In psychotherapy, there is a strong tendency, or modern tradition, that tends to practice like this: "make him grinning, make him moving his lips accordingly, then he is happy, and healed." Unfortunately it has a high level of influence, although most therapists don't realise it and would distance themselves from it, it is hidden deep inside the theories and concepts. It's already an engineer's approach. One of the things that has driven me away from psychology back then. Also, there is a growing and already strong tendency to define mental health by only one criteria. "If he can't go to work in his job, he is ill. If he is made to go to his job, he is healthy again." That may be true with cars, though.

The more productive a man is, the healthier he must be.
