Psychologists Are So Full of It

I didn't understand why people thought psychologists were so full of shit sometimes. Psychologists are here to help people. That is almost always true. However, I realized today that sometimes the way psychologists go about doing their business can make them so annoying and full of shit. First of all, they have to tendency to look too much into things. Damn straight. Today in class, students shared stories about their volunteer clients. The professor, even though he had never sit-in in the session and was hearing subjective views of what had occurred during session, spewed out all of his interpretations and associations. Sometimes even after one sentence into the story, he would declare that the client as anxious. I mean, are you freaking kidding me? You don't even know what the client is like and based on one little thing, you think you know the underlying problem of the client? Don't get me wrong, but he was on point on some of the things, only because it was blatantly obvious from the presented content. But I call bullshit. I am not trying to be a know-it-all student. I want to learn, but if you're going to be shoveling nonsensical bullshit that boosts the professor's image as a know-all, then I'm not going to be a drone and swallow all of it up. I mean, sure, he may be good. But nobody is mind reader good. Maybe if he watched one session, I'd take his claims seriously. So dumb.
