POV

The reviews section reads like promotional material. They are also excessively wordy. Why is it important to have in this article statements saying people should buy this book? We are not trying to sell it. If we are going to have reviews, I would like to see some that address the substance of the arguments in the book, not just a thumbs up or down on the book in its entirety. It is also important to maintain NPOV to include critical reviews, and to provide context about why those reviews are notable.

It may also be that it's more appropriate to mention arguments made in this book in articles about therapy, than it is to just have an article touting the book itself. -- Beland 00:14, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Yes I agree Beland. I will add more substance to the article. Docleaf

Really?

"Crazy Therapies is one of a few books by evidence-based practitioners that has attempted to expose pseudoscience and quackery within the psychotherapy field"

Really? I thought there were quite a few e.g. Freud and Jung have been accused many times of quackery and non-evidence based medicine in many books.

As for the title - is "crazy" really an appropriate term for a book aimed at patients? Very insensitive. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.146.53.202 (talk) 12:33, 1 July 2018 (UTC)
