Our prof went out of his way to discredit Zimbardo when I took Psych 201 in 1995.

I think the problem is that there's an utter and total disconnect between pop psychology, the shit you read in Vox or the Atlantic or anywhere that isn't behind a paywall, and clinical psychology, the shit that gets integrated into the DSM and billing codes. From that perspective these articles are doing a public good.
