| 3/20/25 | Functional Neurological Disorder, Predictive Processing and Active Inference | Functional Neurological Disorder was previously called Conversion Disorder or psychogenic neurological symptoms and is a condition in which a patient develops any number of neurological symptoms (such as loss of ability to move or seizure like episodes or inability to feel parts of their body or phantom pain) that cannot be explained by a clear lesion in the nervous system. It was called conversion disorder because it was previously thought that repressed emotions or desires had been co... | 24m 37s | ||||||
| 3/10/25 | Behaviorism Part 1 - Classical Conditioning | Dr. O'Leary introduces PsyDactic - Child and Adolescent Board Study edition by sharing the first of two episodes on behaviorism, that field of psychology that took the radical stance of completely ignoring the fact that we have a mind.

| 1/31/25 | An extraordinary perspective on Suicide Risk Assessments from Dr. Tyler Black via Psychiatry Boot Camp | "People are 14 times more likely to die during a hospital stay than outside of hospital for inpatient psychiatry." In the last episode, I shared an episode of Psychiatry Boot Camp, which is a podcast created by Dr. Mark Mullen to help medical students and junior residents hone their psychiatric skills. Mark interviews some of the most competent and amazing psychiatrists our country has to offer. I am excited that Mark let me share his interview with Dr. Tyler Black, who talk... | 1h 47m 05s | ||||||
| 1/9/25 | Dr. Mark Mullen interviews Dr. Awais Aftab and Dr. Allen Frances on Psychiatry Boot Camp | In the last episode, Dr. O'Leary interviewed the creator and host of the Psychiatry Bootcamp Podcast, Dr. Mark Mullen, who is currently a psychiatry clerkship director at St. Louis University School of Medicine. He created this podcast after discovering a dearth of resources available for medical students and junior psychiatry residents to prepare them for their transition to practice. He graciously allowed PsyDactic to include a couple of his episodes in this feed as a way to spr... | 1h 09m 24s | ||||||
| 1/9/25 |  Meet the Psychiatry Bootcamp Podcast brought to you by Dr. Mark Mullen | Dr. O'Leary is excited to introduce you to Psychiatry Boot Camp (PBC), a podcast created by Dr. Mark Mullen during his psychiatry residency to help prepare medical students for psychiatry residency. It covers fundamental topics in psychiatry and inspires young psychiatrists to think critically about their approach to the field. The curriculum is based on published literature on psychiatry crash courses and boot camps, and features interviews with experts in the field. Some specif... | 26m 56s | ||||||
| 12/27/24 | In a Word - Agonist | --In today's episode, Dr. O'Leary explores agonists, inverse agonists, partial agonists, and antagonists. These terms describe how molecules bind to receptors and either increase, decrease, or prevent changes in receptor signaling. Agonists increase receptor activity, with full agonists like dopamine and serotonin raising activity to its maximum. Partial agonists can increase activity in the absence of full agonists but decrease it in their presence. Inverse agonists reduce the baseline activ... | 24m 01s | ||||||
| 8/18/24 | In a Word - Transference (with a dash of neuroscience) | --Dr. O'Leary discusses the term Transference, and if you listen until the end, he relates it to some computational neuroscience. Transference is a historically loaded term. Transference is supposed to be an unconscious process, so it can not really be observed, only inferred, so this means that both the definition of transference and any instance of it in psychotherapy is dependent upon the therapist’s model and their particular way of interpreting that model. But what exa... | 30m 10s | ||||||
| 8/11/24 | Catatonia in Autism and Neuroatypical Patients - Easy to miss, Harder to Treat | -- More recently I have faced the diagnostic conundrum of catatonia in autism, and that is what I want to explore in more excruciating detail today. There is surprisingly little literature on the subject, and that is concerning because being able to identify and treat catatonia can be life-saving, not to mention life-altering for patients and their caretakers. Misidentifying catatonia as mere aggression or highly limited interests in autism can result in exactly the wrong m... | 35m 54s | ||||||
| 7/23/24 | Mindhunting with Forensic Psychiatrist Dr Michael Schirripa | -- Dr. O’Leary interviews forensic psychiatrist and author Dr. Michael Schirripa about his career as a forensic psychiatrist, the release of his first thriller, Mindhunt, and his podcast Mindhunting. Dr. Shirripa explores how his love of literature influenced his decision to pursue forensic psychiatry and ultimately resulted in his creation of an international thriller with an ambitious forensic psychiatrist as the main character. We explore topics like medical ethics... | 56m 11s | ||||||
| 7/12/24 | Psychedelics - A skeptical approach to MDMA aka Ecstasy | - - In the world of psychotropic medication, the question is not just whether it works or not, but whether it works better than a placebo and whether the effect size is clinically significant and the benefits outweigh the risks. In the case of MDMA (aka molly or ecstasy), the effect size for improving post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms reported by researchers has been very large. Often it is found to be two to three times higher than is often found for serotonin reuptake inhi... | 31m 46s | ||||||
| 7/1/24 | The Narrative Fallacy in Psychological and Psychiatric Clinical Practice with Dr. Alexey Tolchinsky, PsyD | The Narrative Fallacy describes our tendency to find meaning, connections, and causal relationships where they do not necessarily exist. In this episode, Dr. O'Leary had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Alexey Tolchinsky. He recently published a paper called “Narrative fallacy and other limitations of psychodynamic case formulation.” Dr. Tolchenski did not invent the idea of the Narrative Fallacy, but he is working to apply this idea to his own clinical practice. We could all be... | 55m 14s | ||||||
