ABSTRACT
The authors begin by taking a critical look at the actual state of psychotherapy practices in our society and conclude that we would be well advised to begin elucidating the contours of a post-therapeutic future, one that goes beyond the narrow confines of our current language games. This article then goes on to explore aspects of post-therapeutic thinking that might be found outside of our rather insular psychotherapeutic vocabularies, from within the diverse disciplines of philosophy, sociology, ethnology, linguistics, film, and music. Setting forth from a perspective that embraces hermeneutic diversity as a human resource, the authors hope for a greater plurality of voices with respect to our ways of languaging about our selves and our society.
