I am a Licensed Psychologist
And I do not care what credentials Mr. Wells and his cronies had.
I deal with many Licensed Psychologists and others all the time and believe me IMO they are often the most troubled people I know. You know that saying - I think the Rolling Stones lyrics - All Cops are Criminals - This over shoots the mark with police - but fits nicely with those of us in the mental health profession.
And your little APA reference only solidified my point of view. The American Psychological Association is thought of by most of us who do the work well as a band criminals - no better the the America Medical Association. So if this guy is flying his banner as an APA guy I say look out.
The NFL closed ranks here folks. Schlereth is an insider. There is ZERO accountability in the league. The front office got away with one here - with little
victim boy Jonathan Martin using all the right buzz words to bring the house down and the NFL playing PC.
Its coming though folks - the NFL is gonna have a full-on postal moment (G0d forbid) because they have failed to take accountability in this one.
I'm not a psychiatric expert so I'm not going to call anyone's credentials into question, but I will say that you are spot on about the AMA being an absolute joke, and there are a lot of awful medical doctors out there. Half of the folks who post here probably see a lousy physician or have been operated on by a bad surgeon. I've seen doctors do some frighteningly careless or incompetent **** in the operating room, and heard about stuff that's a lot worse.
I would imagine that psychiatry/psychology would be no different. It's my understand that it's easier in psychology to get a conclusion that you like for a clinical evaluation, but I'll defer to Locke or others for an opinion on that.
