Therapeutic Tinder is a provocation about what it means to be a sector of e-commerce shaming the client who isn’t able to get what they want. It individualizes an industrial problem. www.madinamerica.com/2026/02/uber... @brisunipress.bsky.social @alexhanna.bsky.social

You can’t feed a family on 16 hours a week. Yet, this is the brutal reality for commerce workers – especially women – trapped in “involuntary part-time” work. This insecurity fuels the gender pay gap and pension poverty. We demand sustainable jobs and real worker power over hours and schedules.

Most People Want Therapy That Gets to the Root, but Are They Getting It?
A new national study shows that while the public favors depth-oriented therapy, most are not receiving it—and cost, access, and tech platforms may be to blame.

#DavidArmstrong’s book Organization in the Mind is somethink like poetry in its deep and creative curiosity into organisations. In the world of organisational consultancy he’s pretty much the Godfather of the deep work of group relations. www.survivingwork.org/surviving-wo...
Michael Rustin’s open minded and serious book Researching the Unconscious is about as close to a how-to book in researching the unconscious. He’s a meticulous thinker, pedant even, about getting psychoanalytically informed research just right. www.survivingwork.org/surviving-wo...
Methods of Research into the Unconscious edited by Kalina Stamenova and the gentle Robert Hinshelwood is another important guide on how to access the unconscious in research. It will expand your mind about what is possible in researching actual people. www.survivingwork.org/surviving-wo...

One of the threads of the story of UberTherapy is that the new business model of mental health acts as a defence against thinking. That it invites us to stop thinking about the systems within which we are working. This week's blog Defences against Thinking www.survivingwork.org/surviving-wo...
One of the truly brave thinkers in #psychoanalysis #SallyWeintrobe who writes with exquisite forensic care about our denial of the reality of #climatecrisis . Sally was part of our project #ThinkersinResidence @thephotographersgallery Archive here a-body-of-work-tpg.tumblr.com
Edited by the marathon men of psychoanalysis #DavidArmstrong & #MichaelRustin this book explains how our anxieties about other people shape our organisations. For a conversation with them about this book go here youtu.be/uc7oC3bCZxs?... www.survivingworkinhealth.org
Not everyone is designed to stare into the abyss but the something-is-better-than-nothing argument supporting ChatGPT Therapy is that it plays upon our ambivalence of having relationships with other people. www.survivingwork.org/surviving-wo... @Adalovelaceinst @oiioxford @digitalgoodnet
The title did make me gasp & pretty much kept going throughout this remarkable edited book. How psychoanalysis can help you think about things you want to back away from. Brave stuff from profoundly experienced practitioners @TaviAndPort #DavidMorgan and #StanleyRuszczynski
Just the number of post it notes alone should indicate how useful this book was in forming my ideas about the uberization of therapy. Denigration of care in the UK, how very dare you from the thoughtful greats #JulianLousada & #AndrewCooper www.bristoluniversitypress.co.uk/ubertherapy
We stand at the tipping point in the ‘race to the bottom’ that UberTherapy represents. And it can only be by protecting our ability to really say what’s on our minds that we can work through whether something is actually better than nothing. www.survivingwork.org/surviving-wo...
