A hair rising work indeed. Are we only surrounded by criminals who want
our money and health? The author worked hard as a Dr. of psychology to
produce good fruits of her business, but all that came out was shocking.
She says that psychology presents itself as a concerned and caring
profession working for the good of the clients. But in its wake lie
damaged people, divided families, distorted justice, destroyed companies
and a weakened society. Behind the benevolent façade is a voracious
self-deserving industry that proffers facts which are often unfounded,
provides therapy which can be damaging to its recipients, and exerts
influence which is having devastating effects on the social fabric.
The foundation of modern psychology, its questioning, has at the very
least been largely abandoned in favour of power and profit, leaving only
the guise of integrity, a show of arrogance and a well-tuned attention
to the bottom line. "What seemed once a responsible profession is now a
big business whose success is directly related to how many people become
users."
No matter where one turns, one finds the effects of the psychology
industry. Its influence extends across all aspects of life, telling us
how to work, how to live, how to love and, even, how to play. We are
confronted by psychologists expounding their theories on the endless
list of TV talk-shows.
It is not new that psychology has become an influential force or that
society is becoming more and more filled with people who consider
themselves victims of one sort or other. But the author shows that new
is that psychology is itself manufacturing most of these victims, that
it is doing this with motives based on power and profit, and that the
industry turns people into dependent "users", with no escape from
their problems. The psychiatrist Garth Wood goes even further in his
book "Overcoming the illness excuse when he says that "what has become
big business is in fact a fraud. The evidence does not support the
claims of psychoanalysis and psychotherapy." Possibly most
people do not want the alternative. They want to escape from their
spiritual problems because a change to the better would entail changing
their hearts. Who wants this?
