The Myth of Therapeutic Neutrality
Part of the established tradition of mental health work is that the therapeutic space is ‘neutral’. This idea of neutrality, developed in the West, has been exported globally to places and people with mixed experiences of many Western conceptions, including justice.
Increasingly attention from diverse perspectives critique the idea of therapeutic neutrality as a myth. All therapists have values, whether we admit them or not. Are the values of our therapy indigenous to the ‘West’, or do they reflect universal truths? Are they divine-sacred, or pragmatic and political? How much do we notice the subtle and not so subtle interplay of values in our work? Where are the places we remain silent? Is it possible to be ethical and incorporate activist sensibilities in psychotherapy without losing our focus on the client (or should we)?
This conference exposes the myth of therapeutic neutrality and explores alternative ways of being in therapeutic spaces taking account of both our faith and our politic.
