Abstract


Therapy is an institution that has had an abundance of celebrants (usually self-interested), but few serious detractors. Now it has found its first abolitionist: Jeffrey Masson, who argues that therapy is a building so constituted that it endangers anyone who enters it. In his new book, Against Therapy, he is a one-person smashing enterprise of considerable energy and intelligence.
