Counseling Psychology Targets Students with Social Justice Ideology
It’s rare for an academic to undermine her own discipline and to mimic the old Soviet Union’s attitude toward social science, but that’s exactly what Prof. Lisa Spanierman does in the following article.
In this piece, she harnesses psychology to her “social justice” agenda and calls for application of psych-manipulation of students to achieve political goals.
Dr. Spanierman, a faculty member in the psychology department of Arizona State University, calls for the use of psychological manipulation in the college classroom to induce a sense of guilt in white students about events in which they played no personal role or even peripheral role. The only connection between these students and the events they are exposed to is their skin color.
In this instance, she suggests that “white guilt” can be generated to manipulate students into working for the social causes she believes salutary.
Dr. Spanierman’s work is typical of the political infiltration and subsequent degradation of the subfield of psychology called “counseling psychology.” Unfortunately, her influence is significant. She is professor of counseling and counseling psychology and associate dean for academic personnel and faculty success in the College of Integrative Sciences and Arts at Arizona State.
More of these “scholar practitioners” are exposed in BRUTAL MINDS. Hyperbole? Judge for yourself.
