Therapists Blamed for Adults Cutting Off Their Parents

from Philip Teresi · host KMJ

The WSJ article argues that a growing number of researchers and parents are questioning whether some therapists are too quick to endorse family estrangement. Critics say therapy culture has become overly focused on trauma and individual well-being at the expense of reconciliation, while defenders argue that distancing oneself from genuinely harmful relationships can be an important part of recovery. The article ultimately presents the issue as an ongoing debate within both therapy and family-relationship research.
