Not only do psychologists sell supposed cures for a high price, but they also invent diseases for which the cures are needed. Their marketing strategy has been effective. Invent problems or difficulties, harp on them until people think they are hopelessly afflicted, then peddle a remedy. Some of the supposed problems of our culture are pathetically trite: self-image, looks, co-dependency, emotional abuse, mid-life crisis, and unfulfilled expectations. Today’s “infirmities” were once seen more accurately as the pains of selfishness.
