Review

The Scientific Review of Mental Health Practice is an interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to the objective investigation of novel, controversial, and unorthodox practices in clinical psychology, psychiatry, social work, and other mental health disciplines (e.g., counseling, forensic psychology, psychiatric nursing, school psychology). Its primary mission is to assist researchers, practitioners, educators, mental health consumers, and others to distinguish scientifically unsupported from scientifically supported techniques in the field of mental health. The policy of the editors is to keep an open mind regarding the validity and effectiveness of all new and untested psychotherapeutic, diagnostic, and assessment methods, but we insist on rigorous scientific standards in their evaluation.
