@KaivanShroff Funny people still think this works. Calling people nazis for 10 years straight because they voted for Trump is the longest running 'boy who cried wolf' story. We don't care anymore lol


tbh perhaps we have all now learned that maybe in this bubble specifically, critiquing McWilliams is more inflammatory than critiquing Jung. Jung is someone I actually don’t like, btw. I also don’t like Adler. Do any of the five remaining Adlerians want to come to X to Fight Me?


“All people have a personality; it is a mistake to conflate personality styles with ‘disorders.’ Unfortunately, the DSM, from 1980 on, has led many clinicians to make just this mistake. To include personality styles in a taxonomy of ‘disorders,’ the framers of DSM-III described personality styles in their most extreme and pathological forms. As a result, many clinicians learned to ignore personality entirely, unless a patient meets criteria for a specific DSM-defined personality disorder. Some now equate any clinical reference to personality with pathology. As a result, clinical understanding of personality has generally devolved rather than evolved.” —N McWilliams & J Shedler, Psychodynamic Diagnostic Manual, 3rd edition (PDM-3), in press






Soften a classic book title. I’ll go first: To Inconvenience a Mockingbird
