  • 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.

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.
Scientific Pluralism and the Evolution of Psychiatric Classification with Dr. Awais Aftab
Q: How should the field think about pluralism and its practical applications in DSM-6 and beyond?
The guest explains that pluralism means recognizing multiple explanatory frameworks as valuable, rather than forcing a single true theory. He argues for tailoring classification to specific purposes (e.g., research, treatment prediction) and expanding beyond purely biological explanations to include psychological, social, cultural, and existential factors. He also suggests concrete steps to move forward that reduce culture-war polarization.
