4.4 out of 5 stars from 397 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.

Jane G. Goldberg, "Wired for Why: How We Think, Feel, and Make Meaning" (2025)
Q: What do you think makes a difference in psychoanalytic work with cancer patients?
I ask them about their thoughts and feelings to understand their mind, and usually, where you begin with a patient is not where you end with them.
Jane G. Goldberg, "Wired for Why: How We Think, Feel, and Make Meaning" (2025)
Q: Why did you change the title from 'A Revolutionary Brain' to 'Wired for Why'?
I decided to change the title because I realized there's no point in writing only about the brain; it's also about integrating emotions and feelings with our thoughts.
Jane G. Goldberg, "Wired for Why: How We Think, Feel, and Make Meaning" (2025)
Q: What is your hope for the reader?
I want it to find everybody on the planet; it's meant to be a popular book and it's very narrative-driven.
Ashis Roy, "Intimacy in Alienation: A Psychoanalytic Study of Hindu-muslim Relationships" (Yoda Press, 2024)
Q: How did you find these couples for your research?
Finding the couples was challenging; it involved speaking to couples who had been married for at least a decade and had processed their relationship challenges to some extent, often reached through word of mouth or colleagues.
Ashis Roy, "Intimacy in Alienation: A Psychoanalytic Study of Hindu-muslim Relationships" (Yoda Press, 2024)
Q: What motivated your writing of this book?
The book was motivated by a personal inquiry into biases against the Muslim community and a desire to explore how intimacy can offer new avenues for understanding between Hindus and Muslims.
