So, you have a PhD, eh?
Well, you make it too easy to track you. I'm not going to reveal personal information, but I will say this. I followed the link in your profile to the book you claim to have written. I then took that name and Googled it. On the first page was a link showing you as an alumnus, with a PhD, of a certain university, which not to reveal private information I won't name. However, it's not what most of us think of as a University -- this one is a "distance learning" university, not accredited by any recognized accrediting agency, which appears to admit anybody who applies (and will pay) and gives up to 80% of the credits toward the PhD based on life experiences, and the other 20% on a "dissertation," so that you can get a PhD without doing a single stick of class work, reading, etc.
The few dissertation abstracts posted on the "university"'s web site don't impress -- here's one of them:
"Analysis of the Old Testament Book of Exodus demonstrates that God resolves resistance with techniques similar to those of modern psychoanalysts. In the
story, God appears to use joining techniques to engage Moses in a narcissistic transference. Later, when the Hebrews resist Moses’ leadership, God
demonstrates a sequential approach to resolving their resistance. Spotnitz and Rosenthal suggest a similar approach."
The university also has a school of law, which I can safely assume is not accredited by the ABA. Every legitimate school of law is a three year program. This school of law states as its educational philosophy:
"It is our philosophy that mature individuals with extensive experience should be permitted the opportunity to study for college degrees without a rigid, formalized structure. The Heed program of "Freedom to Learn" provides this opportunity. Following a "University Without Walls" philosophy, students are permitted a wide range of activities to meet educational and personal goals they establish for themselves with faculty guidance. Most students will complete their degree requirements within one year or less."
As far as schools of law are concerned, this makes a mockery of the J.D. degree. I'm not as up on PhDs Psychoanalysis, but a University that offers this sort of degree in law doesn't impress me much.
And a person who would boast of such a PhD doesn't impress me much, either.
Maybe I'll go out and spend $100 on one of those diploma mill PhDs that are always being touted in spam emails so that I can out-degree you.
Whoopee. |
