The APA is based and founded on the innate ramblings and psychotics of Sigmund Freud. He is the font from which all the bullshit flows.

My first collegiate advisor was head of the Psych department. She got in a car wreck and basically didn't work/got paid for "dealing" with her ordeal. My very first encounter through talking over my classes to get my degree, she said she couldn't handle the stress.
I made my own schedule for the next three and a half years.

Psychologists and their "science" need many bullets to the many heads, right after the lawyers.....
