The existing research on therapy culture and self-help culture in the
countries of the Western Balkans has so far been highly empirically
oriented. Therefore, there is a noticeable lack of theoretical
conceptualization and historical contextualization in the corpus of
available research. By doing a metasynthesis of existing research on
therapy culture and self-help culture in the countries of the Western
Balkans we aim to develop an appropriate theoretical framework for
their future study which would adequately relate these phenomenon
to important historical developments in this part of Europe. This
theoretical framework will be based on the conceptual apparatus of
the “governmentality approach”, adjusted for the study of postsocialist
contexts. We will argue that, by using this approach,
therapy culture and self-help culture in the Western Balkans can be
best understood as a multiplicity of technologies of the self, that
are used by citizens as instruments of adjusting t...heir subjectivity in
forms of neoliberal governmentality, adopted by their governments
since the early 2000s. We will conclude by presenting some
advantages and disadvantages of this theoretical framework.
