How should rationalists do therapy?
As a community, we should have resources to help people who might otherwise be helped by clerics, quacks, or psychics. We should certainly cover things like minor depression and grief at the death of a loved one.
Should we just look at what therapies have the best outcome for various situations and recommend those?
Should we use what we know about cognition to suggest new therapies? Should we make a "Grief Sequence"?
Both idea sound good. Any analysis and commentary or recommendations would be useful for people, I'm sure.
