My Problem with Dr Grande | By qualified PSYCHIATRIST
Рет қаралды 116,578
Күн бұрынDr Grande has a very popular KZfaq psychology channel, which recently got 1m subs. Impressive!
But is everything as it seems? Is there an issue with him misrepresenting his qualifications and expertise?
He has a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision but his videos have nothing to do with educating counsellors.
Doesn't calling his channel Dr Grande and clinically diagnosing mental health issues very strongly suggest that he is a licensed Psychologist / Psychiatrist?
Am I being reasonable or petty?
What about other professionals and KZfaqrs that have been calling him out?

They way he talks suggests he is diagnosing. I saw one of his videos. He didn’t say things like “this may be a symptom of,” or “this suggests that perhaps…” He rather spoke as if he knew they were properly given a diagnosis by a professional. He described the behavior of Meghan Merkel and Harry as being “communal narcissists” and many people in the comments were like “oh yeah, they are narcissists!” So it reflects in his audience

A licence can be highly overrated, I met my first psychiatrist years ago, in my late 20s after my son was diagnosed with adhd and (in Tasmania) Australia and from everything I learned I knew I had it to, I went to him for help, I think he looked at me once, then at the end of the hour he opened the door for me while I was still talking, it was horrible. I didn't get diagnosed until I was 49 😮💨 and he was the first in a long line of "licenced" professionals who never helped me at all.

I wouldn't say he is misrepresenting himself in any fraudulent legal sense, as he has a PhD so can accurately use Dr, and always says, 'just a reminder, I'm not attempting to diagnose anyone in this video, only describing what could be going on in a situation like this', (though I suppose that could be interpreted as implying he does have the power to diagnose in other situations), nor make any other claims about the things you mention such as being able to section people or prescribe medication. Perhaps the issue is it looks like his channel started out as more niche, dare I say dry, resource for discussing of ideas in his field, with his professional peers as the main audience, so it would be unnecessary to spell out the differences between counsellors, psychologists, psychiatrists etc., or that his analysis is just his opinion - a somewhat professionally informed one yet without any specific authority. But now he is so popular and prolific, his audience includes many people who don't understand those distinctions, or how much weight his opinion carries. Maybe he also feels the need to play up his sardonic humour which seems to be part of his appeal to many, hence some misjudged jokes. Just a reminder I'm not attempting to diagnose Dr Grande in this comment, only speculating what could be going on in a situation like this.

saying "I am not diagnosing anything right now" is not the same as saying "I am not qualified to make a diagnosis or to professionally assess this information that I am discussing now". if you say "this is not a diagnosis", people could assume stuff like, yeah, sure, he never actually met the person, so he could not possibly make a diagnosis. but if he did meet the person, he could. which is not the case...

In the medical field professionals with PhDs don’t call themselves dr because it’s confusing for patients and is seen as borderline unethical. Doctor in medical contexts has a very different meaning to a doctor of a different field. It’s also common practice when discussing medical or academic topics in the public domain as a professional to still discuss topics as if non professionals will view it. Also the beginning of his channel looks very much like videos for students not peers or professionals.

Grande is also a huge Trump fan, with his video showing a clear political bias. That may or may not be a “bad” thing, but Grande should at least acknowledge this bias and not act as a neutral observer in his videos covering political figures. Grande’s video on Biden’s cognitive decline was factually inaccurate, like saying that Biden thinking that “Good Morning Vietnam” was a song, not a movie, was a dementia symptom when the most famous image for the movie is a man in headphones emoting into a recording studio microphone. And now Trump has a shocking amount of actual dementia-sequel cognitive slips and has made no similar video on Trump that I have seen.

Licensed clinical psychologist and professor here. I disagree with this assessment. With the license at the masters that he has, he is more than qualified to comment on psychopathology and in the manner that he does. Likewise, his PhD in counselor education overlaps substantially with counseling or clinical psychology, in terms of training and knowledge. Calling himself a doctor is common and typical for people who have earned a PhD ( as I have!), as much as the MD's like to prefer that we don't! As a matter of fact, as someone who trains psychologist, I have been impressed by the level of accuracy and how he represents his opinion in a way that is completely consistent with the standards in the field, especially the ethical standards in terms of how he qualifies his opinion and conclusions.

I agree that he has some excellent knowledge, but let me ask you this: are you clear about your qualifications always? He rarely, if ever, mentions them in his videos, and I know. This IS misleading and I think you’re missing the point. And he’s not qualified to diagnose, so at least inform your viewers you’re not… even if you’re claiming to speculate! That’s just integrity. Also, if you truly haven’t noticed his mocking and shaming of victims, that says something about you, especially with your qualifications. It’s so critical and upsetting to survivors. The sarcasm, especially in videos that involve murdered children, is TOO much!

@@md28stads “Abundantly clear.” “Overly clear.” Lol. Excessive, but alright, Grande lover!! You obviously didn’t read what I wrote or just don’t care. Stating that you aren’t diagnosing is meaningless if you’re doing so anyway. He only does this in an attempt to protect himself. Do you think this makes it okay? He still doesn’t have the credentials to suspect individuals have personality disorders, etc. He should state his credentials in every video like other professionals with integrity on KZfaq too! Talk to any psychologist or psychiatrist about this. No need to defend him, especially if you’re unwilling to acknowledge my points. The biggest being that I don’t like sarcasm in videos about children being murdered. It’s twisted.

I don’t always agree with Dr. Grande and but it’s pretty clear what is his opinion and what is clinical. .One of the best “counselors” I went to was an MSW, and one of the absolute WORST ever was a psychiatrist. Compassion in this field is of the utmost importance.

I think Grande started out his channel as an extension of clinical education (his early content is a lot more in league with this) but found his niche doing pop psychology commentary with occasional dry gallows humor. I agree, though, that he presents himself in a way that suggests to his audience he is a psychologist.
@coldstoli1 Жыл бұрын
He is a psychologist. He has a degree in counseling. "A professional counselor is a provider who holds a master's in clinical psychology. In some states, they can do the same as a clinical psychologist can. In most states, they perform the same functions as the other master's-level clinicians. They will have the “Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor” title." Grande is a licensed clinical professional counselor. I am not an ardent fan of his but it's ridiculous to suggest he's not a psychologist because he focuses more on counseling than assessment. Most of what this video says about Grande's qualifications is due to the host being in the UK not the US.

Dr. Grande is misleading because he has no license in actual PSYCHOLOGY. His license and doctorate are in teaching-counseling. Not psychology! Also, Assessments are given by licenced PhDs, PsyD's, or an LCPC. Additionally, it's against Health Insurance Privacy Portability Act (HIPPA) to give out private patient assessments. Counselors only do bed side-sitting, bathing patients, and in hospital settings they provide light counseling under the supervision of a PhD, PsyD, or LCPC. #micdrop

They know the hallmark characteristics, they know the exact criteria, and they know the normal range of response to trauma and when it becomes a disorder.

Saying it’s popular to have PTSD comes off as ableist imo, it’s not as if the symptoms of PTSD are particularly nuanced, if you’re having nightmares, panic attacks, flashbacks, insomnia, mood swings, hyper vigilance etc, chances are you’re dealing with PTSD and not just for funzies.

He's indicated his disregard of Donald Trump, but has also suggested that Joe Biden is less than fully cognizant of HIS surroundings, too. But again, I'm not looking to pick a fight, simply asking which of Dr. G.'s videos suggests support for Dr. P.? You got a rough idea of the title or release date?

The five factor ocean model is used not just in psychology but throughout all of education, I’m getting my PhD in educational administration and leadership and we use OCEAN frequently. I think there is a misunderstanding and misconstruing of practitioner based and research based purpose and aims. Ocean is highly regarded and frequently used in research. It’s clear Grande is a researcher first and foremost. Nothing wrong with practitioners like the guy in this video but it’s a different way of approaching and conceptualizing the field.

Agreed he's got victim blaming tendencies and uses it to add "humor" in some of the videos which is painful and adds to the not seeking help problem. If you are a victim and relate to what's going on in that story and all you want is help so you watch a doctor on KZfaq who then says those comments.... That'll definitely diminish the fear of coming forward for help.... I could care less about his credentials, anyone who thinks it's funny to blame victims should NOT be working with or advising ANY victims. I've had a counselor like that in inpatient and needless to say it damaged my condition even more and I still fear the professional level gaslighting. It's a continuation of abuse and it's really gross that he points out these flaws in others but then does them himself as if he's clueless to what he's saying. I also think there's a distinct difference in his early videos vs after he started getting popular. He really amped up the jokes. In the beginning they were short dry and easy to miss if you weren't paying attention. Now though he's got this weird smirk going on all the time and his jokes have gotten more frequent, obvious, and tasteless. But hey as he himself says, narcissists don't usually realize they're narcissists.

I once new a woman in the UK who has a PhD in a humanities subject, but later in life got a clerical job in a psychiatric hospital. She had Dr on her nametag, door, emails... it's extremely misleading, and I can imagine concerned patients or their family asking this person for advice, which they are not qualified to give. Thankfully I think she was just kept in a office filing bits of paper and rarely, if ever, came in contact with anyone other than staff. I think we really need to consider referring to PhDs as _professor_ or something, which brings with it another set of baggage and will irk professors, but at least the general public would be able to fairly easily gauge the difference between a person with a PhD in engineering, and a person with a MD, while still maintaining a high level of gravitas. I mean, I don't know the first thing about quantum mechanics, but if I met a person called Professor X I'd assume they did, while I wouldn't think they knew how to set a broken wrist.

Just to correct you, a LPC in most of the US can and must place a diagnosis for insurance purposes (some states do not allow). Additionally, their professional information can be used for things like an IEP or IAP in school settings. To get a degree in Counselor Education and Supervision one must be license eligible (PLPC) or already licensed. This would mean they have at least 7 years of education (Bachelors and Master’s) and have completed the Doctorate, 3-5 years additional. That is a total of 10 years or about 240 credit hours and about or over 4,500 hours of clinical internship/practicum.

A psychiatrist is the one who can and should properly determine co-morbidity in not only disorders but medication management. If a disorder is not treated, medicated or diagnosed properly it can be drastic. Counselors focus are more on Behaviors and what drives mental health issues where as a psychiatrists focus is on the brain itself.

Off putting with the jokes in there as well just comes off condescending then you add in the people who are also biased in the comments that reinforce that behavior and I see some of his content slowly moving from analysis for education to commentating for entertainment .

As I think others have pointed out, the US qualification Licensed Professional Counselor does allow you to diagnose in many US states. Dr Grande introduces some balance and psychological background into discussions where journalists and politicians are flailing around. Some of the humour is ill judged, I would agree, but there is quite a lot of empathy too, especially in those cases where substance misuse has made bad situations worse. Regarding Dr Das, I don't think he should use the term 'psychoanalyse'. It would probably be best to reserve that word for the discipline that started with Freud and has its own qualifications and practices somewhat separate from Dr Das's own psychiatric expertise.

Great video, I like your style. I still do watch Todd Grande but I'm growing increasingly sceptical. For one thing, I agree that a lot of his "jokes" and jabs at people are uncalled-for. As an Australian, I found it galling that he spent a lot of his video about the Port Arthur shooter criticising the anti-gun laws that Australia introduced after the shooting!

I agree. I always thought he was odd but then started suspecting he was seemingly coming- off as politically correct in regard to certain issues. Like he made a mocking video about ' conspiracy theorists' regarding COVID and the jabs etc. I forget specifically but my feeling was either he was unresearched and uninformed about the issue and should have just shut- up, or he was looking for you tube brownie points when so many other excellent you tubers were being banned. There were other things I took issue with but don't specifically remember.

I started watching Grande because I was studying for my clinical license, and at the time, he had some great informative videos. Then he started giving these glib presentations that were judgmental and leaned more toward pop culture commentary than "educational." I'm so glad you brought up the Watts case as well. I had the exact same thought regarding the psycopathy "diagnosis." I've since unsubbed.

He makes it absolutely clear with every single video that he is not attempting to diagnose anyone only speculating on what could be happening. However, if he is not an actual Dr. he shouldn't be calling himself one. I knew his credentials but never paid much attention to Dr.

I agree. I unsubscribed from Dr Grande because I felt there was frequently an undercurrent of judgementalism in his presentations that I felt was unjustified and often unfair. Despite his claims, he presents his information and ideas in a biased manner. I broke with my intention to disregard his channel today to listen to his version of the Depp-Heard case currently underway, but came away thinking I had no reason to re-evaluate my decision to keep away. Additionally, his use of vocal monotone does not equate to objectivity, regardless of his claims.

@luluttt Жыл бұрын
Dr. Grande is misleading because he has no license in actual PSYCHOLOGY. His license and doctorate are in teaching-counseling. Not psychology! Also, Assessments are given by licenced PhDs, PsyD's, or an LCPC. Additionally, it's against Health Insurance Privacy Portability Act (HIPPA) to give out private patient assessments. Counselors only do bed side-sitting, bathing patients, and in hospital settings they provide light counseling under the supervision of a PhD, PsyD, or LCPC. #micdrop

If he acts as a supervisor for counselors he is licensed in psychology (here he may be an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor -) Counselors absolutely do diagnose and in some states they can prescribe. I have never bathed a therapy client in my life, idk where you get your job descriptions....

Well, being interested in these topics, I stumbled upon "Dr Grandes" youtube channel. He references his education and profession and never lists a doctor degree - so I assumed from begin with that "Dr Grande" is more a trademark than a proper educational reference. And this entire dispute is all about him being "Dr Grande" or a Dr. Grande. I never had the feeling that he presented himself as a doctor or an authority. It was very clear to me that he probably had a lot of his own practice on some topics and that other topics were probably taught rather superficially. And that's probably where this criticism stands or falls. In complete contrast to clinical psychiatrists whose training and status is always very important. As an amateur psychologist, the assertion that there is no envy is mentioned to me far too often. All the alarm bells are ringing for me...

I think it’s important to note that master’s level counselors (LPC, LMHC, etc.) are legally allowed to diagnose in many states here in the U.S. I do think it’s slightly misleading that his Ph.D. is in Counselor Education rather than Counseling Psychology or Clinical Psychology. However, I do appreciate that he at least mentioned it somewhere on his channel.

Thank you for this video. I used to be a big fan of his content. But then i started noticing inconsistencies and dishonesty on his part in his videos. The last straw for me was when he gave his opinion on Jordan Peterson's feud with the College of Psychologists. He came to the bafflingly incorrect conclusion that it's to "silence" him. Even though he acknowledges in his video that such an action can't possibly do that since Peterson doesn't practice anymore anyways. But it seems Mr Grande has become increasingly more interested in spouting off on his own opinions and less interested in actually analyzing anything in any meaningful scientific way. Even when that thing isn't even psychology adjacent. Now, knowing, too, that he misrepresents his credentials themselves, i'm very annoyed i ever gave him any credence at all. And seriously question a lot of the things i used to believe based on what he said. I won't be watching any grande anymore. And i'll probably start doubting anyone with 'dr' in their title unless i can vet their credentials against an actual regulatory body. Preferably one that Grande himself would be annoyed at existing at all. :P
