It investigates how human and non-human actors, systems of thought and practice are assembled and interwoven in therapeutic engagements, and traces the situated, material and political dimensions of these engagements. By focusing on lived experiences through ethnographically informed case studies, the book elucidates the diverse forms, meanings and embodied effects of therapeutic engagements in different settings, as well as their potential for both oppressive and subversive social change. In this way, Assembling Therapeutics contributes to our understanding of multiple modes of healing, self-knowledge and power in contemporary societies. 606 $aPsychology, Applied$xSocial aspects 606 $aSelf-help techniques$xSocial aspects 606 $aSelf-care, Health$xSocial aspects 606 $aTherapeutics$xSocial aspects 606 $aSOCIAL SCIENCE / General$2bisacsh 606 $aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Sociology / General$2bisacsh 615 0$aPsychology, Applied$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aSelf-help techniques$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aSelf-care, Health$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aTherapeutics$xSocial aspects. 615 7$aSOCIAL SCIENCE / General 615 7$aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Sociology / General 676 $a158 702 $aSalmenniemi$b Suvi$f1975- 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910737280803321 996 $aAssembling therapeutics$93553281 997 $aUNINA
