A #psychologist must pass an exam and be licensed to practice. A personal coach can just hang a shingle and offer to help you with whatever #mentalhealth or emotional challenges you struggle with. So which one do you need? Maybe both, this physician argues. But first you’ll want to understand what each one does and how they can complement each other.

A person who does not value personal honesty & spends a considerable amount of their time plotting ways to discredit the scientific evidence (that doesn't align with their agendas) is a narcissist (narc)

If a narc did see a #psychologist (e.g., due to criminal behaviour), they will try to manipulate the psychologist as they believe they're far more intelligent.

Some people plot terrible things & only feel sorry (for themselves) after they're found out.

#Psychologist Mary Trump deduces, from family history and close observation, that her uncle, Donald #Trump, meets the criteria for narcissistic as well as, probably, antisocial personality disorder, at the extreme end of which is sociopathy. But “coming up with an accurate and comprehensive diagnosis would require a full battery of psychological and neuropsychological tests that he'll never sit for,” she notes in her book on the former president.

📚 Finished reading Black Lies from Mercedes Mercier.

Prison psychologist Laura Fleming works against the clock to get a terminally ill inmate to reveal details of a murder he committed 15 years prior, only not everything is as it seems.

This is fast-paced, page-turning thriller writing done right.

Picture of the book cover for Black Lies by Mercedes Mercier. The name of the book is shown prominently in white text towards the center of the cover, with the author's name appearing in yellow below it. 

The tag lines near the top of the cover state: "A shocking crime... A killer telling lies... The most dangerous man is the one with nothing to lose."

The picture on the cover is red with a yellow tint, showing a partially obscured woman's face behind a wire fence as the half of her face that we can see looks directly forwards towards the camera and through the fence from behind it.

The kind of A.I. in ChatGPT is not new in essence. It is mechanical processing. Clockwork. Just more ambitious and bloated.

"Eliza" is a mock therapist that has been around since at least the 1960s. It has fooled people. It is mechanical processing - not intelligence.

ChatGPT is only innovative in the amount of work it does, and mechanically modifying its behavior based on retained data and past results, it is not intelligence. It is clockwork.

Eliza has been around much longer.

I did some more research on the subject of #narcissism, and I managed to find this video by Dr. #Ramani #Durvasula, a #licensed #clinical #psychologist in Los Angeles, CA, #professor #emerita of #psychology at California State University, and the founder of LUNA Education, Training, and Consulting. She studies narcissism and #NPD for a living, and what she says about narcissism reflects all that I've been saying tonight. Here she is, discussing whether it's OK to "#diagnose" someone with the "illness" of narcissism. (Hint: It's not, and that's not what's happening anyway.)

"...let's take on the biggest myth of all: Narcissism is an illness, or it's a diagnosis. Now this is a common one, and in fact, it is often used to #shame survivors of narcissistic #abuse."

Which entirely explains why I've felt silenced by the folks who keep telling me that I "shouldn't use the term" for various reasons including "you'll stigmatize non-abusive narcissists" or "you can't diagnose people who aren't your patients."

She goes onto use several examples such as the very things I've been told tonight: "You can't say that this person's narcissistic! You're not a doctor!"

She concludes: "The word, the term, the concept of narcissism is not diagnostic. It is descriptive."

With all this concern for narcissists, it's surprising to see so little concern for the silencing of #victims and #survivors or narcissistic abuse. But when you consider that pet issues like this become hyped to the point that individuals stop being reasonable and stop listening to others, it makes sense why people who are hyperfocused on protecting narcissists become so willing to throw their victims and survivors under the bus.

Listen to Dr. Ramani speak at length about this common misunderstanding about narcissism, which creates an environment where victims and survivors of abuse are silenced or shamed in her video titled: "Narcissism is an Illness: Fact or Fiction?" She talks a lot about narcissism, so if the subject interests you, she has a lot to say about it (and has written several books on the subject matter).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRa1cWAqBgw&t=37s

In short, no. To both questions posed in the CW.

Thank you, Dr. Ramani, for helping me to feel seen, heard, and valid. 💙

When you train to become a therapist, you're taught a lot about "burnout" and "self-care" and "compassion fatigue."

But all the academic exercises don't really prepare you for the sheer level of jadedness and cynicism and pure disdain you develop hearing stories of the worst parts of U.S. society.

And the borderline pathological ability to compartmentalize needed to survive the profession.

Any ideological crank can (legally) call themselves a #psychologist or #counsellor in #Ireland, and many do. CORU will eventually regulate the title.

Until then, check for Psychological Society of Ireland (PSI) or Irish Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (IACP) membership. Full membership, not student, registration. Both organisations have position statements condemning #ConversionTherapy

#Programming languages are the most complex of human-machine interfaces. Yet, every single language in existence was designed by programmers without collaboration with psychologists.

Why Do People (Usually) Learn Less as They Get Older?

Learning is an integral part of the good life, so if forces make it harder (or less desirable) to learn, it seems like it would be helpful to understand them. 

Let’s consider three theories, and see what they suggest we can do about defying the trend.

No one should say that he should not have fleed.

When i was killed witnesses said I got up on my feet from the gutter where they left me dead. And then tried to run. I took a couple of steps and collapsed. I have no memory of this

If this never happened to you you have no idea what happens in our brains when it comes to this sort of trauma!

I wish some psychologist on here would enlighten us

Dear #survivor s of #DomesticAbuse,
Dear #psychologist s and #therapist s,

am I alone detecting the patterns of domestic abuse in the behaviour of the neo-feudalists, neo-fascists, neo-dictators in political and other institutions around the world?

I personally learnt walking away from abusers saves your life.

But were do you go when society is infested with tyranns?

What can societies do to minimize the damage these tyranns do?

#Introduction

Hi, I consider myself an #evolutionary #biologist because I fit that description.

Academically, I am a university trained #ConservationBiologist and a #psychologist

I have studied the #epistemology termed the #philosophy of science - I aim to adhere to the scientific method[s] with no exceptions. I'm a fact seeker, not a social status seeker - these two variables often do not positively correlate.

I have zero doubts that I am an #evolved #organism

I adore #music

@SwiftOnSecurity #backstory I always just liked #computers and enjoy #helping people. Originally in #highschool I thought I'd like to be a #psychologist or something of the sorts. But the job security and money seemed more appealing than than saving actual lives unfortunately.

I had an interview with Amazon shortly before graduating #undergrad, and made it all the way to final round where they flew me out, paid for my meals, the whole thing. I didn't get it and this crushed me for a minute.

Even though I got my #bachelors degree right after high school in #cybersecurity, I started off in support because I just couldn't land my first cyber job directly. It was very disheartening.

I got promoted from my first job to a network #analysts (small/medium company but 16 sites). I earned my networking grit from this by designing a whole network for a new location from the ground up. Including the rack, phone systems, WAP's, #firewall, #network segmentation. I got tired of running actual cables however so I switch to their systems role and finished my time at that company after 1.5 years.

Following that I've had a couple jobs in the #finance industry (doing cyber). My primary focus has been PKI but I honestly hate it and I've been in it for almost 3 years.

Looking forward, I wanna do something more exciting and more challenging again. PKI isn't exciting enough for my #ADHD brain, too repetitive. I can't figure out where in security I want to move to next but I know it's not this.

Thanks for reading if you made it this far. =)

I and my lab ask how children come to understand the social meaning of things people create, like #tools, #art, #music, and #technology.

Hi folks, I heard it was appropriate to do #introduction posts here. So, here we go. I work at the University of #bremen at the institute of #publichealth and nursing research. As a #psychologist, this is a privilege as I get challenged to include #socialinequality into research on #behaviorchange.
