I was trying to convince someone else who wanted factual studies. I can't find any. Only Dr. Harley's anecdotal experiences, which were not convincing to them.

Here is one of the most in depth studies done on the subject: http://www.dearshrink.com/psychotherapy_consumer_report1995_seligman.pdfAnother good resource is One Nation Under Therapy: How the Helping Culture Is Eroding Self-Reliance by Christina Hoff Sommers, Dr. Sally, M.D. Satel
