Yeah I would ask him if his "theory" is research based evidence practice or his own speculation based on ?

When I was in one outpatient program there was one therapist who said some of the most ridiculous things. Way out there. I was often asking where she learned that, what journal she read that in,... She never had a source; they were things that she "knew". I mean this lady was absurd. I finally had a meeting with the manager and told her some of the "wisdom" the therapist taught and advised her to sit in on a few sessions to hear for herself what absurd things she said.

I bought a book on ebay titled
"Critical Thinking in Psychology: Separating Sense from Nonsense" and gave it to the idiot therapist. It was my own way of poking fun at her but yet in a way that she didn't realize it was a joke. She thanked me and smiled. I smiled demurely. I hope she learned something from the book but I have my doubts.
