About this listen

Modern psychiatry began with noble intentions: to heal, guide, and support. But has it lost its way?

In this episode of Curiously, I explore this question and much more with Dr. Bruce Levine, a clinical psychologist and outspoken critic of his profession.

Drawing from his latest book, A Profession Without Reason, Levine examines how psychiatry often medicalizes natural traits like curiosity, defiance and rebellion, sometimes to harmful ends. We discuss the history of the field, its missteps, and the dangers of labeling freethinkers as disordered.
