Bad Therapy, Cultural Seduction, and Children in Crisis — A Conversation with Abigail Shrier
Thinking in Public with Albert Mohler
The Commercialization of Therapy and Cultural Influences
The chapter explores how therapy has become a lucrative business, driven by commercial interests with bestsellers, insurance compensation, and societal pressures. It discusses the shift towards expert advice over informal relationships, the societal view of therapy as a status symbol, potential risks associated with therapy, and the cultural messaging that links childhood trauma to adult struggles. The chapter also delves into the negative impacts of assuming every child has suffered trauma, criticism of treating all children as ill, and historical perspectives on therapy causing demoralization and dependency.
