This is my problem really. Everyone from Freud to the CBT people to whoever made points that very well might have validity but due to the nature of the subject matter it's extremely hard to know much of anything with certainty, so people should be cautious about asserting their theories as more than possibilities, or shooting down other people's theories based usually on just disliking them for personal reasons.

People should be that way about science in general, and they aren't, but it is especially egregious when dealing with psychology.

Because its difficult to apply to the individual. It's all about normalcy in the modern age and deviations from it. It's interesting to get information about how the average human works from their studies, but when it narrows down to the individual the only thing it really can do is either teach you to habituate an act or thought process back to normalcy or prescribe medication to get your brain chemicals back to normal.

Also people who think it's useless suffer from too much individual ideology and can't be expected to understand things from another person's perspective or that anything can possibly be different from what they experience.

Why do you keep reposting the same thread? You've had your answer. Like I said the first time, before the thead was deleted: your criticism, if not merely bait, shows your naivete, and as you continue in scholarly pursuits you will realize that all human intellectual endeavor in all disciplines is ultimately futile. And as I said the second time you reposted this thread, without you ever making any actual retort:
>Neuroscience is boring. It never actually gets at anything more substantial or interesting than trivial factoids like "neurons in the corpus callosum usually carry X mitochondria." The clinically applied neuroscience research, while actually useful, typically operates on woefully incomplete understandings; we're really just doing what seems to work, and most medications operate by this principle, crude bricks that we smash atypical brains with to make them behave and maybe be happy. Neuroscience isn't the Holy Grail you think it is and if you had ever read the slightest smattering about the subject you would be aware of this. It is necessary for there to be a synthesis of raw biological data and conscious experience, or the domain of philosophy, and psychology is that synthesis, and it has its failings, but so does everything else. Nobody ever complains about economics being witchdoctory even though by comparison to economics, psychology is as obvious and straightforward and rigorous and "scientific" as chemistry. The hate on psychology is largely a meme, articulations of which rarely come paired with either a critical understanding of the field, a critical understanding of related fields, a critical understanding of basic epistemological obstacles, or a critical understanding of how science is done. The funniest thing is that loathing of contemporary psychology is almost always almost immediately followed up by thoughtlessly and hypocritically unscientific opinion-shilling, that A, B, and C are obvious truths about the human condition, when the entire problem with psychology is that it addresses some of the most complex and difficult questions there are, and just defaulting to old opinions without more seriously evaluating them is disingenuous and stupid.

Rigorous psychotherapeutic practice requires an understanding of how research is done and what research implies about how practice should be done. Although master's level psychotherapists are not unusual, they typically work with economically unprioritized populations, like college students or the poor, and rapidly forget their educations beyond what they personally feel "works best." Psychiatrists are just as out of touch but in the opposite direction: they are overspecialized as prescribers and no longer have any idea how to have a conversation about pain or joy. The PhD level clinical psychologist is the actual psychotherapeutic expert of today, expertise in psychotherapy admittedly being limited.

Embarrassing. Psychology in this day and age is moreso a science than the vague set of philosophical beliefs about humanity that it was born out of. Try taking a physiological or cognitive psych course sometime, or even a course on psychopathology and development.

I did an MHC masters but did my undergrad in linguistics and anthropology. But I ended up having to go back to school for psych prereqs. You should know though that no respected psychologist or therapist or counselor, at least where I am located, believes in any more than a fraction of what Freud and Jung spouted. Even modern day psychodynamic practitioners cringe at those two. The field these days is very behavioral, as in CBT and DBT, mindfulness, and other empirically supported modalities.

All psychology research, or at least the good studies published, are aware of their sample demographics and what those cultural implications might suggest at a broader scale. You'll often see points like that made in the limitations sections of research. So I suppose the limitation is always present, but it should be recognized and mentioned in a published study, and if it isn't then that says something about the quality of the journal the research was published in.

>>13286375
Honestly an MHC program or LCSW is probably the way to go if you only want a masters but still want to treat depression and anxiety. MHC would be more geared towards counseling of course- and since its more focused on treatment rather than research it ends up being a lot more practical and less psuedoscience than a PhD program actually.

If you have an MHC degree people assume you are going to be using something most likely short term and goal oriented, which means you will be using evidence based treatments such as CBT or DBT or something with actual research supporting it. Its rare to see the more loosey goosey pseudoscience modalities like psychodynamic or gestalt in an MHC program than in a PhD program. At least in my state (NY). Things might be different in other parts of the country.

Short answer is no.
The whole point of the MHC program and, to a lesser extent, the LCSW degree, is for those who want to treat clients with mental disorders without spending years on research. If thats your goal, then forget the PhD.

The benefit of the PhD though besides research is you have more power as an advocate and also better teaching possibilities for college level education, and also a bit more perceived expertise. "Perceived" being the keyword there though.

IO psychologists primarily work in the private sector and the government. A number of specialized fields (e.g. personality psych, cognitive psych) allow for the opportunity to be hired as a consultant. I don't remember the pretentious title, but I know a number of cognitive psychologists that, essentially, were hired to ensure that individuals, guided by the instructions provided, could use the products of the company.

While there are meme fields within psychology that are susceptible to whatever feel-good bullshit comes along (e.g. educational psych, most things regarding gender/sex that are studied psychologically outside of an evolutionary context), the majority of it is a
young, scientific field with, due to its statistical mastery and methodological rigor, sizable potential to grow.

The thing is that reading on behavioral psych isn't really philosophy in the sense that Freud and Jung might be, so its not exactly interesting to read. Nor is it the entertaining "pop psych" you see that sells in bookstores. Its more actual clinical instruction manuals like Beck's manual on treating depression, or a CBT intro book like Doing CBT.

I disagree with you but you raise a curious point. What exactly is a "placebo" when it comes to psychotherapy? All therapeutic success is technically in the mind, and so if a client feels and thinks better because they think they should, technically that result would be indistinguishable from if a client feels and thinks better because the particular tx in question actually worked.
Measuring mechanisms of change in treatment, even with the use of mediation analysis, can still be pretty tricky to be honest. But the fact still remains that people in treatment do tend to get better. How that happens might not be as clear as some experts say, but therapy does work more often than it fails.

I don't think you understood my actual question, and you don't seem to have an actual answer either. Let me restate it so the question becomes clearer to you.

In psychopharmaceutical research examining the effects of a drug, a placebo suggests that the effects observed, the results of the experiment, are not due to the actual drug but is instead a result of the subject's change in mind and perception. They think they took something that works, and so they feel better.

Yet in psychotherapy all results are measured in feelings, and the tx is essentially dealing with intangible things like cognition and emotion. Does the client feel better? Did they measure a lower score on a particular scale for depression or anxiety? If yes, the tx worked. But HOW did it work? Was it due to the actual particular qualities of the tx plan administered, or was it simply because being in therapy made the client feel like they should get better, so they did?

My point is both of these outcomes are the exact same when observed. In both scenarios the client got better. So in psychotherapy a true placebo does not really exists in the same way that it does in medical research. Only with more studies using mediation analysis looking at mechanisms of change in certain tx modalities can this become clearer.

the replication crisis is a fucking meme
>>13287003
He didn't do a good job of explaining why, but, from the meta analysis that spurned this crisis, a majority of the failed replications can be explained due to differences in methodology.

There's also problems with the definition of replication the analysis used. If we're doing statistics using frequentist methods, which are the tradition methods of data analysis within psychology, than the probability of achieving a significant result decreases with every significant result achieved. Also, just because a result does not achieve significance or display the same effect of the previous study does not mean that there was a failure in the replication. Rather, if it shows the same trend as the original results, then it's likely that the results differed in significance and effect due to differences in the sample. However, the same trend is still there.

When replications provide an opposite trend, questions should be asked about possible individual differences that would give rise to this heterogeneity of results. The research regarding the relationship between worry and autonomic arousal is a great example of this.

Borkovec formulated a model of worry based on results suggesting that worry was linked to lower AA. This model asserts that GAD individuals engage in pathological worry, which causes the individual great discomfort, and believe that worry is useful because such worry is negatively reinforcing in that serves to avoid heightened arousal.

Newman, working off data that suggested heightened AA was linked to worry in GAD, posited the contrast avoidance. This model states that GAD individuals worry in order to put themselves on constant red alert. This constant red alert prevents from experiencing a negative contrast, which is perceived to have catastrophic consequences if it occurs. They use worry to prepare for and expect the worst in any given situation. If the worst doesn't happen, it's attributed to luck, and, if it does happen, the behavior is reinforced.

Vacey, noticing the heterogeneity of results, from which these two groups of researchers articulated models upon, designed a study, which netted results that suggest effortful control could moderate the relationship between worry and AA.

Hope this helps, the replication crisis isn't taken seriously inside the sciences for good reason, and not because of arrogance.

its not useless. its totally useful, and that is the problem. psychiatry/psychology acts as if depression is something bad because life should be happy and comfortable and comforting, and at the same time they fervently think that is not a philosophical assumption. then you can see the kind of "intelligenstia" we have here.... of course they talk thousand things about why depression is a disease and is not a moral or ethical assumption and blah blah blah...
they are part of the intellectual power of today (science..:). so they dont think they have to put too much effort in explaining themselves from an ethical or philosophical side. science have the intellectual power of this day, and psychology/psychiatry is the thing, in power, who gonna say what exactly is the mind. and they are trying it, they are trying it with all their hearts.
obviously, tomorrow, the paradigm of knowledge will be another, and again we will gonna have people saying what is the mind ( consciousness). and the wheel keep rolling as always roll.
they are just a theory. its a shame they work with the judicial system hand in hand. but is only a consequence of they like part of the "truth system" of today. besides that, people are stupid, people believe whatever nonsense theory they throw (and will throw) at them. go to a psych, go to a priest, go to a fucking buddhist counsellor, go to the woods to "found yourself", they are all the same shit.

When doing head-to-head clinical trials with therapy, often the therapy being tested is pitted against treatment-as-usual and a wait-list conditions (to control for the passage of time). There are quasi-placebo therapies for individual contexts, but no general-placebo-like therapy.

There is also a good amount of debate regarding whether it's the specific or general aspects of therapy that are conducive to treatment. We can test whether or not the specific elements of a therapy are working by giving participants little pieces of therapy.

For example, and if I can find the paper I'll cite it, exposure and response prevention (ERP), which is used to treat OCD, was tested in a controlled study of patients with OCD.

Those patients who voluntarily exposed themselves to that which evokes compulsions, but were allowed to engage in compulsions (i.e. the E without the RP) became more courageous in confronting that which evokes compulsions. Those who did not participate in exposures, but, when exposed to that which evokes compulsions, were not allowed to engage in compulsions became better at, well, not engaging in self-destructive, compulsive behavior.

In the context of ERP, this research does suggest that the specific elements of therapy, rather than the expectations of adaptive change that therapy is supposed to produce or the therapist-patient relationship, produced such effects, as the specific elements had the different effects that they were intended to have.

The science of psychology tackles what it can know, and leaves what it cannot know to metaphysics, philosophy, etc. That's what a science does, tackles what it can measure. You're a fucking idiot if you think uncertainty should necessitate the paralyzation of scientific progress. Scientists didn't need absolute knowledge to get a hunk of metal to the moon, they needed sufficient knowledge, and that endeavor or exercise yielded them more knowledge.

That's what we're doing, formulating models of human experience on sufficient, validated knowledge, testing them in various exercises, and then incorporating the new knowledge garnered into that model. Unfortunately, since we're such a fucking new discipline, the new often undermines the old.

Philosophical presuppositions always underlie such research, but, unless we can sort between those presuppositions empirically, we don't fucking sort. It's not the job of scientists to do such a thing.

People go to a psychologist, like they go to Protagoras, because the psychologist gives them the tools to adaptively set goals and move towards them. We don't have truths, we have tools. We engage in cybernetics, not in conversations regarding epistemology or metaphysics.

The justice system puts faith in psychology because their tools are the best heuristics we have. These heuristics, such as the data regarding the unreliability of eyewitness testimony and suggestibility of children, can inform decisions so that better ones can be made in the active world. Everything is an updating heuristic, which may or may not inform action in the world.

No one does that in serious disciplines. Even in the 17th century attempts to 'understand' the laws of scaterring of moving bodies were considered a side curiosity.

Interestingly, at least at my university, more people go into the industrial and organization program than into clinical psychology. I think it's a total meme, though, and it will die out very soon once employers realize that O/I psychologists really don't have that much to offer. I did a content analysis for an O/I psychologist once who worked for a nursery home, and all she did was asking the employees how they felt about their job. They all said it sucked and her "solution" was telling the people who run the nursery home to employ more staff and that was it

if you go this far only to deny science have the social legimitization of truth and coherence in this time, i think you have a shit perception of the occidental world.

>was put into a more correct, logically coherent, and reasonable context.
what exacly you think is the context?.
you are denying my point because you are assuming that if an assertion dont go through the scientific method or empirical filter, dont have the right to be saying or treated seriously. and that is the point im trying to criticize all over the thread. at the same time you suggest i should have empirical evidence, you are saying in the thread evidence and science dont prove nothing.. you are literally saying i should use your heuristic method or i dont say anything substantial. which is my whole fucking point.
my point is that the mind, the philosophical and the consciousness should not be under the yoke of psichology or science, that is my point. everybody should have his own word about himself.

if in every psychology and psychiatric office and department they have a big poster who say "we dont prove nothing". to me is enough.
i do believe there is a misunderstanding in most of the patients of psychology/psychiatry about this concern, specially when we live in a world where in the schools we are learning science is better at recognizing things because science can prove it in a material vein.

you think im against scientific method or something, but i am against its preponderance like the narrative or the "suitable tool" to know the truth of some issue. i am talking about the social perception of truth, not about the truth. in other words, im against people believing in science as truth, not at science in itself. i think it would be more useful if you go with the issue, not denying it.
think im talking about the people who go to psychiatry believing is the closer truth we have to understand his feelings or whatever they think its a problem about themselves. try to accept this people exist.

>Is this supposed to mean something
if people dont give psychology the legitimization as truth. psychology wouldnt be different than any other philosphical or pseud religious therapeutic project or design about the mind and consciousness.
>may be your only salvation.
is the second time in the thread somebody is implying im a crazy who needs psych help because im against psychiatry/psychology as truth of the mind. i think you dont understand what im talking about. the fact that you think if im crazy, i should go to psych, the automization of this thought, is to me the whole problem.

The replication crisis started not because of meta-analysis but because they asked scientists to replicate studies. They didn't just give the outline to new scientists to attempt to replicate the studies: they also had the original study creator try to replicate their own studies and those also failed to produce the same results. It's taken seriously by them because failing to reproduce your own study should give even an undergrad pause.

Because like most medical and diagnostic sciences, psychiatry selects for sociopaths without self-awareness. People who have doubts about recognizing instances of Diagnosis X applying formula Z, because that's what the book says, don't pass tests and project interview-acing self-confidence the way that a mindless robot who takes everything on faith does. If you have even the most basic wonder in the back of your mind about something like "What are we REALLY doing here..?," it will manifest systemically and slow you down in the race to beat out competitors and become a for-profit pill-dispenser.

Compound that with decade after decade of doing it in your private practice, "seeing results" as people come back and state in a zombie-like monotone "Thank you, doctor, I'm all better now," and you have a recipe for a psychiatrist.

They put my friend on Wellbutrin and Lexapro and he repeatedly tells them, multiple psychs, that he thinks it fried it brain, destroyed his soul, that he doesn't feel like the same person anymore, that he thinks they gave him 10x the dosage they should have started with, etc., and no matter what they just laugh it off and say things like "But didn't you say you no longer feel depressed? So you're better!" He just gave up on begging them to recognise that he's profoundly unhappy with the results, even when he said that the only thing preventing him from having a meltdown in despair over what happened is that the pills nuked his ability to care about things in that way, too.

And still, any time he reports anything wrong, a mild tic, a mild lack of sleep, anything, they start fumbling for their fucking prescription pad and trying to give him some mood stabilizer or ADD medication or something.

Nice. Got my undergrad in ling, too, taking as many psych credits as I could. Developmental psych and sense and perception (Sinneswahrnehmungen) were easily two of my favourite lecture courses. Neurophysiology is a field wherein I found a special affection for Vygotsky, Jakobson, and, for other predilections, Havelock Ellis.

Folks who denigrate Freud without having read his works are impoverished in intellect. Reading his works, it becomes evident his intent to consolidate and concrete the foundations of modern psychology. For subsequent criticism of his perspectives on hysteria, sexuality, and consciousness, I defer to Foucault.

Generally speaking, Freud is to psychology as Chomsky is to linguistics. It's not valuable theory so much as it's valuable insight into the historical background of the field in question.

The dude you were arguing with even pointed out which journal to look it up in. If I can find it, why can't you? In fact, when I went to look it up, I found blog posts from the psycholinguistics researchers saying they had a hard time getting their contradictory replication printed as a replication study to be included in Nature's survey on replication, because the failure to replicate results was so large that it counted as a refutation of the original result more than a replication.

https://retractionwatch.com/2018/05/09/an-attempt-to-publish-a-replication-attempt-in-a-nature-journal-part-2/

^Will take you through how the original psycholinguistics study published by Nature had flawed methods and how the replication has different results, and how Nature tried to avoid publishing it in their survey of replication results because a) the field is so small in neuroscience and b) the replication results were so divergent from the original study's results.
This should adequately disprove your idea that psycholinguistics is immune to poor methodology and also your idea that it has not been included in the Nature survey of the replication crisis.

The other dude might have the right idea in not spoonfeeding someone who insists other people google for him, but I don't see how you can claim either of those things when proof is just a google away. Was it your shitty article that they disproved and cited for filler words or something that you're being this obtuse?

NB this places them in the 70% statistic of those that fail to reproduce another's results from Nature. That statistic is derived from the whole survey across more than psychology and neuroscience. Using it as a stand in for psychology replication failures and saying psycholinguistics is exempt suggests you don't know what the replication survey is about or what the statistics represent.

I'm the fag you (You)'d

depression can be caused by a serotonin deficiency, but it isn't a necessity. Also lesser overall cognitive abilities are shown or a lesser testosterone level. You can also be depressed by simply LIFE events. It's also shown that people with a very high intelligence are more prown to depression because they aren't easily satisfied and can't relate to most other people, and humans are social beings by nature.

According to the DSM you can ONLY speak of a disorder if the person in question or/an the people surrounding that person significantly suffer from it.

So to answer your question, yes it can be scientificly diagnosed but in most cases there will be a subjective part (like has the person considered suicide etc), which is done by shitty surveys. I advocate for more physical scans anyway.

I may need the help of some of you.
After reading most of this thread I was left kinda disillusioned. My 'dream' (that's not really the appropriate term but who cares?) is to become a therapist and treat people who are in dire situations. I want to study psychology. I really like Jordan Peterson and stuff like Archetypes. That's the most interesting thing about psychology in my opinion. I still haven't read any Jung but he and his writings seem very interesting to me. What I also think is very interesting is Religions and their relationship to psychology (like I already said: Archetypes). I only want to study psychology to treat and help people later.
I don't want to study psychology like someone who's studying biology, because they find the subject interesting. Don't get me wrong I do think it's very interesting but that's not my main goal. I'm also not so sure if what I'm interested really is psychology and not philosophy (Archetypes, Jung, etc.). I live in Germany maybe that helps with formulating an answer to my question. What should I do? Do I study psychology for 11 years to become a psychotherapist ("Psychotherapeut"), basically a clinical psychologist? Or...?

I don't trust them anymore after a therapist gave my little brother amphetamines

Threw that shit down in the trash
Woke up my mom in the middle of the night
Told her "you have made a big mistake. Never give him these pills again."
Gladly she listened without much protest, despite how badly she wanted his grades to improve
In our culture the eldest son has some degree of authority in the house, and i put it to use for the sake of my little bros brain

False positives don't have a standard rate of occurrence and they couldn't have a standard rate of replication. It's like saying the false positive rate of heroin is the same as the false positive rate of tire damage and they have the same replication errors.

I'm a JBP fan who thought being a therapist would be fulfilling. The caveat to that is if I don't feel like I'm making an actual difference it will do the opposite of what I wanted in the first place.

I think I'll research and look into the effectiness of therapy. I might find it rewarding enough to know that at the very least I'm being an open ear to someone who wants help dealing with mental health. If I look into the field and it feels to wishywashy and not solid then I'll probably teach English or look into being a firefighter.
The PhD level seems interesting but I don't know if I want to dedicate that much of my life towards my job.

If you come to the U.S you can become a psychotherapist with a MA instead of a PhD.

I don't know why, but what you say is true.

The only success I've heard from practicing psychology is from people who are already successful but mildly anxious/depressed. I don't think the "psychology" is causing the effect though. I think that these high functioning people are getting a placebo effect and/or benefiting from talking about their problems out loud and realizing how retarded they sound. The only other group psychology seems to help are those with child level fears and phobias, like literal retards who are scared of spiders and public bathrooms with massive glory holes with giant penises trying to ejaculate on you while you're trying to take a dump at the public park on a Wednesday afternoon in July.

Most data analysis done within social and personality psychology is done using frequentist tools.

A result is not significant (i.e. assumed that it is not a false positive) if it does not achieve a p value of 0.05. The chance for two studies, assuming same conditions, (which isn't possible, but assume it for the sake of argument), to find a false positive in a given result is, at most, 1/400.

There's also some bad science happening (e.g. p hacking), partially due to the necessity to publish in order to keep your position, which may contribute the unreliability of some studies.
The field is becoming self-aware of these problems, and is encouraging researchers to articulate and submit hypotheses before data analysis, experiment with Bayesian methods, and to examine studies with an increased focus on the methodology/analysis rather than results.

That is not how you work out the rate of false positives and even with a significance range of p 0.05, the probability of false positives being repeated needs the rate of false positives, and true positives, to be known, and to have already rejected the null hypothesis. You cannot work out the false positive ratio (the chance of it being repeated) without knowing the false positive rate (and therefore also the true negatives and overall negatives) and without significance testing (and therefore also including the variables for true positives and failures to reject the null hypothesis).
You're not including the variables which are necessary to that ratio, and you are (incorrectly) saying that significance assumes a lack of false positives. The chances are not 1/400, and you are not giving the variables necessary to work out the probability of repetition.

>> No.13295151

>>13294775
>you are (incorrectly) saying that significance assumes a lack of false positives

It doesn't, rather it represents an arbitrary cutoff from which we can be reasonably certain about a given result. It's a cutoff that separates the area of uncertainty and fairly certain.

>That is not how you work out the rate of false positives

I didn't make that claim, that ratio does not represent an absolute amount for every given replication, nor is it applicable to the significance range of p 0.05, but rather to specifically a value of 0.05. It's purely the highest chance of such a thing occurring while achieving significance, assuming a cutoff of 0.05, and given same conditions across tests, which is, again, an absurd assumption. It's a tool used to illustrate a point.

>You cannot work out the false positive ratio (the chance of it being repeated) without knowing the false positive rate (and therefore also the true negatives and overall negatives) and without significance testing (and therefore also including the variables for true positives and failures to reject the null hypothesis).

The false positive rate is equivalent to the p value. It's known in my hypothetical.

This post is the worst thing in this thread.

No evidence that it's multi-dimensional, but rather it reflects a belief in wanting it to be multi-dimensional. Those who still cling to the idea of emotional IQ are regarded with the same respect of those who still cling to the learning styles meme. Rather these multiple dimensions are just IQ manifesting behaviorally due to its co-occurrence with other traits or dimensions (e.g. emo IQ is really IQ with high trait agreeableness).

they cant even conceive depression is an ethical possition or that they are social categorizers, or that assuming hurting others is a sympton of a disease is a purely machiavellian shit. and this only in this thread. one thing is not read too many philosophy and another is dont have an acknowledge of basic thoughts involve in your discipline. never understanding your ground of work is a purely philosophical and personal ground too delicate for big words and big experimenting.
if you do science with consciousness, you gonna be like a retard experimenting with something he never really understand. they are creating a type of consciousness. something they couldnt acknowledge either.

m8 you clearly don't understand what the math here involves. Significance ≠ false positive rate. You need both. You also need the other variable I told you about. Otherwise you cannot work out the chance of a false positive repeating. You need to put those variables into the false positive ratio formula to work out the chances of a false positive repeating.

What you're saying to me is like

It's not, you need the variable from the radius.
