"Therapy Nation" book cover design

Therapy Nation

Jonathan Alpert's latest non-fiction title, published by HarperCollins is adorned with a surreal cover by Diego Abreu.

For 'Therapy Nation: How America Got Hooked on Therapy and Why It’s Left Us More Anxious and Divided', Diego's art reimagines the Statue of Liberty in a surprising way, lying on a therapist’s couch with her eyes closed, caught in a moment of quiet reflection. Stripped of her usual green and shown instead in soft grey-ivory tones, she feels familiar but slightly unmoored.

There’s a dry humour in the concept, but it never tips away from the book’s more serious thread, echoing its questions around therapy culture, identity, and the collective state of mind.
