  • Veracity

    Current podcast attempts to present material as factual when in actuality it is CLEARLY editorializing…. It even employs hackneyed techniques such as voice tone and soundtrack.

  • Concise and helpful

    I love listening to this podcast to stay on top of the latest treatments. Please consider doing an episode on generic drugs, how they may be affecting treatment, and practical recommendations. I’m reading the book “Bottle of Lies” by Katherine Eban and I would love to know Dr. Aiken’s take, which is always fair and balanced. Thanks Dr. Aiken and Ms. Kelli!

  • The Best Psychiatry Resource!

    Carlat has become my #1 go-to resource when it comes to evidence based psychiatry. In the podcast, they do a great job navigating medications, cultural issues as well as therapeutic interventions. If I were to recommend any resource, this would be the first.

  • Annoying script-reading

    Please stop reading the scripts. Spend some time getting to know what you’re going to say and make it more casual and easy to listen to. It’s painful to hear these stilted voices just reading text. I can’t do it. We are not babies—we are professionals.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Balancing Focus and Cardiovascular Risk with ADHD Treatment
Q: And consider avoiding doses beyond what's needed, especially if someone's doing okay at a moderate dose. You may find non-pharmacologic support helps reduce the need to escalate doses over time.
Feder agrees and explains that treatment should not excessively suppress a child's activity or interfere with learning and relationships. He highlights responsive caregiving, appropriate structure, and medication tailored to the patient's needs.
Balancing Focus and Cardiovascular Risk with ADHD Treatment
Q: So do you recommend to families to buy blood pressure and oximeter meters for them to track?
Feder recommends home blood pressure monitoring for adults and teens who will use a device, suggesting an American Heart Association-approved monitor and taking three readings to average. He notes that readings can fall after a person has sat and relaxed.
Treating Couples: Integrative Behavioral Couple Therapy — Balancing Acceptance and Change Andrew Christensen, PhD
Q: What is the IBCT conceptualization of distress, and what role does that play?
Christensen describes the DEEP formulation: differences between partners, emotional sensitivities, external circumstances, and patterns of interaction. Discussing these factors helps couples form a shared, less blame-focused understanding of their conflict and guides treatment.
Treating Couples: Integrative Behavioral Couple Therapy — Balancing Acceptance and Change Andrew Christensen, PhD
Q: So if you could speak a little bit to the general premise of couple therapy, and then specifically what is IBCT, and how does it conceptualize couple distress?
Christensen explains that conjoint therapy lets clinicians observe a couple's conflict as it happens in session. IBCT combines strategies that promote change with acceptance-focused strategies, helping partners understand each other and address distressing interaction patterns.
Jeffrey Epstein on the Couch: Part III
Q: What does mentalization-based treatment show in the study of antisocial personality disorder?
The study reported reduced aggression and better communication and understanding among participants who received mentalization-based therapy compared to treatment as usual.
