I am teaching the unit on psychotherapy next week and wanted to alert
students to questionnable approaches to therapy that lack empirical

I have a short list but wanted to expand it.
My short list so far includes crystals therapies, regression therapies
and EMDR.
One of my favourites: Swimming-with-dolphins therapy (aka "dolphin-
assisted therapy"), even if it has a porpoise.
See the deconstruction of this so-called therapy by our old friend, Scott
Lilienfeld

data, flawed conclusions." Anthrozoos, 11(4), 194-200.
(and see also Lilienfeld's 2007 article "Psychological treatments that
cause harm" in _Perspectives on Psychological Science_)
Also, don't forget "Brain gym" recently discussed here on TIPS.

thinking? Remedial and special education, 28, 117--.
