I think you are saying that we can't be sure that the author of the article kindly submitted here really knows what he is talking about. Diederik Stapel is a disgrace, http://retractionwatch.wordpress.com/2013/08/02/measure-by-measure-diederik-stapel-count-rises-again-to-54/ http://retractionwatch.wordpress.com/2013/08/02/measure-by-m... but he also hasn't had any influence on the clinical practice of psychiatry in the United States, the main topic of the article.

> I think you are saying that we can't be sure that the author of the article kindly submitted here really knows what he is talking about. That's true in all intellectual pursuits, and particularly true in science -- there are no truths, only evidence. > ... but he also hasn't had any influence on the clinical practice of psychiatry in the United States, the main topic of the article. He published in the same journals as U.S. researchers and therapists, working to the same standards (or lack thereof) and with the same contempt for science that is a hallmark of the field. It certainly does indict the entire field, or do you think Europe is located on a different planet? Since you seem to think Holland is located on an alien moon, here's a similar recent scandal involving a Harvard professor: http://chronicle.com/article/Marc-Hauser-Resigns-From/128296/ http://chronicle.com/article/Marc-Hauser-Resigns-From/128296... Quote: "Marc D. Hauser, the Harvard psychologist found responsible for eight counts of scientific misconduct by the university, has resigned ..." In scientific fields, such misbehavior isn't tolerated, and exposures of this kind end careers (example Jan Hendrik Schön, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sch%C3%B6n_scandal http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sch%C3%B6n_scandal). Hauser, on the other hand, is, in his own words, moving on, exploring "some exciting opportunities in the private sector" and that he had been involved in some "extremely interesting and rewarding work focusing on the educational needs of at-risk teenagers." So this public fraud, this person who holds science and professional responsibility in contempt, is going to be allowed to treat at-risk teenagers? Only in psychology.
