Constructing the Self, Constructing America: a Cultural History of Psychotherapy Pdf FREE CONSTRUCTING THE SELF, CONSTRUCTING AMERICA: A CULTURAL HISTORY OF PSYCHOTHERAPY PDF Philip Cushman | 448 pages | 30 Sep 1996 | The Perseus Books Group | 9780201441925 | English | Cambridge, MA, United States Constructing The Self, Constructing America: A Cultural History Of Psychotherapy by Philip Cushman Rhetoric of therapy is a concept coined by American academic Dana L. Cloud to describe "a set of political and cultural discourses that have adopted psychotherapy's lexicon—the conservative language of healing, coping, adaptation, and restoration of previously existing order—but in contexts of social and political conflict". Constructing the Self argued that the rhetoric of therapy encourages people to focus on themselves and their private lives rather than attempt to reform flawed systems of social and political power. This form of persuasion is primarily used by politicians, managers, journalists and entertainers as a way to cope with the crisis of the American Dream. The rhetoric of therapy has two functions, according to Cloud: 1 to exhort conformity with the prevailing social order and 2 to encourage identification Constructing the Self therapeutic values: individualismfamilism, self-helpand self- absorption. The origins of therapeutic discourse, along with advertising and other consumerist cultural forms, emerged during the industrialization of the West during the 18th century. The new emphasis on the acquisition of wealth during this period produced discourse about the "democratic self- determination of individuals conceived as autonomous, self-expressive, self-reliant subjects" or, in short, the " self-made man ". Therefore, the language of personal responsibility, adaptation, and healing served not to liberate the working class, the poor, and the socially marginalized, but to persuade members of these classes that they are individually responsible for their plight. One prominent movement that developed from the rhetoric of therapy was the self-help movement, which encouraged its audiences to take personal responsibility for solving their problems without attention to race, class, and gender issues. Cloud analyzed different case studies to show how the established order is maintained by redirecting blame from the hegemonic system to the individual. Cloud said that the rhetoric of family values blames the absence of the "traditional" family as the cause of social ills. The rhetoric of therapy is used to divert attention from issues caused by hegemonic systems by promoting the idea that restoration of the traditional family structure will result in a harmonious society. A second example of the rhetoric of Constructing America: A Cultural History of Psychotherapy is illustrated in Cloud's discussion of the extensive media coverage of groups that supported the Gulf War. Cloud says that Constructing America: A Cultural History of Psychotherapy media intentionally devoted significant attention to groups that supported the war in an effort to instill blame, guilt, shame, and anxiety in individuals who openly opposed the war. Cloud writes that this was a government effort to Constructing the Self the nation's perception and response to the war that many deemed unjust. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

It seeks to describe the manner in which the concept of "self" has been defined and experienced in various historical eras in America, to explain how psychotherapy contributed to this concept, and finally to criticize psychotherapy's contributions and argue that it needs to change direction. The author is not completely successful in all these endeavors, but he does succeed in producing an interesting, contentious, and clearly written book. Cushman, a historian and practicing psychologist, lays out his major themes and biases in his first two chapters, which can be summarized by the following passages: "over the last years, American history has become a history of the modern ills of isolation, uncertainty and doubt"; "the current configuration of the self is the empty self Liskow B.

Our website uses cookies to enhance your experience. Cushman has traveled a most unusual path to the Psy. For Constructing the Self, he worked as a professional pizza deliverer and an inspector of fire extinguishers and attended five different graduate programs in five different academic fields. His first graduate school was a rabbinic seminary, but then civil rights and anti-war activism moved him in other academic directions in the late s and earlys. In that program he had the great good fortune to study under Ed Sampson, the most important critical social psychologist of the post- World War II era, and Tony Stigliano, a gifted philosopher who introduced him to hermeneutics through the works of Martin Heidegger and Hans- Georg Gadamer. In Constructing America: A Cultural History of Psychotherapy, Dr. Cushman was hired as an adjunct at the California School of Professional Psychology. They began to plan APA programs together and developed an annual hermeneutics party, which became famous for good talk and good times. By helping him develop an understanding of hermeneutics, he believes they saved his intellectual life, and he owes Constructing the Self much gratitude. Cushman developed his theoretical orientation in hermeneutics and relational psychoanalysis. Cushman specializes in utilizing interventions that focus on the relationship between patient and social context, patient and therapist, teacher and student. He believes that humans are always in relation to one another, to society, and to the historical traditions that constitute us. We live them out, and yet we must also critique them. Cushman now lives on Vashon Island in Puget Sound where he maintains a private practice and continues his historical research and writing. Cushman is keenly involved in the dissertation process of his students, Constructing America: A Cultural History of Psychotherapy has invited students to be part of the professional community through invitations to several intellectual and clinical events in the Northwest. Cushman is licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist in Washington and California, and is currently writing two books about the self. During his free time, Dr. Cushman in involved in the synagogue on Vashon Island, where he participates in a weekly Torah study group. Register Log in Shopping cart 0.

  • A Philosophical Investigation Into Coercive Psychiatric Practices
    MIC, University of Limerick A philosophical investigation into coercive psychiatric practices 2 Volumes Gerald Roche MSc, MPhil, BCL, BL. Volume 1 of 2 A thesis submitted to the University of Limerick for the degree of Ph.D. in Philosophy Doctoral Supervisor: Dr. Niall Keane, MIC, University of Limerick. External Examiner: Professor Joris Vandenberghe, University of Leuven, Leuven, Belgium. Internal Examiner: Dr. Stephen Thornton, MIC, University of Limerick. Submitted to the University of Limerick, February 2012. Abstract This dissertation seeks to examine the validity of the justification commonly offered for a coercive 1 psychiatric intervention, namely that the intervention was in the ‘best interests’ of the subject and/or that the subject posed a danger to others. As a first step, it was decided to analyse justifications based on ‘best interests’ [the ‘ Stage 1 ’ argument] separately from those based on dangerousness [the ‘Stage 2 ’ argument]. Justifications based on both were the focus of the ‘ Stage 3 ’ argument. Legal and philosophical analyses of coercive psychiatric interventions generally regard such interventions as embodying a benign paternalism occasioning slight, if any, ethical concern. Whilst there are some dissenting voices even at the very heart of academic and professional psychiatry, the majority of psychiatrists also appear to share such views. The aim of this dissertation is to show that such a perspective is mistaken and that such interventions raise philosophical and ethical questions of the profoundest importance.

This thesis traces the history of rhetoric and psychology theory, focusing on the parallel theories of Nienkamp’s internal rhetoric and Herman’s dialogical self. Both theories model the human mind as having multiple psyches that actively interact to interpret human experience and project human behavior. I conclude with a case study of anorexic patients using ethos, pathos, and logos in dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), arguing that principles of rhetoric can help patients with mental disorders cognitively realign their thinking more effectively than drug treatments can.

  • Reconceptualising Beliefs (Accepted Version).Pdf
    Accepted for publication in Theory & Psychology (https://journals.sagepub.com/home/tap) Realising the Potential of General Population Research to Reconceptualise the study of “Delusions”: From Normalising “Psychosis” to De-Familiarising “Normality” David J. Harper Mental Health & Social Change Research Group School of Psychology University of East London London E15 4LZ UK Abstract Over recent decades a research programme involving non-clinical samples has provided a justification for the use of normalising practices within Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for Psychosis. These studies have found that, contrary to mainstream psychiatric assumptions, beliefs considered delusional are neither rare in the general population nor qualitatively different from “non-delusional” beliefs whilst theories from a “normal” rather than “abnormal” psychology have shown them to be intelligible rather than un-understandable. Yet the programme’s inherent limitations have meant that the potential of non-clinical research has not been fully realised. An alternative research programme is proposed which could elucidate the diversity of belief in the general population by examining the role of social norms and lived belief narratives in unconventional belief communities. This could address the limitations of the normalising programme, provide a necessary corrective to the “clinician’s illusion” bias and prompt a more fundamental reconceptualization of beliefs considered delusional.
