My November column for Skeptical Inquirer, “Psychology’s CAM Controversy,” outlines the increasing use of unsubstantiated complementary and alternative medicine methods by practicing psychologists.
Despite the lack of evidence to support their use, these treatments are very popular and have been championed in articles and books published by the American Psychological Association.

Thankfully, there has been some recent pushback from science-minded practitioners.

Friday November 13th has come and gone, and once again I offered pithy quotes on superstition for several media outlets. USA Today and National Geographic recycled earlier articles I appeared in, but the Toronto Sun and Minnesota Public Radio published original pieces for November, 2015.

My latest piece, “How a Headache Saved My Life” has just gone up on the New York Observer website. The Observer has previously reprinted material I’ve written for other outlets, but this is the first story to appear as an original on the Observer site. I am delighted to be involved with such a wonderful media organization, and to be alive to tell you this particular story.

In other news, October is superstition month, and so I was quoted in this Yahoo News story about America’s Top Superstitions.
