But in her new book Join the Club, Tina Rosenberg contends that peer pressure can also be a positive force through what she calls the social cure, in which organizations and officials use the power of group dynamics to help individuals improve their lives and possibly the world.
但在她新书《加入俱乐部》中，蒂娜·罗斯伯格认为，同伴压力也可以通过她称之为‘社会疗法’的方式成为一种积极的力量，即组织和官员利用群体动力的力量，帮助个人改善生活，甚至可能改变世界。
Rosenberg, the recipient of a Pulitzer Prize, offers a host of examples of the social cure in action: In South Carolina, a state-sponsored antismoking program called Rage Against the Haze sets out to make cigarettes uncool.
罗斯伯格是普利策奖的获得者，她提供了大量‘社会疗法’实际运作的例子：在南卡罗来纳州，一个由州政府支持的反吸烟计划名为‘怒对烟雾’，旨在让吸烟变得不再酷。
But on the general effectiveness of the social cure, Rosenberg is less persuasive.
但在社会疗法总体效果方面，罗斯伯格的说服力就较弱了。
