I work with the intellectually disabled at a non-profit living facility. I'm in more of a peer support position rather than a case manager. A case manager is supposed to be responsible and helping the clients with their money and all this stuff..... But we've had a few that did not have their life together like worse than the clients except the only difference was that they didn't have an intellectual disability. We had one guy stealing from all his clients. And I guess he didn't realize that we do audits on all our clients accounts.... Such a moron. And then this other lady had her kids taken away from her and her house condemned because she was living in such filth and squalor but she would come and be a case manager for people you know?

Thank you for covering this important case. Brian Wilson is indeed a musical genius and was horribly manipulated by this bad actor. Fortunately, his family was willing to fight to free him from Landy’s suffocating grasp and get him legitimate mental healthcare. Brian is still doing well to this day and is quite happy and productive, which is good news to his many fans.

It's a bit of poetic justice that after Landy wrote himself into Brian's will, I guess thinking he would die young due to his health issues and previous drug abuse, Brian ended up outliving him.

As a major fan of Brian and the Beach Boys since 1969, and I mean obsessed, this is a very sad although interesting chapter in the Brian Wilson saga. The positive aspect of Landy's treatment was getting Brian into shape: losing a lot of weight and getting off all dangerous substances. The worst was doping Brian up so much that Brian couldn't think straight. The tragedy was that Brian is a beautiful and kind soul and has never really been the same since his association with Landy. However Brian is a very strong person and has never given up. He continues to tour and record and is still Brian Wilson.

Jeff Lynne, another rock legend, once talked about the time when he produced a song (Let it shine) for Brian‘s 1988 solo album. He said that Brian was very nice, but the working conditions were so bad that it was an experience which Lynne wouldn‘t have wanted to repeat. As I later read the books about Brian‘s life, including his autobiographies (the first one having been practically written by Landy himself, as Brian has admitted he hadn‘t even read the final draft) and seen the docs, it became clear that Lynne had talked about the 24/7 control by Landy and his team. Yes, Landy did save Brian‘s life in 1983, as he was on the verge of killing himself, but then he took total control over Brian‘s life, as we all know. Or as Mike Love said, Brian „became the goose that laid golden eggs“. A prime example of a therapist who went way too far and eventually had paid the price.

I am a clinical psychologist in Southern California. Like many psychologists and psychiatrists, we have some celebrity patients. Maintaining boundaries is essential will all patients and celebrities are no different. Confidentiality must be maintained. In the mental health community, it was common knowledge that Landy was exploiting Brian. It was distressing that it took so long for the board of psychology to revoke his license. Generally, the California Board is quite aggressive with their enforcement.

It's too bad narcissists rarely seek therapy. They also don't tend to benefit much from it if they get into it, cause they think they know more than the therapist and can explain everything away with "he/she was a bad therapist." The principle of autonomy means anyone can nope out of therapy that isn't court ordered. Being held involuntarily as a danger to self/others rarely involves much in the way of therapy.

Yeah being part of a multisuccessful band. If he'd decided to drop out of the spotlight and recover in silence (which was probably for the better) but he was never that headstrong, even in his most creative period, his decisions were ultimately driven by the desires/needs of the band, hence no 'SMiLE' in '66-'67. I'm ASD and it's easy to relate to the feeling of being weighed down by what you've been struggling with while your strengths (seemingly few but extremely prodigious, almost obsessive) are at a means of exploitation. He wanted others' approval badly so that it would be easier to ignore or slag off everyday criticism, both internally and no doubt externally. At that point in the 80s people were convinced he was incapable of making hits. He was always an eccentric and difficult to conversate with even though he was 1 of if not the most candid, empathetic, and forgiving in his level of the music business of that era. He entered his 40s and like every popular musician aging into their third decade of recording, he made meandering yacht rock garbage with the ugly, dated production tricks of its time. No one bothered a Steve Winwood or an Aretha Franklin for toning down their image in the 80s. I think it's partly due to the ableist slant most in the biz had to manipulate Brian. Imagine being told constantly that your genius was allegedly taken away from you. And that drugs essentially "omit genius" when it's really due to your unsupportive, parasocial family and the wishes of industry execs who have the luck of not having the lineage of mental illness in their bloodline. I'd possibly overmedicate too if I were in Brian's shoes. Even when just experiencing it secondhand, having to console someone having a schizophrenic episode, from what they're describing *isn't* pretty.

He was working a private event where I was and I actually thought he was going to die. He sat down too quickly and a microphone stand fell on his head. It was actually the weight portion that keeps it balanced. He was fine and everything was OK. I later went up to him and thanked him for making the greatest car songs of all time. He said you’re welcome and that’s all I said to him. It was the best minute of my life

Merry Christmas everyone. I know Brian Wilson, he was my neighbor. I can't believe my luck that you, Dr Grande are looking at this case now. My name is Michael Hughes and I was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland in January 1973. Shortly after, my family moved to the town of Portmarnock, a seaside town, north of Dublin. An enclave for the rich. We just considered it home. On our weekend trips to the ice cream store in Malahide my father would point out.... That's were the beach boy lives. This is around 1977 to 1979. Interestingly enough, we emigrated to Toronto, Canada in 1981 were I grew up listening to a band, the Barenaked Ladies who had a hit song, Brian Wilson. A song about how Brian lay in bed, suffering from mental illness after being a huge star. Well, now you know where he spent some of that time. Crazy!

Brian wasn’t just a member of The Beach Boys. He wrote and composed essentially all the songs to where others in the band had to deal with negative feelings around that including jealousy and resentment. This was made worse by his disease.

Dr Grande, great video as usual. Could talk about some great examples where people overcame their own fears, depression or other psychological issues and became healthy? Is it even possible that such people exist?

This guy sounds like he wanted to BE Brian Wilson. Or at least control him enough so he could live his lifestyle. Psychologists shouldn't have much outside contact with their patients. If there's a emergency, yes. Otherwise, no. But, it's famous people, so anything goes. I could see this situation happening again. Sad. I was hoping you'd do this one. It was great! Thanks. ☺

@@matissetrixie7796 I agree. He really needed help, and he just got abused by this so called psychologist. If he had a good therapist, he might have gotten so much better and so much quicker. It's very sad for Brian.

There was one thing in this video I wanted to correct because of something dr grande omitted when talking about scizoaffective disorder. He says that it is like a combination of schizophrenia and bi polar however that is not always the case because there are 2 types of scizoaffective disorder. The one you described is scizoaffective bi polar class but there is also a depression class which is the one I have. In my case instead of bipolar it is extreme depression it is combined with.

Brian Wilson was in bad shape in the late 1960's-1970's but he did get better and survive unlike many musicians of his era. Did Landy cure Brian Wilson? Obviously Landy was not a good guy but today Brian Wilson is alive and doing okay so it is possible he saved his life.

Brian released one of his best albums in 1988. I think Landy was helpful though he probably took some financial advantages.

@tod3msn Жыл бұрын

Dr Landy started off with the best of intentions which was to treat his client but became seduced by fame and fortune and transformed into a dark force in Brian Wilson’s life resulting in his eventual sacking as Brian’s therapist and professional chaos. What is sad is that had Dr Landy not stayed at the fair too long and left after getting Brian better he would have been hailed as a success but instead he got involved in Brian’s professional life and that was his downfall. Sadly, Dr Landy did help Brian and his faults now overshadow his help to Brian which is unfortunate.

This was great. I miss seeing this level of in-depth analysis on psychology conditions and motives. I was thinking to myself the other day maybe it's hard to do with the speed you produce content or maybe people aren't as interested. The vignettes you used to discuss and the way you clarified personality types that are often sensationalized was a true contribution to public health. It really can be a spring board to others.

KoreaMojo: Dr. Grande unfortunately appears to have abandoned his earlier goal of educating ppl on various mental health topics in favour of pursuing True Crime events which are more popular w/ the masses. If he can boost his subscriptions to 1M it will greatly enhance his monthly income from YT. Writing books and churning out daily YT videos have obviously replaced his private practice, leaving no time for teaching or mentoring others as he did formerly. He has discovered a quicker, easier path to fame and fortune via the Internet just as so many others who have gone before him.
