Now they're getting a psychologist to analyze Roosh

Oh jeez, nice attempt by citynews to add some legitimacy to the whole anti-Roosh campaign. Get a guy who has studied for many years as the "qualified expert" to subtly "diagnose" Roosh as a sociopath.
The problem here is that while the psychologist may speak as if he has objective scientific evidence backing up everything he says, the reality is that the whole psychiatry/psychology "field" is at very best a pseudoscience, at worst largely a crock of shit. A great percentage of the population is fed "theories", for example, as to how antidepressants act on the brain, but nobody really knows. The human brain is far too complex for us to say anything other than we are in the dark ages in our attempts to understand it. Another example is the "buzzwords" he comes out with e.g. "Antisocial Personality Disorder". This is actually regarded by the medical and legal establishment as a medical illness, like all the other "personality disorders" such as "Borderline Personality Disorder" "Histrionic Personality Disorder" "Avoidant Personality Disorder" "Oppositonal-Defiant Personality Disorder" and the list of nonsense just continues. None of these have been objectively been proven to exist as medical illnesses; they are just random names assigned to people who fit enough of a list of criteria written down by "experts". The DSM-V is the latest edition and it's basically a crock of shit. The NIMH in the US has withdrawn its support for this book upon the release of the latest edition, citing that people "deserve better". But I'm not sure there is much anyone can do to stop this nonsense.
The irony here is that the psychologist is a beta moron. If you want to know how that guy is really doing, check out his wife/partner/whatever to get a more accurate measure. You see within his little world of "psychology" he is under the delusion that he has competence (decades of study and qualifications, letters after your name will do that to you)... but what is one of the male endeavors that requires the most in terms of "emotional regulation" he keeps yapping on about? That's right - walking up to strange women in strange foreign lands, exposing yourself to rejection constantly. Try doing that Dr Psychologist and see how far you go. I have studied in academia and also cold approached women. The two just do not compare. Sure it's not good to have a bad score in a test, but it doesn't do anything to your emotions on the raw level that interacting with beautiful women does. Does Dr Psychologist know how many men his wife slept with before marrying him? He might be surprised at the truth.
Really, really sneaky attempt by citynews, I have to say. Get a pro in to suggest that Roosh may just be a sociopath and mentally ill, discredit his opinions based on a blog post where Roosh was quite honestly admitting his human flaws. If Roosh can be "professionally evaluated" as being a lunatic sociopath, then no one would trust what he had to say. It's a pity that too many intelligent men know Roosh speaks only the truth, truth which often appears only when you do the most difficult things. The psychologist can reel off as many pseudoscientific theories as he wishes, but by far the best teacher when it comes to your own mind as a man is trial/error/observation/correction repeated many times. Put Dr Psychologist in some Eastern European shithole, tell him to talk to a group of 6ft platinum blondes in high heels and observe how he crumbles.
There's one age-old tactic offended psychiatrists and psychologists have been using for decades. If you don't agree with the opinions of another person, you diagnose the critic. By diagnosing the critic with a "mental illness", and by seeing him as "mentally ill", this removes the requirement for genuine debate between yourself and that person. You as the professional "win the argument" automatically, because how could a delusional, sociopathic (etc. etc.) "crazy" person have any sort of concept of the truth or reality, right?
In short, don't believe the bullshit of psychiatrists/psychologists. They are I guess necessary in that someone has to process people who do need help. But as far as truth goes, they are not that much closer to it than your average man walking down the street.
The media are stepping it up. I suspect they realized all they had to work with was one satirical blog post and the shrieks of a bunch of feminist nutjobs (coincidentally the true mentally ill human beings in this war, if anyone is to be diagnosed as mentally ill, delusional and sociopathic, as mentioned above, from the most recent BoM videos it was unquestionably the rabid Montreal SJW faction).
