Unfortuantely I tend to disagree that his theories have been "disproven" - looking at the scientific facts that have been put forth - most of the are also unsupported by actual fact - they are just suppositions and theories as well - none of which have been actually scientifically proven. I say unfortunately because so many people are getting bad advice from this new cookbook style analysis and "self-help" that it seems to be destroying the ability for humans to take responsibility for their actions.
Over the last generation I have seen court systems go from sending criminals to jail -to allowing them back on the street due to "severe mental stress at the time of the crime" - and it now goes all the way down to raising kids to think that they should get a reward for going to school (Im sure youve seen the bumper stickers) so that they grow up thinking society "owes" them a living and that there is nothing that they shouldnt have - of course I blame parents for this but they are just getting it from the folly people call the societal psychology now-a-days.
sorry - rant off
