Research paychology I had no really considered. I will allow as a portion of that field, probably a very small portion, is not fraud. Back in the 70s I had extensive 2nd and 3rd hand dealings with many psychologists and first hand also when I was attached to the Veterans’ hospital in Gainesville Florida. I had a number of friends going into the field at UF and met many practitioners. I watched a number of womens’ lives get totally skewed by psychs. It is the most fadbound of all the “sciences” and the for a few years was to diagnose any female that sought or was required to get counseling for any reason as a repressed lesbian who must act out her tendency. Much personal disaster came from that. In my own encounter with psychs in my role as VA patient I found them to be locked in the particular fads that were current and unable to even contemplated anything that determinedly did not comply with their templates. They became confused when the subject was able to actually discuss their points and did not answer questions “right”. I have met some psychologists since that period and my estimation of them has not risen.

...or was sexually abused by her father. You are entirely correct about the "fadbound" nature of the industry. It's shameful.
