I think its possible to start a project looking at fallacies and poor reasoning in psychobabble. I wanted to do that in a book but its on hold for now. We could do it as a forum, taking one paper at a time, starting a debate on that one specific aspect of the paper. Psychiatry is vulnerable to this to some extent, but psychogenic psychiatry is completely dependent on fallacious thinking.
I'm not able to take part of such a huge project, but I think it would be interesting to create a kind of list or database of important articles that contradicts the whole BPS model, like say that paper by White that demonstrate that kinesophobia is not the cause of "CFS", or articles showing that AD are not effective.
It would not be that place of debate that @alex3619 evoques, but a simple list where you can easily find the tools you need.
My brain fog prevents me from concentrating deeper today so I can't search for now any references, but what do you think?
