Join me for this a continued multi-part series on the deterioration of the mental health field from the perspective of the professionals in the trenches.

Join host Lucas Klein, Ph.D. in an enlightening discussion with Dr. Sally Sattel, an esteemed American psychiatrist, on the Real Clear Podcast. This episode delves into pressing issues such as anti-Semitism in psychological associations, the impact of political correctness in medicine, and the troubling shift towards non-evidence-based practices in therapy and psychiatry.

Dr. Sattel shares her insights on how so-called critical social justice pedagogy influences medical training and patient care. The conversation also explores recent controversies surrounding medical school admissions policies.

Tune in as Dr. Sattel provides a critical analysis of current trends in psychotherapy, raising alarms about how political ideologies are infiltrating therapeutic practices, and what this means for both practitioners and patients looking for genuine mental health care.
