Public ISBD Titre : One Nation Under Therapy Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Christina Hoff Sommers ; Sally Satel Année de publication : 2006 Langues : Français Catégories : Injonction thérapeutique Projet thérapeutique Résilience Société Sociologie Mots-clés : Résilience  Projet thérapeutique  Injonction thérapeutique  Société  Sociologie Résumé : How the Helping Culture Is Eroding Self-Reliance Americans have traditionally placed great value on self-reliance and fortitude. In recent deca-des,however, we have seen the rise of a therapeu-tic ethic that views Americans as emotionally un-derdeveloped, psychically frail, and requiring the ministrations of mental health professionals. To-day-with a book for every ailment, a lawsuit for every grievance and a TV show for every conceiva-ble problem-we are at risk of degrading our na-tive ability to cope with life's challenges. Drawing on established science and common sense, Christi-na Sommers and Dr. Sally Satel reveal how thera-pism and the burgeoning trauma industry have come to pervade our lives, with a host of troubling consequences, including: *The myth of stressed-out, homework-burdened, hyper-competitive, and depressed schoolchildren in need of therapy and medication *The loss of moral bearings in our approach to lying, crime, and addiction *The unas-ked-for grief counselors who descend on bereaved families, schools, and communities following a tragedy Intelligent, provocative, and wryly amusing, One Nation Under Therapy demonstrates that talking about problems is no substitute for confronting them.
