We may be having the strangest election and two of the strangest candidates for U.S. President ever. But what is interesting to me about the selection process is our large social system that created this situation.

Several lines of research indicate that the U.S. is more “polarized” now than in many decades. Last month in Personality & Social Bulletin, Jean Twenge and her team found that more Americans today express polarized political views. Pew Research has been following this same phenomenon.

“Republicans and Democrats are more divided along ideological lines – and partisan antipathy is deeper and more extensive – than at any point in the last two decades,” says Pew. Today, 92% of Republicans are to the right of the median Democrat, and 94% of Democrats are to the left of the median Republican.

The actual differences of opinion are not all that great actually, and there are lots of Independents, but most of us are firmly dug in to having our red or blue cool-aid.

The natural tendency for us to form into two political, attitude-based groups has been studied by William James, Eysenck, more recently Haidt, and many others. We’ve even found odd things like the finding that red states score higher on conscientiousness and blue states higher on openness. There are the bug theories––that it all has to do with parasites. I do suspect an evolutionary element, because the right-left, red-blue group characteristic is found across cultures and time.

Two things to consider about polarization. When a group pumps up through this process, the dynamics–called by some “over-boundaried”– reduce information flow, problem-solving and other factors. The group becomes less effective and so less productive. It can become more like a committee, and we know what means:

If you want to kill any idea in the world, get a committee working on it. – Charles Kettering

A committee is a group that keeps minutes and loses hours. – Milton Berle

If Columbus had an advisory committee he would probably still be at the dock. –Arthur Goldberg

If you see a snake, just kill it – don't appoint a committee on snakes. –Ross Perot

Another thing we might notice, suggested by embedded group theory, is that as subgroups become polarized, and thick-headed, the parent group becomes “under-boundaried” and so less effective.

I believe we are seeing that, with the breaking down of certain moral behavior in places that I would not have expected. We have problems in effectiveness in the SSA, VA, Congress, etc., and symptoms like $20T in debt, failing healthcare system, and a toxic environment.

This is something psychology can help with––raising the level of insight about large group dynamics, taking on group amnesia and blind spots, finding ways to increase group level critical-thinking. We can help solve problems that continue to stump others.

Psychological science is home for this type of effort. Psychology has the most of any discipline to offer for making the unconscious, conscious, for connecting the dots, for using empirical methods. We can help with “mass psychology,” as Bertrand Russell called it over a half century ago, saying it was the next leap in civilization’s advancement, and critical to our survival.

And all we have to do is stay clear of politics, self-interest and self- deception. It might help also to tap our ruby slippers together and say, “There’s no place like home.”

The Monitor, magazine for the American Psychological Association, included two Louisiana psychologists among their feature, “9 Rising stars: Meet a group of early career psychologists who confronted problems and found unique ways to solve them.”

Dr. Kristin Callahan and Dr. Michelle Moore were showcased in the Rising Stars article, published in October. The authors wrote that today’s “crop of early career psychologists may be the most entrepreneurial and creative in the field's history.”

The Monitor authors noted the challenges of rapid changes in systems of care and the need for innovation that the early career psychologists are handling with new approaches.

Showcased was Dr. Kristin Callahan, Assistant Professor at the Louisiana University Medical School. After working in a Head Start center in New Orleans Callahan was propelled to find better ways to meet the needs for early intervention and psychotherapy in young children, said the Monitor authors.

Dr. Callahan linked with Gulf Region Health Outreach Program funded from the Deepwater Horizon Medical Benefits Class Action Settlement for Lafourche Parish. With that funding she was able to provide services to 15 Head Start centers in the parish.

Callahan leads a team of LSU Health Sciences Center clinicians that provide services, which include observing classrooms, advising teachers on behavior management and referring children who need further assessment or counseling to the LSUHSC clinic, said the authors.

Most of the children are dealing with multiple stressors at home as a result of parental unemployment or income loss after the oil spill. Many of those parents also developed addiction problems. “I’ve never seen parental drug use like this; it is an epidemic in this community,” Callahan said in the Monitor.

Dr. Michelle Moore was also highlighted in the national magazine and named a Rising Star.

“New Orleans psychologist Michelle B. Moore, PsyD, has created a novel way to help young children find their words in therapy: a coloring book that describes how such emotions as anger and embarrassment feel and helps children understand how their feelings affect their minds and bodies,” wrote the Monitor authors.

“Moore based her ‘Colorful Emotions’ coloring book on drawings she sketched as an intern working with a 9-year-old boy who was withdrawn and exhibiting depressive symptoms. One day, Moore drew the lines of a sad face for him and asked how the person in the drawing felt. The boy started to color the picture, and his words began to flow.”

Dr. Moore is a licensed clinical psychologist with a certificate in Infant Mental Health Specialist Certification, and is also Clinical Assistant Professor of Psychiatry, at LSU Health Sciences Center, Department of Psychiatry, Section of Psychology, in New Orleans. At the Center she is also Associate Director of Pre-Doctoral Training.

Using her strong background in psychotherapeutic and educational techniques, Moore created and produced a therapeutic tool that can be used to help youngsters express and label their emotions, but which also is entertaining and appealing.

The book as become a popular tool among New Orleans elementary school counselors said the Monitor. It is also popular with parents in Moore’s practice who often say they struggle with finding the right words to speak to their children.

Moore has extensive background in instruction and teaching and the text draws on her experience with youngsters and parents. Dr. Moore has worked in the Louisiana Rural Trauma Services Center research project funded by Mental and Behavioral Health Capacity Project-Louisiana. Colorful Emotions: A Workbook to Help Children Express Their Feelings is available from Amazon.

Members of the Association of State and Provincial Psychology Boards discussed plans for going forward with the additional skills test called the EPPP2, at their Annual Meeting held October 19-23 at the Royal Sonesta Hotel in Baltimore, Maryland.

The conference theme was “Sailing in Rough Waters: Promoting Public Protection in an Anti-Regulatory Climate,” and included numerous presentations on “Threats to the Autonomy of Regulatory Boards.”

The agenda and copies of presentation slides were obtained by Modern Psychologist and provided to the Times.

A review of the status for development and community involvement for the EPPP2 was presented by the EPPP2 Implementation Task Force. The team members are Bob Bohanske, Don Meck, Karen Messer-Engel, and Chair, Emil Rodolfa. The team spoke on “What have we done? Why have we done it? and What’s the Reaction?” according to the agenda and slides.

The EPPP Step 2 or EPPP2, is intended to be the second national examination for professional practice and is being developed by the ASPPB. The presentation said the EPPP Step 2 is a “Computer based exam assessing skills needed to practice,” and it augments the EPPP, The Examination for Professional Practice in Psychology.

ASPPB noted that competencies related to this new exam are: 1) scientific orientation; 2) professional practice; 3) relational competence; 4) professionalism; 5) ethical practice; and 6) systems thinking. No more detail was listed in the document.

According to the documents, the task force has completed the task analysis and is developing the content outline for developing exam items. The presentation notes listed, “Why are we doing this? or How did we get here?” and wrote “Surveyed members ‐ supportive ‐ there is a need!”

Some of the reasons listed in the document, were: the movement in competency, lack of standardization in graduate education, supervisor’s difficulty giving critical information in letters of evaluation, and new technology available. Also listed was how the effort “equalizes Psychology with other health professions.”

Karen Messer‐Engel, from Saskatchewan College of Psychologists, presented 2014 survey data, where 79% of members responding, strongly agreed with the statement, “I support developing a competency exam,” 13% agreed and 8% were neutral. None were listed as having disagreed.

In 2015, another poll of member jurisdictions resulted in 51% who strongly agree and 20% agree with support for competency exam. This was according to the agenda document.

In a 2015 mailing to member jurisdictions the results of the 64 respondents indicated that 37% would be interested in “utilizing a skills exam,” 54% were not sure, and 9% were not interested.

In another question asking would the board members be interested in a skills exam (EPPP 2) to replace some or part of the oral exam, 54% said they did not have an oral exam, 23% said no, and 23% said yes to some or all replacement of the oral exam.

There did not appear to be a review of selection research. And, presenters also said they believed that predictive validity studies were not possible in this area of selection testing.

Paula Zeanah, PhD, gave a keynote address, “Adverse Childhood Experiences: Implications for All Psychologists,” at the Louisiana Psychological Association Fall Workshop last month.

She spoke on the strong relationship between ACEs (scores on a measure of childhood trauma and stress) and long-term health outcomes and behavioral problems. She discussed how chronic stressful events disrupt neuro- development. As a result, the child’s cognitive functioning or ability to cope may be impaired. And this can contribute to disease, disability, and interpersonal problems, as well as premature death.

Dr. Zeanah is a clinical psychologist, registered nurse, and professor at the Tulane University School of Medicine. She serves as Chief of the Psychology Division within the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences. She is a supervisor for the Pediatric Psychiatry Consultation-Liaison service at Tulane Hospital, and Director of Infant Mental Health and is the Clinical Developer for Louisiana’s Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visitation (MIECHV) program through the Louisiana Office of Public Health, Bureau of Family Health.

“Psychology has caused more problems than it has solved for American parents,” said John Rosemond, the popular national columnist and talk show host, who spoke at a recent presentation at a Louisiana parochial school, according to several sources.

Delivering his opinions about parenting, children, parents and marriage, Mr. Rosemond made it clear that he viewed psychology as part of the problem and not to be trusted.

Sources reported that Rosemond told an audience that psychology is not a science and that there is no evidence that psychologists help anyone.

He also misquoted research, sources said, and one explained that his comments could have easily confused the public about aspects of evidence-based, psychological science. “It was disconcerting,” the undisclosed source said.

Blasting psychology is common pastime for the popular columnist, speaker, and talk show personality. On his radio show on the American Family Radio channel, he has remarked that there was no evidence that psychologists have a beneficial impact.

“I know from an insider’s perspective that psychology is a secular religion that one believes in by faith,” Rosemond said on his radio show.

“I also know from an insider’s perspective that psychology has caused more problems for the American child, the American family, school, marriage, parents, …”

“Christians should not, and I mean not, be involved with psychologists period, end of statement. And I make no exceptions to that rule. Christian counseling or biblical counseling that’s an entirely different thing. But stay away from anyone who uses the word psychology or psychologist in their title or their promotional materials,” Mr. Rosemond told his listeners.

“And I am extremely disturbed, and I am not the only person in American who is, but I am, very disturbed, that churches and Christian universities have let psychology in through the backdoor and sometimes the front door.”

In 2015 Rosemond won an appeal against the Kentucky psychology board who said he was practicing psychology without a license in the state, based on his appearances and columns.
