#910 Michael Alcee PhD on The Upside of OCD
Michael Alcee, PhD, is a clinical psychologist in Tarrytown, NY, and is a Mental Health Educator at the Manhattan School of Music. In his first book,Therapeutic Improvisation: How to Stop Winging It and Own It as a Therapist, Michael demonstrated how all clinicians are artists, reading the changes like well-versed jazz musicians, finding the poetic turns in their client’s stories like skilled writers, and reveling in the creative act that emerges in the humanistic encounter of psychotherapy. In his forthcoming book, The Upside of OCD, Michael takes on the field’s tilted view of OCD as merely a biological and behavioral condition. Instead, he claims that OCD is a misunderstood existential and empathic sensitivity that has served the life and work of notable OCD sufferers like climate activist Greta Thundberg, author John Green, record producer Jack Antonoff, biologist Charles Darwin, and innovator Nikola Tesla. Carrying on the relational work implied in Freud’s case of the Ratman, Michael believes that OCD arises as an intriguing interplay of nature and nurture, one that can only be fully healed through an integrative approach that embraces meaning and feeling in equal measure alongside thoughts and behavior. Michael has been a TEDx speaker and organizer and is a regular contributor at Psychology Today along with contributions to NPR, The Chicago Tribune, and The New York Times, among others.

#904 Dr. Alexey Tolchinsky on Narrative Fallacy in Clinical Diagnosis
Alexey Tolchinsky, Psy.D. is a clinical psychologist in private practice in Maryland. He specializes in trauma work and anxiety disorders. He works in psychotherapy with neurodiverse patients, including individuals with Asperger’s disorder, dyslexia, and other conditions. A part of his practice includes working with immigrants struggling with adaptation to living in the US. He integrates cultural competency in his work. He also works with young adults dealing with life transitions, such as adaptation to the first year of college, and mature adults struggling with existential dilemmas and adapting to major life changes, such as divorce or retirement.
Dr. Tolchinsky is a Clinical Fellow of the International Neuropscyhoanalysis Association. What this means is a mindful integration of contemporary neuroscience in psychodynamic psychotherapy. While these terms are a mouthful, he rarely uses technical jargon with his patients and speaks in human language. With that, his clinical work is informed by the theoretical models developed by leading psychotherapists and neuropsychologists. Dr. Tolchinsky’s peer-reviewed research papers are all targeted to improve the efficacy of psychotherapy with hard-to-treat conditions, including PTSD and OCD.
