are we the starved?

Those who are well fed seldom think about food
but for the hungry this becomes a consuming preoccupation.
And for modern people, the self has likewise become an obsession.

We are the starved.

How else can we explain the fact that
America has half the world's clinical psychologists
and one third of the world's psychiatrists?
Over approximately the last thirty years,
the number of clinical psychologists has increased 350%,
clinical social workers 320%, and family counselors 680%,
so that today we have two psychotherapists
for every dentist and there are more counselors than librarians.
