In an enlightening conversation with Norm Goldman, editor of Bookpleasures.com, Dr. Carole Lieberman, a distinguished media psychiatrist, shares insights into her multifaceted career and her unique role in both analyzing and participating in media. Dr. Lieberman, known for her appearances on high-profile shows and her award-winning work in television, discusses her approach to psychiatry in the media landscape, her literary contributions, and her ongoing projects.
Norm Goldman: Dr. Lieberman, could you explain to our audience what a “Media Psychiatrist” entails?
Dr. Carole Lieberman: Absolutely, Norm. The term “Media Psychiatrist” encompasses my dual roles. Firstly, I analyze how media impacts our mental health and societal behaviors. Secondly, I participate in media as a host and guest, providing insights into various psychological issues. This unique blend allows me to reach a broad audience and address mental health topics directly.
Norm Goldman: You've also been a script consultant and behind-the-scenes expert. Can you elaborate on these roles?
Dr. Lieberman: My passion has always been to create media content that reflects psychological accuracy. I've collaborated with writers, producers, directors, and actors across TV, film, and theater as a script consultant. Notably, I spent a decade on the teams of The Young and the Restless and The Bold and the Beautiful, which led to three Emmy Awards. Additionally, I've produced and directed my own TV cable show, furthering my commitment to psychologically informed media.
Norm Goldman: Let’s talk about your book, Bad Boys: Why We Love Them, How to Live with Them and When to Leave Them. What’s the core message here?
Dr. Lieberman: Bad Boys is a guide aimed at helping individuals understand their romantic relationships better. It categorizes twelve types of "Bad Boys" and explores how early paternal relationships influence adult romantic choices. The book empowers readers to not fall victim to detrimental relationships and offers strategies for managing them effectively. This book was inspired by real-life experiences from my practice and personal insights, making it a deeply researched and relatable read.
Norm Goldman: How have you used the Internet to enhance your career?
Dr. Lieberman: The Internet has been instrumental. My website, although currently under renovation, serves as a vital touchpoint for people to learn about my work, especially after media appearances or while hosting my radio show on VoiceAmerica. It’s also a crucial tool for publishers and show bookers who wish to collaborate with me, providing them with immediate access to my professional background and expertise.
Norm Goldman: What new books are you working on?
Dr. Lieberman: I’m currently finalizing Dreams, Interrupted: The Psychological Survival Guide for Coping with Terrorism. It’s designed to help readers confront and manage their fears in today’s climate of global insecurity. Another project, Love Transplant: A High Risk Affair of the Heart, explores the complexities of love and relationships, while Murder By TV: A Descent Into Madness delves into the real story behind the Jenny Jones Talk Show Murder, where I served as a psychiatric expert witness.
Norm Goldman: Can you share some insights into your research methods and unique marketing strategies?
Dr. Lieberman: My research primarily stems from my extensive experience in psychiatry, though I diligently fact-check and update information to ensure accuracy. Marketing-wise, I look for unique angles and timely news hooks, aided by a creative personal publicist who helps distinguish my approach from more conventional methods.
Norm Goldman: Any final thoughts or teasers about what’s next for you?
Dr. Lieberman: I’m excited about the upcoming release of Dreams, Interrupted and believe it will make a significant impact. As for what’s next, I like to keep some surprises up my sleeve to keep things interesting!
