Bad Therapy: Why the Kids Aren't Growing Up by Abigail Shrier
5.0
Pt 1 : Healers Can Harm
Ch 1 : Iatrogensis (an entire book could be written here, not just on mental health but every aspect of public health, physical and emotional)
Ch 2 : A crisis in the era of therapy
Particularly struck by how many of the top professionals say xyz is a bad idea, but then people with a weekend certificate are running all over implementing these horrible plans.
Ch 3 : Bad Therapy (had either 10 or 11 "Rules" need a poster with these).
Pt 2 : therapy goes airborne
Ch 4 : social-emotional meddling, the darkside of social emotional learning and why it is total rubbish, bad for adults, terrible for kids. Plus, the removal of ethical guardrails in schools and the blurring of lines between therapists and teachers.
Ch 5 : The schools are full of shadows, giving students fidget toys will lean they fidget less and pay attention less because they are playing with toys instead of listening... duh.
Ch 6 : Trauma Kings
Ch 7: Hunting Fishing Mining, Mental Health Survey Mischief
Ch 8: Full of Empathy and Mean as Hell
Ch 9: The Road Paved by Gentle Parents
Ch 10: Spare the Rod, Drug the Child
Pt 3 : Maybe there's nothing wrong with our kids
Ch 11: This will be our final session
Ch 12: Spoons Out
This book is another phenomenal piece by Mrs. Shrier, I preodered the very first day it could be ordered and have been impatiently waiting. Binged the whole thing today, and I will have to take a slower read through over the weekend. My audiobook was about 30 minutes a chapter, I now have the paper copy on its way, AND I am now hoping to see a book on iatrogenic medicine from Mrs. Shrier.
