Ironic how someone who is "still traumatized from my childhood" feels that he can be an authority on parenting. Oh and if being a therapist makes you an abusive parent then he should warn Stefan Molyneux to keep his daughter away from her mother...

You guys are talking about Daniel Mackler, right? (Check the spelling).

He has bizarre, extremist views in my opinion but he is valuable to Molyneux because their ideas seem to align. Mackler believes that therapists who are parents can't be trusted because they've abused their own kids. I did a little article on him over a year ago:

Daniel Mackler and the evil fraternity of parents

Mackler thinks parents should be blamed for virtually everything and forgiven for nothing.

Here's a YouTube interview between Molyneux and Mackler: The Freedomain Radio Interview with Psychotherapist Daniel Mackler

I think there are others, though. The point is that the original commenter is spot on. It is very important to keep an eye out for the mention of Mackler's name in FDR discussions. Several of the inner circle True Believers appear to be hooked on him and their recommendations of him to newer members (along with all of the other FDR mechanisms) are a significant part of the convince-to-defoo process.

1) I've never heard Molyneux mentioning / talking to Makrel. Do you have sources other that psychologybookclub? I must say that psychoterapist talking about "full enlightenment" is disturbing.

2) I don't think state psychologist licence makes you good psychologist more than state driving lincence makes you good driver.
