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.

Brian is still doing well to this day and is quite happy and productive, which is good news to his many fans.

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.

[@gerrydooley951]

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.

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.

[@richardt1792]

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.

[@evanwright9016]

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.

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!

Excellent 👍 I remember the thread where someone asked the good doctor to look into Brian Wilson. I see people are asking about Dennis Wilson...I think the Wilson father would be more interesting...a real abusive guy

[@johnnyperez1969]

Their dad was a punk!!

[@MichelleCWeber]

I can just think how the relationship with Brian was similar to the relationship Dennis had with Manson. Codependency is strOng in this family.

God Only Knows how this guy got a license to practice therapy in the first place.

I caught the line "Wouldn't it be Nice" ... hahahaaaaa! 🤣

[@dungeon-wn4gw]

Heck yeah, thanks for (probably) listening to my suggestion and covering this!

[@LevelEarthWD]

Dr Grande, you know I love your channel and all but I have to say you shouldn't wear that shirt with that brick wall behind you. The colors are very similar and you're a floating head kind of. Just looking out. 🙂

[@annal7364]

He gives "talking head" a literal meaning! 😂

Episode Suggestion. Marilyn Manson. He’s got a current story that came out this week in The Rolling Stone. His substance abuse and so-called “bad girl cages” he places his girlfriends in is just psychotic. So I request this analyzation. It can never be as good as today’s episode, but it will blow everyone’s mind. Thank you Dr Grande. Your the best at what you do, bar none.

[@eadweard.]

Did anyone really agree to date MM and not expect to be put in a cage now and again?

[@LDiamondz]

He did one on MM already. Quite a while back.

[@keithbrunson7190]

@@LDiamondz no kissing? I have a missed an episode in a very long time. And I have not seen it. Thank you for telling me about it.

Hi!

[@Zimbardhoe]

Hey Dr. Grande, I love your work! I have found your personality disorder videos extremely helpful since I am studying clinical psychology. Can you analyze the case of David Reimer? I feel this would be an interesting analysis due to the nature of the story. Thanks!

[@MRVISTA-wz7vj]

Dr Grande, have you ever considered seeing people professionally over zoom?

[@madelinehoyle1059]

"Wouldn't it be nice if Gene was out of the picture?" Is this another Beach Boys reference? lol

[@kimberlykv4313]

You have some impressive work ethic, Dr. Grande. You go with your bad self.

[@yusefendure]

Narcissism, avarice, and power. Thank you for another poignant video. It's great to know that even mental health professionals are not spared these kinds of critiques. As you mentioned in earlier videos, therapists can be helpful or harmful.

[@bthomson]

Also not obeying boundaries!

[@janmclain6301]

As always, thank you Dr. Grande! As a survivor of therapist abuse, I could not agree with you more, sir! On the upside, I now know how to help others who might still be victims.
