Pros

People seem to gravitate toward simple, and not very creative, regurgitations of old timeworn ideas. It is hard for me to comprehend how someone could write a book suggesting that and still have it published.

I think its high time we start to reject the pitifully ineffective diseasedisorder paradigm of mental health which has been corrupted by the vices of allopathic medicine which does have its virtues in other contexts and start to embrace the more humanistic holistic positive growth teleological wink wink approaches to psychology and mental health
