 Ovid: Lilienfeld: Am Psychol, Volume 57(3).March 2002.176–188
If the public believes that researchers in psychology and psychiatry are often at odds with common sense, then these researchers may need to expend more effort explaining to the public why common sense is a highly fallible barometer of the verisimilitude of scientific propositions (see Gardner & Dalsing, 1986, and McCutcheon, 1991, for vivid examples).

Many vague theories have been proposed in an attempt to avoid the actuality that EMDR is primarily engrossed with pseudoscientific content (Herbert, Lilienfeld, Lohr, Montgomery, O’Donohue, Rosen, Tolin, in press 2000), although the theories have basically degenerated to the point of being incapable of producing supplementary validated hypotheses.
