Über diesen Titel

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER.

From the author of Irreversible Damage, an investigation into a mental health industry that is harming, not healing, American children


In virtually every way that can be measured, Gen Z’s mental health is worse than that of previous generations. Youth suicide rates are climbing, antidepressant prescriptions for children are common, and the proliferation of mental health diagnoses has not helped the staggering number of kids who are lonely, lost, sad and fearful of growing up. What’s gone wrong with America’s youth?

In Bad Therapy, bestselling investigative journalist Abigail Shrier argues that the problem isn’t the kids—it’s the mental health experts. Drawing on hundreds of interviews with child psychologists, parents, teachers, and young people, Shrier explores the ways the mental health industry has transformed the way we teach, treat, discipline, and even talk to our kids. She reveals that most of the therapeutic approaches have serious side effects and few proven benefits. Among her unsettling findings:

  • Talk therapy can induce rumination, trapping children in cycles of anxiety and depression
  • Social Emotional Learning handicaps our most vulnerable children, in both public schools and private
  • “Gentle parenting” can encourage emotional turbulence – even violence – in children as they lash out, desperate for an adult in charge

Mental health care can be lifesaving when properly applied to children with severe needs, but for the typical child, the cure can be worse than the disease. Bad Therapy is a must-read for anyone questioning why our efforts to bolster America’s kids have backfired—and what it will take for parents to lead a turnaround.

Am relevantesten
A fierce critique of psychotherapy the Therapeutic Parenting of the last decades, that confirms my doubts I have had for 20 years regarding the extremely permissive, child centered parenting style.
The author exposes the consequences this has for young people on the verge of adulthood, things we see everyday and that are cause for concern. They don’t seem to bother want or, even worse, be unable to grow up.
Young people’s mental health is at a historic record low.
In the second half of this audiobook the author gives a examples on how to take matters away from therapists and schools, back into the parents’/family’s hands to give youngsters the space so needed to learn and thrive.

Very refreshing, deeply humane, no-nonsense.
