Drawing on Plato, Husserl, and the work of Bernard Stiegler, this paper diagnoses our era as the age of stupidity; an era in which psychotherapy is increasingly playing a subservient role to the ideology on neoliberalism. By reconfiguring and subverting its role, however, psychotherapy can provide the Winnicottian transitional space for the creation of anamnesis, or recollection, and the re-creation of autonomous and cooperative thought and practice.
