Doherty makes a very compelling case for the importance of helping clients reflect on the consequences of their behavior on others, interweaving a poignant social critique of the dangers of the ethos of individualism in contemporary American culture. He compares psychotherapy with trickle-down economics, making you stop and think whether your work with clients might be too focused on the individual, and what you can do to keep the larger community in mind in the consultation room.
