Being a graduate from 3 years of studying psych and with an active experience of mental illness, I can say that no amount of studying theory and doing therapy+ taking meds for years helped me realize the root of my problems and my worth as a human. more than Marxist analysis. I live to be a part of the revolution, and as long as psychotherapy reinforces the client to believe in themselves and to accept the realities of it is what it is, it will never achieve its job of liberating the person. There is a need for psychology to gain a Marxist perspective, more so from modern day leftists in the mental health field.
Its a worthy topic to bring up again, there are obviously people that took it too far and into the realm of ideology but I felt like a lot of people were also too dismissive.
It is. I just brought that up for amusement.
Oh totally, it was pretty entertaining
