Article: Therapy’s Big Issue: Neoliberalism and Psychological Ethics (Jeff Sugarman)

Canadian psychologist Jeff Sugarman presents us with three examples that reveal the ways in which psychologists are implicated in the neoliberal agenda: psychologists’ conception and treatment of social anxiety disorder, positive psychology, and educational psychology. It is hoped that presenting and discussing these cases broadens the context of consideration in which psychological ethics might be examined and more richly informed.
