Fads, Fakes, and Frauds: Exploding Myths in Culture, Science and Psychology

A weird mix of well researched psychology, superficial historical anecdotes choosen to fit the author's discourse and critics of today society. For example, the author manage to prove (backed by research) that there's a rise in some forms of self-victimisations and its weaponisation, without ever exploring other views it, such that maybe it's more acceptable today to be open about discrimination that one can suffer, and thus the rise of self-victims is just correlated with a overall rise in reports of incidents. It's therefore hard to judge the validity of the author's claim since he never fully explore the subject. The author also make claims about the historical origin of several concepts, often extrapolating from the facts, which then form the basis of its philosophical argumentation. Whether this extrapolations are true or not, one casual reader cannot determine and thus cannot evaluate the whole argument.
