PsiAN Featured in The New York Times

PsiAN was recently featured in The New York Times, in an article about Talkspace.

Over the last few years, PsiAN has noted a number of concerns about texting apps, ranging from lack of a substantive evidence base showing efficacy, to ethical problems, to the very concerning potential of diverting people from getting quality therapy. We’ve written to the American Psychological Association, even to Michael Phelps himself.  Here's an in-depth look at Talkspace and the many problems we’ve been concerned about.

Great reporting by the NYT, and many thanks to Kashmir Hill for giving PsiAN the last word!
