Hah, yeah, I think I've heard of him. One of those Terrain Model folk. It's a mad, mad world.
I don't mean to dissuade you from thinking there isn't a consensus on many things. Like the mood stabilizers and antipsychotics, there are things that are prevalent in many disciplines.
The books these are in may not be as glamorous as the shiny, edgy books with bold claims. One way is to find out what they're talking about: how does a psychotherapist help a patient? What's the day in the life of a nutritionist? When doctors do talk about vaccines, what do they say? How do Olympic athletes train?
Getting a sense of something may be just as, if not more, important than factual knowledge.
Like I said, think of it as exploring, not fact-checking.
