Cured would mean you are healed . No more therapeutics , no more abnormalities

[everyday7732]

Healing probably is the wrong analogy.

Is a person with a crutch healed? No. But they can walk, when before they could not. Therapy can't erase the past, but it can give people tools to live more capable and rich lives. A crutch doesn't regrow an amputated leg, but it does help that person handle the injury, so in that sense, it 'works'.

the psyche is not the same as the body, the model of “disease”/treatment/cure is not the same and analogies are of limited utility

I dare you to find a single person without "abnormalities"

[tonymet]

Then which ones is therapy aiming to fix?

[plewd]

Those that start negatively impacting day-to-day life significantly, although I believe nearly everyone can benefit from some sort of therapy.
