Dr. Jamieson Webster

This week I had the privilege of speaking with Dr. Jamieson Webster. 

I have recently been reading her book: Disorganization and Sex and highly recommend reading it as well as her recent article in the New York Times entitled I Don't Need to Be a 'Good Person.' Neither Do You. 

I was thrilled to get to hear Jamieson's thoughts on the unconcious, superego, guilt, transgression, and how psychoanalysis might help to give desire back to the subject and also how we might alleviate anxiety and guilt on a more collective level.

You can find many fascinating interviews with Jamieson on Youtube as well!
