Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)

Lets talk.

The Wakefield Doctrine is a ‘theory of personality’ the same way that your grandmother or mother (or wife or husband) is a chef. What they can do is produce food that you and your family look forward to eating and of course, everyone enjoys and benefits from their efforts both as  food and (as) a social occasion. Not only that,  your husband or wife or boyfriend or grandmother uses most of the same tools and ingredients and equipment that Le Cordon Bleu chef will use. Both will work with food in a kitchen environment that is essentially the same  and (all) produce meals that are good and good for you, the only difference:

your grandmother will never be on television, your mom will never write a book that will be found in bookstores, your wife or your husband will never have a meal named after them (on the menu of a restaurant).

Who is the better cook?

Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine.

Do not think that we are apologizing for our grandmothers or our lack of empirical date (supporting this here theory of clarks, scotts and rogers, here). We are not. But just because the techniques and tricks and recipes of your “family chef” have certain limitations, does not preclude us  from being determined to try and rise above the confines of the ‘novelty blog’ category with the Wakefield Doctrine. Point in fact, it is the goal of all involved with this blogsite to take what we have learned about human personality and behavior and, with no small amount of chutzpah, put it in front of as many people as possible. Our very immodest intent is quite simply to get people to see the world through the lens of our little Doctrine. 

There is no “WHY?” question here. (The only possible answer would be, “Why not?”)  To take that approach would have the fault of being  un-necessarily modest. Our intent is, with all of the means available to us,  presenting/promoting/publicising/pushing the Wakefield Doctrine in order to have some effect on the world, if only 30 or 40 people worth. Maybe more than that, (perhaps 300 or 400) people will read about this thing and find the same usefulness that we do and these people will benefit from having come to this blog and learned about our ‘theory or personality’.
But hey,  everyone starts out as someone’s son/husband/brother/grandson/girlfriend/yeah,they used to live right down the street before they turned into a celebrity or an authority or a mover or a shaker (the Hollywood variety not the Pennsylvania type).
Take Martha Stewart (…”please”) she was someones mother at a point in time prior to becoming a valued NYSE listed commodity…might have been your mother, but probably not. She was Alexis’s mother

Be that as it may. Lets take a quick look at our “cookbook” so that  our more credential-dependent Readers can continue to enjoy this blog and still get something useful from your visit today.

clarks: quiet but always manage to get noticed, introspective but aggressive, creative and intellectual yet capable of blindingly stupid stubbornness when they believe they have an understanding of the situation;
scotts: free-spirited extroverts who feed on the discomfort of others, natural leaders who inspire confidence and will spring into action regardless of how ill-conceived the action or ill-prepared for the unexpected they might be;
rogers: precise and exact and they would have invented OCD (if it had not already existed), sociable, likable and prone to extreme prejudice, with the right tools they will build the infrastructure of the civilized world just so they will have people to pass judgement on

Thats a pretty basic set of ‘recipes’ or down-home culinary technique, isn’t it?
Don’t you think your grandmom had fun teaching your mother to cook on cold winter evenings? The food at your house? doesn’t it taste as good as the food you could learn to prepare by spending 5 years in a culinary school? No? You think the chef, by virtue of all their formal training  is better off? Well, here is a little look at their world

Question by ‘mysteryasker person: Need advice with psychology/counseling careers?
I have a passion for all types of psychology and counseling. I am most interested in family therapy. However my dream job is to be an equine assisted therapist, or practice hippotherapy with troubled teens and children and adults with autism and asperger’s. I do not want a job where I am smiply trying to decide what mental illness this person has. I want to work with people who don’t necessarily have a psychological disorder but instead need guidance or help with personal/emotional/family issues. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Is it better to pick a profession you’re passionate about or to go with whichever pays the most? I personally feel that if you’re passionate about you’re career youll go farther. Really need some help on this one. If anyone can give me a list of careers in the field I just described and the pay rate I’d really appreciate it! Thanks.

Best answer:
Answer by xxxx and her family (pf equally unqualified answer persons)
before becoming a good therapist, it is better to get your self evaluated by qualified psychologists.
check your IQ and EQ levels, attitude and aptitude tests and get your behaviour and mind fully analysed by psycho analysts and behaviour therapists.
then only you can choose whether to become a family counselor or clinical psychologist.
you can do a major in special education and get employment in schools for mentally challenged people.

(Dr. xxx’s un-related advice):

Well Kim, you are in one of the most unfortunate positions a person can be in in terms of family or friends. Many of us have gone through a situation where a friend or loved one seems to choose someone who is probably not that great a match. There can be many reasons why people choose to pair up with someone who might be detrimental to their life or their other relationships, but it is rare when someone is able to intervene and help that person make a meaningful change in their life. You usually have to ask yourself a couple of questions, such as “what is my sister getting out of this relationship, and why does she stay in it?” I recently read an article about research being done by John Farra at Central Michigan University that lists six possible reasons why women in particular choose poorly in relationships, and these are:

1. Low Self-Concept or Self-Esteem
2. The Need to Nurture
3. Excitement
4. The Need to be Nurtured
5. Wanting to Control
6. Chemistry

Now these six apply more specifically to why women choose “bad boys”, but could probably apply more generally to why people make their choices in relationships in general. Once people better understand the motivations behind their relationship choices, they can often more readily act in a more healthy manner in the relationship. Of course, the biggest issue here is whether your sister sees her future husband’s alcoholism as a problem, or if she even defines it as such. The question I would have more specifically for you is how are you defining the term BLAH BLAH Frickin shut up BLAH (I added that last part, ed.)
