My hopes are low, let's put it like that

But they were also pretty low for Robert Murat, so, I don't like media vigilantism anymore.

No I strongly disagree on giving psychoanalysis that much consideration

Besides the fact that psychoanalysis, new wave or not ; jung, freud, lacan, has only been demonstrated to work better than leaving the patient alone on a handful of illnesses and it's still unclear whether simply letting patients talk and air out their problems could be the main driver of that.

It is fundamentally a discipline that is impermeable to science

I've never heard a student tell me they've read Watson or Rayner or any of the founders of CBT because scientific disciplines are centered around historical results and not authors. They know about Rayner's results and it is enough, and if something better comes along later they'll switch. No one is a Raynerist.

Psychoanalysis has gurus, and the beliefs themselves are built to be unverifiable

I'm tired of lecturers who tell you that if you treat someone with it, it's proof that it works. And if the patient doesn't respond to treatment it's either the patient's fault or they just need more time, and nothing is ever proof that it doesn't work. And who are you to question anyway?

If they suddenly start publishing reproduced results in reputable journals that do anything other than being less effective than the current state of the art, then sure, let's have them beyond history classes. Right now though? It's a load of bullshit

I've had neighbors for 28 years and they've never been a significant portion of my problems. Largely nice, mostly indifferent, sometimes annoying

Being close to things, short commutes, no driving and not being lonely though?

Remove any of those and I'm instantly worse off

Not fun fact: 8 out of 10 shrinks in France use psychoanalysis

Only 1 university in the country excludes it from their care curriculum (history modules non-withstanding)

Only country in the world that hasn't booted that practice off along with argentina

This is a Patrick Symmes's article I read a while ago

https://www.patricksymmes.com/articles/publications/harpers/2010/thirty-days-as-a-cuban/

The data you listed comes from IHME, Global Burden of Disease but there's nothing findable online as to how it's actually gathered

I suspect they got it from the Cuban government

It's not easy having a good nutrition in Cuba

The malnutrition stat is completely made up

I'd say it's a non sequitur
