Psychologists are running away from the American Psychological Association (APA), as the psychological field has become increasingly corrupt and political correct. Many psychologists feel that the field has been taken over by activists masquerading as psychologists, and that it is no longer a safe or reputable place to practice. As a result, many psychologists are either trying to come up with alternatives to the APA, or are telling people to never enter the field.


The APA has long been the gold standard for psychological organizations, but it has been slowly losing its luster in recent years. In 2015, the APA came under fire for its close relationship with the National Security Agency (NSA), which many felt was unethical. In 2016, the APA was again embroiled in controversy when it released new guidelines that appeared to pathologize traditional masculinity. And in 2017, the APA was rocked by a major sexual harassment scandal.


All of these controversies have led many psychologists to question whether the APA is still a reputable or trustworthy organization. As a result, many psychologists are choosing to disassociate themselves from the APA, and are instead looking for alternatives.


One false alternative is the International Association for Psychoanalytic Self Psychology (IAPSP), which was founded in 1992.It is very woke and tends to hop on the social cause for the day, and from some of the statements including social justice page, they tend to biased to the left.Even go as far as arguing against the constitution. So it is no better than the APA. The IAPSP is a small, independent organization that is not affiliated with the APA. The IAPSP has a code of ethics that is more stringent than the APA's, and it is not afraid to take a stand on controversial issues.


Another false alternative is the Association for Psychological Science (APS), which was founded in 1988.If you read some of the articles and public statements they sound pro freedom and pro free speech, but like the other they tend to side with what ever crazy idea the left comes up with while claiming academic freedom and dismissing evidence based alternatives as misinformation and disinformation It also seems to be anti evolutionary and anti biological psychology,The APS is a much larger organization than the IAPSP, and it is affiliated with the APA. However, the APS is much less political than the APA, and it is generally seen as being more reputable. Which i humorous since they have a whole about us page using discredited implicit biased and the DIE cult statement on the about us Page while claiming not to be political. The official statement of the APS is far left. Which brings me to a saying i used to saying "The left are the only group of fish who can't recognize other fish."


Finally, there is the American Academy of Clinical Psychology (AACP), which was founded in 1959. The AACP is the largest organization of clinical psychologists in the United States, and it is not affiliated with the APA. The AACP has a strict code of ethics, and it is generally seen as being more trustworthy than the APA. And persuing the web page, they do seem the most neutral and balanced, and when they do take a policy stand they allow for second opinions, which a lot of media health organisations and scientists seem to be against open and free dialogue


So, if you're a psychologist who is looking for an alternative to the APA, there is one out three good options to choose from. Each organization has its own advantages and disadvantages, so it's important to do your research before deciding which one is right for you.
