Saving
the Modern Soul examines the profound impact of therapeutic
discourse on our lives and on our contemporary notions of
identity. Eva Illouz plumbs today's particular cultural moment to
understand how and why psychology has secured its place at the
core of modern identity. She examines a wide range of sources to
show how self-help culture has transformed contemporary emotional
life and how therapy complicates individuals' lives even as it
claims to dissect their emotional experiences and heal trauma.
