商品簡介
The conjunction of the wane of the American civil rights movement and the rise of self-help psychotherapy is more than coincidental, suggests Lasch-Quinn (history, Syracuse U.). She details how psychotherapeutic approaches to race in America operate in corporate, educational, and other settings. She criticizes these programs as essentializing racial difference and covering over social and political causes for racial tensions in the United States.
