Ha! Excuse me wittering on to myself on this thread, but I'm proud to say I've just discovered that I called it 100% correctly. I just clicked on the link in the OP to look at the paper, and skimming over it I found this: The phrase "medical gaze" is straight out of Foucault, and in this paper...

I can tell just by the language used that whoever wrote this has been influenced directly or indirectly (by which I mean taught the ideas without knowing where they came from) by Michel Foucault's idea of science as a tool of power to oppress. This random youtube video I just found gives a rough...

From the first sentence I knew exactly where this was coming from. And the following: Confirmed it. I've only recently come to learn how "anti-science" the ideologies rooted in post modernism are. Science is only one type of knowledge production, which historically has been wrongly privileged...

I learnt when my kids were very small, that when everything went quiet it usually meant they were up to something.

I'll be awaiting developments before deciding whether to get my flags out on 20th October.

Do you mind? Imagining what those two sound like laughing together is quite unsettling.

Superhero with ME? What a strange concept.

typo @dave30th :

That really is a bit of a stretch. "mutually respected within their own little bubble" would have been more accurate.

Doesn't surprise me in the least that KDM would add it to the list of expensive tests he can charge his patients for. https://www.s4me.info/threads/red-lab-belgium-experiences.14061/#post-252193

Do we really want Piers Morgan on our side? He seems perfectly qualified to join the ranks of those who have spoken up for us only to become a complete liability and embarrassment later on.

It's interesting to see where a homeopath goes when they're looking to expand their business. Hardly an advert for the BPS brigade - being what homeopaths do next.

I teach English to a psychotherapist. It's how she explained to me her objections to the amount of statistics psychology students have to learn these days. She genuinely believes that psychotherapy should be exempt from the rigours of the scientific method because statistical studies don't...

Gotta take my hat off to Russell Malcolm for taking the BPS scam one step further. Use an empathic and holistic psychosocial survey to identify perpertuating factors for which there are no objective data, then treat them with homeopathy. It's brilliant - cure a fictional cause with a fictional...

Statements like this consistently and deliberately miss the point. There is no psychological stigma or dualistic debate. If PWME stigmatise or debate anything, it's Sir Simon and his ilk's empire-building horseshit. That's all. We have no problem with psychology and no interest in a "dualistic...

Well they all say "what a good boy am I".

The thumb is in the pudding. They do self-correct - if the results are poor, they correct them themselves.

Rubbish game.

The landscape hasn't changed, her perception of it has. It was all there for her to see in 2018 if she had wanted to.

He could have had a great career in psychological research if he'd managed to change that attitude. Hey, he could even have been as respected as Sir Simon for his contributions to the field.
