Evidence-Based Practice
NEW: Monica Pignotti's PowerPoint Presentation to the International Cultic Studies Association (ICSA) on
Cults, Dissociation and Models of Helping and Recovery
This challenges turning issues people have while readjusting after leaving abusive, authoritarian groups, aka "Cults", into diagnoses when most people readjust very successfully without the assistance of the trauma industry
Watch The OCD Project, evidence-based practice in action on television! It's not just for research geeks, it's for real people. A refreshing change after all the woo we see on TV. This program features an evidence-based therapy for OCD called Exposure and Response Prevention, carried out in a group setting by Dr. David Tolin.
