The discussion initiated by Tomasz Witkowski and Pawel Fortuna in the key article “On psycho-business, tolerance and responsibility or strategies employed by pure scientists” gathered 14 discussants, both academic psychologists and psychologists interested in practical applications of knowledge. In this paper, which serves as an introduction to the whole discussion, we attempt to identify the main issues brought up by the discussants. They include: (a) diagnosis of the market of psychological services, (b) causes and mechanisms of pseudo-science and of proliferation of the pseudo-psychological business, (c) relationships between academic and applied psychology, (d) methods of counteracting pseudo-science and pseudo-psychological business. In conclusion we encourage representatives of the psychological community in Poland to enter more willingly into the substantially sound discussions concerning the meeting of academic knowledge and psychological practice.
