“From the concept of the therapeutic state, we can derive the iatrogenic state. That means just as the former approach encourages clients, patients, or citizens to seek healing in the identification of external forces of trauma, their condition worsens. In other words, iatrogenesis has become a problem not only in therapeutic practice, but also in society, as agents of the state have unsuccessfully extended the therapeutic mentality as the solution to most social issues. It has become increasingly clear that the Democrats have evolved into the Mommy Party and the Republicans the Daddy Party. And as each party pushes into unhealthy extremes, more of their followers become unhealthy extremists.” (09/02/25)
