Therapeutic governance

Last updated

The term therapeutic governance is used in the social science literature to refer to two interrelated concepts. Therapeutic governance was first coined by Vannessa Pupavac [1] to describe the management of the populations' psychology, and its significance for security. [2] [3]

Allison McKim used the term therapeutic governance to describe the governmentality of alcohol and drug treatment, whereby treatment works as a type of responsibilizing governance in producing and managing a rational, self-interested subject. [4]
