Jewish psychologists

A reader warns me that I risk criticism by referring yesterday to a big-shot Jewish Harvard psychology professor, Steven Pinker.

Tiger Woods' ex-caddie just apologized for a negative comment that had the word "black" in it. Maybe he did not mean it to be racist, but it sounded that way. I certainly do not want to sound anti-Jewish, as that would distract from my message here.

But I do criticize psychologists a lot, and psychology is a very Jewish profession, so I still run the risk of offending people even if I never explicitly mention Jewish issues.

A Jewish site says:
Jewish psychologists and the influence of Jewish tradition have been instrumental in creating the field of modern psychology. The fundamentals of several psychological movements can be traced directly to Jewish values, ideas, and practices, and Jews in the 20th century were at the forefront of research about the psyche and the varieties of human behavior.

Jewish psychologists founded several branches of psychological inquiry. All of the major theorists of the Gestalt school, except Wolfgang Kohler, were Jews. Max Wertheimer, Kurt Koffka, Kurt Lewin, and Kurt Goldstein posited theories of perception and understanding based on holistic understanding, rather than a previous model based on the computation of parts.

Psychoanalysis was founded by Sigmund Freud and, with the notable exception of Carl Jung, most of its early proponents were also Jews.
Freud and Jung were also quacks. Freud faked his work, and nothing that he did
had any scientific merit
. His reputation was created largely by other Jews who idolized him.
Why the Jews?

Some intellectual historians speculate that it was particular Jewish personality and cultural traits that led Jews to lead the field of psychology in its early days. ...

According to studies conducted by Mark Zborowski, an anthropologist who investigated cultural aspects of pain, Jews respond more quickly to physical discomfort than non-Jews. Jewish families often discuss issues and problems in great detail, and suffering individuals are encouraged to "let out" their feelings and achieve catharsis through communication.

According to Peter Langman, "Jews differ from many cultural groups in that they place less value on self-reliance and are less suspicious of taking their problems to professionals." Thus, the traditional role of rabbi/rebbe involves extensive counseling or psychotherapy.
My ex-wife and I had two child custody evaluations by psychologists, one gay and one Jewish. Both appear to be seriously emotionally damaged shrinks who project their own personal problems on others. I originally thought that they were just incompetent, but they are much worse than that. They are vindictive and malicious charlatans.

Maybe Jews have a tradition of psychological problems, counseling, and emotional dependence, but other Americans have a tradition of self-reliance and family autonomy.

Woody Allen made movies that popularized the image of Jews as dysfunctional neurotics who need regular psychotherapy to cope with daily life. Most Jews are not like that, of course, but the court psychologists do not seem to understand that normal Americans have no use for psychotherapy.

So is the destructive value of the child custody evaluation work related to them being gay and Jewish? I think it is. I do not believe that a Christian heterosexual family man would write reports anything like what these jerks did. He would not charge $28,000 either.

I don't want to blame all gays and Jews. I have no doubt that most gays and Jews would sharply disapprove of the practices of these child custody evaluators. But the psychology profession is dominated by gays, Jews, and others who are opposed to traditional American Christian family values, and they abuse their power and influence to destroy the families of others. They are the bigots, and political correctness should not prevent me from pointing it out.

If there are any gays or Jews or psychologists who speak out against what the psychology profession is doing in the family court, please let me know so that I can credit them. There is a war going on between decent Americans, and those who are trying to destroy American values. I want to know who is on which side.

In other news, a New Jersey newspaper reports:
The price was steep. As much as $160,000 to secure a donor willing to give up a human kidney for transplant.

And Levy Itzhak Rosenbaum — who told neighbors in Brooklyn he dabbled in construction and real estate — bragged on surveillance recordings that he had participated in many such black market deals.

Today, the 60-year-old Israeli pleaded guilty in federal court to helping an FBI informant procure a kidney as part of an elaborate federal sting. At the same time, he admitted arranging transplants for three other New Jersey patients with failing kidneys — all of whom underwent surgery in out-of-state hospitals after paying Rosenbaum. None of the patients or hospitals was named, nor were they charged.

It marked the first time in this country anyone has ever been convicted for brokering illegal kidney transplants for profit. ...

Separately, five Orthodox rabbis from Brooklyn and the Jersey shore were charged with laundering millions of dollars through various religious charities.
If the feds can do a sting and prosecute the kidney sellers, they ought to do a sting against the corrupt family court psychologists.

George,

You're right, jews and gays dominate and shape the psycholgy field. Charlatans such as Perlmutter and Johnson dominate the family law courts, but it has nothing to do with them being gay or jewish, and everything to do with them being crooks.

Should we be more likely to have faith in Pinker, ph.d psych. because he is exposing fraud in psychology and a big shot jew from Harvard ? Should we be more suspicious of Perlmutter, ph.d psych./ loser of charging $28,000, because he is a jew, and doesn't hold christian values ?

They are either crooks or they are exposing fraud not because of their religion, or their sexual orientation. They are doing whatever they are doing because they are moral or immoral people.

I think it mostly comes down to intentions. If all the court personnel, c.p.s. etc. had honest intentions, we might gripe just a bit about their views, but if they were fair about things, we could live with it, and at least play by some sort of rules.

Disgusting post. The United States needs to look towards Europe and adopt their policy of prosecuting those that publicly spread hate speech. That's what this post is... hate speech from a privileged white male

Christian values and white males have caused nearly all of the heart ache, misery and injustice in this world. It's little wonder most white males agree with posts like this. They are afraid of losing their power.

Did I say anything that was incorrect? If so, what?

re poster at 3:12, would you please explain Stalin, Hitler, Mao, and Pol Pot? Not a Christian by any means among them and, what, over 40 million killed between them all and still counting after all these years? The biggest mass murderers in written history? Gimme a break, that's far too PC a retort for reality's sake. While I think George's post is a bit flawed there are some valid points, but alas that's automatically considered anti-semitism. I know George was raised Catholic, so was I, and it's OK, I'll take the hit for what the Catholic Church has done wrong historically. But they haven't cornered the market on wrongs rained upon humanity.

Too easy and too intellectually lazy, methinks your so-called reasoning.

...lest we forget genocide in various countries in Africa. Oh yes, and Native American tribes like the Iroquois that weren't exactly kindly and neighborly to the other tribes around them and in fact decimated more than a few.

Then in Central America with the Mayans and Aztecs predating on other tribes and their own people.

Please read your history. And get off the PC express. Every race, and pretty much every ethnic group is guilty of murder, genocide, and oppression. It's a matter of learning and getting past that. Shrinks ain't gonna help, politicians won't do it for you, science is very limited in its scope of what it can explain.

And law? Well, it's really all arbitrary what the laws are, aren't they? Remember, this is the same profession that made slavery OK, rounding up and exterminating Jews OK, killing Tutsi's OK, etc ad nauseum.

George,

a Christian heterosexual family man would not charge $28,000 either.

How do you know how much a christian heterosexual family man would or would not charge ?

Do you know with any certainty that a christian heterosexual family man has never charged $28,000 or more for a report ? My "guess" is that it's probably happened.

George,

Not sure what your problem is with the gay psycholgists...They're critcal of yor personal appearance , and you're critical of their personal appearance.

Dr. Johnson is a fussy gay man who seemed more interested in hair and food than anything else. He made a derogatory comment about my own hair at the start of the interview.

I did find the Nancy K.D. Lemon faculty page. It says that she is a woman, but I couldn't tell from the picture.

George,

How many of the members of the u.s. senate and congress, that is heavily dominated by chrisian heterosexual family men, speak out against what the psychology profession is doing in the family court ? please credit them.

George said...

Some congressmen are pro-family. Some are anti-family. It would be nice if we could force them to take a stand on what the psychologists are doing.

Anonymous said...

but are they aware of what the shrinks are doing?

George said...

If only more congressman read my blog, maybe the world would be a better place!

George,

After years of critisizing psychologists countless times, without offending jews or others, do you really think that you were running much of a risk of offending people anyway while not explicity connecting jews to the psychology profession ?

psychology is a very Jewish profession, so I still run the risk of offending people even if I never explicitly mention Jewish issues.

Do you really think that this sounds sincere ..?

I certainly do not want to sound anti-Jewish, as that would distract from my message here.

Given that you reference a horrendous crimes committed by an Israeli, as well as 5 rabbis, in what you refer to as "in other stories" directly below ?

You also say ....

Most Jews are not like that, of course, but the court psychologists do not seem to understand that normal Americans have no use for psychotherapy.

Are you saying that it just so happens that the few jews that"are like that" end up becoming psychologists for family law courts ?
"Jews differ from many cultural groups in that they place less value on self-reliance and are less suspicious of taking their problems to professionals."

If this is true as you suggest, why would you also feel that...?

I have no doubt that most gays and Jews would sharply disapprove of the practices of these child custody evaluators.

From what you're saying, it seems that jews would approve.

You certainly made it clear that you are not interested in offending jews, in general.

George said...

Most Jews do not believe in imposing their values on others. But the Jewish court psychologists do. That is why I say most Jews would disapprove of the court psychologists.

Those who criticize American Communists, Marxists, and Wall Streat investment bankers are often accused of anti-semitism because of the huge Jewish influence in those areas. So I could criticize psychologists and be accused of anti-semitism, even if I never mention Jews.

I want to analyze the biases of the court psychologists. Maybe I will be persuaded that Jewishness has nothing to do with it, but I want my conclusions to be based on facts, not political correctness.

Anonymous said...

You want your conclusions to be based on facts like these ?

a Christian heterosexual family man would write reports anything like what these jerks did. He would not charge $28,000 either.

You could also find 1000 stories on Bernie Madoff, and not find a reference to his jewishness. And you could find 1000 stories on Elliot Spitzer going after these types on Wall st. and no reference to his jewishness, either.

As for jewishness and values, I suppose charging $28,000.00 is part of their "value system" ?

Citing the Israeli, and 5 rabbis right below and their greed, wasn't any sort of innuendo. You weren't suggesting that if dthe FBI can set up a sting for one group of greedy jews why not another.

Pinker denounces the psychologists.
Does anyone ever say that the big shot Harvard jews is critisizing his own people ? Or Spitzer another big shot Harvard jew is going after his own people ?

George said...

You say that the Bernie Madoff stories do not mention his Jewishness, but that is just not true. Here is one of the first stories on the scandal, the Dec. 12, 2008 NY Times story. A lot of reporters seemed to be scared to mention the Jewish angle, but the NY Times is a largely Jewish newspaper and it covered the Jewish angle from the start.

My opinions on this subject are still tentative. I will post more. If there are Christians who are doing what Perlmutter is doing, please let me know. I would like to expose them also. But yes, I believe that charging $28,000 for such a destructive evaluation is part of their value system. Christians do not do that.

Anonymous said...

No. Here's what i said you could find...

You could also find 1000 stories on Bernie Madoff, and not find a reference to his jewishness.

I didn't suggest that you couldn't find one story that did reference it.

What's important though is that your opinions are tentative. You are only sure of 2 things for now. What it is jews will do and christians will not do, and jews are critisized for everything from being Marxists to oppressive capitalists and everything in between such as greedy court evaluators.

George said...

Yes, many Madoff stories did not mention that he and most of his victims were Jewish. I have posted complaints about psychologists for several years without mentioning the Jewish angle. Now I am exploring the ideologies behind these psychologists' evaluations. Should I ignore those ideologies? I don't think so.

Anonymous said...

Ideoligies ? You already know what they will or won't do, and it's based on whether they are jewish or christian.

George said...

I guess that you are agreeing that there is a Jewish influence here.

Anonymous said...

No. I said at the top of the page..

Charlatans such as Perlmutter and Johnson dominate the family law courts, but it has nothing to do with them being gay or jewish, and everything to do with them being crooks.

They are doing whatever they are doing because they are moral or immoral people.

Your analysis or sample is based on 2. One gay, who's actions you attribute to him holding gay values, and one jew who's fleecing of you is attributed to him being jewish, rather than a christian, who would have adhered to christian or christian judeo values and not charged you $28,000.

Now, if you personal sample was much much greater than 2 TWO.....maybe you'd be on to something...but, I suspect that if you had or referred to a much greater sample, you'd find that they were not influenced by an ideology or set of values, but rather lacked either and was doing what best served the courts financial interests and their own finanacial interests and perpetuated their place on the court's approved list of "good" people to serve the systems's personnel.

George said...

I don't see how you can say that "they were not influenced by an ideology or set of values". They write reports. They don't write the same report every time. Something is influencing them. Yes, they are serving the court's financial interests. But a lot of different reports could be doing that. It seems to me that they are very clearly influenced by ideologies and values.

Anonymous said...

How familiar are you with other people's cases and evaluations ?

"two certified yet differing documents purporting to be the Full Evaluation by Dr. Bret Johnson containing different dates and case numbers."

The reports have predetermined outcomes. Why do you think that Johnson only needed 20 minutes with you before writing a report about you that contained a lot of vague jibberish ?

George said...

I think that he was able to leap to conclusions because he was applying his prejudices, and I am just analyzing those prejudices.

Anonymous said...

It could be ? We may have to just agree to disagree. Consider that I and others have referred to them as "whores of the court". Do you think that a whore adheres to convictions, values, ideologies, etc. while also being driven by greed ? When their ideologiy conflicts with the interests of those who employ them, what would win out ? There's almost always a preferred outcome for the court. If you were to examine the reports maybe the evaluator's bias would consistently be in sync with the court's financial chnesminterests.

George said...

Okay. Keep telling me when you think that I am wrong.
