by Michael D. Anestis, Ph.D.

Head on over to Psychology Today to read PBB guest author Bob Leahy's fantastic point-by-point rebuttal of a truly bizarre rant by a psychoanalytic therapist (click here for the article).  I hope to have time in the coming months to put PBB back on my radar, but in the meantime, it's great to see brilliant leaders in the field fighting the good fight for science and the prioritizing of the health of our patients over the intellectual fulfillment of therapists who cling to dogmas lacking empirical support.
