The Radical Therapist #150 – Would Therapy Shock Us Anymore? Mark Fisher, Hauntology, and the Lost Futures of Psychotherapy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode of The Radical Therapist, Chris Hoff draws on Mark Fisher’s idea of hauntology to ask a deceptively simple question: If we could show today’s psychotherapy to a therapist twenty years ago, would anything about it genuinely shock them?
