I'm newly registered on here so can finally post rather than just read the posts! I've actually been blocked by JT on Facebook, my crime? I 'liked' maybe two posts from people telling her she was wrong for what she has done to Sally Anne and other vulnerable women. I have never posted anything to her, and never posted anything much anywhere, so she literally must go through blocking everybody that dares to even like a criticism, and doesn't fall at her feet. She is dangerous, pure and simple. She is arrogant, narcissistic, controlling---in fact everything she describes an abuser to be. The most sickening comment I saw her make was that the women who 'thought' they recognised their stories were simply being narcissists, imagining every story is theirs! Yet in the next breath admits their stories WERE in her books. The problem is her 'works' are published via a non-academic publisher--because they are not academic works in the slightest. Everything else she self publishes. There is no accountability or ethical standards to adhere to. HOWEVER, some of her material appeared to be gathered through her research for her PhD, which does have to abide by stringent ethical standards. I notice the BPS actually follow her on twitter, so I am hopeful that they are investigating this as we speak. Nobody can stop her self publishing or stop her publishing her 'pop' psychology via fiction publishers, but the BPS can remove her chartered status, as they should as she is bringing the profession into disrepute. Of course they will have to have a cast iron case before they attempt to do this, as she will cry 'misogyny' and 'classism' and mobilise her deluded supporters. She appears to me like a cult leader, and the stories of how she runs her business add weight to that way of thinking. It's really now all making sense, the fact that she had to take legal action against her university for her to gain her qualification; maybe they went about it the wrong way, but I would say they have been truly vindicated, she actually has brought the profession into disrepute. While she has--or had, before her ego grew out of control, some interesting things to say, they are really not groundbreaking. She latches on to topics that have been studied for decades and manages to convince her fans that she is the world's leading expert on them. This latest systematic review concerning SSRIs written by Professor Joanna Moncrieff and Dr Mark Horowitz is a classic example. The authors are psychiatrists who have been writing about this for decades, yet JT writes about it on social media as if she invented the idea, and all her 'fans' believe her! And the second anybody posts anything to the contrary she blocks them. Hardly conducive to debate. It would be comical if she wasn't so dangerous...
