Book Synopsis

Psychotherapy in the Age of Political Polarization is a response to the challenge so many mental health professionals face: How do we best assist our clients who are suffering from the political polarization that is pervasive in our culture? This book explores how highly politicized interactions can often affect psychotherapy and counseling, and ways to combat the division.

The liberal/conservative division that exists in psychotherapy is discussed, and ways of overcoming these differences to work on a common goal in a therapeutic setting is of central importance. Useful case examples and vignettes are included to aid and mend divisions caused when encountering politically and ideologically challenging clients. Furthermore, the book explores how weâve become so divided, the relevance of politics in therapy, the interface of political polarization with psychological disorders, and finally skills to aid mental health professionals in ethical practice.
