This volume offers a detailed analysis of how the current phase of
capitalism is eating away at social, interpersonal, and
psychological health. Drawing upon an interdisciplinary body of
research, Bruce Rogers-Vaughn describes an emerging form of human
distress-what he calls 'third order suffering'-that is rapidly
becoming normative. Moreover, this new paradigm of affliction is
increasingly entangled with already-existing genres of misery, such
as sexism, racism, and class struggle, mutating their appearances
and mystifying their intersections. Along the way, Rogers-Vaughn
presents stimulating reflections on how widespread views regarding
secularization and postmodernity may divert attention from
contemporary capitalism as the material origin of these
developments. Finally, he explores his own clinical practice, which
yields clues for addressing the double unconsciousness of third
order suffering and outlining a vision for caring for souls in
these troubling times.
