“The first dirty little secret of biological 
psychiatry and of clinical psychology is that 
they both have given up the notion of cure. Cure 
takes too long if it can be done at all, and only 
briet treatment is reimbursed by insurance 
companies. So therapy and drugs are now entirely 
about short -term crisis management and about 
dispensing cosmetic treatments. …
“There are two kinds of medications: cosmetic 
drugs and curative drugs. … Every single drug on 
the shelf of the psychopharmacopoeia is cosmetic.

Seligman, Flourish, 2011, p 46
