BAD THERAPY:
Why the Kids Aren’t Growing Up
By Abigail Shrier
Swift Press. 320 pages. £20
ISBN 978 1 800 754 133

As an investigative journalist, Abigail Shrier began looking into the unintended (sometimes harmful) results of therapy for young people while researching her first book, Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing our Daughters.

This second book is wider in scope. At a time when so much attention is given to ‘gentle parenting’ (US) or ‘positive parenting’ (UK), when parents are told to focus on ensuring that children are happy and safe at all times, why do we see so many children and young people suffering anxiety and depression?
