One of the “standard solutions” to problems of potential liability is to post a disclaimer. This is the 1998 disclaimer from Dr. Grohol’s mental health site (PsychCentral). “This listing is for personal use in education or research only!…This listing is not meant to replace personal advice, diagnosis, or care from a licensed mental health practioner (sic)…”
Is it really effective in convincing people not to diagnose themselves? (The

current version of this disclaimer is somewhat different.) |
