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 Felicidad(Editorial Trotta, 2024-01) Cabanas Díaz, Edgar; Velasco Arias, Gonzalo; Gómez Ramos, AntonioPublicación Hijacking the language of functionality? In praise of negative emotions against happiness(Routledge, 2020) Cabanas Díaz, Edgar; lllouz, Eva; Hill, Nicholas; Brinkmann, Svend; Petersen, AndersPublicación 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 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.
