What's this? An educational reformist who doesn't spit out garbage for the sole purpose of increasing statistics on standardized tests? Haven't been exposed to him so far in my liberal arts masters program, no sir. It's all about multiple intelligences and dealing with oppositional defiant disorder over here bub.

http://www.madinamerica.com/2012/02/why-anti-authoritarians-are-diagnosed-as-mentally-ill/

...Gaining acceptance into graduate school or medical school and achieving a PhD or MD and becoming a psychologist or psychiatrist means jumping through many hoops, all of which require much behavioral and attentional compliance to authorities, even to those authorities that one lacks respect for. The selection and socialization of mental health professionals tends to breed out many anti-authoritarians. Having steered the higher-education terrain for a decade of my life, I know that degrees and credentials are primarily badges of compliance. Those with extended schooling have lived for many years in a world where one routinely conforms to the demands of authorities. Thus for many MDs and PhDs, people different from them who reject this attentional and behavioral compliance appear to be from another world—a diagnosable one.

I have found that most psychologists, psychiatrists, and other mental health professionals are not only extraordinarily compliant with authorities but also unaware of the magnitude of their obedience. And it also has become clear to me that the anti-authoritarianism of their patients creates enormous anxiety for these professionals, and their anxiety fuels diagnoses and treatments.

In graduate school, I discovered that all it took to be labeled as having “issues with authority” was to not kiss up to a director of clinical training whose personality was a combination of Donald Trump, Newt Gingrich, and Howard Cosell. When I was told by some faculty that I had “issues with authority,” I had mixed feelings about being so labeled. On the one hand, I found it quite amusing, because among the working-class kids whom I had grown up with, I was considered relatively compliant with authorities. After all, I had done my homework, studied, and received good grades. However, while my new “issues with authority” label made me grin because I was now being seen as a “bad boy,” it also very much concerned me about just what kind of a profession that I had entered. Specifically, if somebody such as myself was being labeled with “issues with authority,” what were they calling the kids I grew up with who paid attention to many things that they cared about but didn’t care enough about school to comply there? Well, the answer soon became clear...

"lol if you" are an american who hasn't been told that you have issues with authority

I can't remember which lecture, but Alan Watts once said that going to live in a Zen temple is just like going to the psychiatrist. You should only go if you feel that it is a completely and totally necessary thing and nothing will satisfy you otherwise. No one can rightly compel the individual to seek mental therapy.

nobody really enjoys real ale, they just drink it and smack their lips and act pretentious and wish they were drinking lager. cider is for tramps and slappers, iono, ever since i was 14 and drank too much and vomited all over hampstead heath ive never been able to drink the stuff. lager is crisp refreshing and enjoyable, if its good lager and not heineken or whatever. lager supremacy 1488
