Phyllis Leavitt will discuss her book “America in Therapy: A New Approach to Hope and Healing for a Nation in Crisis” at 5:30 p.m. Saturday, July 6, at SOMOS Salon.
Leavitt, a Taos psychotherapist, said that the more she worked with widespread family dysfunction and its legacy of pain and violence, the more she realized that the greatest threat to our survival as a country and as a species is our declining mental health.
SOMOS Salon is located at 108 Civic Plaza Drive, Taos.
