Rethinking Therapeutic Culture

Offering both an extended history and a series of critical interventions organized around keywords like pain, privacy, and narcissism, this volume offers a more nuanced, empirically grounded picture of therapeutic culture than the one popularized by critics. It will change the way we've been taught to see the landscape of therapy and self-help.
