Doorknob Comments was named for a phenomenon that sometimes happens at the end of a therapy session, when the patient may mention something important and riddled with conflict, right as you’re walking out the door. Equal parts frustrating and enlightening, it surfaces key issues which may--or may not!-- get addressed anytime soon.

  • A guilty pleasure for a colleague…

    Grant and Sara are both erudite and humorous—the time speeds by each time I listen to this podcast. And yet it’s simply a pleasure, not a guilty one, because it prompts both questions and insights every bit as profoundly as the journals in our field!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Narrative Fallacies in Dynamic Therapy
Q: Dr. Tolchinksy, how did your study of this inform your day-to-day practice, seeing patients?
My study of narrative fallacy underscores the importance of avoiding simplistic connections between symptoms in therapy; rather, we should recognize the complex interplay of various factors influencing a patient's mental health.
Narrative Fallacies in Dynamic Therapy
Q: Could you define for us what narrative fallacy is and how that relates to the process of growth and therapy, say?
Narrative fallacy, coined by Nassim Taleb, refers to the connection made between events A and B without sufficient data to support that they are related. It highlights how humans often simplify complex psychological phenomena into understandable narratives, despite lacking the necessary evidence.
Navigating Education Challenges with Sharon Thomas
Q: How do you think about this educational philosophy?
It varies from child to child, and schools need to recognize that being average is not offensive.
Navigating Education Challenges with Sharon Thomas
Q: What kind of leverage do parents have that they can counter that fear of being counseled out?
Public schools have laws guaranteeing a free, appropriate public education, whereas private schools have much more leeway.
Navigating Education Challenges with Sharon Thomas
Q: What were the biggest gaps that you were hoping to fill?
The idea of founding MAIA came about when I realized families needed advice that was not motivated by financial gain.
