I know, a little irony about posting it here, but if the moderators allow... Discuss!

I'm sure Andrew Gottlieb, Ph.D., Clinical Psychologist, the writer of the article, much rather have you pay him $300 / hour for some talk therapy.

Dr. Gottlieb makes a good point about the sampling size yet clearly he is an old fart, not really having looked into most disease communities.

This from a guy with a free twentyeleven (meh) WordPress theme, who can't be bothered to provide the proper link to YouTube for his video and doesn't even know how to embed it. Clearly doesn't understand the power of the Internet and how to properly utilize it. I should shoot him an email and ask him if would like to have a professional website instead of looking like an amateur who can't afford a nice presentation on the 'Net.

He's not that old, and seems to have proper qualifications. He's made the unfortunate mistake of calling himself the "Lounge Lizard," in reference to his Psychology Lounge website. A cringe-inducing reminder of the term "lounge lizard."
