Foluke Taylor

Foluke Taylor is a psychotherapist and author whose book Unruly Therapeutic explores the intersection of psychotherapy, social justice and the politics of healing. Taylor examines how therapeutic practice can be transformed by engaging with questions of race, power and systemic oppression, arguing for approaches to therapy that acknowledge and address the broader social forces that shape mental health. Her work challenges conventional therapeutic frameworks that focus exclusively on individual psychology without considering the social, political and cultural contexts that contribute to emotional distress. Taylor draws on her clinical experience and her engagement with critical theory to create a work that speaks to both therapists seeking to deepen their practice and individuals interested in the politics of mental health. Her writing is intellectually rigorous while remaining accessible and practically relevant. The audiobook edition brings her important contribution to the decolonisation of therapeutic practice to listeners interested in mental health, social justice and the transformation of professional practice.
