The problem is the assumption that any one idea is "Right". I in general disagree with the disease model of psychology but most of people don't and they are genuinely helped by that. Trying to teach them to adopt a more existential model of psychology probably won't help them, it's not one-size fits all. I agree with the author but I also acknowledge this approach doesn't work for everyone. Psychology is based on the idea of "conceptualizations" or in CS lingo, abstractions. No Psych conceptualization actually carves at the joints of nature, they're all imperfect but each works for different situations or people.

[Psychoanalysis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychoanalysis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychoanalysis) is great unless you're you know, not rich and don't have four days a week to do it. We can't get away from "euphamisms" as you call them, but it shouldn't be a treadmill, most should exist side-by-side.
