The empirically-supported treatment debate in psychology makes the New York Times this week:
"They have been called assassins and parasites. They receive hate mail from the proponents of a variety of popular psychotherapies. The president-elect of the American Psychological Association has accused them of being overly devoted to the scientific method.
"But the ire of their colleagues has not prevented a small, loosely organized band of academic psychologists from rooting out and publicly debunking mental health practices that they view as faddish, unproved or in some cases potentially harmful."
By the way, these are the same psychologists who have called for a moratorium on the Rorschach, even suggesting its use is unethical.
