Saving the Modern Soul examines the profound impact of therapeutic discourse on our lives and on our contemporary notions of identity. Eva Illouz plumbs today's particular cultural moment to understand how and why psychology has secured its place at the core of modern identity. She examines a wide range of sources to show how self-help culture has transformed contemporary emotional life and how therapy complicates individuals' lives even as it claims to dissect their emotional experiences and heal trauma. 517 3 $aCulture of self-help 606 $aSocial values$zUnited States 606 $aPsychoanalysis and culture$zUnited States 606 $aPsychotherapy$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 606 $aEmotions$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 606 $aSocial norms$zUnited States 610 $aamerican culture. 610 $acommunicative ethic. 610 $acommunicative rationality. 610 $acultural sociology. 610 $acultural studies. 610 $aemotional control. 610 $aemotional experiences. 610 $aemotional life. 610 $afeminism. 610 $afreud. 610 $afreudian charisma. 610 $ahuman condition. 610 $aidentity. 610 $aintimacy. 610 $amagazine advice column. 610 $amarriage. 610 $amodern identity. 610 $apassion. 610 $apopular culture. 610 $aprivate consulting room. 610 $apsychoanalysis. 610 $apsychology. 610 $apure emotion. 610 $aself help culture. 610 $aself help. 610 $aselfhood. 610 $asocial organization. 610 $asociology. 610 $asuffering. 610 $asupport group. 610 $atherapeutic discourse. 610 $atherapeutic therapy. 610 $atrauma. 615 0$aSocial values 615 0$aPsychoanalysis and culture 615 0$aPsychotherapy$xSocial aspects 615 0$aEmotions$xSocial aspects 615 0$aSocial norms 676 $a306.4/613 700 $aIllouz$b Eva$f1961-$0515245 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782011603321 996 $aSaving the modern soul$93712345 997 $aUNINA
