Psychotherapist Franca Cerutti knows why so many people in Germany have mental illnesses and how you know when anxiety or sadness becomes a problem. In an interview with the star she talks about her new book and why we are all a little crazy.
You use the word crazy in your book. A term that psychologists do not normally use. Why are you doing it anyway?
Franca Cerutti: In my practice I speak to normal people and I noticed that they themselves often talk about crazy. So “crazy” means nothing more than breaking out of an imagined norm. And “crazy”, we can – I think – hold on to that, we are all more or less.
