Psychology Treatment

1. Construct a well-written (2 paragraph or roughly 400 word) main post.
FIRST: Consider these statements from your text…
Therapy is significantly more effective than no treatment.
In general, there is little or no difference in the general effectiveness of different therapies.
Evidence-base treatment supports that certain therapies or combinations of therapies do appear to be more effective than others for certain disorders
Start your main post this week by telling us what you think about this all… Be sure to give me a clear response on your opinion/thought processes as they relate to these statements. Also, clearly tell us why it is important that we apply science to treatment and use empirically supported treatments. (1 paragraph)
SECOND: Consider the trend that utilizing biomedical therapies, especially the prescription of medication, increases substantially every year… Read the response by one psychiatrist Dr. Ronald Pies (Links to an external site.).
Continue your main post by giving us your take on this… What about our society leads to a rise in the use of medicine? Do you think we are over-prescribing or do you seem to believe the arguments against this trend offered by Dr. Pies? Regardless of the type of therapy utilized, why do you think are so many people not even seeking treatment, of any kind, for the issues they face? (1 paragraph)
