Dangerous Rise of Therapeutic...

Kathryn Ecclestone, Dennis Hayes

The Dangerous Rise of Therapeutic Education confronts the silent ascendancy of a therapeutic ethos across the educational system and into the workplace. Controversial and compelling, Kathryn Ecclestone and Dennis Hayes’ classic text uses a wealth of examples across the education system, from primary schools to university and the workplace, to show how therapeutic education is turning children, young people and adults into anxious and self-preoccupied individuals rather than aspiring, optimistic and resilient learners who want to know everything about the world.Remaining extremely topical, the chapters illuminate the powerful effects of therapeutic education, including:How therapeutic learning is taking shape, now and in the futureHow therapeutic ideas from popular culture have come to govern social thought and policiesHow the fostering of dependence and compulsory participation in therapeutic activities that encourage the disclosing of emotions, can undermine parents’ and teachers’ confidence and authorityHow therapeutic forms of teacher training undermine faith in the pursuit of knowledgeHow political initiatives in emotional literacy, emotional wellbeing and ‘positive mental health’ propagate a diminished view of human potential throughout the education system and the workplace.The Dangerous Rise of Therapeutic Education is an eye-opening read for every teacher and leader across the field of education, and every parent and student, who is passionate about the power of knowledge to transform people’s lives. It is a call for a debate about the growing impact of therapeutic education and what it means for learning now and in the future.

The Psychology of Mass Obedience...

Owen Blackwood

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
Understand why humans consistently obey authority, conform to groups, and participate in collective actions they would individually reject as wrong. This disturbing audiobook examines the psychological research on obedience from Milgram experiments to Stanford Prison studies, revealing uncomfortable truths about human nature that remain relevant today. Learn why ordinary people become capable of extraordinary cruelty when authority commands or group pressure permits, and why you are not as immune as you believe. The narrator explores the evolutionary origins of obedience tendencies, the social conditions that activate conformity, and the surprisingly small steps that lead from compliance to complicity. Discover how totalitarian regimes exploit obedience psychology and why democratic societies remain vulnerable to authoritarian manipulation through identical mechanisms. Understand the situational factors that predict obedience versus resistance and what distinguishes the rare individuals who maintain independence under pressure. This audiobook challenges comforting beliefs that modern education and awareness protect against mass manipulation while presenting evidence that obedience tendencies remain fully operational. Learn practical strategies for strengthening resistance to illegitimate authority and recognizing when you are being manipulated toward conformity. Essential listening for citizens concerned about authoritarianism, professionals in positions of authority, and anyone seeking honest understanding of how mass compliance with harmful directives actually occurs.
