This drives me NUTS as well. I've read some stuff on PC (the homepage articles, whatever they're called), including stuff on bipolar I really take issue with... They don't pass themselves off as clinicians, but there is a sense/tone that they are some sort of experts. I always look at qualifications (though that is no guarantee either).
Anyone and their grandmother can set up a website and call themselves 'life coaches' (which is meaningless) and self-promote (which this particular guy seems to be good it, if you believe the publicity cited on his website). I think this guy comes off as an idiot from the get go, but the dangerous ones are those who do write well and can sound very authoritative but are anything but. Or maybe the stupid ones can be dangerous too, what do I know.
