Description:
Most schools of therapy have contributed to our understanding and treatment of emotional distress. However, most function like competing cults, claiming to have the best answers and techniques. Dr. Burns argues that it’s time to leave the schools of therapy behind so we can develop a true, data-driven science of psychotherapy.
