Scott’s thesis: Each of the therapy books on their own can be convincing. But they should be taken in the context of All Therapy Books, which as a category are pretty worrying.
Dodo Bird Verdict
: All psychotherapies are about equally good, and the only things that matters are “nonspecific factors” like how much patients like their therapist.
