Description du livre
The Revolutionary Psychologist’s Guide to Radical Therapy presents a bold, comprehensive framework for anti-capitalist psychotherapy. Edited by Jon Hook and Frank Gruba-McCallister, this volume features leading voices in radical psychology who challenge the ideological foundations of mainstream therapeutic practice.
Organized into four sections—Theory, Practice, Context, and Sublation—the book begins by establishing the philosophical and political underpinnings of a liberatory therapeutic approach. It then moves into applied strategies for dismantling capitalist hegemony in clinical work, emphasizing collective liberation and social justice. The Context section situates these practices within specific cultural and historical frameworks, including Fanonian clinical methods and radical youth work. The final section explores existential and spiritual dimensions of suffering and freedom, offering a vision of therapy as a transformative force for individuals and society.
Essential reading for academics, clinicians, and activists, this volume addresses the sociogenic roots of distress and advances a praxis of healing rooted in justice, resistance, and liberation.
