A couple of stories the first psych teacher "shared."
I don't believe him on any of these. I think he just does it to get the kids attention. I am not a kid.
1. When he was a young man, oh about 18, he was helping in a psych ward. They would strip all the clothes off the people that were acting crazy so they were naked. Then they'd hold them down and give them a shot of something to calm them. One really crazy woman was fighting them so bad her bones and joints were all popping and breaking. She broke a whole bunch of bones.
Yeah, right!
2. There was a young man he'd been counseling. This young man liked to cut his own intestines out and play with them. He did it in the back of a police car one time with his hand cuffs.
Um, yeah, right!
3. He was counseling another young man. He said one day he was coming into the building where he usually saw this young man, the young man said to him, "I've had impure thoughts." He unzipped his pants, took out a knife and cut his own penis off.
Oh brother!
Did I mention he has a one of kind degree? He is a spiritual psychologist.
He said more, a lot of it made no sense. None at all.
Oh my! The first story is somewhat plausible, in that things like that did happen in institutions (not sure about the broken bones, but the stripping down and sedating). However, given the extreme stories he has told, makes the first one unbelievable as well. I think that he has spent just a wee bit too much time in the psych field, on too deep of a level. Wow! Glad you were able to get out of his class. Sounds like you'd be near crazy by the end of a semester with that man!
