More on Satanic Ritual Abuse From 1993 Prime Time One psychiatrist mentions that it is big business but that he also thinks some therapists seem to think that they are on some kind of crusade. Dr. Corydon Hammond, who lectures other therapists on this supposed phenomenon, when questioned...

On Satanic Ritual Abuse This is a great video on "true believers" who train therapists. How on earth did professionals buy into this nonsense? Mind you, I can see how they bought into the idea that ME was mass hysteria if they believed this nonsense. Sometimes when you hear discussions of the...

He seems to prefer imprecision medicine for ME patients :cautious:

A few more. Panic over crack-babies exaggerated (I know this was probably more pediatrics and neurology and not psychiatry but thought I would include it as it fits the mould) Shaken-baby-syndrome (this might be a genuine disorder, but it looks like it was over-diagnosed at one point at least)

I have truly fallen down the rabbit hole of crazy watching these documentaries (soon I will be recollecting that I was abducted by aliens and inducted into their satanic cult :alien:, in a past life of course. I am sure I will also falsely accuse some of you of being the killers of bambi's...

Physical health might look simpler because sometimes people who know what they are doing can make something look simple even if it is not, and of course they talk more sense in physical health so "easier" to understand in a way.

Yes i agree. Don't we all know ME is at the interface of psychaitry and biomedical medicine :wtf:

One thing that stood out from watching these is that the patient acts out the diagnosis, even when it is clearly incorrect, even when the patient initially knew that.

I wasn't sure where to post this. I thought it might be useful to have a thread regarding other psychological/psychiatric theories and treatments which turned out to be harmful. Some of these were fairly common until recently. These might be useful examples of how a profession can go wildly...

I think it is over now

:grumpy:

Hi @Valentijn Could you group these quotes in sections with headers so that they are easier to find when looking for something relevant? Eg. Some comments will be about secondary illness gain, some about deconditioning, some about not running tests on patients and so on. Great compilation.

Just a reminder, a few more days to go. You can vote daily. I don't actually know how they are doing.

Vote to get money for Simmaron Research foundation (free and easy) Hi everyone, this came up on my Facebook. I don't know how long it is going to go on for. It involves daily voting, but any votes would be good. It is very easy. You just click on the link below, then after a few seconds a box...

Oh man, similar from the UK. Shows the important of double checking positive results with another lab (see below) Police review 10,000 cases in forensics data 'manipulation' inquiry Police investigate alleged manipulation at Manchester lab in mass recall of samples from criminal cases in...

This is a very interesting recent documentary about how faulty drug testing methodology resulted in children being taken from parents in Canada. As far as I can remember from the documentary this testing was also used in the US but is no longer now, once the errors were discovered. It is just...

I missed it as I couldn't figure out how to see it. I hadn't thought to check in here. Hopefully it will end up on the internet somewhere.

You will pay does not sound at all like a threat when that quote is put in context. It sounds like they mean these people will pay with their careers, reputations and possibly in court. Personally I think the BPS school won't ever pay for what they have done to us as they are the...

Does anyone know anyone who has done this course? What did they think? http://tinyurl.com/yc5y8a65 I might do it to see what it is like, as it might be useful to offer to nurses and medical people if they have an interest in learning more. It is very cheap, at 50 dollars, and if it was good...
