Barry Michels and Phil Stutz are two of the busiest shrinks in Hollywood -- with some very big-name clients. Their unconventional techniques were the subject of a recent New Yorker magazine article by Dana Goodyear. We talk about those techniques and the particular problems that plague actors, versus writers versus agents. Plus, we hear from a couple of their former clients, TV writer-producers Howard Gordon and Molly Newman.
