The fourth in a series of booklets, Pop Psychology Debunked contains Dr. Hurd's groundbreaking essay: "Top 13 Myths Promoted by the Self-Help Industry" plus a collection of essays entitled: "The Truth about Attention Deficit Disorder." Both essays bring into question the rampant labeling of kids as ADD, and excuses such as Road Rage, Social Anxiety Disorder and many other catch-all labels. Dr. Hurd claims these and other labels serve as crutches for our failing school system and psychologists who are all-too-willing to say whatever their patients want to hear.

The Foreword is written by noted clinical psychologist and author Stanton Samenow, Ph.D.</p>
