A Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Measure - New York Times
A Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Measure - New York Times: "If psychotherapy has anything to offer -- and this should always be in question -- it should be something aside from the dominant trends in the culture. And this means now that its practitioners should not be committed either to making money or to trivializing the past or to finding a science of the soul."
Apparently psychotherapy is being severely contested. It's been interesting seeing a spate of popular coverage on current trends that seem to be splitting into various different directions. This NYT article is certainly worth a read.

what's interesting is that the post 9/11 studies seem to indicate that psychotherapy for post trauma cases may be harmful because it makes people relive their experiences. This is also from the NY times, not the actual study.

But then what is a traumatized person supposed to do if he or she is having problems? Try really hard not to think about it? Any idea?
