Most of the recipes of the ‘human potential’ movement for
personal relationships and ‘self-actualization’ are prescriptions for emotional
and spiritual sloth. From cradle to
grave, life is to be avoided by therapies, even when they are disguised as
something else.” -Henry Fairlie, The Seven
Deadly Sins
There is truth here, not absolute truth, for sometimes
therapy is the response to a problem and aids its resolution. Yet, therapy is also a luxury that ban be evasive
and props up the ego. Nothing more.
