Norman Fairclough, in his fascinating study \u201cLanguage and Power<\/strong>\u201c, says that because institutions have been forced to use less direct ways of securing and exercising power, that many institutions have launched a counter-offensive. He suggests that providing counseling is just one of these counter-offensives which has colonized workplaces, schools, etc.:<\/p>\n
