Warrior Teacher Response to the three questions at the end.
Q1
It appears that you are imposing CPD regulations (proposed Competency 7 & 8) that force psychologists to adopt the ideological tenants of critical gender & race theory, which would undermine professional autonomy, homogenizes practice & may impact patient care. This can lead to political polarization within the profession & a lack of intellectual diversity. Additionally, extending regulatory control into psychologists' private lives, (proposed Competency 3), is a dangerous totalitarian overreach. The regulation of personal practices is not within the scope of professional oversight & will create a culture of fear and mistrust among professionals. It is essential to respect the privacy & autonomy of psychology professionals outside of their professional roles. Tilting therapy to focus on social justice issues may lead to a breakdown of the therapeutic relationship between psychologists & their patients. Patients may feel unheard or dismissed as psychs prioritize their political views over the needs of their patients. This could damage the therapeutic alliance & have negative consequences for treatment outcomes & the mental health of patients.In conclusion, CPD regulations that compel psychologists to adopt critical gender & race theory can undermine professional autonomy, homogenize practice, & potentially impact patient care. Preserving scientific foundations, encouraging intellectual diversity, & maintaining focus on patients' needs is critical. Psychologists must ensure the highest standards of patient care while respecting the privacy & personal lives of professionals.
Q2
Over-regulating and policing regulations to incorporate cultural AHPRA psychology codes of practice could have unintended effects on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and other minority groups seeking psychotherapy, as well as on the profession itself. One consequence is the oversimplification of cultural diversity, the tokenization of clients, the overemphasis on victimization, and the limited applicability of the regulations. Another concern is that this change seems to embed Critical Theory ideologies into psychological practice as a fact or the only way to engage with societal difficulties and people in minority groups. Whenever any ideology (whether religious, social, or political) is placed in regulatory domains, it requires zealotry to enforce this belief system. This could cause unintended harm to the fabric of the profession, its members, and professional discourse, and could hinder diversity of thought and scientific psychological practice in these domains.
Q3
I am concerned that the theoretical framework of Intersectionality has been incorporated into AHPRA's requirements for competencies in the Australian Psychology profession. I believe that this framework represents a specific ideological perspective, and it should not be mandated as a dogmatic narrative in psychological practices. There are alternative approaches to engaging with issues of underprivileged and marginalized populations, such as the principles of liberal enlightenment and various religious perspectives. While CRT and its tenants of intersectionality offer a valuable lens through which to examine these issues, they should not be treated as the absolute truth. I strongly object to any mandatory competency documents that contain ideological content in any guise. In its current form, the Board's mandate is oppressive and totalitarian, reminiscent of Soviet-style or Orwellian groupthink, and it should be revised accordingly.
