Kriget om din själ

Vi diskuterar makt i olika typer av terapi utifrån bl.a. Foucalt.

Loke försöker kritisera positivismen. Ragnar ifrågasätter.

Vi pratar om monism (tron på att hela världen kan förklaras med en teori) och pluralism (tron på att vi snarare behöver flera olika perspektiv). Utifrån detta kommer vi in på psykoterapi, politik och kärlek.

Vi pratar om vad syftet egentligen kan vara med att arbeta som psykolog och i förlängningen syftet med den kliniska psykologin. Varför finns vi? Varför håller vi på med det här?

Vi försöker vara lite samtidsaktuella och kommenterar en aktuell (nåja, ganska aktuell) debatt i Dagens Nyheter om psykoterapi. Garanterat det mest förberedda avsnittet hittills!

Vi diskuterar psykiatrisk diagnostik.

Vi diskuterar reproducerbarhetskrisen inom psykologin och om det borde anses vara någon form av kris inom den kliniska (empiriska) psykologin.   Referenslista (i omnämnd ordning) Driessen, E., Hollon, S.

Vi försöker, till sist, prata om hur en framtid för psykologin skulle kunna se ut. Det är svårt, men kul!
