The Radical Therapist [antikvár]

IntroductionRadical therapy is just beginning. It's being developed all across the country. It can't be described in six easy rules or five techniques that's good, because RT is a way of living, not another "new kind" of therapy that can take its place in the psychotherapy spectrum. RT starts from the awareness that therapy is a social and political event, and moves to the conviction that therapy systemslike many of this country's in-stitutionsmust be changed.RT groups have begun in Berkeley, Cambridge, Chicago, New York, New Haven, and elsewhere. People have identified themselves as "radical therapists" and are working for change where they can. Somé are working within the system in community mentái health centers, neighbor-hood clinics, hospitals, and training programs; others are starting alternatives outside the systemin rap centers, therapy collectives, com-munes and radical psychiatry groups. Many colleges now give at least one course in radical psychology.People are determined to stop therapy's per-petuating and legitimizing oppression. We're de-veloping a therapy that serves the people.
