Another one bites the dust....

or sees the light, depending on your view. Iron Shrink a href=”http://www.ironshrink.com/articles.php?artID=080904_APA_global_warming_silence_the_debate”explains why he is leaving/a the American Psychological Association:br /br /blockquoteIn what seems to be the ongoing Young Curmudgeon series, I explain why I can no longer maintain my American Psychological Association membership without losing self-respect: the APA seems more interested in shaping national politics than offering practical resources to a lowly clinician like myself. br /br /Their recent stance on global warming is the last straw for this little shrink. The APA is out to change your behavior whether you like it or not. They are, like, more smarter than you and stuff./blockquotebr /br /I am right there with you Iron Shrink, having left the APA this year after being a member for 14 years. But unlike you (yes, I realize you are being tongue-in-cheek), I do not find the APA’s behavior smart in any way. They have spent their time alienating many clinicians who do not toe their party line and seem frankly, stuck in a 60’s time warp. Hardly sounds like intelligence to me.
