Drs John Barrett & Steve Harris discuss different ideas and perspectives of madness. This included ways that people labelled with mental disorders can be alienated, which can worsen their condition. However, the discussion also reviewed ways of humanizing the experience of madness.

The "School of Suspicion," some of the powers of the unconscious, and shrinks in social and public spheres.

Dr. John Barrett shares his inspiration for this podcast and is joined by co-host Dr Steve Harris in a discussion about why people do podcasts. Due to user error and technical difficulties, we ask you to excuse us for a few awkward transitions. The episode actually had to be recorded in three segments edited out and spliced together. Hopefully there's still something worthwhile to listen to.

Dr. Steve Harris briefly introduces the concept that will lead lead to the pilot that include the other co-host and co-discussant Dr. John Barrett, who in the pilot, will share what inspired him to start a podcast. The other issue for the pilot is to discuss why people do podcasts.
