Both are a problem. I should not conflate the two.

I agree. Asking questions which are normal in my own field resulted in stonewalling and obvious distress. The worst thing being this leading to the end of what was a good relationship.

That is one of my concerns.

Not talking to anyone at all.

Start digging into psychotherapy research and tearing their papers apart. Then the SPR. Whole thing is corrupt to the core. A lot of papers drive public health policy outside the field as it's so vague and easy to cite but the research is only fit for retraction watch.

Throwaway account. My ex partner was involved in a study which said these things were not ok. They were paid not to publish by an undisclosed party. That's how bad it has got.

Edit: the study compared therapist outcomes to AI outcomes to placebo outcomes. Therapists in this field performed slightly better than placebo, which is pretty terrible. The AI outcomes performed much worse than placebo which is very terrible.
