In this episode, we sit down
with Jon and Frank to talk about their newly published edited
collection, The Revolutionary
Psychologist’s Guide to Radical Therapy. We explore what
“radical psychological practice” means, the ways capitalism
undermines mental health, and why therapy without a class analysis
risks hitting a dead end. Along the way, we touch on the
possibilities and limitations of mainstream therapy, how radical
approaches can open up new paths to collective well-being, and much
more.
