Sometimes there are things I want to say but can’t, so in common with many others I have decided to write a blog. My main focus will be on my work as a clinical psychology researcher, practitioner and trainer, but I expect I will stray a fair bit. Lets see where it goes! I find myself in disagreement (or just plain bored) with rather a lot of what goes on in my field, which is why I have called this blog psychonoclast!
Just to be clear: all the opinions offered in this blog (unless explicitly specified otherwise) are my own views and not those of organisations or groups I work for and/or with. All my fault!
psychonoclast's Blog 
Thank you for your assessment of The Linden Method. Most informative. And occasionally very witty! Most refreshing.
A couple of years ago, I came across a Wikipedia internal debate on whether or not to remove the listing about The Linden Method – or perhaps Charles Linden. It was subsequently removed. Possibly due to claims about the efficacy of the method not being substantiated? I wondered if you knew about this and/or if you knew where/how one could access this Wikipedia debate.
Thanks. I saw it. There seemed to be an issue for cl when someone added a reference to my review which at the time had been mostly scared off the net. I copied it in its entirety ( it was very protracted and grimly amusing) and have it archived somewhere.
Let me remind you of “the nine pillars”, apparently central to the Linden Method.
Stop visiting your doctor (and other doctors too)
Talk to your doctor about stopping the medication (confusingly as you are not supposed to visit them)
Stop looking for answers to your problems elsewhere
Only use the Linden method
Stop talking to other people about how you feel (except the [clinically unqualified] linden support staff)
Stop relying on other people for help with your feelings (which follows from not talking to them presumably)
Get rid of memories about your problem
Keep busy as a diversion (distraction)
Don’t allow anxiety to change what you do.
Apart from the last one, these are plain silly.
I don’t know where to start on that crap.
What I do detect on your part is a slight uncertainty on the spelling of utter bollocks. (/whole-bunch-of-sarcasm-aimed-at-that-Linden-chap)
I honestly cannot see how that ‘method’ could possibly enable anybody to achieve the aim expressed in that last ‘pillar’.
You seem reluctant to do this, but I feel almost compelled¹ to make the ‘diagnosis’ for this Linden chap:
F69.- bellendistic personality disorder
On a more serious note, though, thank you for making it clear that Linden’s method is really not a good way to deal with any anxiety disorder, let alone OCD specifically.
¹ Nice wee homage to the fact that I’m actually sub-clinical OCD myself (10/40 on Y-BOCS)
HTML fail *sigh*
