NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER.
From the author of Irreversible Damage, an investigation into a mental health industry that is harming, not healing, American children
In virtually every way that can be measured, Gen Z’s mental health is worse than that of previous generations. Youth suicide rates are climbing, antidepressant prescriptions for children are common, and the proliferation of mental health diagnoses has not helped the staggering number of kids who are lonely, lost, sad and fearful of growing up. What’s gone wrong with America’s youth?
In Bad Therapy, bestselling investigative journalist Abigail Shrier argues that the problem isn’t the kids—it’s the mental health experts. Drawing on hundreds of interviews with child psychologists, parents, teachers, and young people, Shrier explores the ways the mental health industry has transformed the way we teach, treat, discipline, and even talk to our kids. She reveals that most of the therapeutic approaches have serious side effects and few proven benefits. Among her unsettling findings:
- Talk therapy can induce rumination, trapping children in cycles of anxiety and depression
- Social Emotional Learning handicaps our most vulnerable children, in both public schools and private
- “Gentle parenting” can encourage emotional turbulence—even violence—in children as they lash out, desperate for an adult in charge
Mental health care can be lifesaving when properly applied to children with severe needs, but for the typical child, the cure can be worse than the disease. Bad Therapy is a must-listen for anyone questioning why our efforts to bolster America’s kids have backfired—and what it will take for parents to lead a turnaround.

A welcome punch in the gut
Waouh!!! I’m sending this book to all my best friends who’ve been struggling as parents of little pol pots, or on their way to grow one.
The analysis is clear, the evidence overwelming. One might righly complain about the author’s abrasive, no-take -prisoner style. I like it. Much too right-leaning to my natural taste, but frankly this concerns pales compared to the welcome
Wisdom provided in those lines.
I came to this book after reading jonathan haidt’s righteous minds, and anxious generation. I’d say it was a useful, almost indispensable first step to bring my liberal guard down when facing anything resembling right wing rant about our loss of valies blabla.
His books are even more brillant, and way better documented than this one. But for someone not that inclined into getting to the nuts and bolts of the bulding of our complicated psyche, bad therapy cuts to the chase and delivers a much needed eye opener, which impact i can only imagine if you happen to raise your kids in the us - i don’t, i’m french, and some of the stuff described in the book sounds like a nerve wrecking dystopia. Unfortunately i can already see the harbingers of it coming to europe. We’ll soon get engulfed into it as well i guess. I’m incredibly happy to know my kids will only have had a brush with it. It’s already too much, but i think it’s still containable.
Good luck, and all my wishes of success to american parents, who’re up to a monumental fight ahead of them. The fight is worth it.
Thanks and cheers to the author.
