I, of course, have no financial interest in either the book or the
www.degreeinfo.com site. (The site is free to register and use, as hundreds
do.)
If the criterion for making a recommendation is that no one should gain
financially from following it, then one could never recommend a book,
website, or--especially--a school. Someone's going to get paid somewhere.
Just not me. No conflict of interest there.

If he's libeling you, perhaps you should consider a legal recourse. I'm
sure your attorney could track Rich down quite easily.
I should mention that Rich would likely have much interest in the
discovery process. Not a problem for you, I'm sure.

As mentioned by another poster, Doctor Douglas has a special
relationship with John Bear. In particular, Doctor Douglas earned his
Ph.D. from the Union Institute, a bottom-of-the-rung institution.
John Bear, one of the co-authors whose book Doctor Douglas recommends,
is a friend of his who also sat on his committee. He got right
through the program and earned..oops...I mean he somehow managed to
end up with a Ph.D.
Doctor Douglas is well-known, here, for his endorsement of a degree
mill named MIGS (check the archives), and had also been paid to mentor
a student at the unaccredited Greenwich University.
It is my hope that Doctor Douglas would kindly outline to others his
relationship with John Bear, prior to making people spend their money.
Here, Doctor Douglas utilized 3 paragraphs to justify his
recommendation for his friend's book, who, incidentally, was on his
Ph.D. committee at Union, and got him right through the program.
Although Doctor Douglas has a valid point in pointing out that he
gains nothing financially, and hence his term "no conflict of
interest", he misses a few important points.
For one, a gain needs not be measurable, like money. In this case,
Doctor Douglas returns the favor, and wins further appreciation points
by John Bear, by recommending others to buy the Bears' Guide.
Sadly, such a "special relationship" of the two is often not expressed
by Doctor Douglas.
Dave,
Doctor Douglas' various tap-dances seem typical of tier-4 Ph.D's. He
doesn't get enough attention and would like to believe that those who
disagrees with his views are there for a reason.
This lack of attention comes largely from having a seemingly
limited-utility doctorate, despite proper accreditation. Of course,
we know that Doctor Douglas's doctorate is likely to limit his option
to secure a lecturing position at well-known colleges, and that his
unpublished thesis is not getting much attention from his peers. In a
word, his much touted research and Ph.D. have done almost jack all for
him. A sad case, indeed.
The result, is a paranoid individual who believes he is the center of
attention and is constantly being "stocked," "attacked," and other
nonsense.
I would hate to see Doctor Douglas to be engaged in such a
self-defeating act, or to turn into a schizophrenic, in which the
repeatitive imaginary voices of "mom, I got hired by UCLA as an
assistant professor," may be a scary aftermath.
And I for one hope you would shut up! Your online crusade is an utter
waste of bandwidth. BEsides you are making a fool of yourself!
Mr Ass
And maybe if you had a friend - sorry - too unlikely to even mention.
Fuck you. If you do have an MS in clinical psychology, you wouldn't
be making any kinds of diagonsis over the internet.
Heard of DSM-IV?
Another fucking idiot.
Can we cut the ad hominem here? Is there a difference between Duggle
Ass and Douglas? Who slandered whom here? Let's get back to
nontraditional education! Of course, if one wishes to write one's EdD
dissertation on the issue of allowing mentally unbalanced individuals
onto online distance learning fora, you've just hit the jackpot!!!

If you don't mind my asking where did you get your master's in clinical
psych? I am curious, that's all. Psychology is an interest of mine.
Do you like the Text Revision? I always liked the DSM-III the best but
the TR at least acknowledges cultural perceptions. Have you ever read
-They Say You're Crazy- by Paula Caplan, Ph.D.? It's a stinging
indictment on the whole DSM culture.

I received my MS from Concordia University Wisconsin. They are a school
affiliated with the Lutheran Church. Of course my degree was in the
distance learning format. Concordia no longer offers an MS in clinical
psychology. I believe they now offer a Counseling degree of some sort.
The interesting thing about Concordia's program was the fact that they
required a *ton* of essay writing. Furthermore, they required me to
evaluate and *synthesize* the information I was studying in each course
module. The theory being that to truly understand material one must be
in a position to evaluate and synthesize knowledge gained in terms of
other information gathered. I found this type of DL much harder than
traditional learning because I had to expend a greater degree of effort.
I suppose this is how I paid for the convenience of DL I am the sort of
guy who can attend the lectures, do the midterm and final, write a decent
paper and get an A with relatively little difficulty. Distance learning
was much harder because I worked a lot harder. I am planning on getting
my Ph.D. at Fielding via distance learning since it is both APA and RA
approved.
As far as the DSM is concerned, I use it every working day in my job. I
am a crisis intervention counselor and I do diagnostic work with the DSM-
IV all day (and night) long. Here is my take on it. It is useful for
nomenclature purposes and for giving the various psyche professions a
common language. *However* as a scientific text, as a standard of
scholarly excellence it is an utter failure. If you can get a copy of
the old DSM-III look at the studies on interrater reliability data in the
back. Those r values are very low. Thereby indicating the diagnostic
categories are problematic to say the least. Interesting Spitzer et. al
did not include that data in the appendices of later editions. There is
also the issue of how the text has been hijacked by the forces of
political correctness. I like the idea of the passive-aggressive
personality disorder. However, it is not politically correct as was
thereby removed. Also, very few Ph.D. level psychologists were involved
in the DSM, it is almost entirely an MD creation. Consequently, it shares
the flaws of the "medical model" of psychopathology. The most clinically
useful DSM is the DSM-II, of which I have an old and torn copy. I have
never read the book you mention, but I suspect I would enjoy it!

Don't remember that quote specifically but it sounds like something
Thomas Szasz would have said.
Chump,
First, you're not licensed as a psychologist; and you won't even
qualify as one as a doctoral degree is clinical psychology is
required, at least in my city.
Second, don't back down and say that you "merely comment[ed] on how
the anonymous nature of the internet elicits psychopathological
behavior." If you are actually a professional, you would have backed
up your claims on how the anonynomous nature of the internet elicits
psychopathology. Since you provided no supporting claims whatsoever,
I suggest that you add the word "may" in front of "elicit."
If you aren't such a joke, you would also define "psychopathological
behavior," and demonstrate how on earth you're able to determine that
my response is of psychopathological behavior, by merely sampling a
few of my posts over the internet.
>
> Oh the the latest revision is the "DSM-IV TR" thank you very much!
Oh, TR (Text-Revisions) is almost always ignored. You're welcome, for
my corrections.
By the way, would you mind naming us the college or board that you're
registered with to provide assessment and counselling services to the
public?
Do you even have one?
Are you familiar with 'NAMP?' (http://www.enamp.org/)

I do think NAMP has been able to get some states, like Kansas to
license master's level psychologists. I think they are doing good
work. The only question I have about them is that they certify folks
as Nationally Certified Psychologist. Many, if not all, states
prohibit one using any form of the word "psychologist" unless licensed
by the state. I learned this the hard way.

I never endorsed MIGS.
I mentored one student at Greenwich as part of my Union internship. I was
paid for doing so (and cashed the check).
Thanks for the opportunity.

Dr. Bear is my colleague now, and a recommendation to read his book is
reasonable.
Mr. "Ass" continues to get the chronology wrong, but that's because he's got

Not sure. Thomas Szasz may have said that. But it seems to me that
whoever said it was someone who was famous enough to have been in a
1980 edn freshman psych text and probably had a very distinctively
Germanic-sounding name.
