60: Steven Hassan | Cults and Mind Control
Dr. Hassan is the world’s foremost expert on mind control and the psychology of cults and we have a fascinating conversation based on his seminal book, Combatting Cult Mind Control. We are all vulnerable to mind control because we are all vulnerable to the situational factors that make an individual vulnerable to mind control.

59: Patrick Hahn | ADHD and Medicalization of Childhood
In this conversation, Nick interviews Dr. Patrick Hahn--author of multiple books, including Obedience Pills--about the nature of an ADHD diagnosis, the way that the public has been misled about it, and the problems with the most common treatments for it. Nick boldly asserts that the way that ADHD diagnoses halt the search for an actual condition explaining inattentiveness and impulsivity, and the quick prescriptions of stimulant drugs for children is a crime against humanity that we will look back upon shamefully. ✨Want to support Psychology Is?
