Cyberstalking by faculty and administration is simply never okay. #Medbikini was not a one off.

Almost everyone, regardless of age & gender, whose bio has “#professionalism” in it or “#cybersecurity” is worth looking into as to what #ethics they disregard or violate.

#Mentalhealth is needed. Until they clean up their #ethics minoritized populations will continue to be unsafe

Torture relies on “exploiting” psychological or physiologic vulnerabilities

Some, instead of creating #health, sell services to design torture

Conflicts of interest, especially unreported, are a massive source of ethical failure. First, clinicians should inherently know torture is unethical as well as “unprofessional”

but if they lack a moral compass or ethics, reporting COI can flag to others

Read carefully.

The same defense used in Holocaust is again invoked by these American psychologists.

As physicians are held to a higher ethical standard..

..then psychologists, to expand scope of practice rushed to “consult” on torture.

Military deference > medical ethics

A constellation of certain career skills are red flags in #psychology

#Professionalism = I am a stalker & bully, likely sexist & racist, and want to get paid for it

Counterterrorism, “security”: add xenophobia to above list of motivations

The above activities often cross ethical lines as one positions oneself as “savior”, often on behalf of a “superior” culture.

Ironically, lacking ethics or humanism makes that “superiority” patently false.

It’s just about grabbing power & control & monetizing fear & bias.

In sharp contrast are those I work with on #traumainformed care, especially to the marginalized.

Refugees are often vilified, “security” is used to block their access. Yes, my values, work, professional identity are inherently opposed to “security” types.

@MSF also vilified

Am literally at the margins, often doing this work for free, paying my own travel, etc. Yet these paid consultants, some non-clinicians, who design torture & cyberstalk trainees keep coming into MY lane
