hypotheses rather than hypotheses forcing the clinical gathering of data.

This is one of the fundamental flaws in the interpretation of the concept of "evidence based treatment."

I was lucky... I was in school before those pills came out. Mom was a Teacher and had me evaluated in 7th grade, because I my grades were all over the place. They could not figure out why I got some A's... but some C's, with no rhyme nor reason as to why... all while not paying attention or doing homework.... but I read a Fiction Book a day most days.
Psych gave me a real IQ test (ones with the timer and making shapes out of blocks and such)... and then HE bothered to ask me why.... and got it out of me that I was BORED by most of school.

A doctor, giving antidepressants to someone who is having trouble losing weight. I want to lose weight to feel better physically and be more fit. My doc thought I should just take drugs so I don't feel bad about being a fat tub of goo.

I haven't been following it, but apparently there is some correlation between high carb diets and depression. Lots of other research into how diet affects mental health. Still quite early in the research though, too much other crap, as noted in this thread, gets in the way of trying to find actual answers to problems.

A lot of state government social work is similar bent, and has been for a long time. I mean to start with it might have had some basis in reality, say, drug use [outside of cigarettes because that is the worst thing evar - while I was out back smoking with half the case workers] is not a reason to remove a child from a home, only danger to the child. But it got worse, and really has become enabling and rewarding really bad behavior even on the part of actual victims.

She should have known what she was getting into, since they used to blab incessantly about social justice in their recruiting literature.
On the other hand, I once had a girlfriend with an MA from Antioch and she was a total freak between the sheets. I got lucky when she moved away and we parted amicably.

At the time I suggested it, she was absolutely in a major depressive episode, and potentially a suicide risk. I thought if she could get over this hump, she might be willing to actually work on herself, and the sources of her ongoing mental health problems.
What I will never know though, is whether FEELING better gave her the motivation to NOT address her problems, and instead run out on us, seeking solace elsewhere. Sad but true, since she won't work on herself, she's probably going to go from one disastrous situation to the next, until she runs out of people who will rescue her.

I liked military stuff. Read every book on it I could get. I was a WW2 expert at 12, had read at least 40 books, had maps, could show you the routes taken by almost any unit in Europe. My Grandpa was all that kid knows more about the war I fought in than I or anybody I know knows. Why you want him on drugs? Leave him alone.

All the greats of early psychology reached for philosophy to find a basis for treatment, and if they were actual scientists as well, they began to check their models against reality and things like "patients getting better" as metrics, and used a lot of empiricism or horse sense first and improved models second.
There are some schools that do better than others in dealing with depression and anxiety if they can be dealt with functionally, but it is extremely hard to deal with schizophrenia and serious brain changes, since neural plasticity can only do so much.
There is a lot of new research into the brain and mood and it is pretty exciting what they think they can do. I suspect in enough time the psychologist is going to become a sort of credentialed Life Coach, and real cures will be done through actual brain intervention.

PORTLAND, Ore — U.S. Department of Homeland Security officials in the Trump administration compiled extensive intelligence dossiers on people who were arrested, even for minor offenses, during Black Lives Matter protests in Oregon.
Ben Wizner, an attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union's free speech, privacy and technology project, said the report indicates leaders of the Department of Homeland Security wanted to inflate the risk caused by protesters in Portland.
“We have a dark history of intelligence agencies collecting dossiers on protesters,” Wizner said over the phone from New York, referring to domestic spying in the 1960s and 1970s against civil rights activists, Vietnam War protesters and others.

Our schools aren't teaching anything anyway other than leftist indoctrination. As far as traditional subjects go, they are churning out generations of illiterate and innumerate students, who's only attribute, other than stupidity, is high self-esteem. We shut down for 2 years over covid anyway so now let's really accomplish something worthwhile fighting a REAL infection - the infection of communism - and save our kids.

This is also being trained into employees in corporations through the D.I.E. training.
Mandatory training I completed just last month was all about microaggressions and triggering and every other possible offense people could feel. But, the training was very explicit about saying that the only groups of people who could be "victims" of these offenses were "marginalized" or "under-represented" groups. Implicit to those statements is that I, as a white male, could not be a "victim" of any type of offense.
This shit is all over our culture, infecting every institution and corporation in the country. All about division and pressuring people to feel offended about anything and everything.

And this is just a small example of the consequences of ceding the culture war to the Left and the Left succeeding in their long march through the institutions. They now have complete control of every institution in the country and are transforming them from within... schools, colleges, media, "entertainment", government, journalism, healthcare, corporations, sports, the military, you name it.
Every institution in the country is now controlled by people pushing this DIE and "social justice" shit. The only way to stop it and reverse this movement is to develop an army of Ron Desantis types, who not only fight to stop it, but legislate and reverse it. Words AND action are needed. Need conservatives in positions of power and influence in not just government, but schools, school boards, healthcare industry, company HR departments, etc.

Well, she's right. Record inflation has to do with WEF policies that are being implemented in every Western nation, including the USA. In the USA, the policies are put into action by the Deep State, which includes the entire Democrat Party and the GOP establishment.

Pretty much the partly delusional Russian bit about a "multi-polar" vs. uni-polar world, a ridiculous and despicable bit of butthurt about the garbage Soleimani being taken out, and the more reasonable cultural backlash (traditional values vs. the fairly recent toxic idiocy coming out of the US, mostly, which we all know about). He quotes Solzhenitsyn's Harvard speech on western cultural chauvinism, which is something to behold for those who lived/worked the Cold War.
Much more to go, and I think with the Q&A the whole thing went over 3 hours. Trump-like in this respect - he also has a long history of taking any/all questions at his annual New Year's press conference, including stuff that was of course unthinkable in the old days. Doesn't look a bit ill to me, as far as that goes.
Hope to have more on it later.

I thought it was fascinating. My faculty advisor thought is was...sufficient.

In the 90s, the push was to have all kids on ADD or ADHD drugs. Mostly boys. Girls they pushed to get on "birth control" drugs.
Now, in addition to those, they have further drugs boys with the justification of "toxic masculinity" and the need to feminize them even more. And now they go even further with both boys and girls with pushing gender dysphoria and chemical castration and genital mutilation.
Our culture has been evil and sick for decades. If they can't kill them in abortion or indoctrinate them, they will fuck them up with drugs, sexualize them or chemically neuter them for life.

I found it interesting but not at all convincing.
It would, however, explain Democrats.

I always found it deliciously ironic that people would seek help with their self-esteem. You want better self-esteem? Do something estimable. Why go out and buy a self-help book written by someone else.

Social Media, what with the algorithms they use, push out a lot of "it's OK to not be OK" messages.
The amount of kids who have normalized being helpless in the face of "the daily struggle" is staggering.
There's a reason Bill Gates said he doesn't let his kids use electronic devices...

Not just social media. It's everywhere. Look at the ad agencies that push back against "body shaming". Calvin Klein being one of the obvious ones putting obese people in their ads now.
And just look at the Plandemic. Because it went against the narrative, no one was allowed to say that being obese is a major risk factor for contracting and having bad effects from the virus (not to mention obesity is a major risk factor for any number of other health issues). Nor could they recommend more activity and sunshine (Vitamin D) and losing weight, because they were locking everyone in their homes with the lockdown policies.

This will go over like a fart in church.
Rooskies do not like the Finns. This just reinforces old hatreds.

at a rally for John Fetterman. Discussing the Affordable Care Act, he said: 'And, by the way, if they do, that means — not a joke, everybody; that’s why we defeated it in 2018 when they tried to do it.
We went to 54 states.

I am working my way through the old post, as I do, They are always the highlight of my web-weekend.
Anyway, that antioch stuff at top made me think of a vid. I saw last week. Sargon whatever the lotus eater did a video "The British Crusade Against Slavery" and this black couple did a reaction video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wB7PVoNfyM
It is pure learned victimization. At one point the guy asks the girl if learning this stuff makes her feel a little less "angry," presumably at whites for being uniquely evil in how they treated black americans.
I knew all this, but this just made me see it in a new light. The left, democrats, race mongers, etc. have played an evil "learned helplessness" number on a large part of our country. Once you make what happened to blacks uniquely evil, you also make an excuse for never getting out of it. Sowell talks about this a lot as you know. You also justify a race war and pushing innocents under trains. ... anyway.
