Quotes by William M. Epstein (?)

“Psychotherapy only has social meaning; its pervasiveness is explained not by what it does with patients in the clinic but rather by its ideological content - its affirmation of central social values, notably a misguided sense of individualism that is disingenuously heroic and that may be socially destructive.”
― William M. Epstein, Psychotherapy As Religion: The Civil Divine In America

“The field [of psychotherapy] persists as a popular cultural institution elaborating the cherished habits of the American people. Psychotherapy is one of the culture's socializing institutions, performing a largely symbolic role in promoting the American religion of an impossible and perhaps even cruel individualism.”
― William M. Epstein, Psychotherapy As Religion: The Civil Divine In America

“[T]he entire field is pseudoscientific and best understood as an elaborate mysticism only differentiated from frank religion, even its crackpot fringes, by seemingly modern orientation and the cant of science.”
