... List of best psychologists ... (philippines, life coach, counselor, psychotherapist, psychologist, psychiatrist)

Can't believe it but guess what!

I found myself listed on www.mytopdozen.com/Best_Psychologists.html as one of the most popular clinical psychologists in the news. The website is a "ranking list aggregator," and the ranking is based on the number of occurrences in web pages, news, pictures and people votes.

I was kind of surprised that there wasn't any other clinical psychologist listed from the Philippines or from Asia. I was even more surprised to find myself listed among the legendary greats in the field of psychology. Here is the complete list:

1. Michael White (family therapist; founder of narrative therapy)


2. William James (medical doctor; psychologist; philosopher; father of American psychology)


3. David Lewis (neuropsychologist; father of "neuro-marketing")


4. John R. Anderson (cognitive psychologist; developer of act-r theory of the mind)


5. Donald T. Campbell (experimental psychologist and methodologist; founder of evolutionary epistemology)


6. Daniel O. David (created the first school of rational-emotive therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy in Romania)


7. Randy Dellosa (yours truly)


8. Viktor Frankl (neurologist; psychiatrist; holocaust survivor; founder of logotherapy)


9. Erich Fromm (social psychologist; psychoanalyst; author; explored interaction between psychology and society)


10. Edwin Hutchins (cognitive psychologist; father of modern cognitive ethnography)


11. Mary Cover Jones (research psychologist; mother of behavior therapy; pioneer in the field of developmental psychology)


12. Elizabeth Loftus (psychologist; expert on human memory; extensive researcher on false memories)

Well, truth be told, I would rather be known as a wise and compassionate person than as a popular psychologist.

Of course, if popularity becomes a means for me to reach out to more people suffering from emotional pain, then that would serve my mission in life very well.
