Psychology places the client in their own private little universe and tends to examine past relationships and events, while in the real world we live in a complex social setting with many relationships going on.

I had a very difficult childhood, was developmentally delayed, I was emotionally unprepared for the world. Later on, I spent a fortune on psychological counselling and help and eventually concluded psychology was a self serving crock. I had never even heard a psychologist say anything insightful, brilliant or new.

It is not surprising that a person from this type of background also had poor nutrition, no role models, and low self esteem. This was treated by (a) extensive research and testing to determine what minerals I was lacking, and what brain foods i could benefit from, (b) self esteem can be raised through work, study and quaifications, and eventually a feeling of validation as a result. Vocational psychology is another "science" altogether if you have the bucks.

Only the individual can step outside of all the narrow paradigms and put it all together.

I also wish to comment on that idiot a number of posts back who claimed all criminals had a low IQ. The ones that get caught probably do because they were dumb enough to get caught. This doesn't mean that the rest of us with varying degrees of intelligence are all non-criminal simply because we haven't been caught. Perhaps that poster is a psychologist.
