How about wacko psychotherapies? If someone who is an expert in this area (like Scott Lilienfeld) went in and put a notice in some of the real crap therapies, that they are crap, I wonder how long it would take to fix them? compare the entries on crystals therapy, which opens with a skeptical disclaimer, to the one on eye movement desensitization and reprocessing where only an exxtremely weak disclaimer is made and ditto for the VERY weak nature of the disclaimer for facilitated communication! It would be an interesting 'study' to go in and add strong statements with data as to the ineffectiveness of these 'therapies' and see how long it takes to revert back! Anyone game?
