Maybe I shouldn't say 'pop psychology'...
Psych Central has a huge following, and it pi#ses me off to see at the end of just about every article written by a mental health practitioner-"medications or CBT can help you with this", "CBT is the best treatment for this issue" while they completely omit even a mention psychodynamic therapy.
If that were true, why do most mental health professionals choose to NOT engage in CBT therapies? Again, the recommended remedies are good for 'the masses'.
It prolongs illnesses and just masks the inner feelings that cause many of the symptoms, that end up re-emerging later. This is not healing-it directs patients to quick fixes.
...stepping down from soap box now.
