Collective consciousness refers to a group belief which encourages its followers to see the group's principle as the unifying force for the whole society.

(...) Saleem is probably seeing a family therapist.
Family therapy is a form of treatment that is designed to address specific issues affecting the health of a family. It is used to help a family through a difficult period of time (a major transition or mental/behavioral health problems). In this type of therapy problems cannot be successfully solved without understanding the dynamics of the group. In family therapy, the term “family” does not necessarily mean blood relatives.
<em>A therapist is a licensed mental health professional that helps clients improve their lives (cope with various challenges), develop better emotional skills, and reduce symptoms of mental illness.</em>
