Description

This week, Dr. Drew talks with Dr. Andrew Hartz, founder of the Open Therapy Institute, about the growing influence of political bias in the mental health field. Dr. Hartz explains how therapy has shifted away from being patient-centered, with an increasing number of therapists imposing their political ideologies during sessions. They discuss how this trend is affecting therapy training programs, pushing out students who don’t conform, and how self-censorship has contributed to rising isolation and mental health struggles.

Dr. Hartz also shares how the Open Therapy Institute is offering an alternative—focusing on unbiased, patient-centered therapy—and emphasizes the importance of resilience, open dialogue, and critical thinking in helping patients navigate today’s polarized world.
