Why does everyday psychotherapy language feel both empowering and troubling?

TLDR: Because two practices are at play: mental health-speak, which empowers, and therapy-speak, which distorts.

A summary of our paper (w/ @Agrowoh ) in the great Imperfect Cognitions blog. 🙌

Our paper “De-idealizing hate speech: Hate narratives” is now out in Topoi! 📣 @vlc_lab @FiloLab_UGR

Carmela and I argue that we must resist an idealized understanding of hate speech in order to reveal more nuanced forms of it

Check it out!!

[Manuel Almagro Holgado @Agrowoh]

New paper accepted in Topoi!

Carmela Vieites and I argue that there's a risk in the literature of idealizing what hate speech is, and that such idealization must be resisted, especially for detection purposes.
