It is about time we started to discuss about therapeutic ethos in Finland.

A new article:

Preoccupied with the self: towards self-responsible, enterprising, flexible and self-centred subjectivity in education

Kristiina Brunila & Päivi Siivonen

In the neoliberal order, the ideal self is self-responsible, enterprising, flexible and self-centred. Regarding this ideal we argue that the rise of therapisation in society, and in education, particularly, links both the therapeutic and enterprising discourses. The article examines how these discourses jointly produce and legitimate the ideal, and thus, the preoccupied subjectivity of the neoliberal order.
