The Practical Compendium of Colorpuncture by Peter Mandel

This single fact might lead someone without all the proper information to claim it was an epidemic of disease. While the number of the affected increasing it would seem that the disease itself was spreading but that is not the case. A good example with this is autism spectrum disorders. Within the last 40 years, sciences knowledge about how the brain works and what goes on in mental disorders has greatly increased, unfortunately the general public has only received the same information in spurts and bursts and generally don't get the whole picture. Reigning this back into the subject matter of psychology at large and even the simple understanding of psychiatric disorders and diagnoses.

With all that makes it to print, its hard to imagine the compendium of non-sense one might find on the internet. A quick perusal of the magazine rack at any store will give you an idea of how much makes it to print, magazines on the same subject will have wildly different takes on the same subject largely from unverified sources. Uncorroborated rumors and untrue factoids spread quite quickly in the information age. While considering some of the topics in the book it seems some of the blame lies with misinformation.

I started thinking about how these concepts can relate to each other even within the realm of peoples understanding of mental health in general. In the course of reading about this course and relating pseudoscience and the psychology behind it.
