Psychotherapy in the 21st Century

So, um, where did Benedict Carey come up with the idea of taking these ueber-therapists to Disneyland? ("Narcissists of the Caribbean?" I don't get it.) And isn't Martin Seligman kind of, er, a lightweight? And Albert Ellis is kind of, er, past his expiration date? (I suspect the "standing ovation" he received has more to do with his age, 92, than with anything else -- of course this is glossed over.) The whole exercise and subsequent article seem somewhat less than entirely serious.

Cool cartoon, in any event...
