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

The program centers on psychoanalytic theory applied to broad social issues, with frequent deep-dives into politics, race, gender, trauma, and culture. Episodes feature scholars and practitioners who discuss recent books, clinical approaches, and how psychoanalysis intersects with activism, social justice, and cross-cultural perspectives.
