House of Cards : Psychology and Psychotherapy Built on Myth
House of Cards Psychology and Psychotherapy Built on Myth Author:Robyn M. Dawes "Robyn Dawes has skillfully and disturbingly revealed the clay feet of some of psychotherapy's deepest 'truths'. In doing so, Dawes has created a giant of a book — giant in its vision, giant in its accomplishments, giant in its implications.” — — Elizabeth Loftus, Professor of Psychology,... more » University of Washington; Author, Witness for the Defense
“Dawes has, indeed, let the cat out of the bag. This book speaks for all of us who have watched in distress as the profession of psychology ran roughshod over the science of psychology. This is a powerful book that draws on the science of psychology to help us understand our gullibility to the profession of psychology.”
— Marilyn Brewer, Former member of the Board of Directors of the American Psychological Association; A President of The American Psychological Society
“For generations, voices crying in the wilderness have urged a close, critical, and continuing examination of the research and scholarly underpinnings of psychotherapy. Dawes adds his voice to this chorus of concern suggesting that many of our commonly held ‘myths’ within psychology have little or no supporting data and/or scientific justification. This book is a wake-up call to psychologists and psychotherapists to be more responsible practitioners.”
