Apparently this is _Socialist_ Therapy.
I have been buggin' everyone on TIPS about social therapy. I am not a
clinician but have found myself intrigued with fact that social therapy
has
apparently adopted a political agenda and some claim that it is a leftist
cult. I was always under the impression that psychologists were neutral.
Please read the description of social psychology below and comment if you
would about politics interweaving with therapy. mike
"The therapist, again, functions in the therapeutic interaction as a
revolutionary leader, leading by forming a revolutionary relationship of
sisterhood or brotherhood with the worker patient and together becoming a
proletarian authority, which overthrows the bourgeois authority or
proletarian ego...Working to help the struggling slave go through the
insurrectional act of overthrow of the proletarian ego and [then] helping
the worker during the long period of withering away of the proletarian
ego."
-- Fred Newman, "Power and Authority

"No one in this world, so far as I know, has ever lost money by
underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain
people." -H. L. Mencken
