  • Dr. Joel Schwartz: Neurodiversity

    In this episode, I speak with Dr. Joel Schwartz. Joel is a licensed clinical psychologist with a private practice centered in Arroyo Grande. The practice is virtual (so they see anyone in CA and CO). He specializes in therapy and testing for the misunderstood. As a therapist, he is warm, compassionate, and strongly humanistic, allowing for all the oddities and unexplored aspects of his clients to emerge and be validated. As a testing psychologist, Dr. Schwartz specializes in difficult and complex cases.

    Dr. Schwartz grew up in Southern California. He developed an early interest in psychology, strangely enough, from a childhood filled with science fiction stories. These stories often provided fascinating looks into human psychology and the human spirit. Dr. Schwartz attended UCLA as an undergrad where he conducted research in the field of neurolinguistics. From there, he attended Yeshiva University’s Ferkauf School of Clinical Psychology for his Master’s and Doctorate degree. He has worked in various settings including colleges, clinics, a federal prison, and residential treatment centers. Through his experience with a vast array of individuals he has stuck with one important lesson among many; as the psychoanalyst Harry Stack Sullivan said, “We are all more human than otherwise.”

    In this episode, we explore various facets of the neurodiversity. 

    Highlights:

    Joel's jewish roots and how this impacts his understanding of social justice

    Foundations of a neurodivergent-affirming practice 

    Damian Milton and the double-empathy problem 

    Nick Walker's neuroqueer theory 

    Humanistic goals in therapy 

    Joel's future vision for his Neurodiversity Affirmative Therapists group

    The developmental approach of Lev Vygotsky 

    Much more!

  • Dr. Jason W. Moore: The Web of Life
    In this episode, I speak to Dr. Jason W. Moore. Jason is an environmental historian and historical geographer at Binghamton University, where he is professor of sociology and leads the World-Ecology Research Collective. He is author or editor, most recently, of Capitalism in the Web of Life (Verso, 2015), Capitalocene o Antropocene? (Ombre Corte, 2017), Anthropocene or Capitalocene? Nature, History, and the Crisis of Capitalism (PM Press, 2016), and, with Raj Patel, A History of the World in Seven Cheap Things (University of California Press, 2017). His books and essays on environmental history, capitalism, and social theory have been widely recognized, including the Alice Hamilton Prize of the American Society for Environmental History (2003), the Distinguished Scholarship Award of the Section on the Political Economy of the World-System (American Sociological Association, 2002 for articles, and 2015 for Web of Life), and the Byres and Bernstein Prize in Agrarian Change (2011). He coordinates the World-Ecology Research Network. He can be reached at: [email protected].
    In this episode, we explore Jason's research and what it has to say to our contemporary social situation. There is a lot to wrestle with here including the history of capitalism, our modern alienation(s) and the hopeful vision of a connective, relational web of life.
