4.4 out of 5 stars from 393 ratings
  • 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.

  • 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

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Jon Mills, "End of the World: Civilization and Its Fate" (Rowman & Littlefield, 2024)
Q: Are the unconscious tendencies for self-eradication hardwired in us, evolution, or is it the result of external socialization drivers?
Mills suggests that both innate evolutionary forces and social influences play a role in our behavior, with self-destructive tendencies potentially arising from complex sociocultural contexts.
Jon Mills, "End of the World: Civilization and Its Fate" (Rowman & Littlefield, 2024)
Q: Can you encapsulate what the doomsday argument is?
Mills explains that if humans exist on a random timeline within the history of the universe, we are probably closer to our demise than not, as the world's population continues to increase and existential risks compound.
Vanessa Sinclair et al., "The Queerness of Psychoanalysis: From Freud and Lacan to Laplanche and Beyond" (Routledge, 2024)
Q: What prompted you to edit this book? How did this come to be?
The idea for the book began as a project on the queer heritage of psychoanalysis, evolving to focus on the queerness inherent within psychoanalysis itself, recognizing its historical complexities and the need for political acknowledgment.
Madness & Acute Religious Experiences, with Richard Saville-Smith
Q: Just to explain to our listeners why somebody who's not necessarily an Asianist is on the podcast, I just wanted to really underscore the tremendous importance of the intervention that you're making with this book and with your work.
The book's structure is in three parts. The first part focuses on religious studies discourse, while the second centers on psychiatry discourse, leading into a third part that applies the critique to the Gospel of Mark.
Madness & Acute Religious Experiences, with Richard Saville-Smith
Q: So what caught my attention, the way I discovered you is through your 2023 book, Acute Religious Experiences.
I'm an old person, I got my PhD from the University of Edinburgh in 2020, and I've been interested in the relationship between psychiatry and religious experience.
