Working Towards a New Liberation Psychology - PsyMat w/Benji Schoendorff

Introducing PsyMat, the New Resistance is Fertile series！

Working Towards a New Liberation Psychology!

PsyMat is a new series I am opening a new playlist to delve into ideas I've explored over the past 18 years.
I present how my professional background as a clinical psychologist introduced me to relational frame theory, a novel form of behaviorism providing a materialist account of language, cognition, and consciousness.

I believe RFT's insights can be connected to Marxist theory, and in this series will work on presenting a synthesis can help us unmask and challenge the psychological tools used by capitalist and imperialist forces to maintain domination. Through understanding these processes, we can strive toward building a universal class consciousness that recognizes equal human worth and dignity, nurturing the global struggle for liberation from oppressive systems.

I hope you find it useful. Benji.

Btw: the quote is from Jean-Jacques Rousseau, not Marx!
