[...] Science is not dogma, and is constantly self-correcting in the collective criticism of the community of scientists. But that is not the view of those relativists who now study the history of science in order to discredit is as “a swindle.” (See http://clarespark.com/2010/02/10/a-brooding-meditation-on-intimacy-and-distance/ or http://clarespark.com/2010/01/03/this-witch-is-not-for-burning-science-as-magic/.)

Thanks Jean. I am in accord with your fears about government and private support of CAM interventions. At this point, you undoubtedly know more about the subject than I do. I suggest to my readers that they consult your own blog, which is very fine and important. Jean Mercer’s blog is here: http://www.childmyths.blogspot.com/.

Dear Clare– I’m trying to think through what meaning your comments above (and more recently on H-SCI etc.NET) may have for the present support of complementary and alternative medicine by government and private sources. I’m putting together a proposal for a book on the historical background of CAM mental health interventions and would appreciate any related thoughts you might have.

Thanks, and best regards,
Jean Mercer
