After Katie opens up about a gruesome injury and Jesse tells a story about a listener's travails at an upscale New York City climbing gym, the hosts discuss Jesse's book, which is out on Tuesday. Specifically, they dig into Comprehensive Soldier Fitness, an anti-PTSD Army program that doesn't work, and the implicit association test, an anti-racism test that... doesn't work. Also, it turns out both hosts are kinda scared of bridges, which feels like something they should dig into at some later date.
I've been making my way through old BAR pod episodes after giving myself the gift of being a paid subscriber. I'm a clinical psychologist who enjoys Jesse's nuanced and thoughtful reporting on psychology-related topics, so i can't wait to read his new book. I am wondering if Jesse has read the PTSD chapter from recent guest Ethan Watters's book on the globalization of the DSM. It provides an illuminating history of the PTSD diagnosis and brings up many concerns related to the misapplication of the diagnosis.
