Berger conceptualizes it as analogous to manifestations of individuals' psychopathology. He devises a 'sociocultural therapy' patterned after an individual psychotherapy framework, the so-called analysis of defense and designed to supplement the standard approaches to global threats. The new and valuable principal contributions are: identifying our failures with societal pathology; focusing on the latter's defenses; conceptualizing a therapeutic analogue applicable at the social level; and constructing a prototypical example of that therapy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jason Aronson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46882544877719,"sku":"9780765706522","price":10155.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780765706522.webp?v=1770235304","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/averting-global-extinction-our-irrational-society-as-therapy-patient-9780765706522","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
