Psychotherapy seems to work pretty well, and it's not obvious that psychodynamic psychotherapy works less well than other sorts. See http://slatestarcodex.com/2013/09/19/scientific-freud/ . I prefer things more in the CBT vein myself, but the pro-psychodynamics people aren't as helpless and discredited as one might think.
Thanks. Another myth, huh. This one is widespread even amongst medical professionals. Now I wonder what other myths I've accepted without questioning. If your blog contains more debunking of medical debunking, some pointers would be nice.
This OB article you linked to seems like a useful generalized explanation for why these kinds of myths happen. I agree many doctors seem to make that mistake, which is concerning because this is a really stupid one.
