Even people who are very smart can still make mistakes. Einstein made some, and certainly someone with no background in psychology can make a mistake when it comes to evaluating the efficacy and validity of various treatment models. Also, please do not put words in my mouth. I did not say that minority opinions do not exist, or that every single psychologist in the field agrees with it. Furthermore, I did not call popa stupid. However, he is wrong to write off an extensively tested and studied and effective treatment modality as ‘narishkeit’. I’d even turn what you said to me around on him – perhaps he doesn’t agree with CBT himself (for reasons that I certainly don’t understand, but sound personal), but why does mean that it should be so flippantly dismissed as ‘narishkeit’ when clearly the vast majority of reputable therapists support CBT? Although, now that I’ve seen from above comments that he doesn’t seem to really understand what CBT is, perhaps that is the root of the problem here.
