Plague my fucking arse!!!!! *very angry about this*
One of the reasons why clinical psychologists all seem to forget the real lessons of social psychology is that social psychology's real lessons higlight the almost innate stupidity of societies, regardless of the great variation of so-called "intelligence" within them.
Clinicians forget the big thought disorders: group-think (which helped to kill seven people in a space shuttle or two, and helped to kill thousands of people on all sides in pointless wars waged by the US on many countries since 1945); racism and the idea of white supremacy (a particularly virulent mental disease that kills... usually blacks, but sometimes the whites that support the drive for black people's equal standing in a society dominated by white people); statistical syllogism thinking... (the old "50% do such and such so that means they all do it" syndrome... wonderful waste of intelligence in the sufferers of this disorder).... I could go on, but even we autistics get the point.
Problem is, most mainstreamers don't. Hence that attack on Michelle over her essay on behaviourism.
