Abstract
Contemporary populism takes many forms. I use the term “therapeutic populism” to show that the fight against the systemic causes of suffering has been delegated to individuals and their families. The therapeutic culture that has been spreading since the 1970s can be considered politics par excellence because it presupposes a definite division between the public and the private. In this article, I show that in the conditions of a systemic crisis, the lack of social cohesion prompts the power to look for some kind of programming project for the coordination of individuals.
