For some light hearted fun, i.e. don’t at me… (not exhaustive, everyone is valued, etc)

#MetGala2022 attendees as #mentalhealth staff; a thread 🧵;
Lacanian purist. Begs his colleagues to return to the unheimliche nature of of the Freudian discovery, locus of fantastical evanescent surprises such as the dream, the lapsus, the parapraxis, and the joke. Image

Geripsychiatrist. Doesn’t have time for your shit, especially when you suggest it’s new-onset schizophrenia in an 85-year-old. Drives a Volvo 840GL and parks on the curb after arriving at 10am. Image
CBT monogamist. Her tailor completed this outfit in six to twelve sessions, no more, no less. Gives you daggers when you suggest long term psychotherapy to address underlying patterns of interpersonal interaction. Image
Child and adolescent psychiatrist. Looks at you like this when you try and send your 12-year-old in by themselves to get “fixed.” Runs the psychoanalytic reading group on Reddit and a huge fan of Winnicott… Doesn’t really believe in “good enough,” though. Image

MH social worker. Loved by all. No, cannot organise accommodation yesterday. Practices jiu jitsu to curb their anger. Has a poster of a Vincenzo do Nicola in office. Will. Save. World. Dammit. Image
Clinical psychologist. That’s Doctor, to you. Yes, it’s taken me 638 years and 24,000 training hours to get here, but do tell me again what your life coach suggested to do with crystals? Ohhh she has a podcast? Tell me less. Image
