Dr. Klein has the distinct pleasure of speaking with Dr. David Cohen, Professor and Associate Dean at the UCLA School of Social Welfare. Dr. Cohen is a widely published scholar; his research looks at psychoactive drugs (prescribed, licit, and illicit) and their desirable and undesirable effects as socio-cultural phenomena “constructed” through language, policy, attitudes, and social interactions. Drs. Klein and Cohen discuss the broken American psychiatric system, drugs and the use of the medical model for explaining and attending to mental distress, homelessness, and more. This is a complex and wide reaching episode!
