  • 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.

Lara Sheehi, "From the Clinic to the Streets: Psychoanalysis for Revolutionary Futures" (Pluto Press, 2026)
Q: How does the book relate to your earlier work, Psychoanalysis Under Occupation, and what differentiates this new approach?
Sheehi explains that this book is not for clinicians primarily; it broadens focus to social struggles, decolonization, and the political ethics of psychoanalysis, while building on her Palestinian-centered analysis and the imperative of connecting clinical theory to liberation movements.
Must We Drown in the Wake? Notes on Addressing Racism in Psychoanalytic Institutes
Q: Could you share how your personal activist history intersects with your analytic work and how this shapes your approach to racism in psychoanalysis?
She explains a long-standing activist background in reproductive rights and AIDS activism, conceiving of change within health policy as a model for how marginalized groups can mobilize to alter institutional structures, and how this informs a candid critique of psychoanalytic training environments.
Must We Drown in the Wake? Notes on Addressing Racism in Psychoanalytic Institutes
Q: So, Tracy, if you could begin by telling us how do you get involved in thinking about this issue that the article documents so deeply and what has this process been like for you?
Tracy describes her involvement with CMPS starting a decade ago, working with a group of white colleagues to explore why there were few Black candidates, and how this evolved into a broader examination of institutional dynamics, activism, and the Holmes Commission, with an aim to both document and change the field from within.
Stephen Grosz, "Love's Labour: How We Break and Make the Bonds of Love" (Vintage, 2026)
Q: To the extent that one can know one's motivations, what motivated you to write this book?
Grosz explains that the books emerge from his personal experience as an analyst and his life stages, combining professional work with a desire to convey lived experience of psychoanalysis to a broader audience.
Osamu Kitayama and Jhuma Basak, "Psychoanalytic Explorations into the Primal Relationship in Japan and India" (Routledge, 2025)
Q: And how do you see the erasure or inclusion of feminine subjectivity in your frameworks, particularly in the context of cross-cultural psychoanalysis?
They discuss the erasure and re-presence of feminine subjectivity, noting different cultural scripts: Western models often foreground maternal rupture and individuation, while Indian and Japanese contexts emphasize relational embeddedness and maternal fusion as alternative developmental pathways.
