Developmental psychologist J.D. Haltigan joins Stella O'Malley and Mia Hughes to expose how activist ideology has captured the field of psychology. From the collapse of scientific standards to the rise of “pathology normalization,” Haltigan reveals how political pressure is reshaping mental health — with serious consequences for vulnerable children.The conversation covers the feminisation of psychology, the erosion of diagnostic categories, and the disturbing effects of growing up online. Haltigan also shares how leaving academia opened the door to genuine intellectual freedom — and unexpected collaborations.
