Publicación Travellers. Transformative Journeys and Emotional Contacts(Berghahn Books, 2019-06-06) Cabanas Díaz, Edgar; Khan, Razak; Marjanen, Jani; Gammerl, Benno; Nielsen, Philipp; Margrit PernauPublicación Positive Psychology and the legitimation of individualism(SAGE Publications, 2018) Cabanas Díaz, EdgarPositive Psychology (PP) has been firmly institutionalized as a worldwide phenomenon, especially in the last decade. Its promise of well-being has captured many people’s longings for solutions in times of significant social uncertainty, instability, and insecurity. The field, nevertheless, has been severely criticized on multiple fronts. This article argues that positive psychology is characterized by a narrow sense of the social as well as by a strong individualistic bias that reflects the core beliefs of neoliberal ideology. In this regard, the present paper aims to illustrate the extent to which individualism is essential to understanding the theoretical and empirical foundations of PP’s conceptualization of happiness. Additionally, the paper questions whether positive psychology and its individualist conception of human well-being are not themselves contributing to sustain and create some of the dissatisfaction to which they promise a solution.Publicación La vida real en tiempos de la felicidad(Alianza, 2018) Pérez Álvarez, Marino; Sánchez González, José Carlos; Cabanas Díaz, EdgarPublicación The Making oThe Making of a “Happy Worker”. Positive Psychology in Neoliberal Organizations(Oxford University Press, 2016-12-20) Cabanas Díaz, Edgar; lllouz, Eva; Pugh, Allison J.In this work we analyze some of the economic and organizational conditions that help to understand the cultural pervasiveness of the modern idea of happiness and its inherent intertwining with neoliberal ideology. Specifically, we argue that happiness-based repertoires and techniques provided by positive psychologists are reshaping both the meaning and the logic of workers identity. Regarding this, we introduce the idea that Maslow’s “Pyramid of Needs”, on which managerial theory has relied in the last decades, has been completely inverted. We also analyze how individuals use these happiness-based repertoires and techniques to adapt behavioral patterns, self-image and expectations to the emerging demands of personal autonomy as well as the flexibility of networking organizations. This way, while these organizations delegate to workers many of the contingencies derived from work, displacing a great deal of the burden of the market and organizational uncertainty onto individuals themselves, positive psychologists claim to provide instruments that enhance self-control and resilient behavior in order to help individuals thrive in constantly changing, stressful and competitive environments.Publicación Becoming Positive Souls. Spirituality and Happiness from New Thought to Positive Psychology(Routledge, 2020) Cabanas Díaz, Edgar; Sánchez-González, José CarlosContemporary therapeutic ethos is tightly associated with the culture and industry of happiness. Positive psychology, presented as a revolutionary, scientific, and universal―and therefore ultimate―understanding of what human happiness is and how it can be achieved, has played an essential role in this in the last two decades. Nevertheless, despite its popular and academic influence on a global scale, the field seems to have neither fulfilled its scientific ambitions nor offered something substantially new from its cultural and popular predecessors. On the contrary, the field should be seen as the latest and most influential manifestation of a North American spiritual tradition long convinced that happiness and misery, health and illness, are individual mind productions. In this regard, the purpose of this chapter is twofold. First, to raise epistemological concerns related to positive psychology’s presentation of old, spiritualistic, and ethnocentric ideas as new, scientific, and universal truths about human happiness. Second, to show the strong continuity of positive psychology’s assumptions and therapeutic techniques with New Thought metaphysics, a popular and religious movement that since the years of Phineas P. Quimby has been consecrated to bringing science and spirituality together in the understanding of human health and happiness.Publicación Psychiatry as culture: Transforming childhood through ADHD(Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden, 2013) Shachak, Mattan; Cabanas Díaz, Edgar; Cohen, María Ángeles; lllouz, Eva; Dellwing, Michael; Harbusch, MartinPublicación The Routledge International Handbook of Global Therapeutic Cultures(Routledge, 2020) Nehring, Daniel; Madsen, Ole Jacob; Cabanas Díaz, Edgar; Mills, China; Kerrigan, DylanThe Routledge International Handbook of Global Therapeutic Cultures explores central lines of enquiry and seminal scholarship on therapeutic cultures, popular psychology, and the happiness industry. Bringing together studies of therapeutic cultures from sociology, anthropology, psychology, education, politics, law, history, social work, cultural studies, development studies, and American Indian studies, it adopts a consciously global focus, combining studies of the psychologisation of social life from across the world. Thematically organised, it offers historical accounts of the growing prominence of therapeutic discourses and practices in everyday life, before moving to consider the construction of self-identity in the context of the diffusion of therapeutic discourses in connection with the global spread of capitalism. With attention to the ways in which emotional language has brought new problematisations of the dichotomy between the normal and the pathological, as well as significant transformations of key institutions, such as work, family, education and religion, it examines emergent trends in therapeutic culture and explores the manner in which the advent of new therapeutic technologies, the political interest in happiness, and the radical privatisation and financialisation of social life converge to remake self-identities and modes of everyday experience. Finally, the book features the work of scholars who have foregrounded the historical and contemporary implication of psychotherapeutic practices in processes of globalisation and colonial and postcolonial modes of social organisation. Presenting agenda-setting research to encourage interdisciplinary and international dialogue and foster the development of a distinctive new field of social research, The Routledge International Handbook of Global Therapeutic Cultures will appeal to scholars across the social sciences with interests in the advance of therapeutic discourses and practices in an increasingly psychologised society.Publicación Felicidad(Editorial Trotta, 2024-01) Cabanas Díaz, Edgar; Velasco Arias, Gonzalo; Gómez Ramos, AntonioPublicación De vuelta al individualismo: la construcción de psiudadanos en la era de la felicidad(Ediciones Trea, 2023) Cabanas Díaz, Edgar; García Gómez, Teresa; Martín-González, SarayEn las sociedades actuales, la felicidad individual se ha convertido no sólo en uno de los principales objetos de consumo; también se ha erigido en un nuevo régimen moral para definir qué es deseable y qué indeseable, qué es bueno y qué es malo, qué es saludable y qué no. Aún más importante, la felicidad ya no sólo se presenta como una meta vital, aparentemente universal y la más crucial a conseguir en la vida de cualquier persona, sino como una peculiar forma de ser y de estar en el mundo, es decir, como un particular estilo de vida. La felicidad como estilo de vida, al tiempo que se alinea con la ideología individualista, sirve para legitimar y reavivar esta misma ideología en términos aparentemente no ideológicos, movimiento en el cual el discurso de la ciencia (o cientificismo, en este caso) cumple un papel esencial. El presente capítulo sugiere que la felicidad como estilo de vida convierte a los ciudadanos de las sociedades actuales en psiudadanos, esto es, en clientes psicológicos cuya plena funcionalidad como individuos está estrechamente vinculada a la incesante búsqueda y aumento de su propia felicidad. El capítulo analiza este concepto de psiudadano a través de su tres rasgos principales y examina el papel que la denominada ciencia de la felicidad desempeña en la formación de esta noción emergente de ciudadanía.Publicación Hijacking the language of functionality?
