    Please explain why deprivation is not a form of abuse?
    How do you know what the standard understanding of all professional psychologists is?

    Because deprivation can at times be good. Do you think it is good or abusive if a child is deprived of the right to drink alcohol for example?

    Ah okay, you're going to play childish word games rather than answer a simple question about deprivation in the context being discussed. (In relation to your time in the cult).

    I'm the one playing childish word games? You just dodged two straightforward questions.

    1. How do you know what the standard understanding of all professional psychologists is?

    2. Do you think it is good or abusive if a child is deprived of the right to drink alcohol for example? Yes or No?

    1. It's my profession.

    2. Irrelevant question. We were talking about deprivation in regards to your experiences in a cult (not of you being deprived of the right to drink alcohol).

    How about you just explain why deprivation, such as experienced in a cult, is not a form of abuse?

    Is it fair to say you were subjected to psychological abuse, but weren't adversely affected by it?

    I would say that his comment in reply to my pointed observation (both of which I quoted on page 50) indicates that - at least at that unguarded moment - he conceded that he has been adversely affected by the psychological abuse, in terms of both his intellectual and interpersonal behaviour.

    I think the overwhelming majority would share FMF's opinion.
