Evidence-based “psychotherapy” would be a terrible thing. Who would have gotten the evidence? Professional academics pursuing their norms and their careers and with litlle daily contact with clients, who daily challenge the therapist by asking impossible questions and doing impossible things. This so called body of evidence becomes creed—and must be applied by all to Joe & Jim, regardless of what Joe and Jim says.
Evidence based therapy is a tyranny that transforms the therapist to an Eiiza (a zombie) twisting all problems into the already agreed upon solution. Talking to a bum on a park bench (or a mathematics professor) would indeed be better than this.
