Keywords: Bronisław Świderski; Assistant Death; therapy; death; gender;
Summary/Abstract: The article shows, using Bronislaw Swiderski’s book The Assistant of Death as an example, the possibilities and dangers of narrative therapy. It seems that any kind of therapy is just/as a defense mechanism to help us persevere in the human condition and face its mortality. The book also points out the dangers of contemporary capitalist democracy, which mercantilises human life and death and moves towards dystopia.
