    The Family - Does It Work? Did It Ever?

    [S07 E10]  The Family Does It Work? Did It Ever?
    The family is a sacred cow, It is presented as instinctual, and eternal. It isn't. Family is breaking down. It's time to study it, question it, and create new alternatives and study the successful alternatives whose stories have been repressed. If we do, we can find ways to empower and free each other on every level.

BUDRAARDUA ,

Brilliant!

I love this woman! Her voice is soothing so learning from her is a pleasure! Exploring the intersection between Marxism / Critical Psychology / Feminism is exactly what I was looking for….we have to question our existence and the impact on mental health! This podcast and studying other cultures (indigenous psychologies) is what we need to find ways to push back against capitalism! @fightingtobehuman @traumainformedrecovery @drawingthecontemporary

Dr. Fraad brings a unique view to universal issues

Dr. Fraad’s deep understanding of both psychology and Marxist economics allows her to dispense a very accurate diagnosis to many of the problems that plague us all. I truly appreciate for thoughts and thank her for the time she spends putting her podcasts together.

100%

I love Dr. Fraad. My husband and I refer to her as simply “Harriet,” as in “let’s see what Harriet has to say today,” and she’s become part of our weekly household discussion. I highly recommend for those who maybe don’t regularly participate in or understand discussions of this nature but are curious, as her lectures are succinct, thoughtful, and well-Informed.
