Is this Counseling or Social Engineering? Therapy's Hidden History with Suzannah Alexander


Listen Later

Suzannah Alexander returned to grad school to pursue a Clinical Mental Health Counseling master’s degree at the University of Tennessee. What she encountered, however, was a program deeply entrenched in Critical Theories ideology. During her time there, she experienced significant resistance, particularly for her Buddhist practice, which was labeled as invalidating to other identities. After careful reflection, she chose to leave the program, believing the curriculum being taught would ultimately harm clients and lead to unethical practices in the field.Since then, she has dedicated herself to investigating, writing, and speaking out about the troubling direction of psychology, higher education, and other institutions that seem to have lost their way. When she's not working on these issues, you’ll find her in the garden, creating art, walking her dog, or guiding her kids toward adulthood.You can also find my work at Minding the Campus: https://www.mindingthecampus.org/author/suzannahalexander/https://www.diogenesinexile.com https://x.com/DiogenesInExilehttps://www.givesendgo.com/DiogenesInExile_____________________________________________________________________If you would like to contact me, my website is: https://theradicalcenterconsulting.com/ and I am on twitter @JLeslieElliott And if you appreciate this ongoing project and would like to support my continued work in this area you can chip in at any of the following (thank you very much!): https://www.paypal.me/jleslieelliott https://www.buymeacoffee.com/radicalcenterhttps://www.patreon.com/theradicalcenter
