'Professor Furedi has written an important book ... which is essential to the understanding of our times.'
- Theodore Dalrymple, Sunday Telegraph
'"If you give it your little finger it will soon have your whole hand," Sigmund Freud said of psychoanalysis in 1900. He had obviously seen the future. As sociology professor Frank Furedi says in his new book Therapy Culture, we live in a culture that takes emotions very seriously.' - Ursula Kenny, The Observer
'Furedi forensically examines this brave new emotional world: the rush of counsellors to the site of every trauma, the ways in which economic problems are recast as psychological phenomena, the cult of the Victim, the decline of political activism.' - Melissa Benn, The Independent
'Therapy is indeed the new opium of the people, as Frank Furedi makes clear in this fascinating, readable - and disturbing - book.' - Virginia Ironside, The Independent
Forensically examines this brave new emotional world - The Independent
This is what our life is all about. Instead of seeking a treatment for it, we should try living it. - The Times
'Can it really be such a bad thing that we are now more aware of the place of mental health in our make-up? Furedi leaves us in no doubt that the therapy culture has invaded our media, our workplace, our intimate relationships and our politics. It is an interesting polemic. We should be grateful for the balance this book inspires'

'Furedi gives us much food for thought that we would do well to consider ... This book highlights the dichotomy between schools as centres of learning or of socialisation.' - Alan McLean, Times Education Supplement (Scotland)
