Description based on print version record.

Includes bibliographical references (p. [171]-180) and index.

American culture in cross-cultural context -- Psychotherapy and hyperindividualism -- Povertyis just a state of mind -- The kids aren't all right -- Those who can't teach -- The sacrifice of our children -- Still crazy after all these years -- Color blind hearts and minds -- Conclusion.

Psychotherapy, American Culture, and Social Policy provides a livelyindictment of psychotherapy and individualism by examining American cultural structures-child-rearing, family life, mental illness, and education. Throop advances a complex argument that American reliance on psychotherapy to explain these structures is a poor justification which neglects those most in need and pain. Both interdisciplinary and solidly anthropological, this study is sure to provoke discussion from both the right and the left and cause serious consideration of Throop's call forcultural change and just social policies.
