While I agree with you he is scum of the earth, he does hold a doctorate, meaning he can call himself doctor.

Exposing people for what they are is most effective if there is nothing in your story that people can use as “See? You’re wrong about this one thing so you must be wrong about everything”.

He is scum and exploits people, and I wish he would just go away.

You can be qualified and a quack. Look at Peterson.

[-] hoodatninja@kbin.social 12 points 2 years ago

He actually hasn’t had a license for decades so he’s not qualified either lol

It’s right there on his Wikipedia but ok. Admittedly it’s 17 years give or take so yeah technically not decades plural.

Either you're misinformed or just straight up lying.

For most of his career, Peterson maintained a clinical practice, seeing about 20 people a week. He has been active on social media, and in September 2016 he released a series of videos in which he criticized Bill C-16.[22][53][54] As a result of new projects, he decided to put the clinical practice on hold in 2017[55] and temporarily stopped teaching as of 2018.[19][17] In February 2018, Peterson entered into a promise with the College of Psychologists of Ontario after a professional misconduct complaint about his communication and the boundaries he sets with his patients. The college did not consider a full disciplinary hearing necessary and accepted Peterson entering into a three-month undertaking to work on prioritizing his practice and improving his patient communications. Peterson had no prior disciplinary punishments or restrictions on his clinical practice.[56][57] In 2023, the college ordered Peterson to undergo social media communication coaching, following concerns about his public comments.[58][59] Peterson denied any wrongdoing and filed for judicial review.[60][58]

I am talking about Dr. Phil. I understand why that wasn’t clear but let’s maybe slow your roll a bit here.

Peterson is just a bad person lol

[-] Therealgoodjanet@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Of course! I didn’t mean to say he’s not a quack, because he sure is.

[-] Tar_alcaran@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

I mean, i have a doctorate, but like Phil, I can absolutely not practice psychology. (In my case it's because the doctorate is in Chemistry, not because I'm a quack and/or unethical scumbag)

Can you give me a source for that? I want to believe you but as far as I could find he does have a doctorate, and was a practicing therapist until 2006.

[-] ApathyTree@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 years ago

Yuck, can you imagine having him as your therapist?

I’ve seen some bad therapists over the years, but nobody would hold a candle to this shitbag.
