Excerpt of “Saving Talk Therapy”
Can we talk? The world of therapy is changing. Traditional talk therapy is falling by the wayside. Now, it’s pill therapy and new approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ruling the roost. That makes big Pharma and big insurance companies happy, but what about the happiness and well-being of the patients? And what about the science? This hour, On Point: the case for talk therapy. We’re listening. —Jane Clayson
