I wouldn't either since the DSM is, in these particular areas, extremely misleading. I think that is for a reason, too. As Cleckley, Hare, Babiak, Stout, and many others note, the professions of psychology/medicine/psychiatry are VERY attractive to psychopaths whose innate, instinctive urging is for "power and control over others." Of course, there is a vast keyboard of expressions of this urge from the abusive husband/lover to such as Hitler.JudeA said:I have my degree in counseling and, as I have said, I've worked with the mentally ill. John is ill though I would never attempt to DSM him.
John, of course, declared that our researches in this field were "scary" because, to him, psychology and psychiatry (and probably even medicine) were "Jewish sciences." That is, to some extent, true, but that doesn't mean that it is bad science. Sure, SOME of it is bad science - even a LOT of it - but that has more to do with psychological deviance than it has to do with being or not being Jewish. (I highly reccommend that you read Lobaczewski and if you wish to review it, I can see that you get a copy for reviewing.)
Now, there are a couple of threads on the forum here that you might find very interesting along that line. Too bad Kaminski never read them...
First, this one, which is short:

Then this one which is only 4 pages:

This one, which is basically an examination of a particular case, that of Christopher Bollyn:

and finally, this one, very recent, wherein some startling theoretical work by individuals in the profession is included:

As you will see, the subject is incredibly important and useful to absolutely everyone, and most particularly now, in the so-called 9/11 Truth Movement and Alternative Media.
The stakes right now are way too high as I explained in my article "94%"
http://www.cassiopaea.org/cass/Laura-Knight-Jadczyk/94percent.htm
for us to not have the knowledge we need to do what needs to be done. And it certainly doesn't have anything to do with segregating people by race, religion, color, or whatnot. It does have everything to do with identifying the deviants in our midst who appear in every race, every color, and generally use religion to conceal their evil. In fact, the term race is rather misused: there is the human race, and then there are those that are "almost human."
These kinds of beings are incapable of any true emotion; the only thing they feel is hunger for power, control, and those things that help them "feel" this power and control: sex, money, material goods. They are incredible mimics and can "act" emotional to such an extent that even the most discerning observer can be fooled; but even if they "act passionate," they are not. They never "feel heat"; their pretend emotions are, in fact pure cold, calculating inventions.
And thus, all the more evil. It is evil for the sake of evil; evil that cannot be explained by childhood trauma or by a belief in some misleading ideology. They just simply are: like weather and earthquakes, a fact of nature.
But this is something that the DSM (whatever number is up these days) simply does not address. Hare has written on this extensively, and has exposed the fact that, even though studies were done that SHOULD have modified some of the classifications, this was not done because it was not expedient for doctors and psychiatrists who rely on payment from insurance companies and the classifications of mental illness for which such companies will pay benefits. Apparently, psychopathy - in the well established Cleckley sense - or "Radical Evil", do not fall under such classifications.
And so, as a society, we are deprived of that knowledge, that awareness, which could truly help us now in our hour of dire need. Knowledge of our true state (under the rule of conscienceless deviants) and their plans for us (annihilation of most normal human beings), and how to recognize them and exclude them from our society so as to create networks of mutual support, is the most important thing any of us can learn right now.
The first job is to learn, then to apply the knowledge. And the first place that this knowledge should be applied is to the so-called 9/11 Truth movement and Alternative Media. Agents and disinformationalists and doctrinaire provocateurs, and sly, subtle "twisters" and mis-directors need to be identified and that identification made widely known. And all this needs to be done based on a well-established clinical standard that already exists.
Poor John, he could have done so much for the cause he claims to espouse: helping humanity to survive. Instead, he has only managed, in more ways than one, to throw the baby out with the bathwater. Is it due to pathology, or nature? Only time will tell.
