The Open Access version of this book, available at
https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/e/9781351233392, has been made

Derivatives 4.0 license. This volume examines the ways in which
people engage with therapeutic practices, such as life coaching,
mindfulness, complementary and alternative medicine, sex and
relationship counselling, spiritual healing and self-tracking. It
investigates how human and non-human actors, systems of thought and
practice are assembled and interwoven in therapeutic engagements,
and traces the situated, material and political dimensions of these
engagements. By focusing on lived experiences through
ethnographically informed case studies, the book elucidates the
diverse forms, meanings and embodied effects of therapeutic
engagements in different settings, as well as their potential for
both oppressive and subversive social change. In this way,
Assembling Therapeutics contributes to our understanding of
multiple modes of healing, self-knowledge and power in contemporary
societies.
