Non-scientific, pseudoscientific, nonsensical, or seemingly cashing-in-on-a-popular-treatment CE examples

This is the case with almost every podcast I have tried listening to on the subject. A big misconception seems too be that the IQ mostly represents ones ability to take standardized tests. They also mention all the harmful ways IQ testing has been used. While a fair point, it really does not mean that the concept, and the testing, are invalid or unreliable. It really seems like no one in the popular media actually cares about the psychometrics and science behind intelligence (including many psychologists). But this may be a thread jack, sorry.

Yeah, especially recently, critics of IQ testing, and testing in general, love to point out ways that they have been misused, rather than debate the science. It's like arguing that because hammers and other blunt tools are used in a significant number of homicides per year that the building trades should outlaw their use and go back to the drawing board.

I believe your link is doubled there. This one I am not so troubled seeing. While it may be more accurate to frame it as management of these PDs, the description lists EBT/ESTs as the framework. Probably a fairly useful CE for people in certain inpatient/PHP units.

I actually attended one of his trainings on BPD (the only PESI course I've attended) and rather enjoyed it. It definitely wasn't a CBT perspective but I found that kind of helpful, since I'm less familiar with the other perspectives.
