Patita and Leigh may have a point
After my recent post about superstition and the American public, the ensuing discussion focused on psychiatry vs psychics and whether one was really any better than the other. Coincidentally, Newsweek this week ran an article by Sharon Begley citing new research that shows that therapy may actually be harmful in as many as 4 in 10 cases.
Worst outcomes seem to be for grief therapy, PTSD treatment, and treatment of dissociative-identity disorder (formerly called multiple-personality disorder). So maybe we are better off giving our money to Madame Rosa after all.
