You're also right on when you point out that many of the terms and phrases people throw around so freely these days are really clinical terms or diagnoses. But what's worse is that many of these terms are frequently and egregiously misused or improperly defined, not just by the public, but by professionals! This is a major issue I address at workshops that I give. It's also a topic I'm featuring in a series of posts on my blog: www.manipulative-people.com. I'm posting the results of your survey on my blog and will give my readers a link to your post. Thanks again!<br /><br />Dr. Simon Jeremy, you are so right about the prevalence of psychobable!
