Product Description
An increasing number of people are engaging in therapy. As a consequence there is a growing debate about the benefits of therapy and its place in global society.
In this exciting new text Peter Morrall argues that therapy should be treated with healthy scepticism and provides a compelling, contemporary, and controversial argument as to how we should construct a sceptical view.
Using sociological critique the author offers a sociology of psychotherapy as well as placing sociology in therapy. The author explores the links between therapy and science, therapy and power, therapy and reality, madness and normality, and personal misery and the values of global society.
Whilst not against therapy, the author calls into question its very nature. Is it dysfunctional, arrogant, selfish, abusive, infectious, insane and deceitful?
The author illustrates different aspects of therapy using a troubled character called Heather, who undergoes therapy and features in vignettes throughout the book.
This innovative, engaging, and compelling analysis of therapy is a wake-up call about therapy. It is essential reading for anyone interested in psychotherapy, counselling, sociology or the human condition.
