Why must self-help resources reflect psychological understandings derived from reliable research?
This is for psychology. Here's my sentence:
Many mainstream psychologists believe that self-help resources often fail to reflect psychological understandings and principles derived from valid and reliable research. Often, they are not evidence-based, meaning that they don’t contain research and scientific evidence to support arguments/opinions. This is not good because..............people like to bullsh*t and rant when they're not qualified to do so?

Let me rephrase your question. Why must self-help resources be proven effective in clinical studies? Because studies have shown that self-help books may be ineffective even if they are the work of qualified professionals. Very few books have been shown to be useful for bibliotherapy.
