Abstract
The following essay suggests a shift in emphasis from traditional modes of technology assessment to therapeutic ones. This shift in emphasis parallels to some extent the shift from technology assessment, a quantitative analysis of “facts”—to integrated impact assessment, a qualitative interpretation of a multiplicity of expressions concerning these same “facts.” By introducing therapeutic moments into the discourse of assessment, this essay suggests approaching the popular media and artistic artifacts as possible “applications” of therapeutic techniques usually confined to clinical sessions. As such, therapeutic moments may be as informative as “scientific” reports by experts.
