This stuff (intersectionality and identity politics) has no place in psychotherapy. Identity politics is divisive, and I would have thought someone from Northern Ireland would know that intuitively. It doesn't work in the US, where it at least attempts to address American culture and history, but all it's done there is inflame their culture war. It does not map onto other countries and cultures. Its basis is in French postmodernism and the French have themselves explicitly rejected it in its vulgarised American form. It's garbage. It's the least likely thing to lead to any kind of human flourishing that I can think of. You had this guy on three years ago, when he was using all the empty buzzwords. Have you not learned that this is poisonous guff yet? Disappointing. I'd run a mile from any psychotherapist putting the idea of 'microaggressions' into anyone's head. In what world does that add up to good sense?
@@tonyburton419 I'm sorry but this guy has vulgarised, American critical theory hanging out of him. It's a racket, as Ibram X Kendi's experience has recently shown. Apart from that, it's explicitly anti-science. What could go wrong in applying it in a clinical setting?
Intersection is a pathetic attempt at complexity. It states the bloody obvious. We are complex beings with complex influences… no shit! However, intersection is reductive to a few ideas ignoring many many others. It’s so confused , contradictory and shallow as an idea . Just take any one of these points here. It’s a rebranding of the obvious.
Apparently, I am privileged for being able to go to uni and get in debt.
Keep voting for "FREEEE!!" and complete personal irresponsibility and then complain about oh-pression with the policies you demand.
Thanks for an interesting discussion and I hope you avoid the comment section, Dr. Turner. 😅
