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.

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.

Osamu Kitayama and Jhuma Basak, "Psychoanalytic Explorations into the Primal Relationship in Japan and India" (Routledge, 2025)

The guests describe a long, iterative collaboration that grew from intellectual exchanges at IPA Congresses, mutual mentorship, and shared interdisciplinary interests, culminating in a joint work that blends Indian and Japanese psychoanalytic perspectives.
