Therapeutic governance explained
The term therapeutic governance has been used multiply in the social science literature, referring 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]
