Actually a very good article. I am a psychotherapist (psychoanalyst) with over eighteen years of experience. I took a career detour and have been in cutting edge IT for about twelve years until recently. I think I'm in a fairly unique position to understand these issues.
I'm interested in what is being said about depression and Asperger's syndrome.
I do think that therapists, especially US therapists, are too ready to diagnose a syndrome and this is not helpful.
Usually the issue is that the technologist is involved in focussing on organising a mass of dynamically changing detail. This is very taxing.
But there are ways to work with this therapeutically.
