  • Excellent FND episode

    Thank you so much for your episode with Dr Adams about FND (July 2025). A loved one in my life has recently been given this diagnosis, and your succinct but thorough overview of FNDs was so illuminating and practical. Thanks for the sense of respect you both brought to the subject. I’m not a medical professional, just a layperson, but I learned a lot from your conversation and feel encouraged.

  • Finding psychotherapy

    Dr Mullen, Thanks again for your labor of love; clarifying and highlighting challenging areas of psychiatry. Enjoyed recent summary of the season, especially admitting vulnerability and ways to improve.

    In a recent episode you interviewed Dr Shedler who always challenges and exposes various therapies. While psychodynamic practices make sense I’m challenged connecting with a psychodynamic therapist. Any resources to connect with a qualified therapist would be most helpful.

  • Great podcast!

    As a high school student thinking of going into psychiatry, this podcast has been a real help in understanding what psychiatry is all about. Being new to the world of medicine in general, all the topics are covered in a way that makes it easy to understand, and I’ve learned a lot about the current debates in the field. Such a great podcast, it’s motivated me to continue on this path in my education!

  • More skepticism about TMS efficacy claims please?

    The recent article on TMS makes claims about its efficacy that are not supported by the most recent meta-analyses. Effect sizes are small when we look at RCT with sham studies. Why don’t the interviewers push back against people pushing psychiatrist? This show is not for skeptics, I fear.

  • Addresses the why not just the how

    An extremely important podcast for anyone going into psychiatry and a useful reminder for those within the field. Dr Mullen does a spectacular job tackling the difficult to answer questions of what the role of a psychiatrist should be and evaluated what the goals of different services should be. While as an intern I was initially disappointed this podcast didn’t have the high yield facts I had been hoping to find to boost my performance, I now on a re-listen am realizing this podcast influenced ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Inside Sports Psychiatry with Dr. David McDuff
Q: Dr. McDuff, what do you recommend for someone in medical school or residency who wants to get involved in sports psychiatry?
Start by joining international and national societies, pursue the certificate program in sports psychiatry, seek mentoring, complete clinical and scholarly projects, and explore pathways through the American Board of Sport and Performance Psychiatry to gain board certification or formal credentials.
Meaningful Psychotherapy: Psychoanalytic Principles in Modern Psychotherapy with Dr. Jonathan Shedler
Q: What is TherapySpeak, and why is it a problem?
TherapySpeak involves vague, pop-psychology language that obscures concrete understanding of a patient's experience; true psychotherapy should move from abstract labels to specific, observable experiences and mutual exploration of those experiences.
Meaningful Psychotherapy: Psychoanalytic Principles in Modern Psychotherapy with Dr. Jonathan Shedler
Q: Why is it so hard to move beyond manualized treatments in real-world practice?
Manuals help manage clinician anxiety but can hinder genuine change; meaningful therapy requires internalizing principles, staying curious, and remaining open to evolving understanding through ongoing supervision and personal therapy.
Meaningful Psychotherapy: Psychoanalytic Principles in Modern Psychotherapy with Dr. Jonathan Shedler
Q: What type of psychotherapy would you say you practice, and how do you fit into existing modalities?
The approach is grounded in core psychoanalytic principles that emphasize a relationship-based process, case formulation, and a willingness to enter the unknown with the patient, rather than insisting on a single branded modality.
BONUS: Call for Submissions: Shaping the Season Four Final Forum
Q: What kind of listener input are you looking for for the final episode of season four?
Audience members are encouraged to submit questions and comments on topics covered throughout the season, which will be read and addressed on air in the final episode.
