Therapy Nation

In Therapy Nation, acclaimed psychotherapist Jonathan Alpert presents a thought-provoking examination of therapy culture in America, highlighting how it has transformed our interactions and societal norms. Despite increased accessibility to mental health resources, Alpert reveals a troubling rise in anxiety and depression, suggesting that the very practices intended to promote healing may instead be fostering weakness. He critiques the overuse of therapeutic concepts in public discourse and argues for a shift in focus from mere affirmation to genuine accountability. Drawing on case studies, Alpert advocates for a necessary reevaluation of the therapeutic profession to better address the needs of individuals and communities.
