I like to think that any professional, not just therapists,
would laugh at their fictional counterparts. I assure you that Drs. Frasier
Crane and Hannibal Lecter are hardly representative of the majority of us.
No, authors most likely convey therapists as empathetic,
conservatively dressed, with degrees artfully hung on the wall in a tasteful
but somewhat intimidating manner. They
come across the page as a wise sage archetype, doling out nuggets that change
or alter the hero’s life or perspective.
And yes, I do laugh at this depiction, because therapists
don’t come in a one-shrink-fits-all size.
