HumanTangle is an independent publication founded by Rehan Anjum and operated by Enterobiz LLC.
HumanTangle publishes general informational and educational material about recurring human patterns, behavior, choices, beliefs, relationships, responsibility and change. Its articles, book, videos, examples and other materials are intended to help readers examine questions more carefully. They are not individualized professional services.
HumanTangle does not provide diagnosis, treatment, psychotherapy, medical advice, psychiatric assessment or individualized mental-health care.
The same boundary applies to HumanTangle: What Pulls Us.
This book is for general informational and educational purposes. It does not provide diagnosis, treatment, psychotherapy, medical advice or individualized mental-health care. Psychological research describes patterns and probabilities; it does not identify the private motive of a particular person without case-specific evidence.
Nothing published by HumanTangle should be used as a substitute for appropriate care from a qualified professional who can consider an individual person’s circumstances directly.
HumanTangle may discuss psychological concepts, psychiatric diagnoses, habits, biases, attachment, self-esteem, fear, avoidance, motivation, social influence and other subjects that overlap with psychology or mental health.
Discussing a concept does not mean that HumanTangle is diagnosing the reader, another person or anybody described in a public event.
Observed behavior does not automatically reveal a private motive, diagnosis, personality structure or hidden psychological cause.
Where several explanations could fit the same behavior, HumanTangle aims to keep that uncertainty visible rather than presenting speculation as fact.
HumanTangle draws from research and documented evidence where those sources materially help answer a question.
Research findings may depend on the population studied, the way a concept was measured, the circumstances of the study, the quality of the evidence and later research. A finding that describes a pattern across a group does not automatically explain why one particular person behaved as they did.
HumanTangle aims to represent evidence proportionately and to distinguish established findings from interpretation, uncertainty and competing explanations.
Research can also change. New studies, corrections, reanalyses or better evidence may affect how an earlier finding should be understood.
HumanTangle may include personal experiences from founder and author Rehan Anjum where they are genuinely relevant.
Those experiences are presented as personal experience, not as scientific evidence that the same explanation applies to somebody else.
A diagnosis, treatment experience, personal decision or life event may matter to the person who experienced it without becoming a general explanation for human behavior.
HumanTangle does not promise that reading an article, watching a video or reading HumanTangle: What Pulls Us will change a particular behavior, resolve a psychological difficulty, improve a relationship, produce a medical outcome or create any other guaranteed personal result.
Understanding something can be useful without making change automatic.
The purpose of HumanTangle is to support more careful examination of a question, not to guarantee what happens afterward.
HumanTangle may discuss choices, consequences, constraints, responsibility and possible ways of examining a situation.
General information cannot account for every fact that may matter in an individual decision.
Readers remain responsible for deciding whether information is relevant to their circumstances and for seeking appropriate professional advice where a decision requires medical, mental-health, legal, financial or other specialized guidance.
HumanTangle may cite or link to research papers, institutions, publications, public records and other third-party sources.
A citation or link means the source is relevant to the material being discussed. It does not mean HumanTangle endorses everything published by that source, controls the source or guarantees that an external page will remain available or unchanged.
HumanTangle aims to publish carefully, but errors are possible.
If you believe a factual claim, citation or source has been represented incorrectly, you can contact HumanTangle through the Contact page. Legitimate corrections are reviewed on their merits.
HumanTangle cannot evaluate an individual person’s health or provide urgent assistance.
If you need medical or mental-health care, contact an appropriately qualified professional who can assess your circumstances directly. If you believe there is an immediate risk of serious harm or a medical emergency, contact the emergency services available where you are.
