#today was surgery on my good arm

The surgery took 2 hours, again. I'm sooooo impressed with my surgical team. They are caring, fun, and know what they are doing

They even have me another bear!!!!

My ex HR director gave me a ride there; my #psychologist picked me up. She came in, so I didn't fall down the stairs and checked my meds. I made her give me my 💉 💉 too! I figured she's a doctor, so she should be able to do that

Since I do hundreds in dogs and cats, I doggie everyone can do it

Prepped for surgery
Picture of the repairs No idea what they are of, so don't ask lol

Googles Finest.

The cult-like nature of #google was evident during the pre-recruitment screening interviews I had back in ‘12.

The Management #Psychologist working as a recruiter[*] (I asked about their background) made one statement to me that stood out. Any decision making matrix was prefaced by:

“Whats good for #Google?”

That decision making matrix hired a bunch of meta-stable individuals, one of who killed a US Border Patrol Agent. Cult like Google has a part in this. Extremism and ideology in Tech and Engineering is a known issue.[^] I doubt they’d have qualms hiring individuals with narcissistic zealots streaks [%] if it was good for the company.

The Yukon is regulating psychologists. It's necessary.

In addition to usual requirements, any #psychologist working in the #Yukon must show knowledge of #FirstNations history & #culture.

Not a bad idea! However, there is a shortage of psychologists. Practicioners are regularly flown in.

Absurdly, the president of the local Psychological Society thinks that requiring addtl courses will make it more attractive for psychologists to fly in. ???

www.cbc.caYukon no longer 'unregulated Wild West' for psychologists, as territory adopts new rules

@johl

You forgot the #Neuroflash database of Dr. #Jonathan #Mall, who sold his soul to #UK, #IL and US #billionaires in 2013 (#Betahaus with Deva) to become the most #morally #filthy person active in science today.

But hey, he can become even more powerful and rich, than his #oil-company exec dad in Hamburg, while tricking his way around his 2nd #oedipus with his #psychologist mom with neuroscience, and hang out with famous musicians!

All that a #sociopathic #cash autist could ever hope for!

TL;DR: "Psychologist" is a problematic term

Psychology has had a #terminology problem for 100+ years, repurposing natural-language terms which then feed back into popular usage and are now ambiguous or poorly defined. In my opinion one of the worst problems here is #Psychology and #Psychologist.

What do you think of when you hear "A psychologist said..."? A researcher? A clinician? Something else?

Imagine if M.D.s were called "biologists", structural engineers were called "physicists," or attorneys were called "philosophers."

Okay the last one is a stretch.

My point is that, in other fields, there are distinct terms for the people generating domain-specific knowledge and those applying that knowledge. In psychology we don't have that; both a researcher studying cognition and a therapist doing CBT are called "psychologist," despite having radically different jobs and different relationships to knowledge about human behavior & brains.

This won't change anything, because I'm just some tiny-college prof, and I am aware that there have been multiple attempts to fix psychology's terminology problems in the past. Nevertheless, here is my proposal, to the Gods of Language:

Psychology researcher: Psychologist
Psychology practitioner: Psychologer
