Therapy: Who Needs It?

Contrary to popular belief, it is inaccurate to think of people as divided into two groups: 1, those who (because they are less healthy) need psychotherapy; and 2, those who (because they are more healthy) have no such need. Rather, our human population is comprised of those who are healthy enough to recognize that expert assistance would probably be helpful and those who are not healthy enough to recognize this fact, or to accept that it applies to them personally. The notion that consumers of mental health services are "less than" with respect to what is "normal" is simply false. One does well to be clear about this. Faking it without making it is never the best option. Choose well.
