Why have terms like “narcissism,” “ADHD,” and “burnout” become part of our everyday conversation? And how did psychology leave its quiet clinic to become a populist discourse that explains every feeling, interferes in every relationship, and convinces everyone that they need psychological treatment?

This book explores how we have come to live under a “therapeutic culture” that convinces us that we are all victims of parental abuse, toxic relationships, and psychological trauma. It also highlights how the mission of psychology has shifted from treating real patients to a discourse that intervenes in every detail of our lives, relationships, thoughts, and feelings.

This book does not claim that psychology is inherently evil, but rather that it has become so unrestrained that it must be stopped and returned to its original purpose: treating genuine patients who truly need treatment. The intrusion of psychology into social media seems to be doing more harm than good, perhaps because of its encroachment into social spheres that were once governed and regulated by Islam.
