The Impact of Donald Trump on America - A Cultic Studies Perspective: Homestudy (with Dr. Janja Lalich and Dr. Jamie Marich)
Lecture and discussion between Dr. Lalich and Dr. Marich. 3 Hours.
Prepared by Janja Lalich, Ph.D. and Jamie Marich, Ph.D., LPCC-S, REAT
This course examines the impact of former President Trump’s rise to political power in the American landscape, and very often in clients that we serve. We explore this phenomenon through a multi-disciplinary lens, bringing together sociologist and cult specialist Janja Lalich with clinical trauma specialist Jamie Marich. Together we describe the principles of what makes a cult a cult, and then explain how dynamics connected to former President Trump fit into well-accepted, academic explanations within cultic studies. Through the course we facilitate discussion with course participants about the behavioral impact of such dynamics that we see in our clinical settings and what to be aware of in the coming months and years, regardless of the 2024 election outcome.
Due to the interdisciplinary nature of this course, we welcome anyone who works with the public to attend this course, although be advised that the content is primarily delivered for human services professionals and therapists (at all levels)
Cost of workshop: $25.00
Video replay will be posted here by October 2, 2024.
