Description
We need a new approach to politics - one that understands human wellbeing and distress. Over the past century, psychotherapy has built up a nuanced understanding of these issues, which can inform our political landscape. This book describes a progressive vision for society, integrating insights from psychology and psychotherapy. It offers a culture of radical acceptance, where individuals can thrive in rich and fulfilling lives. By understanding psychological needs and processes, we can work together in collaboration, dialogue, and respect. By exploring the intersection of politics and psychology, this book provides a new framework for creating positive change.
