The Inexperienced Professional and the Temptation of Power

-

 


Being new to a school does not make someone unethical. Many early-career psychologists are dedicated, thoughtful, and highly competent.

However, inexperience combined with overconfidence can create serious problems.

A psychologist who lacks self-awareness may begin to confuse personal opinions with professional conclusions. They may become invested in proving themselves right rather than discovering the truth. In some cases, they may use their position to gain influence, recognition, or control.

Authority without humility can become dangerous.

Psychological expertise should never be used as a shield against criticism or as a weapon against those who disagree.

The Long-Term Impact on Children

Children exposed to manipulative psychological practices may experience consequences that extend far beyond the school years.

They may learn to distrust their own perceptions and become overly dependent on authority figures to tell them what is true.

Some may develop difficulties establishing healthy personal boundaries. Others may learn that pleasing authority is more important than expressing authentic thoughts and feelings.

Over time, this can contribute to:

  • Reduced self-confidence.

  • Increased anxiety.

  • Fear of expressing disagreement.

  • Difficulty trusting relationships.

  • Vulnerability to future manipulation.

The most damaging consequence is often invisible: the gradual erosion of a child's confidence in their own judgment.

When a Psychologist Stops Being a Psychologist

A degree, a title, or a professional position does not automatically guarantee ethical behavior.

A true psychologist uses knowledge to help people think more clearly, communicate more honestly, and understand themselves more deeply.

Someone who manipulates, distorts, pressures, or exploits vulnerabilities for personal purposes may still hold the title of psychologist, but they are no longer acting according to the values that define the profession.

The difference between guidance and manipulation is not always obvious from the outside. Yet it is a difference that can profoundly shape the lives of children.

The best psychologists help people find their own voices.

The worst misuse their influence to replace those voices with their own.

Nodul Nord si Lilith

Stim ca noi oamenii sintem creati inca de la Facere pe o linie de urmasi deoarece sintem fiinte muritoare obisnuite,si trebuie sa intelegem ca daca sintem muritori atunci avem creata Karma prin care revenim in trup in ciclurile vietii apartinand reincarnarilor facind parte din Lantului Spiralei Evolutiei.Prin analizele si studiile facute de mai marii lumii stiinta Astrologiei opereaza in analizele si interpretarile sale bazindu-se pe combinatii ale unor elemente precise,specifice temei de nastere. In Astrologie vem 34 de variabile ca elemente de baza:10 planete,12 zodii,si 12 case. Din combinatia lor  rezulta toate variantele capacitatilor personale omenesti. In legatura cu Astrologia Karmica ar trebui sa se stie ca este Astrologia cea mai importanta decit toate,fiind denumita si Astrologia tristetii si durerii sufletesti care ne atentioneaza drastic si usturator  daca am comis greseli,care ne arata cum  sa reparam acele greseli pe care le comit...

The Bolivian Salt Hotel

-
Imagine
Image: Tati@ High amidst the Andean mountaintops is the hotel Playa Blanca, a solitary structure surrounded by an almost endless sea of white. The ‘white’ is not snow, but salt, 10 billion tons to be exact. So it makes sense that this most abundant of materials would be used to build an entire hotel, from the salt brick walls, floors and roof, all the way down to the tables, chairs and even beds. Come with us, and we’ll take you on a tour. Salar de Uyuni from space Image: ISS Crew Earth Observations experiment and the Image Science & Analysis Group, Johnson Space Center In Bolivia near the Chilean border, the salt hotel can be found in the Salar de Uyuni, the largest salt flat in the world. The satellite image above shows Salar de Uyuni from space, surrounding Mount Tunupa. At 10,582 km² (4,085 square miles), it is 25 times the size of the Bonneville Salt Flats in the United States. Near Uyuni is the smaller salt desert Salar de Coipasa and two lakes, Poopó Lake and Uru Uru Lake...

SARMISEGETUZA SI SECRETELE EI

-
Imagine
In 1993 , Romania demara o ampla campanie de punere in valoare a cetatilor dacice de la Gradistea . Un studiu multidisciplinar efectuat la fata locului a pus in evidenta faptul ca sub ceea ce este acum decopertat exista un urias ansamblu arhitectonic , un ansamblu militaro – civil compact, cu mai multe nuclee , intins pe o suprafata de peste 200 de kilometri patrati. Acest oras ingropat este predacic si e foarte bogat in aur . Specialistii romani au intocmit niste planuri de detaliu cu siturile subterane nedecopertate, pe care le-au strans intr-un dosar trimis Ministerului Culturii si Cultelor. O copie a planurilor a ajuns insa si la cautatorii clandestini de comori, care au relatii puternice in zona clasei politice. Hotii stiu acum cu exactitate unde sa caute. In mod ciudat, posibilitatea ca vestigiile din Muntii Orastiei sa fie scoase de pe lista UNESCO, merge mana in mana cu deja celebrul scandal al bratarilor dacice . Dupa cum ...
