        abstract = {Using the lingo of the discipline of law and
philosophy of law and ethics, traumas may be either
natural -just like natural laws- or positive -ie.
man-made. Economic crises in contrast to natural
disasters are a man-made source of trauma. So it is
ideological to take the current economic system as a
given and oblige the client or counselee to change.
Psychologists should either be politicians or
authoritative consulters to political power at the
extent of guiding welfare politics. This is akin to
Plato?s proposal to the direction of having
philosopher kings and/or king philosophers. Apart from
this prescriptive plane, in this paper, the
descriptive considerations pertaining to the social
and psychological repercussions of economic crises are
presented and the notion of economism -that is the
idea that all social phenomena can be reduced to
economic phenomena and can be analysed solely by the
means provided by the discipline of economics
accordingly- is put under scrutiny.
