Hi

Might also be relevant to how sensationalized news stories can lead to marked 
misunderstandings about tools used in clinical and scientific settings ... the 
plethysmograph in this case.  Here's a link to CBC report and multiple 
comments, the vast majority of which condemn the practice and its proponents, 
and in some cases the entire discipline of psychology.

The story appears to have surfaced initially because of published research.

Take care
