I know a real honest to goodness psychiatrist socially and i asked him once drunk if he was Jungian or Freudian leaning. He laughed in my face, told me no one in psychiatry believes that poo poo anymore and 95% of his job is monthly check ins with people to monitor or adjust the dose of something a family doctor prescribed them. Jorp is an idiot

I sat next to a guy who was reading 12 Rules For Life on a plane recently. He looked nerdy and in his late 20's, had a wispy moustache, wore a khaki colored suit and a wristwatch and mostly sat hunched down looking at Discord on his phone. I had brought a book by Zizek so I took it out and started reading hoping he'd notice. I was also pretty badly dressed, hadn't had a haircut and shave in a while so which I thought was funny. Near the end of the flight I ended up just pointing it out to him and asking if he'd noticed, he had and then we had a short conversation. He hadn't watched the debate but he'd heard of Zizek. He thought Peterson was a very interesting and complex thinker. I didn't challenge him or anything as I didn't see the point. I've also met other people who like him. That's my JP story.

GRECOROMANGRABASS posted:I was sidelined by Jordan Peterson becoming a goon household name. It turns out that as he became more well known, he started to puppet some alt right talking points. Which was really sad to discover. Nah they teach you about Carl Jung in Intro to Psychology (Source: I studied psychology). He made some contributions to psychoanalysis but also had some really really wild ideas as well. Much of his stuff has been built upon, but hes no more "dangerous" than Bohr or Darwin. His ideas on collective unconscious are really interesting and often misinterpreted. Im glad you found value in learning about Jung but you dont need a mentally-ill misogynist to parse it for you. There has been a lot written about Jung, and you don't need Peterson to access it.

Maps of Meaning goes into some frankly weird esoteric Christian symbolism stuff so I would say so. I read it in the mid-2000s and thought he was a hack back then. I think it was written around the turn of the millenium, so yeah I think he's always been a God botherer.

Another Bill posted:I know a real honest to goodness psychiatrist socially and i asked him once drunk if he was Jungian or Freudian leaning. They definitely have zero place in psychiatry since that evolved into the purely medical/biological tract. Modern psychiatrists have zero interest in hearing you talk beyond you describing your symptoms. They are a specialization of pharmacological medicine. They also have close to zero place in psychology beyond knowledge of the history and development of the field. Except there is part of the public that likes them and a little niche of psychologists who get into it and have fought for the right to maintain registration while practicing psychoanalysis (but are only allowed to do so for subclinical general life problem stuff). This is something the modern psychologists can allow with the justification that patients who believe in it strongly are unlikely to respond to anything else. They sure as hell can't receive government funding for it though (explanatory note for Americans: some countries subsidize or fully fund even subclinical psychologist appointments). In order to avoid dogmatism some psych departments are motivated to maintain a small segment of kooks, either psychodynamic stuff or more postmodern anti-scientific method theories that mainstream psychology wasn't quick enough to recognize as an invasive weed before they ran rampant through the garden ('feminist psychology' being a good example). Generally they are presented with some disclaimers though. You are overwhelmingly more likely to find acolytes of Freud and Jung in the philosophy department. Philosophers love their historical texts and ruling over domains of dead superceded knowledge, not to mention rejecting knowledge obtained through the scientific method rather than contemplation. If you want to have any respect for philosophy professors I recommend keeping it in first year rather than taking a philosophy department unit called "philosophy of psychology" at the end of a bachelor of science double majoring in psychology and largely focused on neuro-cognitive models and advanced psychometrics and statistics.

mind the walrus posted:Kind of dying to hear your thoughts on the proliferate, enduring, endless popularity of "introvert/extrovert." All models of personality are misused and misunderstood by the general public, significantly reducing their credibility unless you get into their academic meaning. Introversion/extroversion has some value, and significant amounts of evidence that it is an enduring and stable personality trait, as part of both Big Five and HEXICO. There are two problems I have with it though. The first is that it conflates things that should be seperate constructs. Tolerance/desire for social interaction should be better differentiated from anxiety of or lack of ability to socially interact. Extreme manifestations of that difference would be someone who is extremely charismatic/popular and has zero problems in the moment when they do interact with others– but who doesn't really enjoy it so intentionally self isolates; versus someone with a desire to interact more but who has been forced into accepting a loner's lifestyle by other problems (possibly to the point of easing their behaviour to cognition dissonance by convincing themselves they like it that way). Second is that I think (but can't prove with what is available) that it is more context specific than other factors in any of the popular personality models, and that better questions need to be designed and tested to account for this. Both my first problem and second are somewhat overcome and accounted for–but only in the far more advanced proprietary personality assessments rather than the weak-rear end academic ones. I favour Saville's Wave Personality and Professional Styles, which I believe still outperforms all other personality assessments on basically every validity measure. Hogan's Personality Inventory is also good in terms of having an insane amount of data to back it, but it is kind of outdated compared to Saville's. Problem with that is that I'm barely allowed to even share the vague details of those models to anyone who isn't paying a lot of money for it. More importantly: that their output is several pages long and requires a professional to interpret and explain to the individual how all its various factors interact with one another to make a complex individual personality not reducible to a couple of different easily digested horoscope style labels. People don't like that. The general public can't have MBTI style chats about that and arguments over who has it better or worse.

Thank you for this interesting and well-informed response. Speaking solely as a layman I have found both issues you describe which is why I wished to know more. The concept of reducing personality down to a binary where untold legions of internet randos call themselves "introverts" in the desperate attempt to explain why they don't fit in, or have friends, or have a girlfriend, seems like an active obstruction to growth. It's understandable, and a little regrettable, that better models are both too byzantine and gated for average people to understand. If it weren't the introvert/extrovert dichotomy, it would be something else. Thank you, for helping elucidate.

My armchair psychoanalysis is that he was a typically disenchanted man trapped in the malaise of academic obscurity who found a niche saying things designed to perk the ears of certain types of right wing boys. He's succeeded and has had to double down on his personal brand, which has brought him further attention and supercharged his imposter syndrome, which is already fairly common in academics of his stripe. He receives confirmation of his imposter syndrome when placed in front of guys like Zizek, of whom he never deserved to share a dais in the first place. He can't back down because he's receiving constant reinforcement from his increasingly puerile fanbase, that he generally despises. All of this culminates in acute anxiety which he now has to treat with Benzos.
