Cynical Therapies addresses the attempted takeover of psychotherapy and counselling by Critical Social Justice theorists and activists. The publication of this counter-revolutionary treatise was probably inevitable given the swelling tide of other related and groundbreaking books that have come before it. Its forebears include Douglas Murray’s (2020) defining work, The Madness of Crowds: Gender, Race and Identity; and there is also a direct line of succession to it from Pluckrose and Lindsay’s (2021) Cynical Theories.
