The Routledge International Handbook of Global Therapeutic Cultures
explores central lines of enquiry and seminal scholarship on
therapeutic cultures, popular psychology, and the happiness
industry. Bringing together studies of therapeutic cultures from
sociology, anthropology, psychology, education, politics, law,
history, social work, cultural studies, development studies, and
American Indian studies, it adopts a consciously global focus,
combining studies of the psychologisation of social life from
across the world. Thematically organised, it offers historical
accounts of the growing prominence of therapeutic discourses and
practices in everyday life, before moving to consider the
construction of self-identity in the context of the diffusion of
therapeutic discourses in connection with the global spread of
capitalism. With attention to the ways in which emotional language
has brought new problematisations of the dichotomy between the
normal and the pathological, as well as significant transformations
of key institutions, such as work, family, education, and religion,
it examines emergent trends in therapeutic culture and explores the
manner in which the advent of new therapeutic technologies, the
political interest in happiness, and the radical privatisation and
financialisation of social life converge to remake self-identities
and modes of everyday experience. Finally, the volume features the
work of scholars who have foregrounded the historical and
contemporary implication of psychotherapeutic practices in
processes of globalisation and colonial and postcolonial modes of
social organisation. Presenting agenda-setting research to
encourage interdisciplinary and international dialogue and foster
the development of a distinctive new field of social research, The
Routledge International Handbook of Global Therapeutic Cultures
will appeal to scholars across the social sciences with interests
in the advance of therapeutic discourses and practices in an
increasingly psychologised society.
