In the intro is written that psychotherapy may be "concucted with groups, including families." But the Family psychotherapy is different from the Group psychotherapy. I tried to edit it but my English is insufficient. Explain me please why I was wrong. Thank you. Chomsky ( talk) 14:11, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
Thank you very much. Chomsky ( talk) 07:20, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
Please, allow me to notice you that I did not understand what is "psychotherapy conducted with groups" until I visited the link. The construction "psychotherapy concucted with groups" is hard to understand (especially if the groups are exemplified by "families"). When the article was rewieved at 26 August 2006 it had excellent intro. As well as the Simple English Wikipedia has good intro. And the Britannica.com, too. I can't bear your wrong intro supported by a single source which even appears in contradiction with it. Chomsky ( talk) 06:20, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
Any psychotherapies (except the family psychotherapies) contain only partially the same which contain the group psychotherapies (for example, that members are not acquaintances). The family psychotherapies would have to contain fully the same which contain the group psychotherapies. This they can't satisfy. They can't be the representatives of the group psychotherapies, belong to them. Do you agree? Chomsky ( talk) 15:16, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
In this edit, the following sentence was removed from the lead section without a rationale or edit summary (by an editor who has an unhelpful habit of making major changes without writing edit summaries):
Certain types of psychotherapy are considered evidence-based for treating some diagnosed mental disorders, and other types have been criticized as pseudoscience. [1]
The pseudoscience part was added by Beland in this edit. I am not going to restore the sentence myself, but I am noting it here in case anyone else considers it important. Biogeographist ( talk) 12:41, 30 August 2021 (UTC)

Although the boundaries separating pseudoscience from science are fuzzy, pseudosciences are characterized by several warning signs—fallible but useful indicators that distinguish them from most scientific disciplines. ... In contrast to most accepted medical interventions, which are prescribed for a circumscribed number of conditions, many pseudoscientific techniques lack boundary conditions of application. For example, some proponents of Thought Field Therapy, an intervention that purports to correct imbalances in unobservable energy fields, using specified bodily tapping algorithms, maintain that it can be used to treat virtually any psychological condition, and that it is helpful not only for adults but also for children, dogs, and horses.
TFT, a treatment applied to mood, anxiety, and trauma-related disorders, is a prime example of practice founded on pseudoscience. TFT is based on the premise that bodily energy imbalances cause negative emotions. Treatment is purported to rectify imbalances by tapping on acupuncture meridians. Virtually no peer-reviewed research supports this treatment rationale. With only methodologically weak reports available in the literature, the so-called science cited to support TFT is primarily anecdotal and does not rule out placebo effects. Despite these criticisms, the TFT website continues to advance unsupported claims about TFT's ability to cure almost any emotional problem.
