One vote here to change the name to "Psychotherapy Babble".
Not to be pedantic, but psychology is not just psychotherapy. Psychotherapy is just one application of psychology.
The name always bothered me for that reason.
Plus, the babble that takes place there is heavily focused on therapy issues like transference, crushes on therapists, interpretation of dreams, and so forth. These things aren't really "psychology", but rather psychotherapy (usually of the psychodynamic variety).
That's my vote! Of course, I'm not usually a huge participant there because I prefer a different type of psychotherapy over the type that is predominantly discussed. So you might weigh the votes of the "locals" there more heavily.
