This is absolutely bananas!! "child rearing is about teaching children to be high functioning hypocrites", "the real you is something you should be ashamed of" what?!?!?! I get that there can be value in understanding the disconnect between who you believe yourself to be and the impressions that others have of us, but I absolutely cannot get behind the notion that I should jettison all sense of who I think I am and only believe myself to be what others say I am. That is profoundly unhealthy.

Yeah, assigning archetypal negative behavior to how people treat their children and dogs… says a lot more about Dr. Hogan than anything about humans.
