As a psychologist I often wonder by what standards do we have the right to judge others with our IQ, personality, emotional, among others the test to judge IQ are and have been proven to be biased so how can anyone consider them valid, but we do still use other test we need to change the standardization of testing and judging specifically children tests 🙌🏽

pickI really enjoyed this book. The author was genuinely interested in the gifts his mother had. He was always healthily skeptical, but never a jerk about it. This is a memoir of that journey, and their relationship. In the end, he felt there was something to it that couldn‘t necessarily be explained, but wants the reader to form their own opinion. As a Medium myself, I‘ve had too many experiences that I can‘t explain, but it isn‘t my goal to ⬇️
So I like this quote because it reminds me of the Trump trials today. No matter what evidence is presented against Trump, his supporters will always find a way to rationalize it. #impeachment #timothynaftali #richardnixon #psychology #politicalscience #ushistory #uspolitics #history
pickI also read this in high schoolThere is a lot of dark and triggering Holocaust history here, but it is still powerful and worth reading. Viktor describes his suffering and how it affected his psychology theories. One pf my favorite quotes was “One may only demand heroism from one person and that is one self.” He preaches that one powerful meaning in life is through love. He writes about his logotherapy and how it has affected his patients.
pickEveryone should read this book! We could all stand to learn more about friendships, the different kinds that exist, how to make them, maintain them, and the value of them. This was very well written, included a lot of real world examples and was thoroughly researched. I didn't know anything about the author going into it but learning that it was written by a black woman was the cherry on top 💜
so-soOne of those books that the tagline is super interesting — a memoir from an adult who participated as a child in the Block Study. Though this is a thread that runs through the book, the author has few memories of participating and has little access to files, so there‘s not much to go on. What we end up with is a memoir about a detached mother and horrible marriage. I didn‘t hate it, but it certainly doesn‘t deliver on its promise.
