A short video explaining what good analysis is.
00:00 - Start
00:55 - Analysis vs. Description
03:05 - The Sherlock Test
NOTE: In the UK, I am called a 'Critical Psychologist'. In Australia, which is where I presently live, the title 'psychologist' is a protected title used to denote psychologists who are registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA). I am not registered as a psychologist with AHPRA as I am not a qualified health practitioner - I am an academic and social activitist and I do not offer psychological services, I offer critical and political analysis to benefit those working to create progressive social change.

Short and sweet - and precise, thank you for taking the time to make these videos 🙏🏼

Short and sweet .... that reminds me of someone :) Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. I once worked with someone called Julie Rolskov. She was an amazingly smart, critical thinker who was an excellent researcher - ahead of her time. Sadly academia lost her as she went off to treat depressed horses by setting up the world's first equine-psychoanalysis clinic. Well, something like that. If you ever run into her, tell her I think she's fabulous!

This is wonderful - a glimpse of Dr Duckett doing his day job! I hope his real students count themselves lucky.

I've been so privileged to be taught by Dr Duckett, and I do consider myself very lucky 🤓

@@julierolskov2449 This is such a lovely response Julie. Thank you. Dr Duckett certainly comes over as a kind person as well as an excellent academic and teacher.

Ahhhh Julie. Thanks for saying that. ....[ now did we agree that I'd make the payment direct into you bank account for posting that comment, or should I drop it off in a brown envelope as usual]. Seriously though, it was my privilege to work with you. Good teachers are only made from, the trust of their students. Thanks for trusting me :) And, you were a brilliant student. One of the best I have ever worked with.

Thanks for the Semantic/Latent explanation. You hit the nail on the head on why I get frustrated with people calling themselves analysts. Also, just because you can create a chart or visual representation, doesn't make you an analyst.....no $**& Sherlock

Good video. Here in New Zealand we seem to have lots of people that do "policy advice" to government ministers etc. But it seems to be simply a collection of existing information with no "policy analysis". Its a skill that seems have died out slowly over the last 40 years. Its the variation of the sherlock issue and the result is poorer decision making.

@PaulDuckett 13 дней назад

Thanks so much. That sounds very familiar. I think a lot of advisors are like that - if you pay someone to advise a politician, they will often find a short cut that plays on the politicians' ignorance. :)

@jonm7272 10 дней назад

I would suggest though, that your choice of the phrase 'puppet master', a term generally understood to be perjorative, means that you have added your own negative slant to the original 'just a performance' phrase. OK, the words do, slightly, suggest a negative influence: 'just' a performance, but your 'puppet master' has very effectively reinforced this negative. You could equally read it positively, 'they' may very well be perceived positively, some 'good actors' trying to 'nudge' the public to a better understanding of climate change rather than 'puppet masters' manipulating people for their own ends.

Interesting. I think I get it, but seeing summarising (description) as a necessary, logical, stepping stone to analysis. I'm just throwing that out there as a general comment, more than a question demanding a direct answer, BTW.

@PaulDuckett 13 дней назад

Ohhh, that is a really good point. Yes, I see what you mean. Description is a logical stepping stone to analysis. Nice work :) p

So, it’s not ‘almost’ as if they were talking about a puppet master, it’s that they were pretty much exactly talking about a puppet master. Who else 'pulls the strings'? With respect, that’s a rather weak explanation of the difference you’re trying to describe. A better one might be, it’s as if what they’re really talking about is manipulation (or maybe virtue-signalling), or left/right political bias (conscious or unconscious), according to which medium is being referred to, or just plain-and-simple control, something it might be said we all try to exert through language.

@PaulDuckett 13 дней назад

That is a very fair point stephen and I do like your analysis. I think it is much deeper than mine. I think, in my defence, I was pitching my analysis at a level that people could pick up and make sense of - so it was really just a means to illustrate what latent looks like. I didn't want to dig too deep because I worried I would have made it harder for folk to see the connection I was making. But that said, I really loved you deep dig and the themes you picked out. Nice work :) p

@stephenpowers51 13 дней назад

@@PaulDuckett dear Paul, I appreciate your replies very much, and admire what you do, and that you put yourself out there. I’m no analyst, much more used to being an analysand, and I hope I don’t come across as a know-all. I’m just endlessly fascinated by the mystery of this ‘being human’ business. I think that’s because I’m not very good at it! Best wishes always, and thanks again for your work.

Nice video - much needed for students ....and for UK civil servants and ministers it seems. In your interesting attempts to link current affairs to psychological concepts, I just wonder whether you might consider providing a video on Erving Goffman's concept of 'framing'. It's been around a long time I know but, for me, it helps understand how PO, Fujitsu and civil servants 'framed' information for those above them (e.g. ministers) in their briefings and other reports. A lot of the time they provided information but framed it in such a way as to minimise Horizon problems and thus not only influenced but almost predetermined the decision the decision maker/minister would take. You can see that going on all the way up the information chain. Information 'framed' (i.e. packaged) in ways that reinforced a particular narrative.
