Which would raise the question: so if his pop culture status means that therapists don't actually follow his work, and their appeal is to the masses, then don't his books serve as an advertisement for therapy, leading clients entering therapy to have unrealistic expectations of it, of unconditional love or reparenting or whatever? Also a problem.
