Forensic Psychologist – Craig Childress

Four. I’m a goat. I’ve identified four shared delusional disorders. You didn’t even know there was one.

Does what I say seem logical to you. Does it make logical sense?

It is logical. The ideas follow in a linear path one to the other.

Does what they say seem illogical and irrational?

It is. They have a thought disorder, a problem with their thinking.

A delusion starts with the conclusion as fixed and then works backwards to generate the constructed “evidence” for their already pre-established fixed conclusion.

If you then follow their thinking the other way, from evidence to conclusions… it doesn’t make sense. Things go sideways at certain points – that’s the thought disorder point, the point where things go sideways. That’s the point you track on the MSE of thought and perception.

Don’t let it go when it goes sideways, follow it and try to get it to make sense in linear-logical thinking… it won’t go there and will reveal itself.

That’s what we look for in a Mental Status Exam of thought and perception. We sweep their frontal lobe executive functions for linear-logical reasoning. We’re not looking at the content of their ideas, the what of what they say, we looking at the process that they used to reach that conclusion, the how of the what.

So I constructed a solution that is so incredibly logical to expose the thought disorder. Isn’t it logical? Yes, it is.

Diagnosis guides treatment. What’s the diagnosis?

Already they’ll be off track. “I don’t know. I don’t diagnose things.”

Then how do you know whether you’re treating (making recommendations for) cancer or diabetes? You do understand that diagnosis guides treatment, right? That the treatment for cancer is different than the treatment for diabetes, you do understand that right?”

No. They don’t. It’s sad. So sad.

They have a thought disorder, a problem in linear-logical reasoning. Linear-logical reasoning is an executive function of the frontal lobe thinking systems, along with foresight and planning ahead, and self-reflective insight.

Have you ever noticed that the forensic psychologists appear to have no foresight? They haven’t appeared to plan ahead for the coming shift in paradigms. I told them lots of times, a paradigm shift to knowledge is coming, they just couldn’t seem to use the information.

A delusion is a fixed and false belief maintained despite – despite – contrary evidence. No amount of contrary evidence will ever change a delusion.

The forensic psychologists are delusional. It’s a thought disorder. The type of delusion is a grandiose delusion – a fixed and false belief in their superiority. They believe truth and reality are whatever they assert it to be.

No. There is an actual truth and an actual reality.

“Is Dr. Childress saying that the forensic psychologists have an encapsulated grandiose delusion?”

Yes. Shared.

My-oh-my. Well, let’s see who’s right. Let’s start checking for the absence of linear-logical reasoning in the forensic psychologist people.

Oh my goodness, how am I going to frame this for my 2024 APA proposal for Seattle: “Are Forensic Psychologists Delusional? Yes.” – presented by Dr. Childress at 2:00 Thursday afternoon.

Hmmm, I’ll have to work on the title. How ’bout “Forensic Psychology: Just How Insane Are They?”

I could link it to the other flip-side pathogen ally, the “loyal opposition” of the Gardnerian PAS “experts” who are not actually experts in anything.

In 2013 the American Psychiatric Association said there is no such thing as PAS. Dr. Childress agrees 100% with the APA. The Gardnerian PAS “experts” believe they know more than the American Psychiatric Association does about pathology and its diagnosis.

That seems a little grandiose to me.

They disagree with the American Psychiatric Association. They maintain a fixed and false belief that they are actually discovering a new form of pathology that is unique in all of mental health… they have a fixed and false belief maintained despite contrary evidence.

The contrary evidence is the judgment of the American Psychiatric Association in 2013. They said no.

But the Gardnerian PAS “experts” think they know more than the American Psychiatric Association does about diagnosis and pathology. That would represent a grandiose delusion – shared.

Shall we have a look at their vitaes to examine the support for their elevated self-opinions? Sure, let’s have a look.

Oh my gosh, it’s like Oprah – you have a delusion – and you have a delusion – you all have a delusion.

Trump-cult is another shared delusion, this time its a shared persecutory delusion – and oh my, their shared delusion looks like it’s headed or a brick wall of reality. That’s not good for a delusion. It breaks the mind.

In this case… that’s a lot of mind breakage.

One – the Trump-cult shared persecutory delusion is one – that’s the baseline ground for this pathology NOT being rare, it’s just rarely diagnosed because it’s considered rude to diagnose your neighbors as psychotic – as being out of touch with the actual reality of reality – they live in their own private mind-space of an artificially constructed reality.

The pathology in the family courts is two, pathogenic parenting by a narcissistic-borderline-dark personality parent creating a shared persecutory delusion with the child, a fixed and false belief that the child is being “malevolently treated in some way” by the normal-range targeted parent.

That’s two.

Forensic psychologists are three. Among the professionals, the forensic psychologists have a grandiose shared delusion in their own special standing that allows them to disregard… everything. Narcissus captivated by their own reflection. A shared grandiose delusion.

That’s three.

Four? Shall we go for four?

The Gardnerian PAS “experts” who are actually experts in nothing, who believe they know more about diagnosis and pathology than the American Psychiatric Association.

That’s four. What do I win? How about an APA presentation slot in 2024.

From My Future APA Talk: “In that direction, said Dr. Childress waving my right hand to point, live the forensic psychologists; and in that direction, waving my other hand, live the Gardnerian PAS “experts”. Visit either one you like; they’re both mad; two different shared grandiose delusions in one family court.”

I think that’s pretty cool. Dr. Childress has identified four shared delusional thought disorders, 1) family courts (shared persecutory), 2) Trump-cult (shared persecutory), 3) forensic psychologists (shared grandiose), 4) Gardnerian PAS “experts” (shared grandiose).

Want some tid-bits?

1) These are trauma-orgin delusions, not a psychotic-origin delusions. These – encapsulated – delusions are born from an internal pattern (the trauma pattern) and they replicate that pattern.

2) Notice that the shared persecutory delusion is the pathology, and that the shared grandiose delusions spring up around it as the pathogen’s ally. This is a narcissistic pathology.

Four shared delusional disorders. I think that’s pretty cool. Goat.
