Reply to "Why do we have trained clinicians?"

Another recent article that can be argued supports behavioral therapies incorporating "Prolonged Exposure" to feared stimuli, rather than detracts from them, is by Harned DOI: 10.1080/10503307.2016.1252865

Evidence supposedly for people being negatively influenced by behavioral techniques seems to be a single study by German psychodynamic therapists, but this study failed to incorporate treatment fidelity measures. So who knows what "treatment" those said to be receiving Behaviour Therapy really received -- if your allegiance is to a different form of therapy (psychodynamic) and you have a negative preconception of a particular form of therapy (BT), then you might act in ways that are harmful (unconsciously, of course) to patients receiving that form of therapy (more negative therapeutic relationship?).
