Interesting and novel approach. I admit to being sceptical when I started reading. Psychology is a rather dodgy field often highly speculative, abstract, generalising, and with petty evidence. Anarchist theory is often too idealistic, contradicted by my experience (even though I psychologically am an anarchist with a big need for peace and tolerance (leben und leben lassen)). Finally I kind of connected this with the aesthetic theory of Nicolas Bourriaud (relational aesthetics) of which I am rather critical, mainly because it tried to describe a common phenomenon, but really never got to the point and ended up just relying on the institution (the state).

But after reading this I am much more positive. Your thoughts surely are specualtive (as most anarchist theory :) but it do resonate with me empirically. What is called therapeutic alliance for example, might just be the fact that communication with a person you trust and whose wisdom (maybe a bad word - the best I could come up with) you acknowledge actually (sometimes) can bring a person beyond the determinism of it's own personality (psychologically or sociologically determined.)

I live in Denmark, together with the Netherlands one of the first places the new populism arose, and I have been through all the same reflections that fill the columns of newpapers, blogs etc. after the brexit and the Trump election. Aggression, sorrow, misanthropy you name it. But after more than 15 years of this I have simply come to the point where I only hope for a mending, a peace-effort, what you call social healing (as I understand you). You can not exclude 1/5 of the population (generally poor white) because the try to exclude 1/20 (generally poor Muslims). The problem is not a Danish one it could be applied to anywhere. Divide and conquer tactics is seen in India, in the US, basically everywhere and it work just as good now as it ever did.

So I really liked this simply because it resonates with my practical views of how things has to be done. Confrontation has to be peaceful, to have justice you have to have empathy etc. It is actually just common sense.
