This podcast takes the theories of psychoanalysis - historically limited to the couches of Manhattan, Paris, London, and Vienna - and uses these ideas to solve every day problems in our personal lives, and in our communities everywhere. Frustrated by the limitations of a private practice, and struck by the way technology is radically changing access to all kinds of things, I thought that more people could benefit from the ideas that come from this rich and fascinating tradition. Especially in a time where our ability to relate effectively to one another seems to be strained to the breaking point, a map to understanding the darker parts of ourselves seems more important than ever. Give us a listen!
