The Environment is an argument in three parts. Part 1 discusses psychoanalytic and developmental theory, showing that while such theory has assumed the existence of an environment, it has taken for granted and therefore left unexamined its role in human development. Michel Foucault's theory of social control provides the framework for Part 2, which examines psychotherapy's capacity either to liberate or to repress the client. Part 3 relates the practical benefits and broader implications of an inclusion of environmental considerations in the practice of psychotherapy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67635873186080,"sku":"USED0231106513","price":42.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81oh2EI3O8L.jpg?v=1791114769","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-environment-its-role-in-psychosocial-functioning-and-psychotherapy-0231106513-used","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
