Harvard Doc To Wikipedia: You’re Not Playing Fair On Alternative Trauma Therapy

http://commonhealth.wbur.org/2014/11/harvard-doc-to-wikipedia-youre-not-playing-fair-on-alternative-trauma-therapy

The journalist in me says we should cover them because they are part of our movement’s news.

The business man in me says it’s best to not stir the flames if it doesn’t serve your goals.

What do we think as a communications team?

I have not researched this at all, so have no factual evidence to cite about the validity of the author’s claims that he was unfairly scrubbed in this "energy psychology" article.

But the reasoned tone of his article doesn’t make him sound like a “lunatic charlatan” at first glance, even if his medical methods are unorthodox.

Again, please let me know if I am contributing too much or inappropriately to this list. I thrive on feedback :)
