Perhaps the question I am confronted with most when teaching statistics courses to psychology undergrads is "Why should I need this, when I become a therapist"? That's a difficult one to answer in a single sentence, but I will give it a try, nonetheless: "Because everything we know in psychology - and the social sciences in general - is connected to empirical data". Well, it was a first try. As the previous sections of this volume have shown you, in scientific psychology we strive to test our claims using data. Testing our claims (ideally) leads to appropriate theories becoming successful and inappropriate theories being discarded. When you are working with patients or clients, would you not rather use techniques that have been proven to be successful in reducing negative symptoms?
