"I feel like a lot of people could really benefit from a
psychologist. I think an actual trained therapist could do wonders
for just about everybody. I mean, we're pretty complex beings, and we
don't come with instruction manuals—having an objective advisor
periodically talk through problems and ideas with you would be pretty
handy for anyone at some point in their life."
I'd support most psychologists... Too bad most of them have no
insight on the crap I rant about. Sure, some would understand my
beliefs about school, authority, heightism, et cetera, but
I'm pretty sure most would just label me with a bunch of disorders.
Kids who visit mental health professionals about school are often
diagnosed with the problem, not the institution itself. Is this not
because most psychologists had to jump through hoops that required
them to absorb pro-school beliefs? Does one not have to be 'normal'
to tell whether or not others are abnormal? Normal people must
support school, no? You can hear more on this topic from one of the
few good psychologists, Bruce
Levine.
So what exactly makes most psychologists complex enough to
evaluate other complex beings? A degree? Most of them just judge
based on what their books tell them. So complex.
