"There are a huge array of medical dynamics that people endure, and when they leave a lasting impact, a word that we don't use widely enough is the word 'trauma.' There's an entire category of phenomena in the medical arena that are, in fact, traumatic. One way we know that these experiences are traumatic is that we know that huge portions of people who experience things like cancer do indeed develop problems like [post-traumatic stress disorder]," James C. Jackson, PsyD, research professor at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, TN, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS, during a conversation about understanding medical trauma in oncology.

Highlights From This Episode "Many people have a notion about what medical trauma is, but perhaps they lack a definition. I use a definition that is deliberately broad because I think it is better to be inclusive than exclusive. A medical trauma to me is a medical experience or a medical encounter that basically leaves a mark. It leaves an emotional mark, and that mark is significant enough to disrupt your daily life." TS 2:06 "When somebody develops a life-threatening illness—let's say cancer—it's not their problem only. It's very much a family problem. It affects any manner of people. There is literature that says that family members of people with life-threatening conditions often have rates of PTSD that are every bit as high as the patients do. There's also literature that says that if we can identify this issue as a family problem—a family challenge, not just an individual challenge—then very often that patient is going to do better." TS 8:23 "We just need to make space for people to feel however they feel. And we need to emphasize, I think, that in some ways, even though there's no cancer on the scan, cancer casts a long shadow in the lives of people, which is why when patients after cancer see their primary care provider, when they come back for a checkup with oncology, we need to continue this conversation of 'How is your mental health? Are you okay? How's your anxiety? How are you managing?' … We need to be really curious and kind, and we need to query people about how they're doing, even if officially they don't have cancer." TS 16:20 "Trauma-informed care has become a bit of a buzzword in our culture. But when it is engaged correctly, I think it's really important. And I think in a nutshell, what it means is that as providers, we need to recognize that some situations and circumstances are likely to be traumatic, and we need to pivot and engage people differently now that we know that. Specific features of trauma-informed care might be we're really going to value your emotional safety. We're going to emphasize that. We are going to emphasize boundaries. We are going to ask your permission instead of telling you how to do things. We are going to be really attentive to the language we use to engage you because we're aware of there might be things about your situation that are really triggering." TS 28:15 "I think one [misconception] certainly is that it is only afflicting and affecting people who are frail or weak—not very strong. That's emphatically not true. But that's a popular misconception—that if I'm strong enough, if I'm resilient enough, this experience will not be traumatic to me. It's just not true. Medical trauma doesn't just happen in emotionally weak people. Medical trauma can impact people of all sorts." TS 33:42 "The other misconception, I think, is that there is no hope for people in the throes of medical trauma. I'm not advocating 'hopium,' It's a term that was coined, I think, during the pandemic. I don't think that living with medical trauma is all rainbows and unicorns and shiny things. But the truth is, if you get the treatment that you need, you can find a way to thrive with medical trauma even as you're impacted by medical trauma. This, this 'both-and-ness' is really true. You can both be adversely affected and you can even find some beauty in your struggle. Both can be true." TS 34:13 "I wish people understood that there is a name for this phenomenon. We're naming it here today medical trauma. Not everyone who has cancer has medical trauma—not even close—but there are many people who do. And I think many of those people, they don't quite have a name for it. And when I introduce this name for it—trauma—many of them say, 'Oh, my gosh, that makes so much sense. I didn't quite understand why I was struggling so much with this. I didn't quite understand why it casts such a long shadow in my life. I didn't really understand why I was having panic attacks every time I had to get another scan at the oncology office to see if my breast cancer had returned. Now I understand. Now I understand it's because it was trauma.'" TS 35:09

Dr. Adam Dorsay introduces SuperPsyched and highlights that women have ADHD yet up to 75% may be undiagnosed, then interviews psychologist Dr. Michelle Frank, co-author of A Radical Guide for Women with ADHD. They discuss why girls and women are often overlooked, the relief and grief that can accompany later-in-life diagnosis, and how medication should feel supportive rather than numbing or euphoric amid stigma. Frank describes how ADHD can be misattributed to character, the need to rule out or address co-occurring issues (depression, anxiety, trauma/PTSD, sleep disorders, head injury), and women-specific considerations including PMDD, postpartum risk, and hormonal impacts across the menstrual cycle and menopause. Frank shares her own late-recognized ADHD experiences, masking and imposter syndrome, and notes children with ADHD may receive 20,000 more negative comments by age 10. They outline multimodal supports for a teen diagnosis (curious adults, accommodations, coaching, therapy, family validation), emphasize avoiding shame spirals when symptoms recur, and recommend learning about ADHD, connecting with community, self-compassion, and taking small risks toward vulnerability.00:00 Welcome to SuperPsyched00:28 Women and Undiagnosed ADHD01:09 Meet Michelle Frank04:21 Late Diagnosis Relief and Grief07:40 Medication That Fits08:27 Stigma and Self Blame11:16 Ruling Out Lookalikes12:47 Hormones PMDD and Menopause16:51 Michelles ADHD Journey22:59 Imposter Syndrome and Masking27:24 Negativity Bias and Shame29:05 Susie Treatment Roadmap34:47 Practical Tips and Connection36:41 Final Insight Vulnerability38:13 Closing and ShareHelpful Links:Michelle Frank, PhDMichelle Frank, PhD LinkedInA Radical Guide for Women with ADHD Book

Today is June 19th, Juneteenth Freedom Day. While not the day when slavery officially ended in the US, this is the day Americans come together to remember and celebrate the end of slavery. In this special hour of Inside Sources, we take a closer look at the holiday itself and at today's celebrations. We also take a deep dive into the impacts on Utah's economy because of the Black community and Black-owned businesses. For those conversations, Greg and Holly are joined by Betty Sawyer, NAACP Ogden branch president and Sidni L. Shorter, PsyD, President and CEO of the Utah Black Chamber. We also talk about the unique family history challenges that come for those of African descent; we're joined in the studio by Thom Reed of FamilySearch International for that part of the story.

Most productivity advice for ADHD is written for people who just need a nudge. If you have ADHD, you need something more honest than that.Ari Tuckman holds a PsyD and an MBA, has authored five books on ADHD, and has spent over 40,000 hours in clinical work with adults. He co-chairs the largest ADHD conference in the US and has been quoted in the New York Times, CNN, and the Washington Post.In this conversation, Ari breaks down what productivity actually means for ADHD brains, why "don't get in trouble" is not a good enough goal, and how business owners can use external structure and the right people to focus on where they add the most value.Connect With Ari Tuckman:  www.DrAriTuckman.com.What We CoverWhy simplistic productivity advice fails ADHD adults and what to look for insteadThe difference between managing ADHD to survive versus building a life worth havingHow to hire an assistant who will act as external executive function, not just a schedulerThe role of reputation-building when ADHD makes consistency hardAri's "things lead to things" principle and how it applies to business growth P.S.

In this episode of The Broken Pack: Stories of Sibling Loss, Dr. Dean talks with surviving sibling Anne Pinkerton, author of Were You Close? A Sister's Quest to Know the Brother She Lost. Anne's brother David, twelve years her senior and an elite athlete and radiologist, died suddenly in 2008 after falling while hiking a 14er in the Colorado mountains. More than seventeen years later, Anne shares how losing the big brother she worshipped reshaped her understanding of sibling loss, continuing bonds, and the power of writing through grief.Anne and Dr. Dean unpack the question that gives the book its title, "Were you close?"  as well as why it's far too blunt a tool for the complexity of any relationship. They talk about the hierarchy of grief that pushes surviving siblings to the margins, the disorienting limbo of those first days, the strangeness of out-aging an older brother, the small signs Anne takes as a hello from David, and how a bereavement writing group became an MFA and, eventually, a published memoir.In this episode you will:Hear Anne's story of losing David and what it means to be a surviving sibling nearly two decades on. Learn why "Were you close?" and questions like it can leave grieving siblings feeling unseen  Be reminded that there's no timeline for grief and how writing through grief aids memoriesExplore how  joy and gratitude can grow alongside the loss.Connect with Anne Pinkerton:Website: https://annepinkertonwriter.com Read  the bookInstagram: @annepinkertonwriter Faceboo: TikTok: @annepinkertonwriter Send us Fan MailSupport the showIf you would like more information or to share your own sibling loss story, please contact Dr. Angela Dean at contact@thebrokenpack.com or go to our website, thebrokenpack.com.

Where do we get ideas about the lives we want? And, what do we do - and fail to do - about actually getting them? In The Life You Want Adam Phillips uses psychoanalytic and literary approaches to show that we are obsessed by the idea of our lives being ones we want and enjoy rather than merely endure, tolerate or make the most of. Through a series of interlinked essays, Phillips explores the difficulties we have around the whole idea of enjoying - and fashioning - our lives in cultures that insistently promote enjoyment while making it very difficult for so many people. Exploring the personal and political overlap in the issue of our lives, The Life You Want (FSG, 2026) is a profound examination of our ambivalence about enjoyment, and indeed, wanting. Adam Phillips, formerly a principal child psychotherapist at Charing Cross Hospital, London, is a practicing psychoanalyst and a visiting professor in the English department at the University of York. He is the author of numerous works of psychoanalysis and literary criticism, including Missing Out, Unforbidden Pleasures, In Writing, Attention Seeking, On Wanting to Change, On Getting Better, and On Giving Up. He is also the general editor of the Penguin Modern Classics Freud translations and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature.

Where do we get ideas about the lives we want? And, what do we do - and fail to do - about actually getting them? In The Life You Want Adam Phillips uses psychoanalytic and literary approaches to show that we are obsessed by the idea of our lives being ones we want and enjoy rather than merely endure, tolerate or make the most of. Through a series of interlinked essays, Phillips explores the difficulties we have around the whole idea of enjoying - and fashioning - our lives in cultures that insistently promote enjoyment while making it very difficult for so many people. Exploring the personal and political overlap in the issue of our lives, The Life You Want (FSG, 2026) is a profound examination of our ambivalence about enjoyment, and indeed, wanting.

Comments or feedback? Send us a text! Dr. George James joins the podcast to discuss his new book I Give Myself Permission: Take Risks. Be Imperfect. Live Boldly and the psychological barriers that keep people stuck even when they have insight into their patterns, trauma, and history. The conversation explores the idea that lasting change is not simply about awareness, but about developing an internal sense of authorization to live differently.Drs. Kelly and James discuss how personal narratives become deeply embedded over time through family systems, attachment experiences, perfectionism, chronic stress, and systemic injustice — and why many people intellectually understand themselves while still feeling emotionally trapped in old roles and identities. The discussion examines how these narratives shape what people believe they are “allowed” to pursue in relationships, work, leadership, and identity development.The episode explores the overlap between narrative therapy, CBT, family systems, and culturally informed approaches to treatment, including how therapists can help clients identify distorted narratives while still validating very real structural barriers and trauma histories. Dr. James also discusses racial trauma, injustice stress, and the importance of balancing empowerment with realism in clinical work.Other themes include:The psychology of perfectionism and self-worthAttachment trauma and high achievementLeadership burnout and “sacrifice syndrome”Mid-life identity shifts and reinventionBehavioral activation, risk-taking, and fear responsesWhy insight alone is often insufficient for changeThe role of self-compassion in identity transformationHow therapists can integrate “permission language” into treatmentDr. George James, PsyD, LMFT, is a licensed marriage and family therapist, executive coach, and internationally recognized speaker with more than two decades of clinical experience. He is the founder of George Talks and specializes in narrative transformation, leadership development, racial trauma, and family systems work.His book, I Give Myself Permission: Take Risks. Be Imperfect. Live Boldly (New Harbinger Publications, 2026), examines how inherited narratives, chronic stress, perfectionism, and systemic pressures shape identity — and how reclaiming permission can create space for courage, healing, and meaningful change.

American psychiatry has built a sociological armor around itself that protects it from reform. The armor has two parts. Reverence and complexity. Together they form the most effective institutional defense system in American professional life. And the apparatus, in 2026, has evolved its most refined defensive move yet, the DSM-6 roadmap, which absorbs the entire body of structural critique against the field by publishing thoughtful documents acknowledging the critique is correct, while channeling an entire generation of reform energy into bureaucratic processes that will conclude, eventually, with the publication of a new manual that incorporates the language of the critique without changing what the manual does. Why the apparatus persists despite forty years of evidence it is failing. How residency capture, modality capture, and credentialing capture work together to produce a workforce whose tolerance for the mystery of the work has been systematically lowered. What would have to change. And why none of the obvious answers are actually answers. This episode covers: Of Two Minds. Tanya Luhrmann's anthropology of American psychiatric residency. How young doctors who enter training wanting to think across biological and psychological registers get formed, by the reward structure of training itself, into single-register practitioners. Why this is happening right now to the residents who started in 2025, and why the AI replacement is going to be welcomed by the field that has been preparing for it for a generation. How Aaron Beck got eaten. The careful, curious clinician who let his data change his mind. The three properties of cognitive therapy that made it perfectly compatible with the emerging managed care apparatus. Why Beck himself was not the version of Beck that got reproduced in the training programs. The selection pressure that captures every modality with the same properties, regardless of the founder's intent. The ABA parallel. Ivar Lovaas, the 1987 study, the autism insurance mandates, the BACB explosion. Why Applied Behavior Analysis became mandatory standard of care despite extensive evidence of harm from the autistic community. Henny Kupferstein on PTSD outcomes. The Autistic Self Advocacy Network. Private equity acquisition of ABA chains and what the moral crumple zone looks like at scale. Measurement as the real religion. The PHQ-9 and GAD-7 as Pfizer-funded screening instruments that became, by capture and convenience, the definitions of depression and anxiety in American clinical practice. Campbell's Law. Goodhart's Law. Theodore Porter on quantification as defense against weak internal authority. The IAPT case study from England, Layard's economic argument, David Clark's CBT rollout, Michael Scott's outcome research, Farhad Dalal's cognitive-behavioral tsunami. Why the entire international model of measurement-based care produces excellent statistics and very little durable change. The critics the apparatus could not absorb. Robert Whitaker on long-term outcomes and Anatomy of an Epidemic. Joanna Moncrieff and the 2022 serotonin meta-analysis that should have ended the chemical imbalance theory and didn't. Lisa Cosgrove on DSM-5-TR financial conflicts of interest. Why each of them produced exactly the kind of evidence that should have triggered structural reform, and why the apparatus dismissed each of them through credentialing arguments that were really about boundary policing. The DSM-6 trap. The closure-of-the-trap argument. Why the DSM-6 roadmap, which concedes the entire structural critique, is the apparatus's most sophisticated defensive move yet. Why being invited to participate in the DSM-6 working groups is the mechanism by which the next decade of reform energy gets neutralized. Why the manual is downstream of the apparatus and reforming the manual cannot reform the apparatus. Enshittification of care. Cory Doctorow's framework applied to American mental health. The four constraints that should have prevented it. How each was eliminated. Madeleine Clare Elish on moral crumple zones. Why clinicians absorb the moral and financial cost of an apparatus they did not design. The diploma mill. The accreditation conflict of interest. Why MSW programs, counseling programs, and PsyD programs have doubled their output without any accountability for what they produce. The accountability inversion. The structural fix. Why schools and boards should be liable for the clinicians they produce. Why the field needs both rigorous selection and rigorous accountability, and how the current system has neither. What would change if the field stopped being a diploma mill. Why this is not a return to Freud's priest class. Disagreement was the wisdom. Why the productive conflict between schools of thought was where psychology was actually thinking, and why the DSM-III atheoretical move killed the conversation that produced wisdom. Neither side wins. Why the cold machine and the warm ghost both need each other. Why the answer is not to defeat the apparatus but to stop mistaking it for the work. The coda. The Machines Will Start to Dream. The actual ending of the series. Why you do not need a conspiracy theory for any of this. The cold machines are nothing, the warm ghost is everything. The microcosm is the macrocosm because the systems are human. The AI threat as reality splitting, where the simulated layer becomes thick enough that the substrate underneath stops being accessible. Freud's permanent problem. Bureaucracy as the most successful avoidance technology humans have ever invented. The disbelief at the root. The question of whether you are more scared of yourself than of not seeing life clearly. The wager that even if humans always refuse, professional psychology should stop being the most refined refusal in the culture.

We've all said it. "I'll deal with it later." And somehow, later never comes. The thing just sits there — not in your calendar, but in your head. It pings you in the shower. It shows up right before you fall asleep. That's an energy leak.This week, Ari Tuckman returns for his sixth appearance to unpack what's actually happening when we tell ourselves "later." What is the ADHD brain doing in that moment? Are we making a real decision, or just kicking the can? And how do we tell the difference?We dig into:The two flavors of procrastination — not feeling the future vs. avoiding the discomfortWhy "later" needs a "when," and what specificity actually changesThe difference between a task that needs doing and a decision that needs makingHow to close an open loop that's been open way too longGoing toward positives vs. avoiding negatives, and why one of those is more sustainableTime estimation, and why some things aren't knowable until you startAri's new book, the ADHD Productivity ManualGuest SpotlightAri Tuckman, PsyD is a psychologist, author, and international presenter specializing in ADHD.

Parenting often feels like a high-stakes guessing game played in the middle of a meltdown or a deafening teenage silence.Clinical psychologist and bestselling author Lindsay C. Gibson returns to Psychologist Off the Clock to discuss her new book, "How to Raise an Emotionally Mature Child," and the core mindsets that build emotional maturity across development. You'll hear how emotionally immature parenting shows up, why self-reflection protects against repeating harmful patterns, how mistakes and repair strengthen trust, and what it looks like to treat kids as fully human with rich inner worlds, even when they don't say much or you don't understand them. Listen for a relational, autonomy-supportive approach that can improve parenting and adult relationships alike. Listen and Learn:How the toddler-like self-centeredness of emotionally immature parents forces their adult children to constantly manage everyone else's happiness at the absolute cost of their own identity and peaceWhy breaking the cycle of childhood trauma doesn't require being a perfect parent, but rather practicing self-awareness and honoring your child's deeply sensitiveWhy parenting is a relational enterprise rather than a production line, where meaningful connection isn't measured by long-winded conversations, but by showing genuine curiosity and active engagement Shifting from "carpentry-style" parenting that forces a narrow path to "gardening-style" parenting that nourishes the child's true, unique self Why true parenting connection doesn't require you to perfectly understand your child at all times, but rather to create a safe, curious environment where they feel inherently understandable Resources:How to Raise an Emotionally Mature Child by Lindsay Gibson https://bookshop.org/a/30734/9780593735367 Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Children by Lindsay Gibson https://bookshop.org/a/30734/9781626251700Lidnsey's Website: https://www.lindsaycgibson.com/How to Avoid Estrangement (a Q&A with Lindsay for Yael's newsletter)Stories that Connect (about sharing books, Yael's newsletter post inspired by Lindsay Gibson)Video from Ed Tronick's research on the “still face experiment”Range by David Epstein https://bookshop.org/a/30734/9780735214507 About Lindsay GibsonLindsay Gibson, PsyD, is a clinical psychologist specializing in emotional maturity and its ripple effects across the lifespan.

Learn more about everything at our home page www.diabetes-connections.com  Episode transcript: XX Dexcom announces some features of it's next generation CGM – the G8. We've been talking about this with CEO Jake Leach for a while now – it will be a 50% smaller with what they're calling advanced sensing capabilities. According to Leach, G8 will adapt to the physiologic variability of each user. It has additional technology built in, based on a new silicon chip design and algorithm. 15 day wear is now the baseline for all Dexcom sensors moving forward. At launch the G8 will only measure glucose but the plan is for a multi-analyte version to follow. That would measure ketones and potassium. Ketones we know – but potassium is very important for people with kidney and possible for people taking some diabetes meds. It's an interesting space to watch.. btw, analyte is just a medical word for the specific thing you're measuring – the target of the test you're running. we're going to hear that word a lot I think..   Looks like an FDA submission for the G8 next year.. with an outside the US launch the following year. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/dexcom-unveils-next-gen-g8-cgm/ XX Glucotrack has submitted its implantable continuous blood glucose monitor (CBGM) for FDA IDE, that's investigational device exemption and would enable the company to initiate a U.S. clinical study for the fully implantable technology. Rutherford, New Jersey-based Glucotrack's device features no on-body external component. The company aims to offer it for three years of continuous, accurate blood glucose monitoring for a more convenient, less intrusive solution. Unlike traditional CGMs that measure glucose in interstitial fluid, the CBGM measures glucose levels directly from the blood. The implant goes five centimeters within the subclavian vein. Glucotrack's active implantable device has a small battery and some electronics that go just under the skin in the pectoral region. The location of the implant is not in a major vessel, but the implant can measure real-time glucose levels as pulsatile blood flows over the tip of the sensor. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/glucotrack-submits-long-term-implantable-cbgm-fda-ide/ XX PharmaSens today announced the publication of data from the first clinical study evaluating its all-in-one insulin patch pump offering. The all-in-one pump pairs the Niaa Essential insulin patch pump with the SynerG continuous glucose monitor (CGM) sensor developed by Pacific Diabetes Technologies. However, this system would be one device that features both the pump and CGM technology.   PharmaSens and SiBionics also have a collaboration aimed at developing the all-in-one solution. They are jointly developing the next-generation Niia insulin patch pump with a SiBionics CGM. PharmaSens expects a second feasibility study in the second quarter to evaluate the next-generation pump with SiBionics' CGM.   PharmaSens says the clinical feasibility study of Niia demonstrated for the first time ever that the combined offering is, in fact, feasible. It believes its device addresses the need for alternatives to multi-device diabetes management. systems.   Aggregated MARD for the investigational device came in at 11.6%. A MARD target of less than 10% is considered ideal for CGM devices, but PharmaSens said that, in the context of the early feasibility study, the results were encouraging and provide evidence supporting the development of an all-in-one system. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/pharmasens-efs-insulin-patch-pump-cgm/ XX   XX ViCentra launches the newest version of the Kaleido pump system in Europe. This is that small colorful pump, with Diabeloops algorithm and the Dexcom G7. It'll be in Germany and the Netherlands later this summer. https://hellokaleido.com/vicentra-announces-commercial-launch-of-new-smartphone-controlled-kaleido-automated-insulin-delivery-patch-pump-system/--   XX Diabeloop just got CE Mark approval for DBLG2 integrations – it's latest AID platform the company has kicked off the gradual European launch of the technology. It currently offers DBLG2 as a smartphone application on Android, with iOS integration coming soon. As you just heard, it's integrated with kaleido and the company says it plans to make additional configuration for DBLG2 with alternative pumps "available soon." Running on a user's smartphone, DBLG2 works as a self-learning algorithm. It continuously analyzes glucose data, calculates insulin needs in real time and automatically adjusts delivery. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/diabeloop-fda-next-gen-algorithm-g7/   XX Among adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D), the initiation of GLP-1-based therapy was associated with a lower risk for all-cause death, several cardiovascular outcomes, all-cause hospitalisations, and hypoglycaemia, without a higher risk for diabetic ketoacidosis.   METHODOLOGY: Researchers in Greece conducted a retrospective cohort study utilising real-world data from a global health research network to evaluate the association between GLP-1-based therapy and cardiovascular and renal outcomes in adults with T1D. A total of 4088 patients receiving GLP-1-based therapies (median age, 43 years; 34.3% men) were propensity score matched with an equal number of patients not receiving the treatment. The risk for hypoglycaemia was lower with GLP-1-based therapy (hazard ratio, 0.72; P = .021); however, the risk for diabetic ketoacidosis did not differ significantly between the two groups. https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/glp-1-drugs-tied-cardiovascular-benefits-t1d-2026a1000fbx   XX Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY) today announced detailed results from two late-phase trials showing that people with obesity maintained their weight loss long term with either Foundayo or lower-dose Zepbound after switching from higher doses of injectable incretin therapy. The findings from SURMOUNT-MAINTAIN and ATTAIN-MAINTAIN, were presented at the 33rd European Congress on Obesity (ECO) and published in The Lancet and Nature Medicine, respectively.   "Weight regain remains one of the biggest challenges in obesity care, and is often the result of treatment interruptions that cause biology to work against patients, undoing the progress they've made," said Louis J. Aronne, M.D., FACP, DABOM, founder and Chair Emeritus of the American Board of Obesity Medicine, former president of The Obesity Society, Fellow of the American College of Physicians, world-renowned obesity specialist and Lilly consultant. "These medicines can be used for long-term maintenance today, and results from SURMOUNT-MAINTAIN and ATTAIN-MAINTAIN provide additional evidence of their potential when switching from higher doses of injectable incretin therapy." https://investor.lilly.com/news-releases/news-release-details/lillys-foundayo-and-lower-dose-zepbound-helped-people-maintain XX Scientists in Sweden have developed a more reliable way to create insulin-producing cells from human stem cells. These lab-grown cells not only respond strongly to glucose but were also able to restore blood sugar control when transplanted into diabetic mice. When transplanted into diabetic mice, the cells gradually restored the animals' ability to regulate blood sugar. Long way to go, as we say with most of these mice studies. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/05/260505234620.htm XX Interesting look at how the body controls sugar storage – apparently this finding challenges long-standing biology concepts and could open new directions for disease treatment. Published in Nature, the study describes a potential method for directly reducing glycogen, the stored form of sugar in the body. These scientists discovered that glycogen can be directly regulated by ubiquitin, a protein best known for marking damaged proteins for recycling or removal. The study is the first to show that ubiquitin can regulate glycogen in humans, overturning more than 50 years of scientific understanding. Excess glycogen is also associated with more common health problems, including diabetes, obesity, liver disease, and heart disease.       https://scitechdaily.com/scientists-just-rewrote-biology-hidden-mechanism-could-transform-diabetes-treatment/ XX A new Oklahoma law will give parents the option to have their children screened for Type 1 Diabetes.   The measure passed with overwhelming bipartisan support in the Legislature and takes effect Nov 1. Oklahoma consistently ranks among the states with the highest rates of diabetes and diabetes-related deaths. The law gives parents access to antibody testing that can detect risk years before symptoms develop, helping families take preventive action and avoid emergency room visits. https://journalrecord.com/2026/05/11/oklahoma-law-expands-access-type-1-diabetes-screening/ XX More to come including a new study trying to figure out why some people are more likely to develop diabetes, a look at cannabis and preventing metabolic disorders, and XX   A National Institutes of Health (NIH)-funded study has identified key differences in human pancreatic islet cells that may help explain why some people are more likely to develop diabetes. Researchers found that the mix of hormone-producing cells in the pancreas varies widely from person to person, and that variation plays a central role in how the body regulates blood sugar. The study involved a deep dive into islet cell function that is linked to donor traits associated with observable characteristics, or phenotype, such as sex, race and ethnicity, as well as genetic information, or genotype, including predicted ancestry and genetic risk for both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. The findings highlight that islet cell composition, rather than the physical size and shape of islets, is a key factor in regulating hormone release. The team found that the makeup of pancreatic islets plays a major role in how effectively they release insulin and glucagon — key hormones that regulate blood glucose. Islets with a higher proportion of insulin-producing beta cells showed stronger insulin secretion in response to various stimuli, while higher levels of alpha and delta cells were generally linked to reduced insulin output. In addition, the researchers found that islet hormone secretion is affected by donor traits, such as sex, race and ethnicity and their genetic makeup, including ancestry predicted from genetic testing and genetic risk for type 2 diabetes. Combined, the findings of the study have significant implications for understanding the factors that may predispose people to diabetes. "This study is the tip of the iceberg," said Dr. Evans-Molina. "We hope this dataset becomes useful to the entire diabetes research community and that researchers use it to answer questions about the genotype-phenotype correlation within these data."   https://www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/nih-funded-study-maps-human-pancreatic-islet-cells-offering-new-clues-diabetes-risk XX XX XX Research published recently in JAMA Network Open offers illuminating evidence suggesting there is a positive association between GLP-1 agonists—drugs commonly used to treat obesity and diabetes—and better outcomes among breast cancer patients.   "This study suggests that GLP-1 drugs may offer protective benefits potentially improving survival and recurrence risk in some female patients with breast cancer – whether this is related to weight control, improve cardiovascular health or other mechanisms remains to be studied," said study senior author Bernard F. Fuemmeler, Ph.D., MPH, associate director for population sciences and the Gordon D. Ginder, M.D., Chair in Cancer Research at VCU Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center.   Breast cancer patients who are also obese or have type 2 diabetes experience more aggressive cancer growth and worse outcomes. Prior studies have shown that weight loss treatment and surgery following a breast cancer diagnosis are associated with improved heart health and increased survival.   What are GLP-1 drugs? Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs). Approved to treat type 2 diabetes in 2005 and weight management in 2021. Impacts on breast cancer survival and recurrence are still unclear. Since 2020, the use of these drugs has increased dramatically, where approximately 12% of Americans have used GLP-1s for weight loss, according to a RAND report.   The research findings Through a retrospective cohort study examining the electronic health records of more than 840,000 breast cancer patients who were diagnosed between 2006 and 2023, the results suggest there is a potential link between GLP-1 RAs and improved outcomes among breast cancer patients who are also obese or have type 2 diabetes.   GLP-1 RA use was associated with an overall lower risk of death from any cause over a 10-year follow-up period among breast cancer patients. Additionally, breast cancer survivors who used GLP1-RAs for diabetes or obesity had a significantly lower risk of their cancer returning over 10 years following their initial treatment.   "Our findings align with emerging preclinical research and contribute to a growing body of literature related to GLP-1 RA use in oncology settings," said study lead author Kristina L. Tatum, PsyD, MS, of the VCU School of Public Health.   What's next? Further studies are needed to understand the biological mechanisms, if any, between GLP-1 RAs and breast cancer outcomes. The research team intends to further evaluate these correlations through randomized clinical trials.   "Our study underscores the potential of GLP-1 RAs as an adjunct strategy for improving cancer-related outcomes among patients with breast cancer, although clinical trials are needed to inform effective therapeutic approaches and clinical decision making," Fuemmeler said. https://www.oncology-central.com/could-glp-1-receptor-agonists-improve-outcomes-for-breast-cancer-patients-with-obesity-or-with-type-2-diabetes/ XX Researchers at UC Riverside gave cannabis to obese mice and found that not only did the rodents lose weight, but when given a concentrated cannabis oil, the mice also saw striking benefits in their metabolic function. DiPatrizio said his team studied the issue to better understand why cannabis users show significant reductions in weight and risk for diabetes compared with nonusers. "We would think that chronic cannabis users would be eating more and weigh more, but it's just the opposite," DiPatrizio said. Scientists are increasingly examining the possibility that cannabis compounds could fight obesity or metabolic disorders like diabetes. Cannabinoids interact with the body's endocannabinoid system, which partially controls nearly every aspect of our physiology, including metabolism and appetite. That creates the possibility that targeting this widespread system could unlock new therapies for these conditions. https://www.sfgate.com/cannabis/article/cannabis-weight-loss-california-study-22255328.php XX A new campaign launched by diaTribe and Genentech aims to empower and educate people about diabetes-related eye disease. Here's what you can do today to protect your eye health. To help address these barriers, diaTribe and Genentech partnered to launch All Eyes on DME, a new campaign that aims to spread awareness and educate people at-risk for or living with diabetes-related eye conditions like DME. Also partnering in the campaign is actor and comedian Damon Wayans, who wanted to share his journey (and, of course, a joke or two) with type 2 diabetes to open up the conversation about what is often a stigmatized or less talked about topic: eye health and diabetes.   One of these important conversations happened recently at the All Eyes on DME launch in New York City, where Wayans joined a panel of experts, advocates, and people living with DME to talk about diabetes-related eye disease and how to help prevent it. https://www.alleyesondme.com/dme-in-the-spotlight.html https://diatribe.org/diabetes-complications/all-eyes-dme-new-campaign-spotlights-eye-health-and-diabetes

En el espacio de la salud mental y el cuidado del alma, a menudo confundimos dos estados emocionales que, aunque caminan cerca, tienen raíces y destinos completamente distintos: la soledad y la depresión. Comprender su diferencia es vital para sanar.La soledad es, principalmente, una experiencia relacional; un estado de desconexión. No siempre significa estar solo físicamente. Puedes estar en medio de una multitud y experimentar el peso de sentir: "no me ven", "no me entienden" o "no tengo una conexión emocional real". La soledad puede ser temporal, situacional por una pérdida, o incluso elegida. Aunque duele profundamente, en la soledad el alma todavía conserva su capacidad de deseo, de búsqueda y mantiene viva la esperanza de conectar con otros. Su grito interno es: "necesito conectar".La depresión, por el contrario, es una condición mucho más profunda del sistema emocional. No es simple tristeza ni aislamiento voluntario. Es un estado clínico y espiritual donde se afectan el ánimo, la energía, el interés por la vida, la motivación y la percepción del valor personal. A diferencia de la soledad, en la depresión no solo hay una desconexión del entorno, sino una ruptura interna. Se pierde el deseo de vivir, de sentir y de vincularse. Su eco no es la falta de otros, sino la afirmación: "he perdido el sentido de mí mismo".La diferencia psicológica clave es contundente: la soledad es una puerta de entrada emocional; la depresión es cuando esa puerta se cierra desde adentro.Hay personas que están rodeadas de gente y viven en una profunda soledad, buscando una mirada que las valide. Y hay personas que están acompañadas, pero internamente habitan en el subsuelo de la depresión. Al final, la diferencia entre ambas realidades no la determina la presencia o ausencia de los demás, sino la capacidad del alma de sentirse viva, valiosa y verdaderamente conectada con su propio ser y con Dios.Conferencias/Conserjería Virtual DisponibleCitas/ Invitaciones (787) 967-3597.Dr. Peter Burgos Vega Psy.D, MFT, LPPBilingual Family & Couple TherapyLicensed Psychoterapist, Marriage & Family Therapy: Crisis de Comunicación, Infidelidad, Crisis de Divorcio, Divorcio Emocional.Visite "Almas en Espejo": almasenespejo.comPágina de Facebook: drpeterburgosvegaPagina Web: https://peterburgos.wixsite.com/websiteCanal de YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/PeterBurgosVegaChannelEmail: peterburgos@yahoo.com

Este relato confronta la realidad de que podemos ser espirituales, tener dones, predicar y ministrar, pero aún estar ausentes de caridad, misericordia y compasión. La caridad no es un accesorio del carácter cristiano, es la inclinación primaria del Espíritu en nosotros. Mientras los dones del Espíritu son otorgados por gracia para edificar a otros, el fruto del Espíritu es una obra interna que transforma nuestro carácter y suple lo que nos falta como personas. Los dones pueden operar sin una transformación profunda, pero el fruto solo se desarrolla cuando hay rendición genuina del yo a Dios. La rendición es el punto de inflexión: es entregar la voluntad, las reacciones, las heridas y el ego al gobierno del Espíritu Santo. 'El don es impartición; el fruto es transformación. El don te hace funcional en lo público; el fruto te hace semejante a Cristo en lo privado. Sin rendición no hay fruto, y sin fruto no hay verdadera semejanza a Cristo. Por eso, la exhortación no es solo a buscar dones, sino a rendirse para que la caridad, la templanza, la misericordia y la benevolencia se formen como evidencia viva del Espíritu en nosotros.

La verdadera batalla del ser humano no se libra en escenarios visibles, sino en los pasillos silenciosos de la mente. La Guerra Invisible aborda la sanidad mental demostrando que la salud emocional y la madurez espiritual dependen de derribar estructuras internas de pensamiento que causan daño, cautiverio y dolor.Para comprender este conflicto, la Escritura nos provee de un mapa estratégico infalible. Segunda a los Corintios 10:4–5 afirma que las armas de nuestra milicia son poderosas en Dios para la destrucción de fortalezas, derribando argumentos y llevando cautivo todo pensamiento a la obediencia a Cristo. Asimismo, Efesios 6:16 nos insta a tomar el escudo de la fe para apagar los dardos de fuego del maligno.Esta guerra espiritual opera en tres niveles progresivos:El primer nivel son los Dardos de Fuego. Son ataques externos y repentinos en forma de pensamientos intrusivos, tentaciones o miedos. No son pecado en sí mismos y se apagan con fe inmediata. El error es dialogar con ellos. Ejemplos de esto vemos cuando Satanás puso en el corazón de Judas entregar a Jesús, o cuando incitó a David a realizar un censo por orgullo.El segundo nivel son los Argumentos y la Altivez. Ocurre cuando el dardo no se apaga y el pensamiento es aceptado y justificado. Se convierte en un razonamiento interno que compite con Dios, como creer que "solo valgo si produzco". Así les pasó a los espías en Canaán, que se vieron como langostas por temor, o a Tomás, que se encerró en su incredulidad. Aquí la lucha ya no es contra un ataque, sino contra una creencia.El tercer nivel son las Fortalezas Mentales. Son estructuras arraigadas que gobiernan las emociones y la conducta. Una fortaleza es una mentira repetida hasta sentirse verdad. Su proceso es claro: dardo no confrontado se vuelve argumento aceptado, y este, una fortaleza establecida. Lo vemos en Nabucodonosor, cegado por su propia soberbia en Babilonia.La solución bíblica no es la pasividad. Romanos 12:2 nos manda a transformarnos mediante la renovación de nuestro entendimiento. La libertad comienza al identificar la mentira, evaluarla con la Palabra y sustituirla por la verdad.Recuerda siempre: no todo pensamiento que cruza tu mente es tuyo, no todo es verdad y no todo merece hospedaje. Los dardos atacan, los argumentos persuaden y las fortalezas encarcelan, pero la verdad de Cristo nos hace completamente libres.Conferencias/Conserjería Virtual DisponibleCitas/ Invitaciones (787) 967-3597.Dr. Peter Burgos Vega Psy.D, MFT, LPPBilingual Family & Couple TherapyLicensed Psychoterapist, Marriage & Family Therapy: Crisis de Comunicación, Infidelidad, Crisis de Divorcio, Divorcio Emocional.Visite "Almas en Espejo": almasenespejo.comPágina de Facebook: drpeterburgosvegaPagina Web: https://peterburgos.wixsite.com/websiteCanal de YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/PeterBurgosVegaChannelEmail: peterburgos@yahoo.com

Este video aborda el tema del narcisismo dentro de la iglesia y cómo puede afectar profundamente la vida espiritual, el liderazgo y la salud de la comunidad cristianaPuntos clave tratados incluyen: • Aumento del Narcisismo en la Iglesia: El Dr. Burgos observa un incremento de comportamientos narcisistas dentro de la iglesia, especialmente en una cultura que busca atención y estatus. Advierte que el entorno eclesial puede convertirse en una plataforma de autopromoción, donde la personalidad es adorada más que Cristo. • Cómo discernir personalidades narcisistas: La discusión destaca cómo los narcisistas explotan la vulnerabilidad de quienes tienen “límites débiles” en algunas congregaciones, obteniendo acceso y privilegios sin demostrar verdadero carácter. Se enfatiza la importancia del discipulado para evaluar el carácter observando cómo las personas manejan la responsabilidad, el conflicto y la corrección. Los narcisistas tienden a justificar sus acciones, evitar la responsabilidad y atribuir la culpa a otros. • Peligros de los líderes narcisistas: Cuando los individuos narcisistas alcanzan posiciones de influencia en la iglesia, pueden fomentar la dependencia espiritual en ellos mismos en lugar de en Dios). Son resistentes a la disciplina y a menudo provocan división dentro de las congregaciones. • Narcisismo vs. Autoridad espiritual saludable (18:32): El video distingue entre rasgos narcisistas (que pueden corregirse) y una personalidad narcisista (incorrigible en su núcleo). Una personalidad narcisista tiene dificultades para mantener relaciones funcionales y muestra falta de conexión debido a experiencias de rechazo en la infancia. • Sanación para el narcisista (43:48): Aunque se advierte contra la autodiagnosis, el Dr. Burgos explica que la verdadera sanación de un narcisista implica humillar su ego.Conferencias/Conserjería Virtual DisponibleCitas/ Invitaciones (787) 967-3597.Dr. Peter Burgos Vega Psy.D, MFT, LPPBilingual Family & Couple TherapyLicensed Psychoterapist, Marriage & Family Therapy: Crisis de Comunicación, Infidelidad, Crisis de Divorcio, Divorcio Emocional.Visite "Almas en Espejo": almasenespejo.comPágina de Facebook: drpeterburgosvegaPagina Web: https://peterburgos.wixsite.com/websiteCanal de YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/PeterBurgosVegaChannelEmail: peterburgos@yahoo.com

Cristo estableció una cátedra única: no fundada en estructuras humanas, sino en la autoridad del Reino de Dios.Sus enseñanzas en parábolas no fueron simples ilustraciones, sino un método deliberado de revelación y juicio. A través de ellas,Cristo comunicaba verdades espirituales profundas de forma accesible, pero a la vez velada para aquellos cuyo corazón no estaba dispuesto a recibir. Las parábolas cumplían un doble propósito: revelar y ocultar. Como Él mismo explicó, a unos les era dado conocer los misterios del Reino, mientras que a otros, viendo no veían y oyendo no entendían (Mateo 13). Esto no era arbitrariedad, sino una respuesta a la disposición del corazón.La parábola, entonces, se convierte en un filtro espiritual: separa al que busca de aquel que resiste la verdad. En esta cátedra, Cristo no solo enseñaba doctrina; confrontaba la condición humana.Cada relato el sembrador, el buen samaritano, el hijo pródigo no apunta primero a personajes externos, sino al oyente mismo.La enseñanza exige una respuesta: arrepentimiento, fe o endurecimiento.Así, la cátedra de las parábolas no es un espacio pasivo de aprendizaje, sino un escenario de decisión espiritual.Cristo no solo hablaba para ser entendido, sino para ser obedecido. Porque en sus parábolas, la verdad no se entrega simplemente… se discierne y se responde.Conferencias/Conserjería Virtual DisponibleCitas/ Invitaciones (787) 967-3597.Dr. Peter Burgos Vega Psy.D, MFT, LPPBilingual Family & Couple TherapyLicensed Psychoterapist, Marriage & Family Therapy: Crisis de Comunicación, Infidelidad, Crisis de Divorcio, Divorcio Emocional.Visite "Almas en Espejo": almasenespejo.comPágina de Facebook: drpeterburgosvegaPagina Web: https://peterburgos.wixsite.com/websiteCanal de YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/PeterBurgosVegaChannelEmail: peterburgos@yahoo.com

Dr. Adam Dorsay's Psychologically Rich TV Picks: Bill Lawrence, Ray Donovan, and Jury DutyDr. Adam Dorsay, Silicon Valley psychologist and host of the SuperPsyched podcast, shares recent TV recommendations he finds psychologically rich. He highlights Bill Lawrence as a hero behind comfort shows like Scrubs and Ted Lasso, praises Lawrence's new series Rooster with Steve Carell, and recommends the darker, mysterious comedy Bad Monkey starring Vince Vaughn on Apple TV. He discusses Scrubs returning with recreated sets in British Columbia and renewed cast dynamics, noting its modern medical themes and its reputation for medical accuracy. He also enjoys Shrinking for its relationships despite questionable psychotherapy realism. Moving darker, he recommends Ray Donovan for its pitch-perfect portrayal of family dysfunction and standout performances by Liev Schreiber and Jon Voight, comparing its quality to The Sopranos. He closes with Jury Duty, a Truman Show-like semi-reality comedy, and invites listener feedback and subscriptions.00:00 Welcome to SuperPsyched00:27 TV Geek Picks00:51 Bill Lawrence Highlights01:33 Bad Monkey Spotlight02:13 Scrubs Returns03:35 Why Shrinking Works04:34 Going Dark Ray Donovan07:03 Wild Comedy Jury Duty08:18 Wrap Up and Subscribe

Acknowledgment, validation, and curiosity – meeting grief with these three elements is crucial in creating supportive, culturally relevant grief support environments for children and adults. Dr. Allen Lipscomb has spent his career researching, designing, and implementing anti-racist interventions that directly support not just grief from death loss, but also the grief from racialized trauma experienced by those in the Black community.   Dr. Lipscomb shares his personal experiences with grief, including the death of his grandmother when he was a child and being wrongly accused of a crime in his adolescence. He also discusses the roots of his work as a clinician, researcher, and Professor of Social Work, including the culturally specific ways he engages with clients that prioritize choice and naming racism and racialized trauma that play a role in how people grieve.   We discuss: How childhood experiences of death, racism, and wrongful accusation shaped Dr. Allen Lipscomb's understanding of grief, trauma, and identity   The impact of racialized trauma on how Black youth and men experience, express, and silence grief   Why naming experiences like racism, PTSD, and loss can be profoundly important and validating   What culturally responsive grief support looks like, including storytelling, oral histories, grief mapping, somatic awareness, and community-centered care   How grief supporters can avoid rescuer dynamics and instead create invitational, choice-centered spaces to explore grief  The importance of preparing mental health providers, schools, and communities to offer anti-racist, culturally relevant grief support for Black youth and families  Allen E. Lipscomb, PsyD, LCSW, Professor of Social Work, Associate Chair, Director of MSW Online Program; and Director of Minority Male Mentoring (M3) and Student Success Allies (SSA) program at California State University Northridge in the Department of Social Work. Dr. Lipscomb is a clinical psychologist and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of California. Dr. Lipscomb specializes in providing anti-oppressive and inclusive mental health services to individuals, children, youth, couples, and families of color. His areas of research are centered on the psychiatric epidemiology among racialized and marginalized individuals who have experienced trauma (i.e., complex trauma, traumatic-grief, and race-based trauma). Dr. Lipscomb has conducted numerous qualitative research studies on racialized Black identified men across the Black/African Diaspora exploring their grief, loss, and complex-trauma experiences. His pedagogy is centered on cultural anti-oppressive and clinically responsive inclusive practices with communities of color. Dr. Lipscomb maintains a private practice; conducts local, national, and international trainings; is a consultant/coach, and keynote speaker. Dr. Lipscomb has numerous peer reviewed journal articles that centers Black male grief experiences and has a published five books all centered around Black men and boys grief, trauma, and healing journeys.  Resources mentioned in our conversation: Reframing Grief for Black Students: A Qualitative Analysis of Grief Resilient Affirming Care through Empowerment (G.R.A.C.E) Training  My Grandmother's Hands by Resmaa Menakem  Connect with Dr. Lipscomb Website  IG @dralipscomb 

An essential guide to healing from oppression-based trauma, for everyone left outside of mainstream conversations There are many books on trauma healing that can change people's lives. Yet when queer and trans people, people of color, and all of us living at the margins look for books that reflect our own experiences and that specifically name the oppression we experience as trauma, we're left empty-handed. There's little that speaks to the specific traumas we experience: homophobia, transphobia, institutional injustices, isolation, medical trauma, and discrimination at every turn.

An essential guide to healing from oppression-based trauma, for everyone left outside of mainstream conversations There are many books on trauma healing that can change people's lives. Yet when queer and trans people, people of color, and all of us living at the margins look for books that reflect our own experiences and that specifically name the oppression we experience as trauma, we're left empty-handed. There's little that speaks to the specific traumas we experience: homophobia, transphobia, institutional injustices, isolation, medical trauma, and discrimination at every turn.

Erich Fromm, the prominent twentieth-century public intellectual and psychoanalyst, was recognized for his courageous stand against fascism, racism, and human destructiveness. Until now, however, little has been known about the extent to which Fromm's personal experience of Nazi Germany and the Holocaust shaped his outlook and work.In Edge of Catastrophe: Erich Fromm, Fascism and the Holocaust (Oxford 2024), Roger Frie introduces for the first time the unpublished Holocaust correspondence in Fromm's family. The letters provide insight into Fromm's life as a German-Jewish refugee and help us to understand the effect of Nazi Germany's racial terror on Fromm and his German-Jewish family. In the aftermath of the genocide, Fromm returned again and again to the themes of responsibility, social justice, and human solidarity, yet without revealing his own experience. As this book powerfully shows, Fromm's social, political, and psychological writings take on new meaning in light of the traumas and tragedies that he and his family experienced.The image of Fromm that emerges from this book enriches our understanding of what it means to be both a social critic and practicing psychologist. In light of the racial hatred and antisemitism we see today, Frie demonstrates that a politics of engagement and a psychology of well-being go hand in hand. Frie suggests that there is much to be learned from the urgency in Fromm's writings as we seek to respond to the social crises and the renewed threat of fascism in our present age. Roger Frie is Professor of Psychoanalysis and Education at the University of Vienna in Austria, Affiliate Professor of Psychiatry at the University of British Columbia, and Professor Emeritus at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, Canada. He is also Faculty and Supervisor at the William Alanson White Institute of Psychiatry, Psychoanalysis and Psychology, and the NYU Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis, and associate member of the Columbia University Seminar on Cultural Memory in New York. He is a clinical psychologist and psychoanalyst in private practice as well as a trained historian and social philosopher and brings both of these perspectives to bear in his publications. He is author most recently Wounds of Silence: Legacies of Genocide and Racial Violence (Oxford 2026), Edge of Catastrophe: Erich Fromm, Fascism and the Holocaust (Oxford 2024) and Not in My Family: German Memory and Responsibility after the Holocaust (Oxford 2017). His most recent edited book is Culture, Politics and Race in the Making of Interpersonal Psychoanalysis (Routledge, 2022, with Pascal Sauvayre). He is additionally co-editor of Contemporary Psychoanalysis. Your host for this episode, Ben Greenberg, PsyD is a psychoanalytic psychologist and founding director of both the Center for Dynamic Practice (CFDP) in Santa Fe, NM and Southwestern Alliance for Psychoanalytic Psychology (SWAPP).
