Karl Menninger raising a comment at the Round Table on Lysergic Acid Diethylamide and Mescaline in Experimental Psychiatry, held at the Annual Meeting of the American Psychiatric Association, Atlantic City, New Jersey, May 12, 1955:
Have you or someone you know been one-shotted by psychedelics? Well, now you know why! Psychedelic insights are epistemic dynamite, blowing open your generative model with meaning, ineffability, and intensity, for better or worse:

@theashleyray As a clinical psychologist, what i find so defeating here is that i think you genuinely dont know youre defending & normalizing bad, lazy therapy
@jewstein3000 One of the cheapest excuses I've heard in students/interns: "I'm building rapport with my self-disclosure--I'm showing I'm human & we're on the same level!!" No you're not. That's tendentious nonsense indicative of the clinician's own anxiety roaring away untreated.
Just tried my seventh therapist. During the 15 minute consult, I told her I was looking for someone who didn't make the session about themselves. She promised she would never do that.
First session, she's offended when I ask her not to talk about herself. I had to report this.
@AlobhaPatrick Developed adaptively != currently adaptive. This is psychopathology 101. But no you're right, much more prudent and effective to take an approach of "no there's nothing to understand about your condition, no way to make psychological sense of it, you're just fucked in the head"
