Psychology Led Astray: Cargo Cult in Science and Therapy - Paperback

by Tomasz Witkowski (Author)

This book shows how scientific and psychotherapeutic practices change into worthless rituals called by the famous physicist, Richard Feynman, "cargo cult." It is a must-read for everybody who is interested in psychology, who is studying or intends to study it, but also for present and potential clients of psychotherapists and parents of mentally-disabled children. Readers will learn which parts of psychology and therapy are cargo-cult-like and which are reliable. This book is the second part of trilogy devoted to the dark side of psychology. The first volume was published under the title "Psychology Gone Wrong: The Dark Sides of Science and Therapy", also released by BrownWalker Press.
