  • Host sounds like he’s asleep

    Listening to the interview with Alison Miller about RAMCO. She’s doing a great job explaining but the host sounds like he’s asleep or incredibly bored. He mumbles at times and his voice trails off to almost a whisper.

  • Promoting a private equity funded trauma therapy ??

    The treatment offered by Stella for PTSD has no RTCs to show it’s effective yet it’s promoted by this podcast. Shame on you. We have enough quackery in psychology and suffering patients deserve evidence based treatments not scams.

  • Please stop using the term “borderline”

    It’s misogynist and homophobic and disenfranchises people who meet that criteria from mental health care and health care more broadly. And please have clinicians discuss this matter NOT literature/philosophy professors.

    Let’s take an irrelevant term and then globalize it to be about society.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Gloria Sibson Ayob, "The Concept of Emotional Disorder" (Oxford UP, 2025)
Q: In your first chapter, you set out the Basic Evaluation Dimensions Framework. Could you share the core idea behind that?
She explains that there are five evaluative dimensions—valence, efficacy, rational significance, existential significance, and interpersonal significance—used to assess emotions, and notes that different cultures may foreground different dimensions, shaping how we define disorder.
Lara Sheehi, "From the Clinic to the Streets: Psychoanalysis for Revolutionary Futures" (Pluto Press, 2026)
Q: How does the encounter with the Zionist intruder shape the argument for political commitments in theory and practice?
The incident demonstrates how psychic intrusions reveal the political economy of oppression and the inadequacy of a supposedly neutral psychoanalytic space, pushing the host to insist on political accountability and active resistance in all spaces, including professional conferences.
Lara Sheehi, "From the Clinic to the Streets: Psychoanalysis for Revolutionary Futures" (Pluto Press, 2026)
Q: Why begin with Fanon instead of Freud in psychoanalytic practice for liberation?
Because Fanon provides a revolutionary, anti-colonial framework that locates interior life within global power structures, making psychoanalysis a tool for dismantling oppression rather than reinforcing it.
Stuart Katz, "Still Here: A Story of Living with Suicidal Ideation" (Independent, 2026)
Q: When someone dies by suicide, what message do you want to send to families and friends who might feel they missed something?
It's not your fault; many factors are hidden and complex, and loved ones often carry tremendous responsibility and pain. The focus should be on support, open conversation, and recognizing signs early without blame.
Stuart Katz, "Still Here: A Story of Living with Suicidal Ideation" (Independent, 2026)
Q: You invented Daniel as a composite character. Why not write a memoir or a series of case histories?
A composite lets Daniel go to places a memoir or clinical case history cannot, making the experience accessible to a broader audience beyond professionals, including families and community leaders.
