The Psychologist Speaks Up

1

The more a psychologist—a born and inevitable psychologist and unriddler of souls—applies himself to the more exquisite cases and human beings, the greater becomes the danger that he might suffocate of pity. He needs hardness and cheerfulness more than anyone else. For the corruption, the destruction of the higher men is the rule: it is temble constantly to have such a rule before one's eyes. The manifold torture of the psychologist who has discovered this corruption, who discovers this whole inner "haplessness" of the higher man, this eternal "Too late!" in every sense, first in one case and then almost always again through the whole of history—one day this may perhaps bring about his own corruption . . . In almost every psychologist one will perceive a telltale preference for association with everyday, well ordered people: this reveals that he always requires a cure, that he needs a kind of escape and forgetting, away from all that with which his insights, his incisions, his craft, burden his conscience. He is characterized by fear of his memory. He is easily silenced by the judgments of others; he listens with an immobile face as they venerate, admire, love, and transfigure where he has seen—or he even conceals his silence by explicitly agreeing with some foreground opinion. Perhaps the paradox of his situation is so horrible that the "educated,' on their part, learn the greatest veneration precisely where he has learned the greatest pity coupled with the greatest contempt . . . And who knows whether what happened in all great cases was not simply this—that one adored a god, and that the god was merely a poor sacrificial animal . . . Success has always been the greatest liar—and the work, the deed too, is a success . . . The great statesman, the conqueror, the discoverer is disguised by his creations, concealed beyond recognition; it is the work, of the artist as of the philosophers, that invents—the man who has created it, who is supposed to have created it . . . "Great men," as they are venerated, are subsequent pieces of wretched minor fiction: in the world of historical values, counterfeit rules . . .etc...

Answer 2

Some psychologists can be very helpful in helping people solve their problems. Some are insightful, while others are as dumb as a nail. You have to check their credentials and choose one wisely.Also, they practice methods they profess to be affective.
PH D's get paid very well.
My opinion is if it works for you, go for it. If they offer nothing; shop around.

Answer 3

The field of psychology is a self perpetuating industry, your patients are already confused, and if they have no psychosis or mania you can just make on up and say they repressed it. psychiatrists have it even easier, they charge more because the have some med school and can prescribe medication. you always feel like they help you because they get you high after you see them.

Answer 4

That psychologists aren't all identical to each other.

They are paid very well.

Some truly help people; others just take their money.

Answer 5

I think that psychologists can be effective, however, I would say, stay away from counselors. I don't trust anyone in matters of the brain that does not have a PhD.

I think that they get paid (and many think they increase their power) by labeling people mentally ill. Most persuade people to look at hurting, injured people as sick / brain damaged, rather than as injured by brutish human apes, or diet, or lack of exercise, or environmental toxins. In fact, I have never heard of a psychologist who thought for herself, and regardless of the consequences, refused to buy into the sick, blood-sucking therapy / insurance / medical / pharmaceutical system. Have you?
