This has been percolating up for quite some time now, with individuals and groups filing OCR complaints against the APA in recent years. Those were mentioned by the NACIQI members.
While I tend to doubt the Lindsey Clancy case affected this committee and its ruling, it has drawn major attention to mental health issues and may provide public support to anyone looking to build a competitor to the APA.
It is giving. This is what it looks like when the structure starts to buckle. The reputational damage here is huge. We'll have to see where it goes as we move forward, but racing to support those who are working to build alternatives and push healthy reforms forward will play a big role in determining what succeeds.
Wow. Awesome news. You broke this news to me. I had no idea. Hopefully in ten years we will have WWII-obsessed autists running the library instead of the DEI gendergoblins obsessing over black girls hair.
Thank you for this article. It is a breath of hope for those of us whose lives have been harmed by rogue therapists. They have been recommending parental discard/estrangement for years and it is growing at an alarming rate. Parents and grandparents who thought mental health providers were going to heal their families actually tore them apart. It is a cult like movement with therapists at the helm. Rein them in. Great news.
Might be tossing out the baby with the bath water. Woke pressure at the state level has lead to some dropping requirements for social work licensing exams (considered racist, non-inclusive, reduced access, etc). It would not surprise me if psychology goes the same way.
I think your article actually understates the significance of stripping the APA of accrediting. Its probably a good thing -- I'm fairly certain that much of psychology has been captured by woke idiology and culture, but its going to cause a bunch of chaos! There's a lot of corruption in the mental health sector, so maybe it will encourage some house cleaning in the field.
Like all leftists and leftist-dominated organizations and institutions, they will most likely come up with a work-around and just double down on their leftist bullshit.
Good news! Maybe the Lindsey Clancy trial helped to push this into the spotlight a little more?

Something’s got to give! Nothing good is coming out of academia’s humanities departments.

Postpartum depression is an evil hoax.
Sounds like a good thing. Accrediting boards have been blocking real reform in many ways, not just about Woke stuff.
I think that is quite true. While there are trade-offs in either direction, maintaining a standard, but its very nature limits innovation.
Good news! I am somewhat surprised... we will see if it is anything
I tend to think it is. That said, there are many moving parts when you get this deep into the belly of higher ed bureaucracy.
The genuine good news is that a small group of brave and dedicated professionals can still make a difference, and they have an opening.

Great article. While many of us abandoned them a long time ago, I hope our community seizes this opportunity to officially improve itself.
This is long overdue
Wow! Restacked! I knew it was bad but not that bad...
