• In the past 20-plus years of practice, I have often heard colleagues condescendingly speaking of systems they do not practice while suggesting that their system, training, and lineage are superior.

• A psychotherapist named Rosenzweig promoted the dodo verdict theory in 1936: As long as a patient received mental health treatment, regardless of the style, the patients had positive outcomes.

• If we accept the dodo verdict as plausible for our field, we no longer need to waste hours on social media debating colleagues.
