This groundbreaking text interrogates the constructed boundary
between therapy and violence, by examining therapeutic practice and
discourse through the lens of a psychologist and a survivor of
sexual abuse. It asks, what happens when those we approach for help
cause further harm? Can we identify coercive practices and stop
sexual abuse in psychology, psychiatry, and medicine? Tosh explores
these questions and more to illustrate that many of the therapies
considered fundamental to clinical practice are deeply problematic
when issues of consent and sexual abuse are considered. The book
examines a range of situations where medical power and authority
produces a context where the refusals and non-consent of oppressed
groups are denied, dismissed, or ignored, arguing that key concepts
and discourses have resulted in the production and standardisation
of a therapeutic rape culture in the helping professions. Tosh uses
critical intersectionality theory and discourse analysis to
expertly highlight the complex interrelationships between race,
class, gender, sexuality, and disability in our understanding of
abuse and how we define survivors. Drawing on a wide range of
comprehensive examples, including experiences and perspectives from
cisgender and transgender men and women, as well as nonbinary and
intersex people, this is essential reading for students and
researchers of critical and queer psychology, gender studies, as
well as mental health practitioners and social workers.
