We knew this episode will take a turn for the weird because our guest is Brain Sharpless, a clinical psychologist with a special interest in strange psychological disorders.

We started off talking about Freud and we went all the way to the following topics:

- Do clinical psychologists really sit in armchairs smoking pipes?

- How can a person suffering from panic attacks get better in a couple of sessions?

- What's the evidence that psychotherapy works at all?

- What good news about human nature can we derive from the two World Wars?
