Are all fires inherently bad? In episode 130 of Overthink, David and Ellie launch a four-part series on the elements, starting off hot with fire. They look at the role of fire in Greek mythology (focusing on the myth of Prometheus), the evolution of humans' relationship with fire, and fire's role as the universal metaphor. Why did Prometheus steal fire from the Olympians and give it to humans? Why does Bachelard believe that fire is “the” philosophical element par excellence? How did Western culture turn fire from friend to foe? And what would a non-antagonistic relationship to fire look like? In the bonus, your hosts give their fiery takes on arson and pyromania.Works Discussed: Gaston Bachelard, The Psychoanalysis of FireStephen J. Pyne, The PyroceneStephen J.

Grandpa Bill's Grunts & GroansGrandpa Bill! is using Anthony Metivier's insights on resistance to fuel my mnemonic practice for "The Greater Portland Crab Caper". GB is crafting a mini-mnemonic to help mysef remember that quote and its connection to my novel's themes, incorporating Memory Palaces and PAO (Person, Action, Object) examples.Mini-Mnemonic for "Resistance in Psychoanalysis"The core idea is to remember resistance as a hurdle, specifically in sharing vulnerability, and connect it to my creative process. Quote Excerpt: "part of the game of psychoanalysis is to consciously recognize your resistances, it's grueling to confront how fickle and feeble you can be as you wrestle to get yourself to share things that should have no consequence to the stranger you're paying for this privilege."Memory Palace: Your Office/Writing DenLet's use a familiar and relevant Memory Palace: my office for writing in my den where GB works on "The Greater Portland Crab Caper."Loci & PAO#TheVictoriousMind,#MagneticMemoryMethod,#Mnemonics,MemoryPalace,#PAOMethod,#Psychoanalysis,#CreativeWriting,#NovelWriting,#GrandpaBillWrites,#TheGreaterPortlandCrabCaper#WritersLife,#OvercomingResistance,MindsetForWriters,Creative Solutions for Holistic Healthcare
The Sullivan Institute for Research in Psychoanalysis was a radical psychoanalytic group that operated in New York City from the late 1950s until the early 1990s. The group was founded by Saul B. Newton and Dr. Jane Pearce, and began with unconventional ideas about therapy and society, promising liberation and emotional freedom. But over time, it evolved into a tightly controlled and manipulative organization—what many former members and experts now call a cult.Be sure to Subscribe, Rate, & Review on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Audible!Support the show by becoming a sponsor on our Patreon: www.Patreon.com/NYMysteryMachineNYMM Merch! https://nymysterymachine.myspreadshop.com/Have a strange and/or paranormal story?

Welcome to Rendering Unconscious – the Gradiva award-winning podcast about psychoanalysis & culture, with me, Dr Vanessa Sinclair. https://renderingunconscious.substack.com Rendering Unconscious episode 345. RU345: DR VANESSA SINCLAIR ON SCANSION IN PSYCHOANALYSIS AND ART IN THEORY AND PRAXIS https://renderingunconscious.substack.com/p/ru345-dr-vanessa-sinclair-on-scansion For the latest episode of Rendering Unconscious Podcast, I was interviewed about my book Scansion In Psychoanalysis & Art: The Cut In Creation (Routledge), and my ideas behind the project. You can order your own copy of the book Scansion In Psychoanalysis & Art: The Cut In Creation (Routledge) HERE: https://amzn.to/4jMubrj The book explores the intricate relationships between psychoanalysis and various art movements, particularly focusing on the avant-garde. The text is structured into several parts, each addressing significant themes and historical contexts that shaped both psychoanalysis and modern artistic expressions. Throughout the book, Sinclair employs the concept of scansion—a method of analyzing rhythm and structure—to draw parallels between artistic creation and psychoanalytic processes. She argues that both realms engage in a form of cutting or disruption that reveals underlying truths about human subjectivity. By focusing on fragmentation, the manuscript illustrates how both art and psychoanalysis seek to reconstitute identity and meaning in a world marked by chaos and change. In conclusion, Scansion in Psychoanalysis and Art: the Cut in Creationpresents a comprehensive examination of the dynamic interplay between psychoanalysis and art movements, emphasizing the transformative power of disruption and the continuous quest for understanding the self in relation to the world. Sinclair's work invites readers to reconsider the significance of art as a vehicle for exploring the unconscious and the complexities of human experience.

Although on the outside, Joan Peters' life appeared to check all of the desired boxes – a PhD at 25, a new job, and a loving relationship – and despite having no history of any “headline-making” traumas, privately Joan struggled with recurring nightmares and relationship challenges that left her confused, anxious, and unable to achieve relief with standard psychotherapy. In this episode of “Unpacking Possibility,” Joan shares how two psychoanalyses helped her uncover the deep-seated fears and “smaller” traumas that were derailing her happiness. Ultimately, engaging in this deep inner work helped solve the mystery of Joan's nightmares and healed her dreams, her relationships, and her life.For more on Joan K.

In this enlightening episode of Health Coach Conversations, Cathy Sykora speaks with Carole Sawo, a psychoanalyst, pattern analyst, and energy theorist who shares her profound insights into the human mind, spiritual awakening, and consciousness. Carole discusses how trauma, authenticity, and personal experience shape effective teaching and coaching, and why a rise in consciousness requires not just knowledge but responsible guidance. She emphasizes the potential dangers of ungrounded spiritual exploration and the critical need for educated support. Through years of study and unique approaches, Carole offers a rare synthesis of science, psychology, and metaphysics. In this episode, you'll discover: Why true coaches and teachers need authenticity and personal experience, not just book knowledge The misunderstood reality of schizophrenia and the importance of context and compassion How raising consciousness also brings unconscious material to the surface—and why that matters The importance of finding the right guide in today's saturated spiritual coaching world What the ego truly is and why dismantling it can be dangerous How religion has influenced our perception of consciousness and Carole's metaphysical interpretation of the Bible Why managing your psychological, physical, and spiritual boundaries is crucial for mental wellness Memorable Quotes: "Your ego is your boundary. It manages your mind... if you want to fast track into a psychosis, go meditate for 40 hours at a spiritual convention." "The rise of human consciousness really is an awareness. People are becoming consciously aware of their unconscious." "I don't go to church unless nobody's there—because then I can hear better." Bio: Carole Sawo is an author, lecturer, psychoanalyst, pattern analyst, and energy theorist. With academic credentials in psychology and psychoanalysis, Carole uniquely teaches holographically across disciplines, from science to metaphysics. Her College of the Mind offers global access to rare knowledge and educational experiences in Psychology, Psychoanalysis, Forensic Psychology, Philosophy, Metaphysics, Symbolism, and more.

“All of this together shaped how I began to think about mind, not as something to be mastered, but as a landscape of the unspoken whether it was ghosts or griefs or desires that were hard to relinquish. I saw that the ghost was not always an ‘other'. It was often intimate, tied to lost ones, sometimes to unmet desires, to unbearable longings, but in some ways possession was an attempt to keep close what was slipping away. The ghost doesn't just haunt, it feels as if it wants something, and we just have to learn to develop ears to listen to what it wants.” Episode Description: We acknowledge Loewald's concept of 'ghosts becoming ancestors' and consider the similarities and differences with those who hold 'ghosts' to be literal. Shalini shares with us her journey to open herself to the uncertainty and ambiguity of these externalized entities while appreciating both their cultural and intrapsychic sources. We learn of her family's involvement with exorcisms, especially her grandmother's "fearless warmth" and "empathy that saw beyond the terror of the ghosts." She considers the many facets of mind that are represented by 'ghosts' and the essential value of approaching them as guides to the "landscape of the unspoken." Shalini describes a long term engagement that she had with an individual who "taught me to receive the inchoate and horrific...to contain the brokenness and not interpret it away.. and to appreciate the glimpses of beauty in the most grotesque parts of self." Our Guest: Shalini Masih, a psychoanalytic psychotherapist and writer, grew up in India amidst priests and healers, witnessing spirit possession and exorcism. Now based in Worcestershire, UK, she holds a Master's degree in Psychoanalytic Studies from Tavistock & Portman, London, and a PhD from the University of Delhi. Mentored by psychoanalysts Michael Eigen and Sudhir Kakar, she's an award-winning scholar of the American Psychological Association. She has taught and supervised psychoanalytic psychotherapists in Ambedkar University, Delhi and in Birkbeck, University of London. Her acclaimed paper, 'Devil! Sing me the Blues', was nominated for Gradiva Awards in 2020. Her debut book is Psychoanalytic Conversations with States of Spirit Possession: Beauty in Brokenness.

This week I dive into some of the work Freud wrote later in his life, particularly a book called Civilization and its Discontents published in 1930. Freud believed that the evolutionary process we can use to trace the changes humans have gone through over the centuries can also explain why culture itself has evolved as it has. He basically thinks we are all self-deceiving, chronically unfulfilled and unsatisfied bots programmed to lie to ourselves above all else, and to avoid feeling guilt or shame based on unavoidable urges we all have by lying to ourselves and everyone else about those urges existing. Instead we redirect them. Killing someone in revenge becomes laser tag this weekend. Driving 100mph like an asshole to work everyday becomes gokarts and beers on Friday night. Cheating with the neighbor becomes an Only Fans subscription or a weekend at a swinger's convention. In this episode I cover morality, guilt, shame, intoxication, sublimation, civilization, and Freud's views on why all of these things exist in the human species. Support the show
Lost in storiesIs life a story or a sequence of events?Our narratives enable us to make sense of the complex, often confusing, world that we live in. And yet there is a risk that rather than helping us to truly understand this world, narratives can hide reality from us, providing delusional states of mind in its place. From witch hunts to cults, from war propaganda to religious honour killings, people are prepared to kill and die for stories they believe in, while others see these narratives as wildly false illusions.Matthew Beaumont is Professor of English at University College London, UK and the author of several books, including two on the topic of late nineteenth-century utopianism.

“In Systema, you also learn to link your breath with your gait. Once again, you can link their practices with Psychic Alternate Nostril Breathing. One possible assemblage of these practices while wandering neighborhoods around the world involves setting up a progressive challenge that absorbs the mind in focusing on the procedures. For the first cycle, inhale on your first step and exhale on your second. You can alternate your nostrils or breathe through both nostrils without the additional mental exercise. I do not believe it matters whether you inhale and exhale through your nostrils exclusively or also use your mouth, though I encourage you to experiment with both approaches, or decide based on pollution levels in your area. Observe the results and make changes as you see fit. 1 step = 1 inhale 1 step = 1 exhale Repeat 5× When you've done this five times, inhale over two steps and exhale over two steps. Then increase the number of steps you take while inhaling. 2 steps = 1 inhale 2 steps = 1 exhale Repeat 5× 3 steps = 1 inhale 3 steps = 1 exhale Repeat 5× 4 steps = 1 inhale 4 steps = 1 exhale Repeat 5× 5 steps[…]”“reverse the process by moving back down the number of steps from 10 to 1. For another variation, you can include breath holding. As with all these exercises, please consult a doctor before putting any of them into action, especially anything that involves holding your breath. To include breath holding while walking and alternating the breath between your nostrils, the process is simple: 1 step = 1 inhale 1 step = 1 step of holding oxygen in your lungs 1 step = 1 exhale Repeat 5× 2 steps = 1 inhale 2 steps = 2 steps of holding oxygen in your lungs 2 steps = 1 exhale Repeat 5× 3 steps = 1 inhale 3 steps = 3 steps of holding oxygen in your lungs 3 steps = 1 exhale Repeat 5× Add steps until you get to 10 (or as high as you can go) and scale down as desired. As an alternative, you can forgo paying attention to the number of steps and count instead. I will sometimes inhale to a count of 4, hold for a count of 4 and then exhale for a count of 4. It's helpful to involve your hands to keep track of the count.

This week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, I'm stepping back into my music-journalist roots (yes, I share a tidbit of my personal lore in this episode haha) and I'm leaning hard on my therapist brain to do something I've been dying to do: a Jungian-tarot psychoanalysis of Sleep Token's new single, “Damocles.” Beyond dissecting the song itself, this episode journeys into the artist's mind and unpacks the relentless push to outdo one's last creation, highlighting the unique ache of making art under capitalism.In this episode, I look at how a seemingly stripped-down metal track can crack open huge psychological themes of coping with fame, creative and emotional burnout, cognitive dissonance, and the inevitable collapse of any persona. Drawing on Jung's ideas of the Persona and Shadow, I unpack Vessel's lyrics line by line, explore the myth of Damocles, and show how the song mirrors key tarot archetypes like The Tower, The Moon, Seven of Wands, and The Emperor (but specifically The Emperor from the Somnia Tarot with that anvil-over-the-throne vibe).Along the way, you'll hear:Why the song's minimal arrangement is a clever metaphor for longing to return to simplicity amid skyrocketing successHow anonymity and adoration create cognitive dissonance and create emotional whiplashThe inner critic's cameo: “I know these chords are boring, but I can't always be killing the game”A tarot-infused reading of the lyrics that reveal a map from persona collapse to individuation and integrationEven if Sleep Token never hits your playlist, you'll still love hearing a therapist psychoanalyze a song and weave its themes through universal tarot archetypes.So grab your deck, hit play on “Damocles,” and join me for a deep dive where metal meets myth and tarot meets therapy.Want to find out all of the ways you can connect with me live this month?

RU342: RON OKUAKI LIEBER ON THE LONG JOURNEY OUT, PSYCHOANALYSIS, PSYCHEDELICS & POETRY: https://renderingunconscious.substack.com/p/ru342-ron-okuaki-lieber-on-the-long Rendering Unconscious episode 342. Rendering Unconscious welcomes Ron Okuaki Lieber to the podcast! He's here to discuss his book of poetry The Long Journey Out (2023). https://amzn.to/44Gsery Ron describes his journey from a restless youth to a career in psychoanalysis and poetry. He recounts a transformative psychedelic experience in his teens, which led him to explore literature and poetry. Lieber joined the Peace Corps in Costa Rica, where he deepened his interest in culture, language and the human condition. He later studied at Columbia University and then the Center for Modern Psychoanalysis. Lieber's poetry, influenced by formal training and personal experiences, is described as formal and crafted. He emphasizes the importance of the unconscious in both art and psychoanalysis, and his work reflects themes of longing and loss. Of Japanese and Jewish lineage, Ronald Okuaki Lieber was born in Tokyo. He grew up as an army brat, moving every year until the age of 14 when his parents settled in Petersburg, VA. He graduated from the College of William and Mary with a BS in Biology, then served two years as a Peace Corp volunteer on the Nicoya Peninsula in Costa Rica. He returned to live in NYC and eventually graduated from the MFA Program at Columbia University. He later began psychoanalytic training at the Center for Modern Psychoanalytic Studies. After graduation, He became the Director of the institute and editor of its journal, Modern Psychoanalysis. He is currently in private practice and has completed training as a guide at the Center for Medicine Work in Philadelphia. https://www.ronaldokuakilieber.com He has a poetry reading May 8, 2025 at Unnameable Books, 615 Vanderbilt Avenue (located inProspect Heights, Brooklyn) at 7:00 with Todd Colby and Mitch Highfill, music by Flose & Aura. https://www.ronaldokuakilieber.com/events For those interested in entering into psychoanalysis with me, I provide remote psychoanalytic treatment online, as well as consultation services for those in psychoanalytic formation.

Abby and Patrick are joined by writer and artist Lily Scherlis for a provocative reflection on the ideological subtexts, historical contexts, and real-world value of some of our moment's most bandied-about concepts and terms. Beginning with her 2023 essay for Parapraxis, “Boundary Issues: How Boundaries became the Rule for Mental Health – and Everything Else,” the interview spotlights Scherlis's nuanced yet relentless interrogation of how the vocabularies of research psychology have proliferated across popular culture and have become ubiquitous in the workplace, in bestsellers, on social media, and in our most intimate interactions. What exactly are “boundaries,” when did having (or not having) them become such an issue, and how does their invocation function? Touching on themes and topics across Scherlis's body of work, from CBT and DBT to the legacy of Dale Carnegie and beyond, the conversation builds to a consideration of the case of attachment theory. Unpacking the history, key concepts, and findings of this interdisciplinary field of study, Abby, Patrick, and Lily explore how its terms and categories have become so central to a cottage industry of online quizzes and therapeutic interventions. How do ideas of self-improvement and self-help relate to economic shifts in modes of production, material realities of employment precarity, and our felt sense of being together – and being alienated? What work do these terms do in the abstract, and what work are we as subjects expected to do in learning and using them? And how can we square our skepticism vis-à-vis such models and vocabularies with the traction they can give us when it comes to understanding ourselves, tolerating distress, navigating a difficult world, potentially changing our circumstances, and connecting with one another?Selected texts cited:Lily Scherlis, “Boundary Issues: How Boundaries became the Rule for Mental Health – and Everything Else”Lily Scherlis, “Skill Issues: Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Its Discontents”Lily Scherlis, “Going Soft: Future Proofing the American Worker”Danielle Carr, “Don't Be So Attached to Attachment Theory”Robert Karen, Becoming Attached: First Relationships and How They Shape Our Ability to LoveHeidi Keller.

Grandpa Bill welcomes back monthly Guest-Byron Athene Unmasking Fear: Our Deep Dive with Psychoanalyst Byron AtheneWelcome back to The BH Sales Kennel Kelp Holistic Healing Hour! I'm your host, Grandpa Bill, and I'm thrilled to have returning guest, and friend , Byron to tonight's incredibly insightful discussion. We're tackling a fundamental human experience that touches every aspect of our lives: fear. This isn't just about being startled by a loud noise; we're venturing into the deeper realms of anxiety, exploring how fear manifests within our families, and even the complex dynamic of fearing our own family.Tonight, I have the distinct pleasure of welcoming back the esteemed psychotherapist and psychoanalyst, Byron Athene, joining us all the way from the United Kingdom. Byron's profound understanding of the human psyche will illuminate the often-unseen roots and branches of fear, offering perspectives from both psychotherapeutic and psychoanalytic standpoints. We'll be unraveling how early experiences, unconscious conflicts, and family systems contribute to the fears that shape our lives.Prepare for a thought-provoking journey as Byron and I delve into the nuances of "fear in and of itself" – that primal response that can both protect and paralyze us. We'll then navigate the intricate landscape of "fear in family," examining how anxieties can ripple through generations and impact relationships. Finally, we'll confront the often-taboo topic of "fear of family," exploring the complex reasons why our closest kin can sometimes be a source of apprehension or distress.Byron's expertise will help us understand these different facets of fear, offering valuable insights into how they develop, how they manifest, and how we can begin to understand and navigate them in healthier ways. Whether you've grappled with specific anxieties, witnessed fear's impact on your family, or even experienced the challenging dynamic of fearing family relationships, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.Grandpa Bill Asks:Think for a moment: What is one fear, big or small, that you've noticed playing out within your family, perhaps repeating across generations?

The Healing Power of Psychoanalysis, Revealed by a Patient for the First Time I'm contacting you with a guest/segment idea on psychoanalysis by someone who undertook the journey, healed lifelong emotional and psychological wounds, and wrote a memoir that's the first in-depth personal account told from the patient's point of view. The Big Idea: Psychoanalysis is full of mysteries — it taps into the subconscious more than any other form of therapy and sets up a unique relationship between analyst and patient. No one really knows exactly how or why it works, just that it does. But one patient, in candidly revealing her own journey, invites readers into that very private patient experience as she grapples with hidden and haunting demons. Why it Matters: Whether due to taboo, fear, shame, or reluctance, very few patients have shared their journey of psychoanalysis with others, let alone written about the experience. Too many people are unaware of the transformative powers that this penetrating, multi-layered therapy has. Key Messages: In her unique memoir, written in the narrative style of Mary Karr, the author recounts her two analyses — one when she is in her twenties and another in her sixties — that form one continuous story of immense discovery and healing. She dramatizes firsthand accounts of how she and her two very different analysts unlocked the traumas, losses and terrors of her past, enabling her to confront and understand them, and finally feel free to fully enjoy her life.

In this episode, Matthew Pieknik and Christopher Russell speak with Gohar Homayounpour about her book Persian Blues, Psychoanalysis and Mourning (Routledge, 2023) Psychoanalysis is, Homayounpour tells us early in the interview, “a profession for dreamers, for people who don't know what to do with themselves. for freaks. This is not a profession for people in suits at universities who have a clear idea of the status quo. It's the absolute opposite. It's the carnival, you know, it's still unofficial, it's the subversive because that's the discourse of the unconscious. But this is a dangerous business, you know, and it should be for both analytic subjects in the room. I'm in favor of absence. I'm in favor of disturbance. I'm in favor of pollution and darkness. I think these are things that need to be celebrated.” In Persian Blues, Psychoanalysis and Mourning, Gohar Homayounpour plays a theme and variations on loss, love, and family against the backdrop of Iran's chaotic recent past. Homayounpour is simultaneously Shahrzad, the fearless storyteller, and Shahrzad's analyst: subjecting fairy tales to fierce new insights, while weaving an indigo thread through her own devastation on the death of her father and the wonders and horrors of motherhood. A blue thread, or melody, runs though the separations and emigrations of her family and patients driven or broken apart by war, and likewise through the fraught world inhabited by Persian women. This book breaks new psychoanalytic ground, offering a radical rejection of traditional clichés about Iran, and Iranian women, but its unsparing elegance transcends any political agenda, bridging the ocean of a shared and tragic humanity. Persian Blues, Psychoanalysis and Mourning will be of great interest to psychoanalysts and psychoanalytically informed readers, as well as those interested in grief, Iran, and women's experiences.

Vanessa Sinclair, PsyD is a psychoanalyst in private practice, who works remotely online with people all over the world.

She is a founding member of Das Unbehagen: A Free Association for Psychoanalysis, sits on the International Advisory Board for the journal Psychoanalysis, Culture & Society, and is Editorial Advisor for Parapraxis Magazine.Vanessa and I talk about her upcoming course with Morbid Anatomy, “The Cut in Creation: Exploring the Avant-Garde, Dada, Surrealism, Modern Art, Noise Music, and Performance Art through a Psychoanalytic Lens.” This course will be taking place on Sundays, from May 25- June 15, and all classes will be recorded for those who can't make it to the live class for whatever reason.As the Morbid Anatomy website states: Drawing on the theories of a variety of psychoanalysts, including Freud, Lacan and Laplanche, the course will explore the long and rich relationship between psychoanalysis and the fine arts – from painting and music to poetry, collage, photography, film, and performance art, including the use of technology and body modification to explore aspects of identity, gender and sexuality. Through immersion in the work of these artists and psychoanalytic ideas, participants will walk away with a better understanding of the transformative process inherent of the act of creation itself, especially when used as a powerful disruption of narrative, and hopefully feel inspired themselves to create! In this discussion, Vanessa gives a sneak peek into each of the four parts of the course. Some highlights are: talking about the inspiration for the course;outlining the events that led to the creation of psychoanalysis as well as the avant-garde movement;expanding on the historical backdrop – what was happening during these years that created this paradigm shift;looking at the years leading up to WW1, and what was taking place then, focusing on psychoanalysis and the avant-garde art scenes;focusing on surrealism and later developments in experimental film, followed by some discussion on the Beat Poets, and outlining how these three are interconnected;focusing on the birth of pop art, and art as it moved from the galleries to the streets, as well as performance art that included the body as an important vehicle/tool of expression.

In The Ego and the Id, Sigmund Freud uses the analogy of a horse and rider to illustrate the relationship between the ego and the id, emphasizing that we may have less control over the unconscious than we'd like to believe. Yet, a decade later in New Introductory Lectures on Psychoanalysis, Freud introduces the psychoanalytic motto: “Where id was, there ego shall be,” hinting at the possibility of greater agency than he originally proposed. This tension—between the limits of our control and the hope for transformation—has always intrigued me. In this episode, I explore that dynamic by sharing a few key quotes from Freud, and one from Mari Ruti that I believe sheds meaningful light on this enduring paradox.
Sigmund Freud was one of the most prominent figures of the 19th and 20th centuries. The founder of psychoanalysis, he's viewed as one of the fathers of modern day psychiatry and psychology. But for all the interest in Freud, there's also much intrigue around him and perhaps even confusion as to what exactly his theories were, how accurate they were, and what kind of importance they play in our modern understanding of the mind.

Disability Series, Episode #1 of 4. How and when scientists, doctors, and society started conceiving of the physical and emotional components of same-sex desire as a psychiatric condition of the mind? This was neither an ancient belief nor a postmodern (aka, post-1950) one, and it wasn't an exclusively American phenomenon either. Rather, the classification of same-sex desire as a “disorder” had its roots in the foundations of psychiatry as a profession in the 19th century. Over the last 100+ years, that classification impacted individuals all across the world. You've heard of Sigmund Freud, whose work in the 1920s standardized a form of talk therapy that sought to interpret actions, thoughts, and desires through a particular lens of analysis. “Psychoanalysis,” though short-lived as a psychiatric practice, was certainly part of the longer-term framing of queerness and transness as “mental illness.” But Freud is just the tip of the iceberg. Today we're digging into the history and relationship between psychiatry and sexuality; the scientific theories of sexuality that helped shape modern ideas about the relations between gender, genitals, desire, and identity; and the consequences of the medicalization of sexuality.

Abby and Patrick welcome returning guest Hannah Zeavin – scholar, write, editor, co-founder of the Psychosocial Foundation and Founding Editor of Parapraxis magazine – to talk about her brand-new book, Mother Media: Hot and Cool Parenting in the 20th Century. It's an exploration of the complex relationships that have tied together the figure of the mother as an abstraction, the work of mothering as a practical matter, and academic and popular discourses about what mothers should be and how they should go about doing it. What does it mean to think about the mother as a “medium” for containing, nurturing, and shepherding the development of a child, and why do debates about mothering pivot so invariably around questions of media consumption and technological mediation? The conversation spans the history of academic research into parenting from behaviorism to attachment theory; clinical and popular discourses about mothers from Freud to Dr. Spock; the profusion of tools that promise to “help” mothers with their kids; “good-enough” mothering, mother-blaming, and vicious double binds; moral, political, and legal debates about nannies, “helicopter mothers,” incarcerated mothers, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome; and much, much more.

Working with Parents in Therapy: A Mentalization-Based Approach, by Norka Malberg, Elliot Jurist, Jordan Bate, and Mark Dangerfield (American Psychological Association, 2023) presents parenthood as a developmental process that can be supported by a mentalization-based model of intervention. The authors first provide an overview of mentalization (i.e., making sense of the mental lives of ourselves and others) and its related concepts, as well as guidance on assessment, formulation, treatment, and supervision from a mentalization framework. They then review challenges and opportunities for parents across development, with rich case examples and vignettes for each developmental phase. Dr. Jurist, who has doctorates in both philosophy and clinical psychology, brings a philosophical lens to our discussion of this book. We talk about mentalization and its development, as well as its role in culture, psychological health, and parenting. About the Guest: Elliot Jurist, Ph.D., Ph.D. is Professor of Psychology and Philosophy at the Graduate Center and The City College of New York, CUNY.

Send us a textThe therapeutic landscape can be confusing for both practitioners and clients. Distinguishing between psychoanalysis and psychodynamic therapy represents one of the most common areas of misunderstanding—even among seasoned mental health professionals.We tackle this confusion head-on by exploring the fundamental differences between these two approaches. The classical psychoanalytic model employs that famous "blank slate" approach where therapists maintain neutrality as clients project their unconscious feelings. With multiple sessions per week potentially spanning years, psychoanalysis dives deep into unconscious processes through techniques like free association and dream analysis. Meanwhile, psychodynamic therapy offers a more accessible alternative—interactive, relationship-focused, and balancing insight with practical solutions for current challenges.For therapists preparing for licensure exams, we break down the key distinctions you'll need to know. We explore assessment tools unique to each approach, duration expectations, and appropriate client scenarios. Our practice question demonstrates exactly how this material might appear on your exam: when a client presents with interpersonal conflicts and needs both insight and actionable strategies, psychodynamic therapy typically represents the optimal choice. By understanding these therapeutic approaches and their distinct applications, you'll be better equipped to tailor your clinical work to each client's unique needs while confidently navigating your professional examinations. Whether you're studying for boards or looking to expand your therapeutic toolkit, these insights will serve as powerful additions to your professional knowledge base.If you need to study for your national licensing exam, try the free samplers at: LicensureExamsThis podcast is not associated with the NBCC, AMFTRB, ASW, ANCC, NASP, NAADAC, CCMC, NCPG, CRCC, or any state or governmental agency responsible for licensure.

“When we reconstruct [in a patient] a possible lacking object or role or function, we see that if the analyst himself has been able and the patient allowing him to be able to enter to a deep level the objective reality of the internal world of the patient, it can happen that some new function or position can be achieved. This is something that could be rare but it happens. This is one more reason for not blaming the length of some analytic treatments, because time is needed for entering that internal deep area where the analytic relation can create something new. Transformation is also one of the words that in our analytic world became more and more common and utilized because we have achieved the certainty that there can be a transformation. Not only an understanding or a clarification, but also a transformation of the quality of the objective world and of the relation with it.” Episode Description: We begin by describing the differences in psychoanalytic approaches today as compared to past generations. This shift has occurred alongside changes in patients' concerns; currently, individuals are disproportionately preoccupied with how they perceive themselves through others' eyes, rather than grappling with internal conflicts related to guilt. Stefano posits that this increased narcissistic investment stems from alterations in family structures and premature disruptions in "the physiological fusionality" with the early maternal caretaker. We discuss how this sense of distrust in the availability and reliability of caretakers affects the manner in which one introduces a patient into analysis, as well as the broader cultural emphasis on superficial bodily care - what he terms the aperitif experience. We consider the fundamental importance of the depth of object relations in understanding sexual diversities. Stefano concludes by reading the final paragraph from his book, which acknowledges the invaluable lessons learned from his analyst. We reflect on the enduring presence within him of this profoundly personal connection.

The class features visuals, slides, and conversations, and has attracted a diverse group of artists, astrologers, and psychoanalysts. We highlight synchronicities, such as references to Freud's seminal dream “Irma's Injection” and Louise Bourgeois' spiders, and discuss the astrological significance of Neptune entering Aries. We discuss our upcoming workshop on Freud, Lacan, and Jung, and their relationship to art, where we'll explore dreams and life as creative expressions, and artworks as mirroring dreamwork. I also mention my upcoming classes on avant-garde art and psychoanalysis at Morbid Anatomy, and love for encouraging independent research and diverse perspectives. EMMALEA RUSSO is a writer.

RU337: Myriam Sauer, Griffin Hansbury, M.E. O'Brien & Tobias Wiggins on The Queerness of Psychoanalysis: https://renderingunconscious.substack.com/p/ru337-myriam-sauer-griffin-hansbury Myriam Sauer, Griffin Hansbury, M.E. O'Brien, and Tobias Wiggins are here to discuss their contributions to The Queerness of Psychoanalysis: From Freud and Lacan to Laplanche and Beyond (Routledge 2025) edited by Vanessa Sinclair, Elisabeth Punzi, and Myriam Sauer: https://amzn.to/4l84P8q The Queerness of Psychoanalysis: From Freud and Lacan to Laplanche and Beyond is an exploration of psychoanalysis' often complicated and fraught history with thinking about queerness, as well as its multifaceted heritage. Throughout the chapters, the contributors write about psychoanalysis' relationship with queerness, the ways in which queerness is represented in the psychoanalytic archive, and how that archive endures in the present and creates various disruptive effects both within and beyond the clinic. Each chapter from the global cohort of contributors approaches queerness from a different angle: they consider the literary aspects of queerness' presence in the analytic world; the clinical complexities of working with queer and trans people; metapsychological inclusion and exclusion of queerness, and many other subjects. Taken together these contributions constitute a decisive intervention into the psychoanalytic canon. They are an unabashed demand for accepting and furthering the representation and inclusion of queer, and in particular trans, people within psychoanalysis. It is a call for action to utilize and deepen psychoanalysis' enormous explicatory powers and bring together voices that have so far been denied a unity of expression, while critically reevaluating psychoanalysis' historical relationship to queerness. Written almost exclusively by analysts, scholars, and activists who identify as trans and/or queer, this important volume puts theory into practice by centering queer and trans voices.

“The original papers that were written about the analyst's unconscious being attuned to the patient's unconscious by Hyman and Racker, in both cases they talk about this phenomenon. But both of them utter a caution, which is that one always has to take into account one's own ‘mishegas'. Essentially, what they're saying is, the unconscious is pretty individualistic and we have our own things, and we have to consider that possibly it's our own difficulties, our own unconscious, that is playing a bigger role in our countertransference reaction to the patient's unconscious.” Episode Description: We begin by discussing the meaning of the many italics throughout the book and my sense of their being an expression of Fred's wish to be carefully understood. This is part of our conversation where we examine how internal reactions are used to comprehend another person's mind. There are a number of themes to this work, and to Fred's contributions over the years, which focus on helping individuals understand the way their mind works, as distinct from the particular contents of their mind. One of the gifts of psychoanalysis is to facilitate patient's discovery of the freedom to think which allows for a post-termination capacity for self-analysis. We discuss how self-criticism can serve as an unconscious lifeline, the importance of attending to the need for silence as distinct from what is not being said and the seductiveness of gossip, to name but a few of the topics in the book that we cover. Fred closes by describing "The wonderful thing about being a psychoanalyst is there are always things to learn and ways to grow." Our Guest: Fred Busch, Ph.D. is a Training and Supervising Analyst at the Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute. He has published eight books, and over 80 articles on psychoanalytic technique, along with many book reviews and chapters in books.

Todd McGowan joins the show once again, this time to discuss his newest book "Pure Excess: Capitalism and the Commodity". Together, he and Breht discuss commodity fetishism, the tensions between Marxism and psychoanalysis, what a critique of the subjective aspects of capitalism offers anti-capitalist politics, the "superstructural malaise" of late capitalism, Desire and Lack, capitalism's death drive, how to resist becoming a neoliberal subject, and much more. "Drawing on psychoanalytic theory, McGowan shows how the production of commodities explains the role of excess in the workings of capitalism. Capitalism and the commodity ensnare us with the image of the constant fulfillment of our desires―the seductive but unattainable promise of satisfying a longing that has no end. To challenge this system, McGowan turns to art, arguing that it can expose the psychological mechanisms that perpetuate capitalist society and reveal the need for limits. Featuring lively writing and engaging examples from film, literature, and popular culture, Pure Excess uncovers the hidden logic of capitalism―and helps us envision a noncapitalist life in a noncapitalist society."

March 3rd, 1907. Dr. Sigmund Freud invites a guest into his office, Dr. Carl Jung. This is a meeting of the minds, about... the mind. Psychology. Freud and Jung will spend the next 13 hours discussing the unconscious, the hidden forces in our brains that guide our thoughts and decisions. They're two of the first doctors to explore this mysterious terrain, and this marathon meeting will spark a true friendship – until it all comes crashing down. How did Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung help shape the way we understand the human mind, that elusive unconscious? And why did their friendship eventually fall apart? Special thanks to our guests, Satya Doyle Byock, Jungian psychotherapist and author of Quarter Life, The Search for Self in Early Adulthood, and director of the Salome Institute of Jungian Studies; Dr. James Hollis, Jungian psychoanalyst and author of A Life of Meaning: Relocating Your Center of Spiritual Gravity; and Dr. George Makari, psychiatrist, historian, and author of Revolution in Mind: The Creation of Psychoanalysis, and director of the DeWitt Wallace Institute of Psychiatry at Weill Cornell.
