Addicted to consultants/ consultant dependency

Adrian Furnham

A chapter in Management and Myths, 2004, pp 24-25 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract For a long time critics have argued that psychotherapy makes things worse not better. Psychotherapists, it is argued, diminish the dignity, autonomy and freedom of those that come for help. Therapy is a form of social control: it is an assault on the freedom of the individual (patient). It is a way of coercing people to believe according to the dictates of other people and to believe things about themselves and their experiences which quite simply are not true.
