An Encyclopedia of Radical Helping

From "abundance" to "zinemaking," An Encyclopedia of Radical Helping invites the reader to wander through a collection of interconnected entries on helping and healing by over 200 contributors from the worlds of social work and family therapy; art and design; body work and witchery; organizing and education; and more. Privileging co-construction over diagnosis, wisdom over evidence, collective healing over individual cure-yet always blurring categories and embracing contradictions-this world-making collection reveals a pluriverse of helping practices grounded in love and freedom.
