“In Hollywood if you don’t have a shrink, people think you’re crazy,” said Johnny Carson. As a psychologist who has been practicing for fifty years, Diament still has questions. How effective is psychotherapy? Can psychotherapy help anyone? Who should get psychotherapy? Can effective psychotherapy be relatively short? How does psychotherapy compare to medication? What makes for an effective psychotherapist?
