And finally this week: there's a kerfuffle lately in the field of psychology.
It began when a doctor in Canada posted the most common inkblots used in the Rorschach test on Wikipedia -- along with the most common descriptions given to those pictures.
The doctor, James Heilman, has been accused of professional misconduct.
Barbara Lewis asked Sound Medicine's Steve Bogdewic –- himself a therapist himself –- whether the Rorschach test is really a useful tool, and worth getting all het-up about.
