Has anyone read the articles written by Dalrymple that appeared in Psychology Today?
I found them recently and they are quite good, naturally:

Thank you, Daniel. I don’t think we ever posted the one from 2009.
Well, there’s a surprise. I was under the impression that the good doctor regarded psychology as a pseudoscience.
Okay now, this is beyond parody.
Is that a confession?
