Carlos from Are the 12 Steps of Alcoholic Anonymous consider S

I think that we need to start educating patients, consumers about quackery in the profession. Psychologists and clinicians that have no idea how to differanciate between a good and bad reliable and valid research studies. Hit them in their pocket books.

Carlos from Are the 12 Steps of Alcoholic Anonymous consider S

Are the 12 Steps of Alcoholic Anonymous consider pseudoscience and how can I make scientic logic to make this points. I do know that often the use many psychological terms to explain their theory. For example, while the APA DSM systems says that Denial Defense mechanism is a rear condtion. The 12 Steppers say that their Disease is a Disease of Denial, and I think they call any thing denail that they do not agree with.
