Reflections on Psychology, meaning and humanism. From South Africa. Discussing psychology, meaning and humanism. Using the authentic ideas in psychology to unravel the world we find post covid, post Apartheid, post-Trump, post-Brexit, post religion. Asking how we can see the humanity in each other, how we can overcome life’s speed bumps and engage with the drama that is being alive.

Discussing Carl Jung, Rollo May, Maslow, Adler, Scott Barry Kaufman, Jordan B. Peterson, Colin G DeYoung.

I describe a construct that men (or women) may be able to use effectively in their ethics within counselling psychology.
What is happening in South Africa? I explain the roots of Marxist policies in South Africa under the ANC and how this is being rebranded as we speak as CRT in the west.

I was invited to speak to a network of psychologists and other stakeholders regarding the dangers of Critical Theory in Counselling as it relates to countries like South Africa. My talk spun from my paper here: Angelo Vincenzo De Boni (psychreg.org)
