Yes yes yes! "My tutor told us that..." "In college we were taught that..." Not good enough, own your ethical decision making process, refer frequently to whatever ethical framework you're signed to and question yourself often
"My membership body says I have to" "my supervisor says no" "I was trained this way" These are all cop-outs! We are responsible for our own ethical decision making. It's not enough to disown our power and tell a client that some invisible power is responsible for our actions.

It's been a long time coming, but the BBC has finally progressed from referring to harassment and bullying of transgender people as "trans views" to describing homophobia as "homosexuality views" (For context the view in question was that being gay was wrong)

Whatever you think of the diagnosis of borderline personality disorder, it is simply unacceptable to treat patients with contempt, emotional distance and disbelief. That is not boundaries; that is cruelty. #HumanNotPD

No matter your views on her stated reasons for quitting, Rosie Duffield has made a political career out of dehumanising one of the most marginalised groups in society. She should never have been allowed the privilege of resigning. Labour should have withdrawn the whip long ago.

Sometimes reading male clinicians reports of borderline patients really feels like "but I'm the fancy important doctor how dare she not like me back".

Here CBT ideology being used again to disability and resource deny. let me be clear-CBT can be a great therapy. But as a political ideology, it is dangerous repeatedly used to suggest mindset change with minimal intervention is the problem, justifying its use alongside sanctions.

I remain to be convinced that anything any MB does is anything other than first and foremost revenue generation. Any benefit to clients through perceived protection or ethics comes a distant second place.

Stop bombing their homes, their villages, their towns, their cities, their countries. Stop selling arms to other countries to do the job, for you. Stop arming 'friendly' terrorist groups. Then the asylum-seekers may stay at home. Too late? Live with the consequences.
