This book shows how scientific and psychotherapeutic practices change into worthless rituals called by the famous physicist, Richard Feynman, “cargo cult.” It is a must-read for everybody who is interested in psychology, who is studying or intends to study it, but also for present and potential clients of psychotherapists and parents of mentally-disabled children. Readers will learn which parts of psychology and therapy are cargo-cult-like and which are reliable. This book is the second part of trilogy devoted to the dark side of psychology.
