How strong is the evidence in favor of psychological treatment really?
I think the evidence shows that it works for some people, doesn't work for other people, and the spectrum of outcomes stretches all the way from "miraculously fixed everything" to "made everything worse" :-/
Oh, and "some people" and "other people" refers not just to the person being treated, but to a patient/psychotherapist pair. It is fairly common for people to have no success with a chain of therapists until they find "the one" who clicks and can effectively help with whatever the problem is.
Sorry, but there is really no answer to the question as posed.
So continue burning through therapists in the hope of being understood. Is there any shred of evidence that I should try psychoanalytic treatment again? From my impression the effect of it is similar to homeopathic treatment.
Sorry, but there is really no answer to the question as posed.
How can I restate it to get a more answerable question?
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
