This book offers a compelling critical analysis of American society
by examining the role of psychotherapy within social policy and the
culture that has fashioned it. It takes a deeply critical look at
'the social clinic,' defined here as a ubiquitous organizational
arrangement that includes clinical and community psychology,
counseling, clinical social work, psychiatry, much of the self-help
industry, complementary and alternative medicine and others.
Epstein's analysis concludes that the social clinic lacks credible
evidence of effectiveness and its continued popularity expresses
popular but predatory American values such as romantic
individualism, the triumph of the subjective, a sense of personal
and political chosenness, persistent bigotry, and a preference for
tribal as opposed to civic identities. This careful examination of
American society through the lens of psychotherapeutic practice
characterizes the social clinic as a soothing fiction of the United
States. The book offers caring services as the unrealized
alternative to clinical treatment, capable of achieving greater
personal adjustment as well as social and economic equality. It
will appeal to readers with an interest in social welfare, public
policy, and public administration, as well as to students and
scholars of psychotherapy, counseling, social work, rehabilitation,
and community psychology.
This book is based on a series of lectures on mathematical biology,
the essential dynamics of complex and crucially important social
systems, and the unifying power of mathematics and nonlinear
dynamical systems theory.
The Levant Company in England was first established in 1592 to help
regulate trade with Turkey and the Levant area. Originally
published in 1908, this study details the early origins of the
company as well as providing information on surrounding issues such
as the regulation of shipping, piracy and the officials of the
company. This title will be of interest to students of history and
business.
