heey Venkat, just read your Atlantic article on mobilising for climate change being analogous to WW2’s mobilisations. Brilliant - but it’s from a few years ago. How have your views changed? Also, any reading recos?

I agree. Tons of mediocrity out there. No way to know who is going to really help you. Best one can do is get a personal reference and even then......what is the measure of a “good” therapist?

a lot of therapy outcomes research out there. a small amount (5%) of ppl "deteriorate," but nobody asking anymore IF therapy works--evidence of efficacy is overwhelming. the right Qs are WHY does it work and why outcomes haven't improved in the last 30 yrs.

Do these studies control for self-selection, survivorship bias, and most importantly, variance in provider quality? I’m sure therapy works — under lab trial conditions holding provider quality at a high standard. Not so sure about Podunk U. strip-mall therapy world.

This tweet is irresponsible. I have known several people with serious mental health disorders over the years (schizophrenia and bi-polar). The ones who got treatment are at the top of their fields, have wonderful relationships. The ones who didn't started screaming like animals.

Actually it’s because the illness makes seeking help impossibly hard.
