https://www.france24.com/en/americas/20260414-trump-deletes-image-of-himself-as-jesus-as-feud-with-pope-dismays-us-catholics. The image was both #blasphemous & #idolatrous - we're supposed to worship #Trump as a god, now? He thinks he has the power to heal people? The #psychiatrists & #psychologists who have diagnosed him with #narcissistic #personality #disorder have got it spot-on. See: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/narcissistic-personality-disorder/symptoms-causes/syc-20366662.

"A coalition of national #racial and #ethnic #psychological associations has issued a statement opposing the formation of an Association of #Jewish #Psychologists as an official #EthnicPsychologicalAssociation (#EPA) within the #AmericanPsychologicalAssociation (#APA).
The Coalition of National Racial and Ethnic Psychological Associations (#CONREPA)—representing Black, Native American, Latinx, Asian American, and Arab/Middle Eastern/North African psychologists—argued that Jewish #psychologists are not underrepresented in the APA and that most Jewish Americans identify as white."

#Trump must release millions in #grants meant to address the shortage of #MentalHealth workers in #schools, a federal judge ruled.
#Congress funded the program after the 2022 #Uvalde #SchoolShooting. The grants were intended to help schools hire more #counselors, #psychologists & #SocialWorkers, & focus on rural & underserved areas. But Trump’s admin opposed #diversity considerations used to award the grants & told recipients they wouldn’t continue past Dec 2025.

The #USB Type A connector is undoubtedly the most ingenious engineering design, if the success of this design is to be assessed by how much #frustration one electrical engineer can mete out to billions of humans. But if we are to employ the correct measure—#usability—this design must necessarily rank at the bottom.
As #engineers, we must all exercise a bit of #humility and listen to the #psychologists who are trained in #HumanFactor.

TRIGGER WARNING: Military Psychology
New Rules at VA Effect Treatment and Hiring of Patients and Staff Based Upon Political and Marital Affiliations
New Rules at VA Effect Treatment and Hiring of Patients and Staff Based Upon Political and Marital AffiliationsPlease note this not "only" effects patients -- staff can be discriminated against (or fired?) for #nationalorigin , #sexualorientation , #maritalstatus, membership in a #union and/or lawful political party affiliation.
Hashtags in quotes below added by me to the quotes.

TITLE: ‘Extremely disturbing and unethical’: new rules allow VA doctors to refuse to treat Democrats, unmarried veterans
URL: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jun/16/va-doctors-refuse-treat-patients"Doctors at Department of #Veterans Affairs ( #VA ) hospitals nationwide could refuse to treat unmarried veterans and Democrats under new hospital guidelines imposed following an executive order by Donald Trump."
"The new rules, obtained by the Guardian, also apply to #psychologists, dentists and a host of other occupations. They have already gone into effect in at least some VA medical centers."
"Medical staff are still required to treat veterans regardless of race, color, religion and sex, and all veterans remain entitled to treatment. But individual workers are now free to decline to care for patients based on personal characteristics not explicitly prohibited by federal law."
"Language requiring healthcare professionals to care for veterans regardless of their politics and marital status has been explicitly eliminated."
...
"They 'seem to open the door to #discrimination on the basis of anything that is not legally protected', said Dr Kenneth Kizer, the VA’s top healthcare official during the Clinton administration. He said the changes open up the possibility that doctors could refuse to treat veterans based on their “reason for seeking care – including allegations of #rape and #sexualassault – current or past political #partyaffiliation or #politicalactivity, and personal 'behavior such as alcohol or marijuana use'."
...
"Similarly, the bylaw on 'decisions regarding medical staff membership' no longer forbids VA hospitals from discriminating against candidates for staff positions based on national origin, sexual orientation, marital status, membership in a labor organization or 'lawful political party affiliation'."

→ Companies in Mexico embrace AI to resurrect the dead
https://restofworld.org/2024/ai-powered-resurrections-mexico-privacy/“Using AI to #resurrect the dead has raised #ethical questions elsewhere. In 2020, Jang Ji-sung, a mother of four in South Korea, was virtually reunited with an AI-generated #avatar of her dead 7-year-old daughter. Ji-sung had said this helped her say farewell to her child, but “many #psychologists have come up and said this might, in some cases, make the #grieving process longer,” Rojas said.”

Received a “Letter to Members” email from APA about the “recent policy changes” and how “change can be uncomfortable.” It left me…unsatisfied, shall we say. So I sent a response. Any other psychologists on here who have or would like to flood APA’s inbox??
APA letter attached (in 3 parts due to character limits); my response in comments.

#Israel - #Gaza - #Lebanon war
To all #Psychologists and #Neuroscientists :If you haven't seen it yet, our colleagues Mehdi Khamassi and Yael Niv have been working on a sign-on letter for psychologists and neuroscientists around the world calling for international pressure towards an immediate ceasefire and peace in the Middle-East.
The letter: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScfwFaH2AdOJBX3wwPUjCUORsOLEmQ498l-OFeW-TvDf63GGw/viewform
Their explanation:
"We take a humanist approach, condemning all violence targeting civilians, using psychology to try to explain why things have escalated so badly (e.g., talking about in-group/out-group, extremism, dehumanization, revenge, etc.), and why international pressure is needed to stop this spiral of death now.
Please feel free to co-sign this letter with us and to circulate it among your colleagues and students that you think could be interested to sign"I haven't followed the events so well and thought that a ceasefire had just been implemented, but it can't hurt to sign the letter and share it! Better late than never..

A Call for Retraction: The Recent American Psychologist Article on Antisemitism
"In sum, given the many identified shortcomings, it is perplexing to me that the American Psychologist accepted this article in its current form. In my view, its publication in a premier scholarly journal now lends unwarranted credibility to the authors’ questionable analysis of antisemitism — a critically important issue. Furthermore, I am deeply concerned that the unsubstantiated discrediting of individuals and groups distressed by the real-world consequences of Israel’s assault on Gaza can further endanger lives and set back the pursuit of a just peace."

@purplepadma We have a very nice community of #Neuroscientists on neuromatch.social, not exactly but very related to #Psychologists! I had a post listing some cool active members that I could re-find if needed.
I agree that it is concerning to see many of our colleagues going from twitter to bluesky, or just staying on Twitter, without giving a real chance to Mastodon. Since we are still in a plastic phase I think we should stick to what we prefer (#TeamMastodon ) and make sure to keep bridges open so people can settle in the best place eventually, while working on making this place be here :)
