Do I want to, though? Do I really WANT to?

I tell myself I should read BPS school stuff, to point and laugh at the bad methodology and screwy conclusions if nothing else. But how many times do I have to read something that boils down to "patients are responsible for their own suffering; kick them off cliffs" before I accept that there is no value here?

Thanks for bringing stuff like this to other's attention.

Have you tried writing up some of your concerns for letters to the journals? Might not be worth the trouble, or could be useful?
