Voices from ROOM: A Podcast for Analytic Action
Violence as Societal Disorder with Dr. Bandy X. Lee
This week we speak with Dr. Bandy X. Lee, editor of the best selling book "The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump" and president of the World Mental Health Coalition, about her life-long work studying, predicting, and preventing violence. As a clinician and academic Dr Lee felt called to action when, after the 2016 election, the US society was faced with what she presciently feared might devolve into violence. Expanding on the essays she published in ROOM during that time, Dr. Lee describes the continued personal and professional repercussions she has endured for speaking out. She implores us to pay attention to the signs of continuing danger.
Thank you for listening,
Your hosts, Isaac Slone and Aneta Stojnić
