  • Encopresis episode

    Encopresis is not an act of defying behavior. If you really understood what it is, you would talk about how it is something a child cannot control. Like your breakdown of etymology, you completely missed the boat on that one. A child cannot feel or notice that stool is leaving their rectum and that is why this condition is chronic.

    This episode needs to be revised after your educate yourself on Dr. Hodges analysis of encopresis and constipation. The MOP book is a quick read you can become more ... more

  • Thank you!

    As an adjunct psychology professor teaching psychopathology for the first time I’d like to say, “thanks in advance for the material.”

    Side note: swallowing a wasp sounds like a nightmare, and you still did a podcast the next day. You sir are a legend.

  • Love listening

    I was on the road to becoming a psychologist for abnormal psychology(for criminals) until during a college class, social anxiety hit me at its worst and I have not been able to overcome it since I was 19 years old. I love relearning what I know with even more added knowledge to it! You are great with making it easy to understand!

  • Love this podcast

    Dr. Colby Taylor is an excellent lecturer who breaks topics down and makes the information relatable. Listening to this podcast is fun and educational. I especially loved the recent Conspiracy Theories episode, which offers a lecture on an extremely relevant topic. Looking at Conspiracy Theories through the lens of abnormal psychology showcases how these theories easily take off in our highly individualistic society. I like that this podcast covers typical Abnormal Psych 101 subjects in addition... more

  • YOU MUST LISTEN TO THIS!

    Dr. Taylor is knowledgeable, very in touch with our world today, and incredibly genuine. He shares informative content and keeps you on your toes with random life updates that put a smile on your face, which we could all use in 2020 (except for the running incident; that was unfortunate). I didn’t know his podcast was on Apple podcasts, but now I’m happy that the little cover art I drew on a random late night ended up here. This podcast is awesome! Side note: he’s a phenomenal professor, too :)
