clerical psychologist 

A term that darkly mocks what clinical psychology has become in this data-heavy, lawsuit-driven world which often values documentation of treatment more than the treatment itself.
I feel like I should be called a “clerical psychologist” because the time needed to appropriately document the clinical contact, required by the state, can eat up the entire hour, leaving me with no time to interact with the patient!

Psychological Video 

The opposite of a realistic ghost video.

Guy #1: Omg this video is so creepy, I would've moved out of that house if I were them!

Guy #2: That's not a ghost, it just a Psychological Video.
Guy #1: Well then nice editing. I guess I'm gonna have nightmares now.

psychologically smart 

An adjective used to recognize intellectual feats of strength of particular individuals who have acquired the big brain.
Smart Friend: "They are simply using their victim card to garner sympathy from everyone else. Although this is a common manipulation tactic perpetrated in online communities that doesn't mean we have to sit idly by while our fellow man fall victim to these sea witches."
You: "Wow you're psychologically smart aren't you?"

armchair psychologist 

A person who gives advice for mental disorders, emotional disorders, or any other mental illness and has no known background knowledge of psychology. More than just advice with no clinical know how.
Some dude gave me advice on eating disorders at Mac D's and claimed that the food additives had addictive properties creating a mental cycle of "food abuse". I asked if he was some kind of armchair psychologist or a something, grabbed my number one with cheese and bounced. Fucker was right or was he?

psychological nudity 

A state of mental and emotional honesty. When all pretense, prejudice, expectations, bravado, etc. are removed, and all that is left is the bare mind. Pure thought (not necessarily pure as in good) is more readily accomplished when one is psychologically nude. Note that psychological nudity has nothing to do with the amount of clothing one is (or is not) wearing; it is a mental state.
After half an hour of chipping away at my preconceived ideas, I could finally see what she was talking about. Fully clothed, I experienced psychological nudity.
