The tide turned decisively against nude psychotherapy just a few years later, owing to a confluence of factors: the death of one of its biggest championsAbraham Maslowin 1970, increasingly outlandish and undocumented claims from Bindrim that this therapy could cure everything from impotence to arthritis, and growing questions about Bindrims true motives (nude psychotherapy was giving Bindrim fame and fortune). Another nail in the coffin came when Bindrim renamed his technique aqua-energetics in the 1970s in an attempt to downplay the nude aspect of it. This nameunsurprisinglylanded with a thud and never really captured the same public interest. By the 1980s, the leading psychological and psychiatric associations came out and stated that nude therapy was unethical and obviously wrong. Nude therapy no longer exists because it would be inconsistent with modern psychologists code of ethics. That said, there are still some people who purport to offer naked therapy today, but its important to note they dont have the licensing or credentials to offer legitimate mental health counseling. Likewise, nude psychotherapy is unlikely to make a comeback in the US any time soon, especially when you consider that, if anything, Americans have only grown more uncomfortable with nudity in recent years. (Just think about how uncomfortable millennials have become with the idea of changing clothes in a gym locker room.) More of our social interactions are also taking place online between people who often never really get to know one another because our virtual selves are so selectively presented that they bear little resemblance to our real selves. That could be part of the reason why were feeling lonelier than ever beforewere having fewer and fewer meaningful social exchanges. In summary, Nude Therapy is nothing short of a modern snake oil salesperson con and scam to separate money from people. Let the fools do as they wish. Let the wise avoid and beware!
