Therapeutic Ethics in Context and in Dialogue

The standard view of psychotherapy as a treatment for mental disorders can obscure how therapy functions as a social practice that promotes conceptions of human well-being. Building on the philosophy of Charles Taylor, Smith examines the link between therapy and ethics and its aims in modern Western ideas about living well.
