Psychology Today Needs to Wake Up

These “Karen’s” are experiencing natural and logical consequences. Something many of us teach parents to do with their children.

So there should be no real consequences for these Karens who very well know that their actions (calling the police) could very likely get someone killed? Give me a break - sit down sir, sit.

You need to do better. People have been asking you to recognize your White-centrist and White Supremacist views for years. You've failed to do so.

This was the most appalling and tone deaf use of your editorial space, not to mention perpetuating of violence against POC by all the Karen’s of the world. You chose a white man to have a voice, THIS voice, in your publication?!? Time to cancel yourselves, hand this publication over to marginalized voices, and go get re-educated.

White lady who thinks Karens deserve to be villified

This article sounds extremely sympathetic to those that are perpetuating racist attitudes and racist attacks on POC. POC are TIRED of suffering through the overt and covert attacks. Sorry but times are changing and we cannot turn a blind eye to the grotesquely racist behavior done at POC expense. We have to stay quiet and offer these so-called “Karens” compassion...? I don't think so...

That article was awful and should not be in your publication.

I have been a customer for over a decade. I've always been put off in relation to the lack of diversity in your publication and lack of care around LGBTQIA+ individuals who may use your directory. This, however, is the last straw. Even if those that own and maintain this directory aren't in alignment with the article, why would you allow a white male to speak on these issues? So disappointing, though not entirely surprising.

The article is extremely time dreaf and filled with privilege. "Karen" may lose her job, but her actions may cause Black people and others persons of color to lose our lives!

wake up

Please remove this editorial

And this is the stance you choose to take on racism and justice? What about the lives of those men and women of color that the "Karens" have ruined?

You have a history of only showing white, entitled people on your cover and now this racist article. Please.

These articles are absolutely unacceptable and DO NOT reflect the thoughts of the very large majority of therapists. Wake up-you should be representing us.

This person does not represent the anti-racism and social justice ethics of the profession.

STOP BEING PART OF THE PROBLEM.

Enough already. No POC anywhere until just recently. Then this. We have 30 therapists. We will be leaving.
