THE SCHOOLS NATIONWIDE ARE FILLED WITH SELF-ESTEEMISM IT HAS CAUSED GREATER HARM - cultureshock Sun, Dec 2, 2001 at 18:33:41

I find it incredible that psychologists still promote the idea of self-esteem in our young people when the founding father of the self-esteem movement, Abraham Maslow knew it to be a failure. Particularly when it is instilled in younger children. He realized early on that it made them more aggressive. Aggressive in such a way that they were growing up to believe they could oppose authority, parents, teachers and even the law. You do not need to be a rocket scientist to understand what is happening to our youth and to the culture in America.

THIS IS THE TROUBLE THIS IS THE PROBLEM FROM ONE WHO WAS THERE IN THE BEGINNING OF THE MESS - cultureshock Sun, Dec 2, 2001 at 18:27:59

IN HIS OWN WORDS WILLIAM R. COULSON, PSYCHOLOGIST

Too many amateur psychologists, hired by schools to turn ordinary classrooms toward group therapy. Blame Abraham Maslow. In 1938 he began training educators "to be a kind of therapist or listener or whatever … to teach them," he
said, "to listen and keep their mouths shut and so on." The Los Angeles Times described in 1994 what'’s come down: "Rudeness and profanity are routine. … Students make racial comments and threatening remarks. They stomp out of class and spew obscenities. They will zero in on a teacher’s soft spots like heat-seeking missiles."

So we have shot ourselves in the foot, in seeking to realize
Maslow’s ideal, namely, "everybody a therapist."
