Exploring the “Rise of the Therapeutic” and Its Impact on Social Struggles

Issue No.18 of Here & Now tackles the decline of social struggles, attributing it in part to the growing influence of the “therapeutic” in modern society. Articles by Frank Dexter, John Barrett, and Mike Peters critically examine how therapy culture reinforces social control, suppresses agency, and distances individuals from collective action. The discussion extends into the political left, where an overemphasis on rationality and ideological purity weakens engagement with emotion and subjectivity. This provocative issue challenges readers to rethink autonomy, social transformation, and the evolving dynamics of resistance.
