This book offers a fresh perspective on self-help culture and popular psychology. Research on this subject matter has generally focused on the USA and the Global Northwest. In contrast, this book explores the production, circulation and consumption of self-help books from an innovative transnational perspective. Case studies on Trinidad, Mexico, the People‘s Republic of China, the UK and the USA explore the roles which self-help‘s therapeutic narratives of self and social relationships play in the contemporary world. In this context, the book questions the extent to which self-help fulfils its promise of individual autonomy and contentment. At the same time, it addresses debates about contemporary political change under transnational processes of cultural standardization. | | 出版日期 | Book 2016 | | 關(guān)鍵詞 | Self-help; popular psychology; therapeutic culture; globalisation and culture; media; narrative research; | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1057/9780230370869 | | isbn_softcover | 978-1-349-59637-9 | | isbn_ebook | 978-0-230-37086-9 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2016 |
