Lucid, rigorous, and beautifully prepared
An outstanding podcast that introduces psychoanalytic concepts and modes of thinking to wider audiences without sacrifices rigor or precision. The essays are thoughtfully organized around big topics - either in psychoanalysis or culture generally - and meticulously prepared for listening comprehension. Truly a pleasure (where it could easily be a slog!). Especially impressive is how they work through both an individual-oriented framework while moving outwards to the role of culture and politics for psychoanalytic subjectivity — very important work given that there’s still some suspicion towards psychoanalysis’ relationship to emancipatory politics and marginalized identities. NOTE: this podcast is the english translation of the German original, which has a far more impressive archive that touches on topics like poverty, disordered relationships to work, and PA in the GDR. I would LOVE to see these made available for English audiences. More material related to societal and political critique would likely increase interest in the podcast.

And when together they find more, more than the patient could once hold alone, even more is revealed and the truth begins to shine a light...Read full review »
