Grohol Slaps TAC Senselessly Silly

The Treatment Advocacy Center (TAC) recently posted that people with schizophrenia are 10 times more likely to be violent as compared to persons not suffering from schizophrenia. I quickly said "WHA?" That seemed so far detached from reality that I didn't even know where to start. So Marissa Miller had a nice analysis of their figures that pointed out a number of flaws in the analysis. Nice job, Marissa.

Then John Grohol stepped in and (BAM) slapped the TAC analysis silly. Absolutely senselessly silly. I won't even try to steal his thunder. Just go to Psych Central and you'll come away saying, "Those *@!@ at TAC!" Nice job slicing and dicing, Dr. Grohol! I'm always proud when a fellow psychologist throws the BS flag when needed.
