Disclaimer
What this material is, what it is not, and the limits that apply to every page of this website.
Version 1.0 · effective 18 August 2026 · forms part of the terms of use
Not professional advice
Everything published by Pairwise is editorial and informational. It is not therapy, counselling, psychotherapy, psychiatric care, medical advice, legal advice, or financial advice, and it is not a substitute for any of them. It is not diagnosis, assessment, or treatment of any condition. No qualification is claimed and none is implied. Anyone seeking professional care should consult a licensed practitioner in their own country.
Not personalised
Articles describe research conducted with particular participants under particular conditions. They are not written for, about, or in response to any individual. Pairwise holds no information about any reader's relationship, history, circumstances, or state of mind, forms no view about them, and presumes nothing about them. Nothing on this website should be read as a statement about the person reading it.
No claim of outcome
No representation is made that reading this material will produce any result. Research findings describe patterns observed across groups of participants; they do not predict what happens for any particular person. Group-level associations are not individual forecasts, and correlation reported in a study is not evidence of cause unless the study was designed to test causation and says so.
No testimonials
This website publishes no testimonials, reviews, success stories, case histories, or before-and-after accounts, and does not use them in advertising. None has been solicited. Any such material presented elsewhere as originating from Pairwise did not originate from Pairwise.
Accuracy and currency
Articles are written from the published literature as it stood on the date shown. Research changes, findings are contested, and re-analyses appear. Material is reviewed periodically, but no undertaking is given that every article reflects the most recent state of a debate at the moment it is read. Errors are corrected as described on the about page.
External sources
Links to journals, universities, and other external sites are provided so that cited work can be located. Pairwise does not control those sites, does not endorse their content, and is not responsible for their availability or their handling of personal data.
Urgent situations
This website is not a crisis service. The support inbox is read during business hours only and is not monitored for urgent messages. Anyone in immediate danger, or concerned for the safety of another person, should contact local emergency services or a licensed professional in their own country without delay. Emergency numbers and crisis lines differ by country; the correct number is the local one.
Age
This website is intended for adults aged 18 or over.
Jurisdiction
Pairwise publishes from Brazil. Material is written for a general international readership and does not account for the law, healthcare system, or professional regulation of any particular country.
