Claudia M Gold MD

Kathryn interviews Pediatrician Claudia M. Gold MD, author of “The Power of Discord: Why the Ups and Downs of Relationships Are the Secret to Building Intimacy, Resilience, and Trust.” She shows how working through the inevitable dissonance of human connection is the path to better relationships. Dr. Gold is on the faculty of the University of Massachusetts Boston Infant-Parent Mental Health Program, the Brazelton Institute at Boston Children’s Hospital and the Berkshire Psychoanalytic Institute. Kathryn also interviews Associate Professor of English, University of Nevada Christopher Coake, author of “You Would Have Told Me Not To: Stories.” He examines the fallout from failed relationships between men and women, relationships that have crumbled under the weight of betrayal, misplaced hopes, illness and, in particular, from masculinity, at its most toxic and misguided. Coake was named one of Granta’s Best Young American Novelists and has been published in numerous literary journals.
