- rapsey 7y agoReading all the psychology books in the world will not help one who is going through one or more of these issues. Calling them soft sciences is the most generous categorization they deserve.
- n4r9 7y agoI disagree. Reading about psychology can provide you with a framework for understanding your own thought patterns and the behaviour of others. It's also often helpful to know that what you're going through isn't uniquely catastrophic; that it's part of the human condition which others have experienced and worked through. These may not work as fast or effectively as a therapist - especially in the acute phases - but they'd help considerably.
