[Beyond therapy and religion: a relational approach to the spiritual construction of wellbeing].

Taking into account the discontinuity between the body and the soul as a manifestation of the dominant "great division" of modernity, this paper intends to reflect critically on the scope of this division in the analysis of the therapeutic dimension of New Age style spirituality. Through participant observation, open-ended interviews and shared experiences with members of a spiritual movement of Indian origin, The Art of Living, carried out between 2012 and 2017 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, we describe two processes. First, the institutional discourse of the movement and its location within public disputes regarding the tension between the therapeutic and the religious.

The origins and professionalization of cognitive psychotherapy in Argentina.

The growing popularity of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) has helped reshape the mental health scene in the city of Buenos Aires, historically the stronghold of psychoanalysis. In the early 1980s, CBT was infrequently used and sometimes overtly resisted in the field of mental health. Almost 3 decades later, the impact of CBT has increased dramatically in Argentina, not only in independent practice but also in the health system and in everyday life.
