Bob Withers on GMB and This Morning today

[HandsOffMyRights]

Psychoanalyst Bob, who wrote the excellent piece for yesterday's Mail, has just gone head tp head with India W on GMB. I didn't see it, but there's plus one and catch up.

He's on This morning at 10.30.

He struggled to get a word in but what he said was valid. India was on the defensive and I think that's the first tv interview I have seen where that was the case. It was very useful for getting the concerns, especially around children with autism, to a wide audience.

Thanks. He said on Twitter he'd push more on the next interview.

I hope it's not Ruth and Eamon, IW's fan club,

Its on itv plus one now

Even if it is the IW fan club, misogyny says that Eamon will take the point better from Bob than he did from Posie....

I hope he gets the chance to speak positively about the alternative first line approach he favours in integrative therapy. None of the three Jungian psychotherapists voicing public concern about the affirmative/medical path for children are opposed to physical transition if bodily acceptance cannot be achieved through therapy.

It’s very difficult to get a word in edgeways in these ‘debates’. Especially when faced with a number of gobshites. He did a good job.

Here is a video with Bob and Miranda Yardley being interviewed by Dr Oren Amitay some of you might be interested in:

This Jungian Life,
'ARCHETYPAL DYNAMICS OF GENDER TRANSITION'
(podcast)
"Lisa, Joseph, and Deb circumambulate the difficult issue of gender reassignment. They discuss the significance of teen girls wishing to transition and the current tendency to foreclose the meaning of this and move rapidly into medical procedures, a process of concretization instead of curiosity and exploration. Lisa discusses previous examples of symptoms and their diagnoses in history, leading to an understanding of the influence of cultural factors on mental illnesses and diagnosis. Finally, gender reassignment is considered as a Promethean venture, and although it is now possible to challenge the gods of genetics, it is also truly awe-full. We suggest that gender transitioning, like much else, can be psychologically transformative only if there is a conscious relationship to it."

Ooh, thanks R0!

He’s on now against Bergdorf.

Bergdorf sighing, and trying to interrupt. In high heels, obv.

Annoying hair flicking of purple hair.

Bergdorf mainly speaking.

Bergdorf interrupting again.

Bob good there

He's pushing back despite Bergdorf doing best to interrupt constantly.

Bob Withers v sensible. Why don’t they stop Bergdorf interrupting?

Anyone want to comment on PS’s Freudian slip of ‘fag’ WTF was that all about?

I’m liking Bob.

"Munroe, please come in."

Bergdorf is so annoying.

Oh the suicide thing, wondered how long it would be before that manipulation would be thrown in.

"I wish the left wing press would pick this up more." Amen to that!

Withers sensible. Bergdorf ridiculous.

Amen to that too.
