    222: Paul Wachtel's Approach to Integrative Psychotherapy: Exploring Attachment, Anxiety, and the Disavowed Self

    In this episode, we explore the innovative work of Dr. Paul L. Wachtel, a leading psychologist known for his integrative approach to psychotherapy. Dr. Wachtel challenges single-framework therapy models, advocating for a flexible approach that draws from cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, humanistic, and other modalities. We discuss his concept of the "disavowed self"—the parts of oneself that are unconsciously denied—and how therapists can help clients reclaim these aspects to foster growth. We also dive into how attachment theory and integrative methods can be used to treat anxiety, phobias, and interpersonal issues, providing practical insights for both therapists and those interested in understanding human behavior more deeply. Join us for an engaging conversation on advancing therapeutic practices.

    219: Eating Disorders: Empathy, Alexithymia, Reflective Function

    Eating disorders are often understood through a medical or behavioral lens, focusing on symptom reduction.

    218: Where Psychiatry Meets Politics: The Goldwater Rule

    There is an extensive history of psychiatry and politics intersecting. Perhaps the most visible flashpoint occurred during the 1964 presidential campaign and gave rise to a movement in organized psychiatry that has resulted in issuance of formal ethical guidance (the “Goldwater Rule”). In this episode, Dr. David Puder and Dr. Mark Mullen discuss the pros and pitfalls of the Goldwater Rule and psychiatry's role in politics.

    217: Adverse Childhood Experiences - HPA axis & Brain changes: cortisol, amygdala, hippocampus, cytokines, & epigenetics (Part 3 of ACE series)

    In this week’s episode, we continue our series on Adverse Childhood Experiences by delving deeper into the lasting effect of ACEs on the brain and body. We explore the intricate impact of ACEs on the HPA axis, inflammation, and neurobiology, shedding light on their role in various psychiatric disorders. We highlight how these changes may indicate a shared phenotype resulting from early adversity but that they likely do not explain the entire effect ACEs have on an individual.

    216: Shrink Next Door: A Psychiatrist’s Analysis

    Listening to The Shrink Next Door elicited a range of emotions in me, including angst, sadness, intrigue, and heartache. For those unfamiliar with the story, it revolves around a psychiatrist named Ike who isolates his patient, Marty, from his family, takes over his business, lives in his house, charges him over a million dollars, and makes him undertake various projects for him. We will discuss the podcast's characters as if they are fictional. The podcast, akin to House of Cards for the psychotherapy world, reveals the manipulation and betrayal that can occur behind the scenes. Just as House of Cards exposed viewers to the Machiavellian tactics in politics, The Shrink Next Door disrupts the sacred space of the therapy office. This week, I am joined by Dr. Eric Bender, a psychiatrist and psychotherapist, to discuss, The Shrink Next Door. Dr. Bender practices in San Francisco, has been featured multiple times on GQ’s online show The Breakdown, Wired magazine’s Tech Help, and on YouTube.
