On this episode of the Being Properly Podcast, Dr. Rick and Forrest discover the concepts, context, and legacy of psychoanalysis, the often-controversial origin level for contemporary remedy. They focus on psychoanalysis’ early historical past and key ideas just like the unconscious thoughts, repression, internal battle, and transference. Alongside these main contributions, they wrestle with what hasn’t aged so effectively: the reductionism, murky ethics, and entanglements with colonialism and the Victorian worldview. This episode is each a tribute to and a critique of psychoanalysis as a wealthy, flawed, and deeply influential place to begin for contemporary remedy.
