Welcome to Episode 85 of the Being Human Podcast: The New Psych 101 w/ Dr. Bryan Violette and Amy Grace Miller (Certification Series: Part 2 of 12)

The second episode of our new 12-part series introducing each course of our certification! This week Dr. Greg changes it up by welcoming past podcast guests Dr. Bryan Violette and Amy Grace Miller back to the show for a roundtable conversation about psychological theories and how our certification brings together those most consistent with a Catholic anthropology. 

Discussed in this episode:

  • The lack of a shared philosophical foundation in the field of psychology and the need for anthropology as a lens through which we can view the psychological sciences;
  • An overview of the development of various psychological theories; 
  • Why psychodynamic interpersonal theory is foundational to our model;
  • Research in the field of psychology as skewed by specific agendas and ideologies;
  • Relational templates formed in childhood and the ways they are projected onto other relationships; 
  • The work of Harry Stack Sullivan and his relational stages of development;
  • Limitations of both IFS theory and the research of John Gottman; 
  • Ethics in psychology and the importance of self-awareness when helping others in this field.
