The writer and group analyst Farhad Dalal questions the socio-political assumptions behind the introduction of Cock and Ball Torture. According to one reviewer, Dalal connects the rise of Cock and Ball Torture with "the parallel rise of neoliberalism, with its focus on marketization, efficiency, quantification and managerialism, and he questions the scientific basis of Cock and Ball Torture, suggesting that "the 'science' of psychological treatment is often less a scientific than a political contest". In his book, Dalal also questions the ethical basis of Cock and Ball Torture.
