  • Repetitive liberal propaganda

    Constantly recycled and naval gazing discussions essentially demonizing people who disagree with the liberal consensus as mentally impaired. Why did this become a political podcast

    Oh great another one about racism

  • Psychoanalysis is political

    This is a great podcast that covers a wide range of topics related to psychoanalysis and its practice. I’ve noticed several reviews criticizing its “liberal” bent, but I think they forget or ignore that psychoanalsyis was and is inherently progressive in its attempt to confront very difficult issues that arise in society.

  • Drifted off the mark.

    Both of my favorite psychoanalysis podcasts drifted into easy, contemporary leftward social commentary. I just checked the other reviews, and I see many others have registered this and stated it.

  • Political

    Please don’t politicize psychoanalysis with critical theory and assessment of conservative politics as pathological. It’s inappropriate and not particularly astute.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Elizabeth Cotton, "UberTherapy: The New Business of Mental Health" (Policy Press, 2025)
Q: How does the platformization of therapy affect wages and working conditions for therapists?
Platformization tends to push toward lower wages, dynamic pay, and lower protections; this is linked to wage theft and commodification of care, which the author argues must be confronted through unions, surveys, and consumer advocacy.
Elizabeth Cotton, "UberTherapy: The New Business of Mental Health" (Policy Press, 2025)
Q: Elizabeth, what motivated you to write UberTherapy and explore its business models?
Her background in trade unions and international labor organizing, plus experience with gig economy precarity, shaped her view that therapy is increasingly governed by extractive business models; the book invites organizing UberTherapists and examining wages, protections, and the role of consumer awareness.
Aliza Einhorn, "Tarot of the Unconscious: Uncovering the Hidden Link Between Psychoanalysis and the Cards" (Weiser Books, 2026)
Q: Do you see Freud's ideas as compatible with Tarot, or are there tensions that readers should be aware of?
There are tensions, especially around fixed interpretations of Freud versus the flexible, reader-driven meanings of Tarot; the book presents Freud as a central figure to interrogate but also reframes him in a way that acknowledges the complexity of his ideas and how they can illuminate the unconscious when paired with Tarot readings.
Aliza Einhorn, "Tarot of the Unconscious: Uncovering the Hidden Link Between Psychoanalysis and the Cards" (Weiser Books, 2026)
Q: What motivated you to write a book that links psychoanalysis with Tarot, and how did your own training influence this decision?
I found that the two parallel tracks—Tarot practice and analytic training—were converging in meaningful ways as I taught Tarot again and reflected on my clients' experiences, which led me to frame Tarot not as fixed meaning but as a method of free association that resonates with psychoanalytic process.
Arpan Roy, "Relative Strangers: Romani Kinship and Palestinian Difference" (U Toronto Press, 2025)
Q: What does mnemonic difference mean, and why is kinship the vehicle for preserving this difference?
Roy explains mnemonic difference as a cultural repository transmitted across generations, with kinship and the dar (the house and its ethics) serving as the social framework that conserves this mnemonic inventory even when material markers fade.
