Author Alliance: Psychology in 'organized disarray'
J. Wyatt Ehrenfels
J. Wyatt Ehrenfels says the work done so far by his cadre of field
agents to audit the institution of Psychology has uncovered a culture
counterproductive to the study of the human condition. Alliance
members detailed a paradigm and a massive network of arbitrary and
superfluous requirements and expectations with no grounding in science
or nature that alienates researchers from the phenomena under study by
compelling them to surrender their wits and freedoms to external
sources of guidance and validation. "This is an elaborate machinery
that bureaucratizes knowledge production and homogenizes academic and
professional communities, conceals the natural diversity of ideas,
suppresses new sources of unconventional talents, and develops rules
for the sake of applying them inconsistently to censor or censure
those that do not mesh with the status quo," Ehrenfels said today to
his growing coalition of critics.
