Jonathan is joined by medical doctor and psychotherapist Carlos Raimundo for an exploration of the human capacity for violence in the name of political ideology. Carlos recounts his personal experiences of political violence during the "dirty war" in Argentina and the life long study of psychology, philosophy, theology and neuroscience it prompted in him in aid of trying to understand the human condition. Dr Carlos Raimundo trained and worked as a doctor and surgeon in Argentina before moving to Australia in 1986 to work as a Baptist Pastor to the Spanish-speaking community of Western Sydney. He has practiced as a psychotherapist in both Argentina and Australia, studied theology under Francis Schaefffer, is the developer of the award winning psychodrama technology Play for LIfe, currently works as a leadership coach and trainer for the corporate sector and is researching the neuroscience of emotions, behavioural modification and relationships. The Political Animals is hosted by Jonathan Cole, an academic, writer, speaker and translator who specialises in political theology: the intersetion of religion and politics. Previously, he worked as a Senior Terrorism Analyst at Australian intelligence agency The Office of National Assessments.
