Psychologist Esra Özbey made a striking claim regarding the increasing divorce rates in recent years in a video she shared on her social media account. Pointing to her colleagues as the cause of divorces, Özbey argued that family therapists' emphasis on individual happiness and love in marriage has harmed the institution of family.

Özbey suggested that therapists' constant emphasis on "feeling valued" and "love" for their clients has reduced tolerance between spouses, triggering separations.
Özbey's statements quickly became a hot topic on social media, sparking a significant debate among experts and users. While some followers supported Özbey's criticism of "individualization," many experts pointed out that the root causes of divorces are much more complex, including economic conditions, social change, and violence.
