Drawing on developments in popular culture, political and social life, the author provides a path-breaking analysis of the therapeutic turn. He questions the widely accepted thesis that the therapeutic turn represents an enlightened shift towards emotions and claims that therapeutic culture is primarily about imposing a new conformity through the management of people's emotions.
