Science and Pseudoscience in Clinical Psychology

Book of the Day: Science and Pseudoscience in Clinical Psychology, edited by Steven Jay Lynn, Scott O. Lilienfeld, and Jeffrey M. Lohr. Publisher: Guilford Press.

If there is any scientific field where pseudoscience is not only common, but has actually become widely accepted by the establishment, it would have to be psychology. Unlike fields such as physics or biology, some of the most ridiculous quackery has taken hold in clinical psychology and has even reached the point where for many lay people, they see more of the quackery than of real science.
