Anomalistic Psychology Research Unit Invited Speaker Series, 2011/12
Abstract
The Nightingale Collaboration was established in 2011 to tackle misleading claims by alternative therapists. Its projects have highlighted false online advertising by homeopaths, craniosacral therapists and reflexologists. The speakers will explain how it is possible to protect the public by working with regulatory bodies to remove unjustified, and sometimes potentially dangerous, claims from the web.
