We air our feelings and dirty laundry on television talk shows. Many Americans rely on advice from a therapist to get them through daily crises and boost our self-esteem. The news media constantly relays stories of people "at risk". And our lunch conversations are sprinkled with the phrases "scarred for life," "emotionally fragile", and "How did I get here."
Frank Furedi, author of the critically acclaimed Paranoid Parenting, turns his sharp eye to explore the powerful influence of therapeutic imperative in contemporary society in his latest book Therapy Culture. In recent decades virtually every sphere of life has become subject to a new emotional culture. Furedi suggests that the recent cultural turn toward the realm of the emotions coincides with a radical redefinition of who we are. Increasingly vulnerability is presented as the defining feature of our psyches.
Furedi questions the widely accepted notions that this new culture represents an enlightened shift towards emotionsand shows how this turn is primarily about imposing a new conformity through the management of our emotions.
Through framing the problem of everyday life through the prism of emotions, therapy culture incites everyone to feel powerless and ill. Drawing on developments in popular culture, politics, and social life, Furedi provides a path-breaking analysis of modern life.</P>

评分在大家都喜欢说创伤的年代，看看这种观点挺好的。把心理创伤，脆弱心灵当成一种社会构建出来的文化现象。（豆瓣能不能加个标注选项：“搁置”or“只看了序章”）
