140. When Psychotherapy Creates Harm

In this episode, Dr. Roger McFillin and Dr. Brett Deacon examine the state of the mental health field and the potential harms of certain therapeutic practices. The conversation skillfully weaves insights from the film "Good Will Hunting" to explore multifaceted themes, including the limitations of the biomedical model in addressing human experiences, the nuanced role of boundaries and self-disclosure in relationships, and the broader cultural tendency to pathologize emotional expressions. They discuss the need for ethical, evidence-based care amid the field's splintered nature and our need to reframe happiness as living a meaningful life aligned with one's values, rather than just managing thoughts and feelings.

Brett Deacon, PhD serves as an Associate Professor and Program Convener for Clinical Psychology at the University of Melbourne, Australia. His academic journey includes obtaining a PhD in clinical psychology from Northern Illinois University, followed by a postdoctoral fellowship at the Mayo Clinic. Over the past 15 years, he has contributed to academia and dedicated five years to full-time private practice.
