Therapeutic Cultures: A View From Latin America
Join Piroska E. Csúri, Mariano B. Plotkin, and Nicolás Viotti, the authors of 'Beyond Therapeutic Culture in Latin America,' and their editors Edgar Cabanas and Daniel Nehring, as they examine the global phenomenon of ‘therapeutic culture’ through the experiences of Latin America. Drawing on from original research conducted in the region, panelists extend the idea of the therapeutic beyond the classroom to encompass a diversity of practices, both “secular” and “religious,” “modern” and “traditional,” that are deemed as therapeutic by the actors involved. Learn lessons specifically about Latin America but that offer insights for understanding therapeutic cultures everywhere.
