Science and Pseudoscience in Clinical Psychology

• Miracle Cures, Health Quackery

What could be a richer field for quackery than the soft 'science' os psychology?

Brandon A. Gaudiano's review of Scott O. Lilienfeld's Science and Pseudoscience in Clinical Psychology

Unfortunately, TFT is only one of a long and growing list of therapies currently being marketed to a public in search of quick relief from mental health problems and possessing little empirical support of safety or efficacy. The list of questionable treatments is becoming quite long indeed: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Critical Incident Stress Debriefing, Rebirthing Therapy, Emotion Freedom Techniques, Be Set Free Fast, Touch and Breathe, Neurolinguistic Programming, Auditory Integration Training, Dolphin-Assisted Therapy, Facilitated Communication, Past Life Therapy, Recovered Memory Therapy, and Alien Abduction Therapy, just to name a few.

WEAK IN THE KNEEZ!! D'ja think Jung sounded like science the first time dude spoke up? Psych! This book talks sh*t about quackery like the Rorshach inkblot test and the diagnosis of multiple personality disorder? GIMME A BRIZZEAK! They even fess up that the book's about the "gulf between scientists & practitioners" - aka the map we've made vs. the real deal. Step into the real, sukkas! If this wuz medicine, y'all'd be pissed at aspirin for not curing cancer. LftHndPthNThHsSy: YEAH!

How do you feel?

Feel free to share your feelings about Science and Pseudoscience in Clinical Psychology. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted. This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
Richard
