The HPS Podcast - Conversations from History, Philosophy and Social Studies of Science
This week, Thomas Spiteri speaks with Professor Miriam Solomon, Professor of Philosophy at Temple University and a leading voice in philosophy of science, medicine, and psychiatry.Solomon reflects on her intellectual trajectory, from her early studies in the natural sciences at Cambridge and her doctoral work at Harvard, to her later contributions in the philosophy of medicine and psychiatry. She describes how questions about knowledge-making — from consensus conferences to evidence-based medicine — led her to examine psychiatry and, most recently, the constitutive role of stigma in shaping psychiatric categories.In the conversation, Solomon argues that stigma is not only a social force attached to mental illness from the outside but also a factor that has shaped psychiatry from within. It has influenced the recognition, definition, and revision of diagnostic categories, as she illustrates through cases drawn from the history of psychiatry. She situates these examples within broader debates about the nature of psychiatric disorder, the limitations of the DSM, and possible alternative frameworks.In this episode, Solomon:Recounts her path from philosophy of science to psychiatry, shaped by formative years at Cambridge and HarvardExplains why consensus conferences and evidence-based medicine sparked her interest in psychiatry and the DSMArgues that stigma is not only a social prejudice but a constitutive force within psychiatric knowledgeExamines the role of stigma in categories like Asperger's and PTSD, and its entanglement with hermeneutical injusticeAssesses debates over defining psychiatric disorder, including the harmful dysfunction model, and emphasises the centrality of “harm” over “dysfunction”Discusses the challenges facing the DSMCalls for greater awareness of how stigma operates, both within psychiatry and in everyday experiences of mental illnessRelevant LinksMiriam Solomon's home pageOn the Concept of "Psychiatric Disorder": Incorporating Psychological InjuryMiriam Soloman PhilPapersMaking Medical Knowledge (Oxford University Press, 2015)Thanks for listening to The HPS Podcast.

Send us a textHave you ever noticed how the right song can instantly change your mood? There's real science behind that feeling. Music doesn't just entertain us—it fundamentally alters our brain chemistry and emotional state in ways that can significantly improve our mental health.When life feels overwhelming, music creates a sanctuary where we can safely process complex emotions. Research consistently shows that listening to music reduces stress hormones like cortisol while increasing feel-good neurotransmitters such as dopamine. This neurochemical shift explains why even sad songs can sometimes make us feel better—they provide a framework for experiencing difficult emotions from a safe distance.What makes music particularly powerful as a mental health tool is its versatility. Classical compositions might calm anxiety, while upbeat tracks can energize and elevate mood. Lyrics often give voice to feelings we struggle to articulate ourselves, creating those "that's exactly how I feel" moments that validate our experiences. For teenagers and young adults especially, music becomes a crucial part of identity formation and emotional development.The connection between music and memory creates another dimension of healing. Songs can transport us to specific moments in time—sometimes painful, but often precious. As we discuss in this episode, reframing our relationship with music tied to departed loved ones can transform these songs from triggers of grief into celebrations of cherished memories.Musicians themselves experience enhanced cognitive benefits, typically showing higher IQs due to the mental coordination required to play instruments. But you don't need talent to benefit from music's psychological effects—simply listening with intention is enough to alter your mental state in meaningful ways.Whether you're creating mood-specific playlists, exploring new genres, or revisiting old favorites, your soundtrack choices matter. The next time you're feeling anxious, sad, or disconnected, try reaching for your headphones—the right song might be the most effective therapy session you'll have all day.FIND ME:My Website: https://motorcityhypnotist.com/podcastMy social media links: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/motorcityhypnotist/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCjjLNcNvSYzfeX0uHqe3gATwitter: https://twitter.com/motorcityhypnoInstagram: motorcityhypnoFREE HYPNOSIS GUIDEhttps://detroithypnotist.convertri.com/podcast-free-hypnosis-guidePlease also subscribe to the show and leave a review.(Stay with me as later in the podcast, I'll be giving away a free gift to all listeners!)Change your thinking, change your life!Laugh hard, run fast, be kind.

In this thought-provoking episode of The Fitness League, Joelle, Alessandra, and Josh dive into the deep, often unspoken link between spirituality and health. They start with a vulnerable, personal conversation about their own spiritual journeys—what shaped their beliefs, how they've evolved, and why this topic matters more now than ever. Then, they shift into the science—breaking down research on how practices like mindfulness, prayer, and community-based faith impact physical and mental health outcomes. From navigating organized religion and personal convictions, to the influence of social media, modern culture, and parenthood, this episode isn't about giving answers—it's about asking better questions. It's about simplifying what spirituality can look like in real life—and why it could be the missing piece in your pursuit of health. Whether you're grounded in faith or simply curious, you'll walk away from this episode reminded of one powerful truth: real change starts with you. And when you grow, everyone around you feels it.

In the wake of World War II, the United States leveraged its hegemonic position in the international political system to gradually build a new global order centered around democracy, the expansion of free market capitalism, and the containment of communism. Named in retrospect the "liberal international order" (LIO), the system took decades to build and is still largely with us today even as the US's relative power within it has diminished. In Great Power, Great Responsibility: How the Liberal International Order Shapes US Foreign Policy (Oxford UP, 2025), Michael Poznansky explores how the LIO has influenced US foreign policy from its founding to the present. Proponents argue that its impact has been profound, producing a system that has been more rule-bound and beneficial than any previous order. Critics charge that it has failed to prevent the US itself from consistently violating rules and norms. Poznansky contends that the answer lies in between. While rule-breaking has been a constant feature of the postwar order, the nature of violations varies in surprising and poorly understood ways. America's approach to compliance with the LIO, including whether leaders feel the need to conceal rule violations at all, is a function of two primary factors: the intensity of competition over international order, and the burden of complying with the liberal order's core tenets in a given case. Drawing on nine case studies, including the Korean War and Iraq War, Great Power, Great Responsibility sheds important light on the future of US foreign policy in an era where American unipolarity has ended and great power rivalry has returned. Our guest is Michael Poznansky, an Associate Professor in the Strategic and Operational Research Department and a core faculty member in the Cyber & Innovation Policy Institute at the U.S. Naval War College.

In this episode, Bart sits down with Janet Drysdale, Interim Chief Commercial Officer at CN, to explore her career journey through progressively senior roles and how communication has been the key differentiator at every level. Janet reflects on the different skills required at each step of a career, and how even today, in a new senior role, it's critical that she continues to hone her ability to influence, listen, and inspire. She shares how the demands of communication shift as your career grows. Early in your career, you need the courage to share your opinion, as you advance, you need to learn to say “no” quickly and decisively. At more senior levels, it becomes essential to translate complexity into clarity, become an exceptional listener, and empower others to speak up and share their voice. Whether you're just starting out or leading at the highest level, this conversation weaves together Janet's insights and experiences to reveal the communication skills that matter most and how they can fuel your success.

America's approach to compliance with the LIO, including whether leaders feel the need to conceal rule violations at all, is a function of two primary factors: the intensity of competition over international order, and the burden of complying with the liberal order's core tenets in a given case. Drawing on nine case studies, including the Korean War and Iraq War, Great Power, Great Responsibility sheds important light on the future of US foreign policy in an era where American unipolarity has ended and great power rivalry has returned.

In the wake of World War II, the United States leveraged its hegemonic position in the international political system to gradually build a new global order centered around democracy, the expansion of free market capitalism, and the containment of communism. Named in retrospect the "liberal international order" (LIO), the system took decades to build and is still largely with us today even as the US's relative power within it has diminished. In Great Power, Great Responsibility: How the Liberal International Order Shapes US Foreign Policy (Oxford UP, 2025), Michael Poznansky explores how the LIO has influenced US foreign policy from its founding to the present. Proponents argue that its impact has been profound, producing a system that has been more rule-bound and beneficial than any previous order.

Send us a textMusic has a remarkable ability to transport us through time, evoke powerful emotions, and even heal our psychological wounds. This fascinating connection between melodies and mental wellbeing takes center stage as we explore how the songs that soundtrack our lives can profoundly impact our emotional health.The power of musical association reveals itself through Casey Clark's touching story. After losing her grandfather, she found solace in Michael Bublé's album—the last gift she gave him before his passing. Now, when grief or PTSD symptoms overwhelm her, those familiar melodies provide grounding when traditional coping techniques fall short. This personal connection exemplifies how music becomes intertwined with our most significant memories and relationships.Science strongly supports what many of us intuitively understand about music's therapeutic qualities. Research demonstrates that regular listening to classical music significantly reduces anxiety levels, while other studies show music helps people recover faster from stressful experiences. The physiological benefits are measurable—lower stress hormones, reduced blood pressure, and decreased heart rate. Music offers both an emotional escape and a way to process complex feelings, particularly when we're stuck in negative thought patterns.Our musical preferences typically form during adolescence and young adulthood, creating lifelong connections that become emotional resources during difficult times. Whether through the nostalgic mixtapes of yesterday or today's carefully curated streaming playlists, these sonic companions help us navigate life's challenges. Instrumental music—from classical compositions to electronic dance music—allows listeners to project their feelings into the soundscape, creating a personalized emotional outlet without the potential distraction of lyrics.Beyond passive listening, actively engaging with music through playing instruments provides additional benefits, fostering discipline, creativity, and emotional expression. These multifaceted musical experiences build resilience and offer healing during times of stress, grief, or anxiety.Ready to explore how music might enhance your own mental wellbeing?

Your thoughts can either be your prison or your freedom; it's all a matter of the mindset you choose. Your mindset shapes the reality you live in... but what if most of what you believe about yourself and your life is just a story you've been telling on repeat?When you default to negative thoughts, or when your mindset is harsh, or panicked, everything feels a lot harder. But when the story you tell yourself is steadier and kinder, and you adopt a more positive mindset, that's when you start to take back control: your stress levels drop, your choices improve, and you can finally feel like you're moving forward.In this week's episode of the Let's Talk About Mental Health podcast, I'm sharing how to change the way you experience life by shifting your mindset. You'll learn practical ways to reset unhelpful patterns, choose calmer perspectives, and create a healthier outlook you can actually live with. Because when you change your mindset, you change everything.

Shows Main Idea – In this episode, I'm diving into something that's quietly shaping our thoughts, our relationships, and even our sanctification—the digital world. Whether we recognize it or not, the cyber world is forming us. It's not just neutral content floating in cyberspace; it's a cultural pull, competing for our hearts, time, and devotion. I'm going to explore this cyber effect, not as a secular psychology study, but as a biblical framework for evaluating the impact of technology on the soul. I'll walk through nine specific effects—from the way devices impact real-life relationships, to how social media shapes identity, to the slow drift away from the local church. This episode isn't about throwing away your phone or deleting every app. It's about re-centering your heart on Christ, so you're not swept along by the current of online culture. Psalm 19 tells us that God's Word restores the soul and makes the simple wise. That's our aim. Let's bring God's Word to bear on cyberspace so that we can love God more deeply and others more intentionally—even in a digital age.

In the tradition of classics such as The Lives of a Cell, a bold reframing of our relationship with technology that argues code is "a universal force--swirling through disciplines, absorbing ideas, and connecting worlds" (Linda Liukas). In the digital world, code is the essential primary building block, the equivalent of the cell or DNA in the biological sphere--and almost as mysterious. Code can create entire worlds, real and virtual; it allows us to connect instantly to people and places around the globe; and it performs tasks that were once only possible in science fiction. It is a superpower, and not just in a technical sense. It is also a gateway to ideas. As vividly illustrated by Samuel Arbesman in The Magic of Code: How Digital Language Created and Connects Our World—and Shapes Our Future (PublicAffairs, 2025), it is the ultimate connector, providing new insight and meaning into how everything from language and mythology to biblical texts, biology, and even our patterns of thought connect with the history and nature of computing. While the building block of code can be used for many wondrous things it can also create deeper wedges in our society and be weaponized to cause damage to our planet or our civilization. Code and computing are too important to be left to the tech community; it is essential that each of us engage with it. And we fail to understand it to our detriment. By providing us with a framework to think about coding and its effects upon the world and placing the past, current, and future developments in computing into its broader setting we see how software and computers can work for people as opposed to against our needs. With this deeper understanding into the "why" of coding we can be masters of technology rather than its subjects. Learn more about your ad choices.

This episode might be one of the most confronting and important conversations I've ever had. I'm joined by psychoanalyst, parent coach and author Erica Komisar to talk about the emotional and neurological development of children in the earliest years of life – and why those first three years matter more than we've been led to believe.Erica doesn't sugarcoat things. She talks openly about how modern parenting culture – especially the pressure on mothers to “do it all” – is clashing with what babies actually need to feel safe, regulated, and securely attached. We explore everything from daycare and maternal instinct to eating disorders, attachment trauma, and the long-term mental health effects of early separation.It's a conversation that may stir discomfort, but that's kind of the point. Because if we want to raise healthy, emotionally resilient children – or begin to heal from our own childhood wounds – we have to be willing to look at the hard truths.Find Erica:Instagram: @ericakomisarWebsite: https://www.ericakomisar.com/Try Bettervits for yourself, head on over to bettervits.co.uk and get 15% off your 1st order with my code PANDORA15.Find Dr Judith Joseph:Website: https://drjudithjoseph.com/Book: https://amzn.eu/d/bZZreAaInstagram: @drjudithjosephStay Connected with Hurt to Healing:Instagram: instagram.com/hurttohealingpodTikTok: tiktok.com/@hurttohealingpodLinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/hurt-to-healingSubstack: substack.com/@hurttohealingWebsite: hurttohealing.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

Deckman unpacks PRRI's groundbreaking American Values Atlas, a massive data project that tracks shifts in public opinion across all 50 states, and shares insights from new research on the growing number of exvangelicals leaving the church.Together, we explore why support for non-discrimination protections remains strong—even among many faith communities—how attitudes toward same-sex marriage have evolved since the Obergefell decision, and why religious refusals continue to spark debate in the courts and in everyday life.

Welcome to another episode of the Sustainable Clinical Medicine Podcast! In this inspiring episode, Dr. Sarah Smith sits down with Dr. Cynthia Chen-Joea, a double board-certified family and obesity medicine physician, educator, and passionate advocate for physician wellness. Dr. Cynthia shares her personal journey from academic medicine through the challenges of burnout, her transformative experience with coaching, and how becoming a parent reshaped her professional values and priorities. Together, they dive deep into the realities of trauma and harm in medical training, the persistence of unhealthy work habits into clinical practice, and the importance of redefining our identities as physicians. Dr. Cynthia also discusses practical strategies for establishing boundaries, healing from the pressures of perfectionism and people-pleasing, and making medicine truly sustainable. You'll hear about her current work supporting physicians through coaching, retreats, and advocacy, and discover how small daily changes can lead to a more meaningful, balanced career. If you've ever questioned what it means to thrive in medicine, or wondered how to reclaim your empathy and joy for the profession, this conversation is packed with insightful stories and actionable advice. Tune in for a message of hope, transformation, and the reminder that a sustainable career in medicine is possible. Here are 3 key takeaways from this episode: Medical training often normalizes unhealthy patterns: Dr. Chen-Joea highlights how the culture of self-sacrifice and hierarchy during medical training can introduce trauma, shaping physicians to ignore their own needs. Breaking these cycles is essential for lasting well-being. Redefining your career is possible—and necessary: Whether through coaching, boundary-setting, or exploring new roles, Dr. Chen-Joea emphasizes that medicine can be sustainable. Small, intentional changes—like building in non-negotiable personal time—can have a huge impact. Trauma awareness matters (and it's practical): Understanding your own “activation” responses (like fight, flight, freeze, or fawn) is key. Recognizing these signs allows clinicians to proactively care for themselves and model healthy behaviors for colleagues and patients alike. Meet Dr. Cynthia Chen-Joea: Dr. Cynthia Chen-Joea is a physician career and life coach dedicated to helping early-career physicians finding sustainability in medicine by achieving their “career by design” goals while cultivating a healthy work-life balance. She is a double board-certified physician in family and obesity medicine. Dr. Chen-Joea currently serves as a Medical Director of Copa de Oro Medical Group and Inpatient Director at the Charles Drew Family Medicine Residency Program. In addition to her clinical work, Dr. Chen-Joea has held numerous leadership roles, including her past position as Department Chair of Family Medicine, Secretary-Treasurer of the Medical Staff and Physician Advisor at Emanate Health. She is also very active in advocacy on her local, state and national specialty organizations, and currently represents her peers as the New Physician Director on the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) Board of Directors. Dr. Chen-Joea is passionate about advancing physician wellness, advocating at the systemic level, and providing individual coaching support to empower physicians in achieving sustainable careers in medicine. Her interests include inpatient medicine, leadership, advocacy, procedures and women's health. Outside of work, Dr. Chen-Joea enjoys quality time with her two-year-old daughter and her nine-year-old pup, traveling and exploring new cultures with her husband, savoring delicious foods, practicing yoga and Pilates, and indulging in the occasional Netflix reality TV binge.

When eight-year-old David Eagleman fell from a roof, his brain created the illusion that time slowed down during the 0.6-second fall. This accident sparked his lifelong fascination with human psychology and how the brain constructs our perception of time and reality, ultimately shaping his path as a leading neuroscientist. In this episode, David explores the concepts of time perception, sensory substitution, and livewiring, revealing how the brain rewires itself, why perception is an illusion, and whether humans could one day unlock a sixth or seventh sense. In this episode, Hala and David will discuss: (00:00) Introduction (01:26) Childhood Fall and Slowed Time Perception (06:46) Exploring the Concept of Umwelt (10:33) Animal Senses and Human Nature Limitations (16:46) Brain Plasticity vs. Livewiring Explained (27:50) Sensory Substitution and the Future of Senses (36:29) The Psychology of Why We Dream (42:02) The Intersection Between Science and Religion (48:47) The Future of Livewired Technology (51:39) AI vs. Livewired Systems and Human Potential David Eagleman is a neuroscientist at Stanford University, a bestselling author, and the founder of Neosensory and BrainCheck.
