Will Daddario: Therapy Yet to Come, Gebunden

Klappentext

Offering a critique of contemporary psychotherapy, this book challenges the field's alignment with neoliberal systems that position it less as a neutral service and more as a behaviour factory. By blending performance philosophy and science fiction, Therapy Yet to Come draws on negative dialectics and ficto-criticism to reimagine a radical, speculative idea of what therapy could become, not only in the present but centuries into the future.

Moving beyond models that position therapy as a form of palliative care, this book empowers clients to be producers of their own lives. It introduces performance philosophy therapy, which reframes therapeutic encounters as theatrical spaces of combat and rehearsal. The model utilises social science fiction to view individuals as 'planet-worlds' caught in social and historical gravitational orbits.

Proposing a new mode of 'doing-thinking', this book speaks to counsellors, psychologists and social workers who are disillusioned with manualised treatments and the neoliberal strictures of the modern therapy industry.
