There has been a certain RCMP division HQ which has been unusually quiet as I've been discussing concluding the special police project.... Also, I heard a hint a while ago about a prominent psychiatrist who had been hired to give advice in this project.... It was only a hint and I wasn't sure what was going on...? Now, I have to look at this psychiatrist--who had officially retired approximately ten years ago...(officially, but not necessarily in fact?).
When I read about this man's employment a long time ago, I knew he must be a very intelligent person--maybe a genius? However, I purchased and read a book called "Emotional Intelligence" by Daniel Goleman. The author states that people who are very intelligent too often don't do as well with their emotions.--High IQ, low EQ.--I know of three other men who this seems to apply to; and I've been somewhat guilty myself, over the years.
Anyway, I've also dealt with a lot of other psychiatrists and I've noticed they don't seem to understand "psychology" as well as psychiatry. After all, psychology is a different branch of study and there are psychologists who specialize in it. (I stated in my pamphlet a long time ago that I believed homosexuality was related more to psychological issues than to psychiatry.)
Besides that, I heard that the prominent psychiatrist above was GIVEN the idea that I was gay when he first began with the police project. Maybe he took it very seriously, but he never spoke directly to me or examined me; and the people who informed him never did either! I don't know if this psychiatrist was directed to read all that I wrote in my blogs and elsewhere?--I doubt it. But if he did, he missed something.
To recap, psychiatrists don't know as much about psychology--which deals with the emotional life; intelligent people may be weaker in their emotional lives; and the prominent psychiatrist has never even interviewed or examined me directly.
According to my research, the American psychiatrists deal with homosexual patients if they feel distress about their sexual orientation or if they are forensic cases--where a criminal law was broken. I was a forensic case at the beginning because I was falsely accused--which some people know. My case also involved a gay landlord, and I've acknowledged I made mistakes and have apologized--with charitable cash contributions; and I've blogged about it extensively, and sufficiently, in my opinion. And I feel no distress about my sexual orientation [only about being harassed and denied my pay].
