Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Will an expansion of access to cognitive-behavioural therapy lead to greater happiness? Summerfield and Veale debate this question by focusing on the nature of mental distress and the best evidence for ameliorating it. Stimulating though it is, their debate left me wondering about the wider philosophical and ethical implications behind our rush to therapy. |
