Psychology Today - a premiere professional psychology magazine - has employed the use of "expert" bloggers to write articles for their web site. Unfortunately and disturbingly, many of these so-called "experts" use post articles that employ deceitful statistics, dubious research, and for questionable agendas. Often, responses to public critics are nefarious and abusive. While we recognize the importance and existence of sound psychology and psychology professionals, we demand that Psychology Today, its advertisers, employees, and writers conduct themselves in a dignified manner consistent with the principals of the highest standards of ethics as defined by the American Psychological Association's Code of Conduct and Psychology Today's own criteria of employing "Doctors and Ph.D.'s who have dedicated their professional lives to the promotion of sound psychology for the benefit of the communities in which they live. " Thank you for your support!

I used to trust them for actual research but lately it is just pure clickbait and biased personal opinions. Really shameful for a site with that name.

About time someone called them out. They publish junk science and let the authors act like total jerks in the comments sections. Do better.
