Drawing on established science and common sense, Christina Sommers and Dr. Sally Satel reveal how 'therapism' and the burgeoning trauma industry have come to pervade our lives, with a host of troubling consequences, including: *The myth of stressed-out, homework-burdened, hyper-competitive, and depressed schoolchildren in need of therapy and medication *The loss of moral bearings in our approach to lying, crime, and addiction *The unasked-for 'grief counselors' who descend on bereaved families, schools, and communities following a tragedy Intelligent, provocative, and wryly amusing, One Nation Under Therapy demonstrates that 'talking about' problems is no substitute for confronting them.
