Politics In Its Place Original

PIIP Original episodes tackle a topic/theme/issue in-depth. Ermin and Elvis have a conversation about politics/govt. by looking at it from perspectives outside of politics. We discuss how psychological, sociological, philosophical, economic, and other perspectives influence how we see politics, govt. and the ideal society.Ermin studied Psychology for 6-years, including 2 years of Graduate school, where I was training to be a Child/School Psychologist. I did ultimately decide to voluntarily withdraw the Grad program, but was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to experience a blend of course work and clinical work but also recognize some of the problems facing the mental health system and graduate school system.
