Description

Bad Therapy: Why the Kids Aren't Growing Up

In this thought-provoking investigation, Abigail Shrier examines the impact of mental health overdiagnosis on children. Drawing on hundreds of interviews with experts and individuals affected by the issue, she argues that the problem lies not with the kids themselves, but with the mental health industry's approaches to teaching, treating, disciplining, and communicating with them.

Shrier reveals that many therapeutic methods have serious side effects and few proven benefits, highlighting concerns over talk therapy's potential to induce rumination and 'gentle parenting's' risk of encouraging emotional turbulence in children. A balanced look at the complexities of mental health care for children, Bad Therapy is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand why traditional support strategies may not be working as intended.
