Also, the author of the book is a gross transphobe.

I'm on the waitlist for it at my library. I agree with its premise and hope we as a country can back away from therapy and medication as the recommended treatment for every little trial and tribulation.

Sounds right. I've not heard of the book before but will find it now. Thanks.

A book that is arguing that children actually need less therapy because we are overvalidating every fear and anxiety and making normal childhood distress into a disorder.
