You bet! Modern therapy was created to treat the problems of modern life after modern life destroyed all the systems that kept us socially and spiritually healthy.

I remember being a social worker thinking, "You know what, just about every family I work with would be much better off with the money the state is paying for me to talk to them than for me to talk with them."
