I think Habermas´ conception of the reproduction of the symbolic structures of
the life-world (identitity, solidarity, meaning or: person, society, culture) by
communicative action might be a relevant frame for thinking about
abusement-treatment.
Is it possible to ground treatment on communicative action? What about the
validity-claims (authenticity, normative justice, truth) ?
