the notion that people are independent and self‒determining entities hinders our understanding of the sociocultural contexts of human experience. a theory and practice of psychotherapy that is preoccupied with the inner-self and individuals’ self-fulfillment overlooks our belonging to a community of shared values. in the process, human experience becomes strangely untied from the social and cultural environment. when the social world is devalued, social problems also lose their relation to political action. most importantly, when cultural contexts are overlooked, we are unable to perceive the way self-understanding, gender, race, and ethnicity are all culturally defined and limited. given our belonging and indebtedness to the wider sociocultural and historical contexts in which we find ourselves, individuality is a construct produced by particular types of social practices; it is one interpretation of being human among others.
