A growing number of millionaires are turning to an equally growing number of psychologists specializing in Wealth Psychology which can be defined as, “Issues surrounding Wealth and Affluenza such as sudden wealth syndrome, health and wealth and the psychology of success.” The one certain thing is that more psychologists will be joining the list of millionaires as a result of this trend. Will they be immune to the debilitating affects of SWS and Affluenza? We can only hope. This story has really touched my heart and I promise to begin soliciting donations for those suffering from the horrible affects of wealth. Please join me in my campaign for the over-privileged, because they don’t really have everything (you still have some stuff).  The surge in the number of millionaires in the world is spawning a fast-growing industry -- wealth psychology.
U.S. wealth managers are adding services such as psychological counseling for wealthy clients to set them apart from the competition, experts said.
Some of these psychologists handle clients who feel guilty about inheriting wealth. Others help with problems such as how to raise children in an environment where almost anything can be bought, or intervene when spouses fight over money.
"One of the biggest concerns when people become significantly wealthy is ... 'How am I going to raise my kids responsibly with all this money'," psychologist and consultant James Grubman told the Reuters Wealth Management Summit in Boston
