s04e45 | Psychoanalysis in Theory and Practice, with Jonathan Shedler

Jonathan Shedler is a psychologist and clinician whose research covers personality types. In this discussion, we explore the ethos and historical context of Psychoanalysis, from its beginnings with Freud to its subsequent developments, and how it is distinct from other therapies. We cover psychoanalysis' purpose and methods, how it has become weaponized in common discourse, and what its real aims are.
