Psychotherapy, American Culture, and Social Policy: Immoral Individualism Hardcover - 2009

by E. Throop


From the publisher

This book is a lively indictment of American culture's pervasive use of the psychotherapeutic metaphor to explain behaviors. Throop argues that the use of psychotherapy and excessive individualism is profoundly unjust, working only to ensure the continuance of social problems.
