Hello, fellow abductees,

It has come to my attention that a number of you do not like Dr. Sweets. I did not like him either when I first met him, so this is understandable.

In an effort to help strengthen his standing within the community, I am requesting that you please state if you do or do not like Dr. Sweets, and why. Please also respond if you are indifferent on him, as more data will allow me to form a more complete and accurate conclusion.

Thank you for your assistance.

If you value the opinions of those in the psychological field, I don't think his offers to make himself available are harmful in most cases.

That being said, your current approach draws attention to what unpopularity he may have accrued. Once people are aware of controversy, they tend to seek out and fixate on the negative.

Nor do I. His commitment to his profession is admirable in most cases.

That is true. However, those who see him positivly will be just as adamant about their side of the matter.

You're making this post with the intent to change the minds of those who dislike him. You don't think it's equally possible for the minds of those who like him to be changed if they hear the other side of it?

No. I am making this post with the intent to facilitate self-realization and personal development. Those terms are distasteful to me, but they reflect his approach to self improvement.

Why are those terms distasteful to you?

They have been imbued with heightened meaning and importance based on popular reception of commercialized psychology.
