I'm not very familiar with the practices in therapy training programs in the US, so I can't comment on the issues outlined in this article. However, based on the relevant literature and obvious common-sense observations, the massive failure of mainstream therapy in the US is evident. One reason for this failure is the heavy bias towards developmental psychology, which is dominant in the US. Not all mental health problems can be explained by problematic childhood, and not all normal difficulties of growing up should be pathologized and labeled as debilitating traumas. Dwelling on negative feelings, pathologizing normal emotions, dispensing mental health diagnoses liberally, putting younger and younger kids and teens on psychotropic medication, - all are the signs of the massive failure of the profession. These kinds of damaging trends in mainstream therapy in the US have gone too far to the extreme of damaging the entire generation turning the kids and teens into a neurotic mess unable to deal with real life.
