Is your therapist biased?
Mental-health professionals are supposed to keep their personal experiences & opinions out of the therapy room. Yet in our sharply divided culture, more appear to be falling short.
My latest column explores the issue.

We've been speaking an average of 338 fewer words a day--each day--since 2005, a new study shows. My latest column looks at what we lose when we give up this small talk--and how we can be better at it.

After decades of urging families to communicate better and work on their issues, some therapists are taking an opposite tack: They're encouraging estrangement. But is this self-care of selfishness?
My latest column explores the question.

In my latest column, I explored how parents of addicts are caught between a rock and a hard place.
Rob Reiner's story is a reminder of the constant struggle of the parents of addicts trying to care for and protect a son or daughter who is self-destructive, indifferent to consequences and possibly dangerous. on.wsj.com/3YbA87V

My latest is on the pissed-off parent pushback–the movement of estranged moms who are fed up and speaking out. Their message: We weren’t bad parents. This is the kids’ fault. Now, my needs come first.

Are you a hypocrite? That depends on whom you ask. Research shows that while we're quick to spot hypocrisy in others--especially our enemies--we have a hard time recognizing it in ourselves.
My latest column offers some guidance on how to curb our own.

Check out @EBernsteinWSJ most recent @WSJ column on the topic of emotional infidelity. With some brief research-based insights from me:
We all have close confidants. But when we share more with someone than we do with our spouse, develop romantic feelings for that person, and keep this intimacy a secret, we may be having an emotional affair.
My latest column explores the issue.
