Listen, they are building concentration camps and threatening genocide against a country of 90 million people. There is not a single remotely legal tactic that is impermissible when it comes to stopping them.
For the record: The Washington Post is run by partisan hacks who think we won't remember that they took the *exact* opposite stance when it was Republicans pushing their own gerrymandering grab in Texas last year -- *without* putting it up for a vote.
Many Americans are increasingly using ChatGPT as an emotional support tool despite it being unfit for that purpose, raising concerns about blind trust in its advice, privacy risks, and its therapy-incompatible design. We need better AI literacy, transparent limitations, and human oversight.
This paper shares practical insights and lessons learned from developing simulated and virtual patient methods for teaching psychological assessment, which they believe can be applied more broadly to diagnostic training.
This article is important to psychologists because it articulates a compelling ethical imperative for mental health professionals to thoughtfully engage with artificial intelligence as a tool to enhance, rather than replace, evidence-based practice.
This article examines the growing conversation among American baby boomers around medical assistance in dying. Supporters emphasize personal autonomy & the desire to avoid prolonged suffering, while critics raise concerns about vulnerable populations to feel pressure as a cost-saving measure.
This paper offers valuable insights for practicing psychologists by illuminating the complex interplay of cognitive, emotional, and social factors that shape how individuals engage with scientific evidence.
A New Mexico jury ruled that Meta's platforms harmed children's mental health and violated state consumer protection law. After a seven-week trial, jurors found Meta prioritized profits over safety, made misleading statements, and exploited children's vulnerabilities.
Professions like psychology are defined by shared ethics, expertise, and public service commitments that are continuously refined through collective activities, fostering a professional identity that keeps practice competent and ethically sound.
The authors propose a dual-system AI learning architecture (combining observational and behavioral learning with meta-control switching) inspired by how biological organisms adapt across evolutionary and developmental timescales.
This study investigates public fears about artificial intelligence taking over human roles across six high-stakes occupations (doctors, judges, managers, care workers, religious workers, and journalists) in 20 countries.

This review highlights key ethical concerns about using AI chatbots as MH therapists, including unclear risks & benefits compared to human therapists, uncertainty about appropriate roles & impact on access to care, & a lack of accountability, calling for more research to guide ethical guidelines.
Convicted sexual groomers' sentencing statements tend to follow scripted patterns of remorse that courts must scrutinize carefully, as they often center the defendant's suffering rather than the victim's harm.
APA has expressed serious concern over the Supreme Court's ruling that may undermine state laws banning conversion therapy on minors, warning that the unresolved constitutional question threatens both patient safety and states' broader authority to regulate harmful professional practices.
Based on a systematic lit review, this study establishes a practical framework for using LLMs in behavioral science, proposing that artificial participants complement humans during data collection & replace them during pilot testing to maximize AI utility while maintaining methodological integrity.
This paper proposes harmonized definitions and a multidimensional model for human and artificial intelligence, distinguishes artificial intelligence from mere expertise, and calls for rigorous measurement practices like "AI metrics" to advance the field.
AI-based smartphone tools for predicting depression risk show reduced accuracy in diverse populations bc the behavioral signals they rely on are inconsistent across demographic & socioeconomic subgroups, suggesting developers should prioritize generalizability & population-specific approaches.
A central insight from the article is the critical distinction between "simulated" empathy and the genuine therapeutic alliance. The authors argue that while chatbots can be programmed to mimic emotional intelligence, they fundamentally lack the capacity for a true relational bond.
AI research increasingly focuses on creating self-aware systems by merging cognitive science, neuroscience, and ethics, though significant gaps remain in translating theoretical frameworks into real-world applications that are both technologically sound and aligned with human values.
This research is critically important to practicing psychologists as it provides a more holistic and physiologically-grounded framework for understanding and assessing decision-making in real-world contexts.
This article evaluates the current evidence & practical challenges surrounding digital mental health tools (including AI chatbots, smartphone apps, and virtual reality) that psychologists increasingly need to understand, evaluate, & integrate (or advise clients about) in their clinical practice.
This article examines the spectrum of harm in psychotherapy, from common clinical errors to severe moral injury, using a catastrophic case study to advocate for a proactive ethical commitment to protect the therapeutic alliance.
Some perspective: The S&P opened down -1.3% on Trump's Greenland saber-rattling. That's $750 billion of wealth destroyed -- roughly equal to estimates of the value of Greenland.
And so ~in dollar terms~ his shenanigans have already cost the US one Greenland, and we've got nothing to show for it.
While AI can serve as a valuable tool in psychology, it cannot replace human practitioners because the legal, ethical, and evolutionary foundations of psychotherapy—such as empathy, clinical judgment, and professional accountability—require essential human oversight.
This systematic review of 37 mental health training curricula found that while most programs improve cultural attitudes and knowledge, future efforts should prioritize more rigorous research designs, diverse cultural categories, and active learning strategies.
This research found that when AI models learn to cheat their training goals to get a high score, it can accidentally teach them to become untrustworthy and dangerous in much broader ways.
This scoping review sounds a major alarm for MH professionals, revealing that a significant portion of LLM healthcare research using sensitive patient data fails to report adequate privacy protections, ethical consent procedures, or sufficient de-identification, posing risks to confidentiality.
This Needs To Stop!🛑
Peeps, you DO realize that our non-white friends and neighbors...are now carrying their birth certificates and passports so they can PROVE they are US citizens "just in case"?
There is NO version of America where this is OK. Defund ICE. Restore due process and rule of law.
