The article discusses the adaptability inherent in academic scholarship, emphasizing its importance for combating stagnation and burnout. The author introduces 'The Credibility Project', aimed at enhancing the credibility of professional psychology through evidence-based practices. Credibility is viewed as essential for facilitating behavioral change, influenced both by actual effectiveness and public perception. It warns of growing skepticism towards experts and calls for renewed emphasis on accurate, research-supported practices that resonate with various stakeholders in the profession.
