Ethical?

Here's a truth about me.  I actually personally know a couple of people in the field of psychology who deliver therapy and other mental health services to groups as well as individuals.  Out of the people I know who are practicing mental health professionals, many of them DO NOT have social media accounts.  One does, but she uses a different name for social media than the name she uses professionally.

Why?  Because they don't want their clients or potential clients to find them on social media and thereby creating the potential mixing of the professional client/therapist relationship with a personal relationship, or a perception of a personal relationship.  I believe that is called engaging in dual relationships, which is considered unethical in doctor/patient and client/therapist relationships.

Now, I don't spend a lot of time trolling websites of psychologists, therapists, or clinical psychologists.  But I'm ready to make an exception for the purposes of this post.

NOTE:  The three examples below are not of people I personally know. I found them through the Psychology Today list of therapists.  However, I looked to see if they have Facebook accounts.

Example One--Lisa Lombard, Ph.D. Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Website:  http://www.lisalombardphd.com/
No Facebook account found

Example Two--Gregory L. H. Gayle, Psychologist, PsyD, MEd
Website;  www.drgregorygayle.com/
Facebook account is found, but no testimonials

Example Three--William Robinson, MS, LPC
Website:  http://www.capitolcounseling.net/
No Facebook account found


A REAL therapist wouldn't do this
even without naming names.

Based on my examination of three separate and unrelated mental health providers, it is my conjecture that it is not the practice of a licensed, certified, professional mental health provider to post on a social media site any client/potential client questions or testimonials.  In fact, doing so may well be considered UNETHICAL by the standards of practice of mental health providers.

From the American Psychological Association Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct, Section 4, Point 07:
Psychologists do not disclose in their writings, lectures, or other public media, confidential, personally identifiable information concerning their clients/patients, students, research participants, organizational clients, or other recipients of their services that they obtained during the course of their work, unless (1) they take reasonable steps to disguise the person or organization, (2) the person or organization has consented in writing, or (3) there is legal authorization for doing so.

Look at the picture above to see that he tagged someone named Anne McMillion. Not to mention that anyone who has Facebook and can read can also see this. Breaking confidentiality much?  Yes, he would be, if this is even real.

And if it's not real, then, once again, Umar is lying.

So what in the world is Umar doing?  And why is he doing it?

Baby Mamma Number Three...

Umar Johnson has no right to tell anyone anything about families, children, or education as far as I'm concerned. Why? Because, y'all, Umar has just been "tagged" with Baby Mamma Number Three. I will not do the woman involved the disservice of putting her name out on this blog, but just pay attention to the video  below. This man, who is clearly irresponsible , who is telling you that he needs your donations to create a school for Black boys, although he can't explain where the money is , who tells you he isn't going to show you his plan because y'all too stupid to understand, unless you have a $10,000 check , then he can let you in on the plan, with his tax liens and a pretend relationship to Frederick Douglass, AND who has six degrees , none of which he has shown, who lies about celibacy , who has THREE, count 'em, THREE baby mammas , yet he is unapologetically African , who doesn't respect any man who is not committed to a Black wo...

A Fraction of A Man

Damnitall to hell!  I was just here, minding my own business, progressing and enjoying my life! BUT... I've sat back and watch more of Umar Johnson with his lies, schemes, scams, disrespect, danger, hypocrisy, usury, foolery, fuckery, and disregard of Black people and I'm beyond sickened of what I'm seeing in this goddamned fool who supposedly has six degrees. Oh my God!  Where do I start? Weakness At this block party, there were people, supposedly the New Black Panther Party, allegedly had assault weapons pointing down at the crowd from a roof of the trap bandos.  From what I understand of the laws of Delaware concerning open-carry weapons, having open-carry assault weapons is illegal.   Thank the heavens that nothing happened.  But, that situation, in and of itself is dangerous, especially with women, children and elders present.  Why have that at a "family" oriented block party?  What was Umar Johnson expecting?  Did he reall...

Take a bit of advice from Public Enemy, please. Don't believe the hype ! What hype am I talking about? The idea the Umar Johnson has actually acquired a building, in my view, is a bunch of hype. Umar Johnson claims the has bought a building, or a set of buildings located at 610 - 611 East 17th Street in Wilmington, DE. Okay So, let's look at the records. Exhibit One is the records of recent sales in New Castle County, Wilmington, DE Exhibit One - Recent real estate sales in New Castle County, Wilmington, DE Let's look at Exhibit Two below where we see that the last purchase of this property was in 2017.
