Phyllis E. Leavitt has recently authored a book titled "America in Therapy: A New Approach To Hope And Healing For A Nation In Crisis." In this work, she addresses the pressing need to bring the entire country to therapy in a manner unprecedented. Drawing from her extensive experience as both a client and a psychotherapist with over 30 years of involvement in individual and family dysfunction and abuse, Leavitt feels a profound calling to share her knowledge with the public. Her book delves into the principles of psychotherapy and how they can be applied to help heal the nation from the rising issues of hatred, divisiveness, and violence.
Leavitt's message is aimed at individuals who share concerns for their children and future generations, offering guidance for those who may feel hopeless or unsure of how to contribute to creating a more loving and sustainable world. Through personal stories, client case studies, and professional expertise, she communicates her urgent yet hopeful perspective in language accessible to the general public. Leavitt argues that the country is on a dangerous trajectory toward its own extinction, presenting it as a national and global mental health crisis that requires attention.
The author explores the direct link between destructive family dynamics at the individual level and the behaviors of powerful institutions and leaders. She emphasizes that millions are suffering the effects of national psychological dysfunction without full awareness. Leavitt asserts that solutions for healing human relations and restoring peace already exist in the field of psychotherapy, offering hope for a national conversation. She believes that effective psychotherapy can interrupt the cycle of violence, providing the best chance for prevention, but acknowledges the need for a fundamental reversal of certain beliefs and dynamics governing the country.
Leavitt shares her insights in a way that goes beyond common understanding, revealing what is necessary to restore safety and how everyone, regardless of their sphere of influence, can contribute to the healing process. She expresses a desire to share her message of hope and healing on podcasts, thanking the audience for their time and consideration.
