A statement from the CPA:
“It is confusing to decide if you or someone you care about has a psychological
problem. It is even more confusing trying to decide what the problem is and what
to do about it.
‘Psychology Works’ is designed to give you information that you can trust. We hope
you find it useful. We will be adding topics in the future so check back every few
months.”
