Jordan Peterson to get “retrained?”
-
A bit more to it than what that “report” states:
Peterson’s comments did not run afoul of any Canadian laws.
Rather, they were found to have contravened specific rules that exist for psychologists, a regulated profession.
“When individuals join a regulated profession, they do not lose their Charter right to freedom of expression,” says the ruling by the Ontario Divisional Court from August. “At the same time, however, they take on obligations and must abide by the rules of their regulatory body that may limit their freedom of expression.”
Essentially the courts do not want to get involved in disputes between licensed professions and their regulatory colleges.

Presumably he makes a lot more money from his non-psychological stuff than he does from his old job, so this is going to be a good opportunity for yet more publicity.Proud supporter of Plan 2525. Everything you think, do and say will be in the pill you took today.

I wonder how much time he spends actually treating patients (one-on-one) and teaching.

I kind of liked his common-sense stuff a few years back. Now he seems to just opine on everything - social issues, politics, religion, dating, drinking, the list is endless. I'm half expecting him to start reviewing saxophone mouthpieces (something I waste far too much time watching)

I think the constant attacks from the left have driven him into this much more across the board conservative political position, he is where they have pushed him to be.
I would like to see him go to the reeducation clinics and film them. Challenge them when necessary and appropriate.

Absolutely. The video may do an epic amount of good.

Interesting take. Probably accurate too.

He claims he will be recording the proceedings.

I am sure anybody can relate to the frustration of being held accountable by nameless faceless people who do not explain themselves and who have no obligation to do so.
I happen to work in that area, and find your comments deeply offensive.

That is how it is for regulated professions like psychologists, speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, physio-therapists, physicians and surgeons, engineers, architects, geologists, barristers and solicitors, accountants and pharmacists to name but a few. Generally it is understood and accepted and in the case of health care professionals appreciated when employers attempt to assign duties and responsibilities upon their membership that is outside of their scope of practice. The regulatory college intervenes on behalf of its membership. All provincial regulatory colleges have set codes of conduct which the members must agree to adhere in order to maintain to their license to practice within the jurisdiction of the College.
Dr. Peterson would not only know and understand this but would also accept it.

None of that is a justification for an opaque process in which the authorities do not explain themselves.

I'm pretty sure my employer would object strongly if I posted all the stuff that JP does under my own name.

It's a licensing board, not an employer. It would be more appropriate to say they work for him. Again not unlike an HOA.

Although I understand your position on the matter, the opaque process is justified through the respective provincial legislation that governs the mandate of each College. Dr. Peterson knows this and is free to petition his peers to introduce transparency to the process. The colleges are not run by provincial government appointees but by elected members of the profession by the membership at large. Likewise and as I stated already, Dr. Peterson would know this. Rather than crying to the law courts he should be petitioning the membership and seek election to his College’s BOD. If he has no support in such an endeavour then I would say it is not an issue that needs to be addressed.

This could be used as a boilerplate defense of any institutionalized bureaucratic nonsense. Meanwhile, the nonsense itself might be interesting to investigate and discuss, to the extent there are details to investigate or discuss.
Education is extremely important.

What would it take to license Peterson in the
in the U.S.in a province other than Ontario?FIFY.
Dr. Peterson is well aware of the requirements for each province. He would have little problem opening a practice elsewhere other than Quebec, which likely has a French language proficiency requirement he would have to meet.
