Shrink Rap Radio with Paul Moore

Shrink Rap Radio is one of the podcasts I listen to regularly. David Van Nuys interviews a variety of guests with interests in clinical and counseling issues. In fact, you can now obtain CE credits by listening to his show.

His most recent interview features Paul Moore, a psychoanalyst in Ireland, and touches on issues relevant to psychology of religion. You can listen to it online at that link, or through iTunes. Moore discusses, among other things, his perception of the problems that the Catholic Church is experiencing, and some ways that religion and psychotherapy are similar. For people experienced with these topics it will present nothing new, but if you have not read much on these themes it may be worth listening to.

Pass it along to your students or others who might be interested in religion and therapy.
