    Psychology Today is not a psychiatric journal. The two are not the same. This isn't a medical journal and the articles are not peer reviewed. Psychology Today is a 'popular' magazine meant for the general public. So it doesn't carry the same weight as The American Journal of Psychiatry or similar professional journals.

    Use it with caution.

    It's a brief overview of studies from other journals (all shown on the link) in layman's language.

    Fantastic article. Absolutely fantastic.Great post Balaams Ass.

    Id say way more than one million people are affected by some form of shunning from exposure to WT theology.

    I agree Sea Breeze There's many people I've come across who were never baptised but are shunned by family just the same. Many having psychological problems, mental health issues, extreme risk taking behaviour, sexual self harm (I'd term it), addiction, alcoholism etc
