The level of P-hacking and dodgy evaluations of therapeutic models and interventions claiming to be ‘evidence based’ is astounding.
Agencies and governments buying in to these need to read evaluations a little more carefully.

@StephanKesting @DBolelli Loved this episode. In the process of learning about my grandfather, who seems to have been part of the Italian resistance and later joined the Alpini (Valledaosta). Thank you!
This afternoon @larissawaters and I have lodged a Senate motion censuring Senator Hanson for her anti-migrant attack telling me to “piss off back to Pakistan”.
I call on all my colleagues to support the motion and affirm that racism has no place in our public debate.
The use of ‘rewards and consequences’ has been the approach with traumatised kids since Skinner trained his rat in 1938.
But Skinner wasn’t correcting inappropriate rat behaviour, and his rat wasn’t traumatised, at least not until after the experiment.
