I guess I need some feedback from the clinicians around here. There is an article on the Wall Street Journal website that describes what might be a new trend among certain "psychotherapists", namely, trying to cut down on the whining their clients/patients do. See:
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702304192704577404083592261456.html Is this "Just Stop Whining" movement new? I seem to remember that there were "tough love" approaches before in psychotherapy but people seem to like the whole "unconditional acceptance" approach, especially if they can afford weekly session themselves and their insurance doesn't limit them to manualized treatments. I would agree that there seems to be much more popular support for whining in the culture -- you can get your reality TV show if you're a good whiner -- but therapists declaring "no whining zones" seems a little extreme.
