Does therapy help some people. It sure does.
Recall, the "reproducibility crisis" came to everyone's attention because of how bad the papers from these two camps were. Nothing really changed, no one got fired, and the situation, seems to have not only not improved but the quality has gone DOWN.
Maybe the law should be they have to wear the hats till they un fuck the last 30 years of publishing...

- serpix 3y agomost people are just a few words away from a psychosis or a complete breakdown. Edit: to illustrate. Your phone rings. You hear the words. You know which words, the unthinkable ones.
- Filligree 3y agoI honestly don’t. Is there anything you want to tell us?
- rudasn 3y agoProd is down
- pineaux 3y agoCome on. Anything bad. The phone rings, your family just got crushed by a runaway truck. The phone rings, the company you founded and spend every waking hour of the last four years has a hostile take-over. They are firing you and you find out that the structure of the shares is in such a way that you walk away with peanuts. The phone rings, your mother is in de hospital, she will probably die before next dawn. You are six thousand miles away. You know, the gnarly stuff of life.
- cameronh90 3y agoI’ve had a call similar to the first one before. It felt like Mike Tyson had punched me in the head - but it didn’t cause a psychotic break.
- Filligree 3y agoAll of those would be bad, but "psychotic break" bad? C'mon.

- pineaux 3y ago@filigree: Depends on your disposition. I mean, you are probably a very stable genius at the moment, but not everybody is and you might not be that for ever. Things can change. If your endocrine system gets a hit somewhere and you get hit by this kind of news. You probably will go into a bad place. I know someone who was severely dehydrated from a viral infection, got into a delirium, then had to recover for 6 years, and still is not the same now.
- FeepingCreature 3y agoEh, I'd deal.
- corinroyal 3y agoOMFG, people! Therapy isn't pseudoscience. There is a shitload of evidence that it works. You don't get to wave around the reproducibility crisis like it's a magic wand to make things that scare you go away. Now show me on the doll where therapy hurt you.
- coldtea 3y ago>There is a shitload of evidence that it works. As "verified" not by hard measurements (like in Physics), proofs (as in math), or specific clinical results (e.g. blood panels in medicine) but with questionaires and "assessments" by the very people whose continued existance and esteem of the field their careers are based on? "All kinds of evidence that it works" was there for Freudian psychanalysis too.
- tokai 3y ago>All kinds of evidence that it works was there for Freudian psychanalysis too. Not really, which is why it is all but gone from university psychology research.
- coldtea 3y agoIt's gone because it went out of fashion. The psychanalysis institutes at the time had all kinds of papers and results of their huge success...
- piva00 3y agoThat's true for most science though, biology had the same issues earlier in the 1800s-1900s until the field matured. It doesn't mean that all biology from that time was pseudoscience, it was wrong but paved the way to find the right answers. Psychology has its successes, empirically proven by getting results in clinical settings, we don't have deep answers on why some of it works or not but working known pharmaceutical compounds also suffer from that, we know they work but we don't know how (some NSAIDs come to mind, psychiatric meds, anesthesia as well).
- beepbooptheory 3y ago"I know you hear those voices, but unfortunately I have no way of corroborating whether the voices are actually a problem or not. Would you like this pamphlet on how physics understands your brain?"
- pk-protect-ai 3y agoI would say they need to "unfuck" more than 100 years of pseudo science ...
