Grief doesn’t get smaller. Rather, we learn to grow around it.

Only 4% of therapists are Black.
8% are Latinx.
11% are Asian.
0.4% are Indigenous
12% are LGBTQ

This is why what we do is culture shifting.

One thing I don’t understand about people on TT is they will comment something on your post, but when you make a video responding to their comment, they get upset that you made a public video.

Don’t make a public comment if you don’t want a public response.

@SorbetCitron22 @AACAP It wasn’t factual though…

[Dr. Jessica Rabon @jessicaleighphd]

@DKingstrom @AACAP Psychologists didn’t speak up because it was offensive (that was @AACAP’s wording). Psychologists spoke up because it was factually inaccurate.

[Dr. Jessica Rabon @jessicaleighphd]

@by_amela @karafrancis808 @AACAP The distinction is helpful for those seeking MH care if the distinctions made actually applied to clinical practice & were factual. The tweet compared training, which the psychologist training was grossly inaccurate, & did not highlight key differences like prescribing meds.

[Dr. Jessica Rabon @jessicaleighphd]

Friendly reminder that ADHD was introduced in the DSM in 1987 (DSM-III-TR) to replace ADD & the ADHD subtypes were introduced in 1994 (DSM-IV). ADD has not been a recognized diagnosis for over 30 years; this is not a new change.

[Dr. Jessica Rabon @jessicaleighphd]

It wasn’t just offensive, it was grossly inaccurate.

Post undergrad, I did 7 more years of training and accrued about 8,000 supervised clinical hours before I was eligible to be licensed as a psychologist.

[American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry @AACAP]

We apologize for a recent tweet that offended our psychologist audience. Upon realizing our error, we promptly acted by deleting the tweet. We strive to maintain a respectful and inclusive environment, & we deeply regret any confusion, harm, or frustration this matter caused.

[Dr. Jessica Rabon @jessicaleighphd]

Thanks for grabbing a screenshot @CDelawalla!

Not only is this a gross underrepresentation of our training & hours, there are many other differences including prescribing meds, psychological testing, frequency of service delivery, etc.

@ahbettis @AACAP I got a screenshot, for those who missed it.

@DrAmyPsyD I would give an honest review. It happened to me once and it was awkward but I felt the feedback was necessary, as I would not recommend the book to anyone.
