New Age therapy

any of a number of popular treatments that lack a sound scientific basis and are generally not accepted by health professionals as valid, effective therapeutic practice. Support for such therapies does not come from independent scientific studies but typically is derived primarily from the “insights” and observations of their founders or from participant feedback. An example of a New Age therapy is rebirthing.
