Dr. James Dobson 3

He is not a half educated moron as are not a few television evangelists. He appears to hold legitimate degrees. He was a pediatric psychologist and he probably did a lot of good in that field. He is the power behind the throne in the Bush Administration, and he does have some valid criticisms of the mass media.

I was going to attend one of his road shows, but then I go tied up at Murphy's Strip Bar and Armenian Grill and couldn't make it. Fred and I were discussing existential equivalents in relation to hysteria in legumes.

I understand that some of the fundamentalists don't like him because he is too ecumenical.

GH: He is a fully educated moron...and was the classmate of my first clinical supervisor. BTW, I don't know of any such specialty as "pediatric psychology." His Ph.D. is actually in child development from the University of Southern California...it allowed for his licensure in the State of California by rules in place at the time of his licensure. I do not think that his degree would make him eligible for new licensure at this time. I almost went to work for him at Focus on the Family when they were still based in Southern California. I was young and dumb. LOL

BTW, his dissertation was on the causality and effects of a disease systems relating to a syndrome called phenylketonuria; which, at the time was universally fatal. It has no bearing whatsoever on being a counselor. I have read his dissertation...and it isn't half bad.
