Fads in psychology: refrigerator mothers, homosexuality, recovered memories

Current fad: trauma-informed approach and more specifically the fawn or appeasement response. Again, people are in prison for it.

Pete Walker’s work is anecdotal, not supported by any studies, panders to victimhood, and aligned with many discredited ideas such as the polyvagal theory. Example: emotional flashback which misconstrues both emotions and flashbacks.

The fawn response is not currently a formal diagnosis in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) or the ICD-11.
