Bad Therapy: Why the Kids Aren't Growing Up

Abigail Shrier

• Widespread coverage guaranteed – Abigail’s previous book, Irreversible Damage, was the subject of huge controversy worldwide, but also a Book of the Year in The Economist and The Times

• Irreversible Damage has now sold 20,000 copies in Swift editions, including 6,000 hardbacks and 11,000 paperbacks

• Bad Therapy retains a focus on teenagers and mental health – in this case, how an overly strong focus on validating feelings is leading, paradoxically, to much less resilient young adults

• Based on extensive research and interviews with doctors, parents, therapists and young people, Bad Therapy is intensely readable and thought-provoking, and sure once more to spark widespread debate
