CTA Podcast
Critical Therapy Antidote was established in 2020 as a response to the rapid, uncontested and systemic encroachment of Critical Social Justice (CSJ) on the psychotherapy field. The purpose of its establishment was to provide a platform where those concerned about this ideological takeover can challenge these ideas in articles, share resources and find a network of likeminded professionals and laypersons. In March 2023, the CTA Podcast was launched by clinical psychologist, Jaco van Zyl, and marriage and family therapist, Christine Sefein-Wolk. The CTA Podcast aims to critically analyse the tenets of CSJ, to provide diverse alternatives to this ideology, and to reestablish the healing ethos of psychotherapy. Welcome to the CTA Podcast. We hope it will both stimulate and challenge you.

Political Correctness from a former student of Marcuse's | with Dr. Howard S. Schwartz
Dr. Howard S. Schwartz is an emeritus professor of organizational behaviour at Oakland University. A former student of Herbert Marcuse, Howard started formulating what he observed in organisations and Western society since the 1990s in psychoanalytic terms. He is the author of several academic papers and books, including Narcissistic Process and Corporate Decay (1990), Society Against Itself: Political Correctness and Organizational Self-Destruction (2000), The Revolt of the Primitive: An Inquiry into the Roots of Political Correctness (2003) and Political Correctness and the Destruction of Social Order: Chronicling the Rise of the Pristine Self (2016).
In this episode, we discuss how Howard came to his formulation of politically correct, or Woke society, compare it to Herbert Marcuse's own imagined utopia, multiculturalism, the anti-bullying movement and the way out of this current societal quagmire.
