So... snark aside, is there a name for this behavior? Mostly seen in amateur psychologists and bad professional ones? I'm thinking a term of art that captures an idea like "self-image preserving cognitions" or "growth-minimizing cognition"https://twitter.com/vgr/status/1268019134144499712 …

I'm very sensitive to this because I explicitly adopt this approach in working with sparring clients in my consulting, which is the opposite of therapy. The operating assumption is "you're ok, I'm ok, the problem is everybody else", which is often a good default for consulting.

Hmm... this is close, but I think an overlapping subset. Primary attribution error is about people vs. situations but doesn't speak to attribution biases among the people (to the extent people are actually the problem rather than the situation)https://twitter.com/enkiv2/status/1268248308969082885 …

Maintaining the false self

Is that a term of art or your phrase? Sounds more philosophical than psychological.

Narcissistic personality disorder “I take no responsibility”. Always the victim. Others need to change.

The general term for the sort of thing projection is, is "defense mechanism". The others are repression, denial, displacement and sublimation.

If you are consulting for a client and there is something you need to say to them but don't want to hurt their ego, defense mechanisms are the way to go.

TLP talks about this a lot (search "defense against change") but idk if he has a term for this exactly. you may also want to look up this thing called immunity-to-change mapping https://www.google.com/search?q=%22immunity-to-change+mapping%22 …

This is a special case of a broader problem (which also doesn't have a name): the more theories you know (not just psychological), the better you are at rationalising why others are the problem and you don't need to change anything
