“Critical Race Theory” training AT&T style

I rubbished the APA, not the entire discipline.

Not that I wouldnt..

Just kidding, and in my personal experience Psychiatrists are the only ones I have had trouble with.

Admittedly aside from Phil I know of no other recent issues, but Dr. Phil is a huge issue, his fans live out his tough love BS on their family members. And the harm he has done to actual guests alone is pretty remarkable.

This is something I plan on going into more detail on, but will take a while. I just spotted their recent change of heart on phil, which seems to me likely another form of enabling.

But does Richard Bandler get free advertising from the APA?

Much closer to Dr Phil would be Uta Frith and her free advertising from the Royal Society.

well actually, all of this was before his anointing by the APA, and Dr Phil was not convicted of Sexual Assault, but im sure he had a very good lawyer. In fact he is a forsenic psychologist who could probably do well as a lawyer himself.



Texas State Board of Examiners of Psychologists (1988)
On October 21, 1988, the Texas State Board of Examiners of Psychologists determined that McGraw had hired a former patient for "part-time temporary employment".[51] Specifically, the board cited "a possible failure to provide proper separation between termination of therapy and the initiation of employment",[52] issued a letter of reprimand and imposed administrative penalties.[53] The board also investigated claims made by the patient of inappropriate contact initiated by McGraw, but the "Findings of Fact" document issued by the board on October 21, 1988, at the end of its investigation includes no reference to any physical contact of any kind. It specifically identified "the therapeutic and business relationships" as constituting McGraw's sole issue with the board.[53] McGraw fulfilled all terms of the board's requirements, and the board closed its complaint file in June 1990.[54]

Weight loss products (2003)
In 2003, McGraw lent his name and image to a line of nutritional supplements, including vitamin packets, meal replacement drinks, and power bars under the brand name Shape Up, under a licensing agreement with CSA Nutraceuticals, a Texas start-up. The deal stipulated that a certain percentage of sales would be given to the Dr. Phil Foundation, a Dallas charity that works on issues like childhood obesity.[18] CSA Nutraceuticals stopped producing the supplements in 2004, after the Federal Trade Commission began investigating it for false advertising.[55] Three disappointed consumers filed a lawsuit in 2004, claiming that it made false or unproven claims.[56] In 2006 a $10.5 million settlement was reached.[57]

McGraw was inducted into the Broadcasting & Cable Hall of Fame in 2015.[84] In 2020 he received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.[85] McGraw was invited to give the presidential address at the 2006 annual convention of the American Psychological Association, where he received the APA’s Presidential Citation for “highlighting mental health issues” to “more Americans than any other living psychologist.”[86][87]

Note to self: ignore the fragmentation of white in black in a country I don’t live in
