Owing to a rapidly changing world, many clinicians understandably feel it is increasingly difficult to keep track of (let alone integrate) considerations around systems level challenges (e.g., social media, political polarization, housing shortage, monetary policy etc.) that may be germane to their day-to-day work with clients. In this conversation, Dr. Pete Kelly, C.Psych and Dr. Jeff Perron. C.Psych, MBA, share some of their thoughts on what they have been observing going on in the world based on their respective lens, as well as through the lens of clinical psychologists who are trying to help clients in an ever increasingly complex and distressing environment. In this conversation (recorded January, 2022) they place a particular focus on how current monetary policy could promote inequity and division in society as well as discuss how innovations like Bitcoin (perhaps surprisingly to many) could reflect a new way forward as per the issues raised in the discussion. Topics covered include:reflections on noted shifts in macroeconomic patterns, political polarization and the "accelerant" influence of social media in this respectthe potential benefits of mental health clinicians having awareness of systems level challenges faced by their clients the challenge of science vs. advocacy driven narratives around important policy issuesthe role that current monetary policy could play in accelerating political polarization and economic disparity the definition of "money" and types of moneythe challenges associated with fiat currencies related to inflation and how this drives division and inequityconcerns around sustainability of current financial paradigmsa very brief primer on Bitcoin and the role this emergent currency platform could play in addressing some of the challenges related to division and inequity of Fiat currencyIMPORTANT: Neither Drs.
