@MentORPHEUS thanks, man!

There's a book by Randolph Nesse called Good Reasons for Bad Feelings: Insights from the Frontier of Evolutionary Psychiatry, where he acknowledges what is evident but hardly talked about: psychology and psychiatry is a mess, a patchwork of diverse and often contradicting theories.

The guy, Nesse, almost single-handedly introduced a whole new scientific field with his previous work, the one of Evolutionary Medicine. Now, he proposes that work is undertaken to integrate all the psychological approaches under an evolutionary paradigm.

The thing is that there are too many university professors with invested interests in this or the other approach, so such a thing is unlikely to happen, at least for a while.

As a result, you have psychologists sticking to a specific approach, e.g. CBT, especially if working in an institute that demands it, and psychologists synthesising their own approach trying to be more flexible and effective.

The main problem in the field is, of course, the Blue Pill. Most men end up there in a process of working through the abuse suffered in the hands of their own mother, and typically adopt a supplicating position: Look, mom, I have a theory that makes you shine with a godly light! Now give me a hug!

I appreciate Maslow too, and I do think that self-actualisation is still the overarching aim for men. That said, most men nowadays are faced with an extreme attack on their very integrity as a person, a female-coded "primacy of chaos over order". So, the need of stabilizing themselves is usually what gets them to ask for help.

Another point: I've come to appreciate the psychoanalysts, more than what is taken for granted in the Angosaxon countries. At least they do have the notions of male and female separate - and that's why they are under attack.

And, of course, for men that are not burdened excessively by their own developmental history, I've confirmed that the Red Pill has already identified a credible way to engage the sexual landscape.
