@CheerBear, I'm happy to look at anything that suggests it will definitely cure people, but I'm wary when the answer is vagueness and top-level control and does not target the cause in any way.

One of the new things is online CBT/DBT. I did one on social anxiety and it was 99% description, phone numbers, and happy-pill promotion, 1% cause finding. It should be reversed.

There were people in the 70's that actually went around giving people labotomies, by putting a sterilised pick in the corner of their eye and digging away at their brain. It ruined their cognitive ability, the ability to stand up for themselves properly, get things done in their life etc. Now there are pills that do the same thing, and fear & pain can also do the same thing. Not everyone out there who writes material, even if it's well funded or has a big name on it, is automatically going to mean well. If it doesn't target cause, it's useless and dangerous to people who actually need help. And the person should go to jail for preying on the vulnerable.
