A cursory google about the catharsis myth should do the trick. Not terribly invested in convincing you.

- jessaustin 10y agoThat's fine; you haven't. Googling "catharsis myth" turns up various (unscientific, opinionated) stuff about anger. Perhaps some CP fans are motivated by anger (toward children?), but to generalize from that to all the other motivations for CP is a non sequitur. I'm not normally the "citation needed" dickhead, but you started out by specifically claiming "studies are all fairly conclusive", which seemed like a unique situation for psychiatry so I thought maybe I could learn something... Freud being wrong about something only tangentially related (what are the chances?) isn't a valid justification for prior restraint. If the work in question hasn't been shown to harm, there would be very little reason to censor it in USA.
