Am I the a**hole for refusing to wake my boyfriend up in the morning? (with Dr. Jennifer Service)

This weekly podcast comes to you from Veritas Psychology Partners, Dr. Dan Kessler and Dr. Gayle MacBride. Your host selects a conversation from the internet forums that neither psychology has heard or read before, and they give their unrehearsed, unvarnished opinions--essentially answering the question, "just who is the asshole here?" The host brings in feedback from internet commentors to round out the discussion, and we close out each episode with a bonus conversation about what ever happens to be on their mind. Sometimes something from their mailbag.

Today, they are joined by Dr. Jennifer Service, who is board certified in psychiatry and neurology and has a subspecialty board certification in forensic psychiatry. She has more than twenty-five years of experience caring for adult psychiatric patients and completing civil and criminal forensic psychiatric assessments. Dr. Service graduated from the University of Minnesota's Medical School and completed an internal medicine internship at Salem Hospital in Salem, Massachusetts. She completed a psychiatry residency at the Massachusetts General Hospital and a Forensic Psychiatry Fellowship at the Harvard Law and Psychiatry Service. For the past thirteen years, Dr. Service has been providing outpatient psychiatric care in person and via telehealth for a large nonprofit health system. She has provided consultation to various law firms in the Twin Cities, completed civil and criminal forensic psychiatric assessments, and has testified in both civil and criminal matters.
