Gary Small on Psychiatry, Media and Culture

ScriptPhD Podcast

Dr. Gary Small, a world-renowned professor of psychiatry and neurodegenerative aging diseases, joined the ScriptPhD.com podcast to discuss his breakout book "The Naked Lady That Stood on Her Head." We discuss how media and on-screen portrayal of psychiatrists contribute to people’s perceptions of the field, how the themes of empathy and humanity are indellibly woven into case studies, the challenges and fullfillment of psychiatry and the contribution of pop culture in modern psychoses.
