Why I Resigned from the
American Psychological Association
Kenneth S. Pope, Ph.D. , ABPP

The following letter was sent to APA President Alan Kazdin via FedEx
on February 6, 2008, and to members of the APA Council of
Representatives via the Council listserv Thursday morning, February 7:

Alan E. Kazdin, Ph.D.
President,
American Psychological Association
750 First Street, NE
Washington, DC 20002-4242

Dear Alan,

Poor man - courageous;

I've always thought that the field of Psychology, where therapists
give advice, or lead patients, should be at least supplemented
with Senior Citizens who have gone through wars or other great
traumas in life, Church people, community workers, rabbis, cultural
leaders; people who have studied humanities and have learned
from experience in life, acquiring an understanding of human nature.
Family leaders who are trusted in particular can relate and know
the personal history of a person in trouble. They may be able to
understand psychological problems better. Psychology, unlike
Psychiatry, is not a science, nor should it pretend to be.

There are already a lot of lay people who offer counseling and
services to the mentally ill. And I agree with you, it's a good
thing. The problem is that they are not qualified through
rigorous training to diagnose and treat a serious illness, even
if they can be helpful in other ways.

No discipline that anchors itself on speculative juju
can be called a science skill

Scientifically they are all equally a humbug

We are haunted, not by reality, but by those images we have put in

I didn't say that Psychology HAS to be scientific, but it is not.
That does not mean it is not helpful especially with such
people as Pope, who seems like a devoted, compassionate
man. But when it comes to medication, you better be scientific
because in the hands of psychologists or psychiatrists like
Freud you can end up frying your brain big time. BTW, did you
know that Hitler got a shot of coke in the ass every time he
had to make a big decision.

You are exquisite evidence of this truth.

When the room closes up and the light bulb starts growing, drops down
while it is growing and the gently swings from side to side, slowly
turning into a huge dble edged blade and it seems you are about to die,
don't believe it. Be very afraid of the snake who you were detracted
from by the axe blades.
