His career has been marked by advocacy for evidence-based psychiatry and skepticism toward approaches lacking scientific rigor.
What’s really going on with gender—and how does it connect to wider cultural shifts? Psychotherapist Stella O’Malley, researcher Mia Hughes, and psychologist Bret Alderman explore how debates around gender, identity, psychology, and medicine open up bigger questions about culture, society, and mental health. With guests ranging from doctors and therapists to parents and detransitioners, they offer honest, thoughtful discussions—no jargon, no ideology.
