Is therapy overrated?
In December, Scott wrote a No Mercy / No Malice arguing that therapy has been oversold as a cultural cure-all. In this Deep Dive, he tests that thesis with Dr. Jonathan Shedler, a clinical psychologist and researcher best known for his work on the effectiveness of psychodynamic therapy. Paid subscribers only, so if you want in, you’ll have to upgrade here.
I missed this one since it’s paid-only. I’m a Chicago native who writes about psychology and power dynamics from abroad, mostly the moments that force people to face their own self-image, so this topic is close to what I do. Curious if there’s ever a free version of these?
