Jan Derksen,
professor of clinical psychology at the Radboud University, in Nijmegen, has
published a new book. In it, he claims
that Dutch children are becoming increasingly narcissistic, and are no longer
used to dealing with reality. They are
used to being brought by car to their piano courses or to the sports club. They no longer need to bicycle through the rain. According to Derksen, the fact that they are
so spoiled, and cannot weather misfortune, are the main reasons why the mental
healthcare costs of Dutch society have doubled from 3 to 6 billion euros per year. 40%
of mental health patients of this GGZ Program are less than 25 years old.
