This week’s episode features an analysis of the social divisions undermining the solidarity needed to fight both the coronavirus pandemic and the economic crash as a potential result of it. It also talks about how the inconsistent, out-of-touch and non-empathetic US leadership is leaving millions of Americans with nowhere to turn as they increasingly feel society falling apart around them.
Prof. Wolff discusses the psychological factors worsening this existing crisis, such as widespread loneliness and a sense of powerlessness, with Tess Fraad-Wolff, a psychotherapist practicing privately in New York City for the last decade, in an effort to better understand and more appropriately respond to the psychological aspects of today’s crises.
