{"product_id":"anxious-china-li-zhang-9780520344198","title":"Anxious China: Inner Revolution and Politics of Psychotherapy","description":"The breathless pace of China's economic reform has brought about deep ruptures in socioeconomic structures and people's inner landscape. Faced with increasing market-driven competition and profound social changes, more and more middle-class urbanites are turning to Western-style psychological counseling to grapple with their mental distress. This book offers an in-depth ethnographic account of how an unfolding \"inner revolution\" is reconfiguring selfhood, psyche, family dynamics, sociality, and the mode of governing in post-socialist times. Li Zhang shows that anxiety--broadly construed in both medical and social terms--has become a powerful indicator for the general pulse of contemporary Chinese society. It is in this particular context that Zhang traces how a new psychotherapeutic culture takes root, thrives, and transforms itself across a wide range of personal, social, and political domains.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Li Zhang\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520344197\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520344198\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/04\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.60d","brand":"Li Zhang","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43990795682047,"sku":"9780520344198","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b9f0bfee-0009-46d2-9b3b-b7c69783113e.jpg?v=1683306732","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/anxious-china-li-zhang-9780520344198","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
