Geffner says this is a piece of the puzzle and this person gives symptoms of dissociation and PTSD that #jodiarias is experiencing #3tvarias
So Bill and Sandy can go down and stand up for their daughter to the people at the Purple Plum to stop spreading the truth, but they can't get on the stand to plead for her life? Yeah that makes a lot of sense (not) to me!
Isn't this exactly what she is doing now?
One statement made that #JodiArias could play the victim.
Yes, my response was meant to be specifically about psych/MH experts. Psychology by its very nature (especially before the recent advances of Neurological research as it pertains to human behavior/mental health disorders) has a built-in and inherently "slippery slope", if you will. So, I, as a professional in the field, believe there is a need to address issues related to "expert" testimony, "expert" opinions, test reliability and the uses thereof in the CJ system, as well as witness credibility and standards of practice as an "expert".
As a side note: Psychology as a field was literally in its infancy in the 70's--and for what it is worth the theories and tenets of DV at that time, while well intentioned, were nonetheless very narrow, largely anecdotal, gender specific, politically charged and influenced by the Women's Liberation Movement, and sociological in nature. And those who where educated/licensed at that time and specialized in DV were (and to a large degree still are) Sociology majors (and trust me when I tell you that a person who Majors in Psychology--far more empirical and systematic--receives a very, very different education than one that majors in Sociology), and it has been my experience that many of these "old guard" DV specialists, such as ALV, MFons, and to some degree Geffner, are very resistant to change and view things from a very narrow perspective that is woefully outdated/antiquated and inherently riddled with gender bias.
I know I could have just "liked" your post and left it at that, but I thought it'd be fun to share that classic pic of Uncle Leo.LOL, I was thinking she got some sharpie action, sorta like Uncle Leo.

Sorry, but as I don't drink or smoke, I sometimes just have to laugh instead. Otherwise I find myself seething with violent outbursts.
