D., and the soul of a take-no-prisoners Italian Matriarch. Bubbling with charm, vivacity, and\nalways at the ready with an honest-but-kind dose of straight-talk, Dr. V is known for taking a match to what she calls the useless “neo-folk wisdom of pop psychology,” which she believes is deeply damaging, even as it pretends to lend insight into the human condition. We live in a world of Instagram “Inspira-porn”--ubiquitous inspirational quotes and truisms we eat up, readily accepting them as useful guidelines to living a fulfilling life.
