Bad Therapy

In Bad Therapy, journalist Abigail Shrier explores why today’s children and teens seem more anxious, depressed, and emotionally fragile than ever, despite growing up in a world saturated with therapy, emotional check-ins, and protective parenting.

Through interviews with psychologists, parents, educators, and young people themselves, she builds a case against the widespread but often uncritical embrace of therapy culture in schools and homes. Her central claim: therapy should be used with care, not as a blanket solution for childhood struggles.
