“Nothing’s as static as people make it out to be.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Make psychoanalysis subversive again! Vanessa Sinclair<\/a> joins the show to talk about her new book, Switching Mirrors<\/a>. We get into psychoanalysis, art and the occult, magical thinking (good and bad), Vanessa’s use of cut-up theory and practice, finding The Third Mind with her collaborator, Katelan Foisy<\/a>, how she went from ghost-hunter to psychoanalyst, the problem with the lack of rites of passage in western culture, where psychology went wrong, having a book problem, and co-founding an underground anarchist psychoanalyst gang<\/a>! Give it a listen!<\/a> And go buy Switching Mirrors<\/a>!<\/p>\n

“I was told that if you treat someone analytically, you’re being unethical, that it’s better just to give them medication so they can go back to work and be productive.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
