- Short Description:
- Cloe Madanes highlights the value of prioritizing relationships over individual pathology in family therapy. She critiques the influence of Big Pharma and managed care, warning against overmedication and noting that antidepressants show only a 10% improvement over placebos. Case examples include a suicidal man who regained joy and a young woman with epilepsy who improved through family therapy. Dr. Thomas Szasz adds a libertarian perspective, arguing that mental illness can become a self-fulfilling prophecy shaped by economic and political forces. Moderated by Bernhard Trenkle, Dipl. Psych.

- Short Description:
- Robbins and Madanes address five major challenges facing modern therapy: overreliance on medication, managed care, declining therapist income, rigid protocols, and inadequate training. They introduce human needs psychology as a practical, transformative framework built on six core needs...certainty, variety, significance, connection, growth, and contribution. Emphasizing lasting change through meaning and relationships, they advocate for personal growth over quick fixes, with medication as a last resort.
