Americans have traditionally placed great value on self-reliance and fortitude. Latest decades, however, have observed the rise of the healing ethic that sights Americans as emotionally underdeveloped, requiring the ministrations of mental medical researchers to cope with life’s vicissitudes.

Drawing on set up science and common sense, the writers uncover how “therapism” as well as the burgeoning trauma sector attended to pervade our lives. Topical, provocative, and wryly amusing, One Country under Therapy demonstrates that “discussing” problems is normally no substitute for confronting them.
