Is it socially healthy for someone who is a known addict, who has mocked the underprivileged American public, has been in rehab and claims he still drinks (I’m assuming to feel sane), to then play a therapist in a comedic sitcom? Is it comedy to play a therapist when one does not understand the mechanics of therapy, nor knows the various assessment models and how they apply?
I guess we’re going to find out because this is what we are apparently about to buy into on the new FX show “Anger Management”, where Charlie Sheen plays a therapist. In my view, this is neither funny, socially healthy and it seems rather obvious that Charlie Sheen is in pursuit of further self-indulgence with reckless disregard of the social harm he is doing to our youth and to people who are thinking about getting sober.
