Books in the Therapeutic Cultures series

By focusing on quantitative and qualitative research in Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires, this book expands on the notion of "therapeutic culture."

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.

This book explores the manner in which psychology has increasingly crept into everyday life. Showing that Norway is currently subjected to a psychological worldview or `therapeutic ethos¿, the author examines an array of spheres to shed light on the ways in which the therapeutic ethos blends in with regional norms and values.
