Resisting Therapy Culture

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“If someone you love or a pastor you listen to has embraced therapy culture, this is the book to read or recommend. Matthew Loftus, who knows suffering, critiques trendy self-care and wellness importunings, along with over-medicalization and underappreciation for normal cycles of stress and rest. Freud, Fromm, Maslow, Rogers, and others rise and fall, but Christ is still the best doctor, compassion the best embrace, and resilience rather than reliance on drugs the best goal.”
