In An Effort To Curb Bullying Bosses, Hollywood Hires ‘Rage Counselors’

In a classic MADtv sketch featuring Bob Newhart, the legendary comedian plays a therapist who has a simple solution for problems ranging from irrational fears to forming self-destructive relationships … “Stop it!”

This would seem like the obvious response to Hollywood’s current rash of bullying and abuse scandals. But in an industry that never saw an issue it couldn’t complicate with psycho-babble (or responsibility it couldn’t evade with therapy-speak), The Hollywood Reporter says studios and networks are instead turning to another remedy: rage counselors.
