"Psychiatry professor uses quirky ‘Seinfeld’ characters as a teaching tool" Associated Press January 03, 2015
NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. — ‘‘Seinfeld’’ may have been a show about nothing, but a psychiatry professor is using it for much more than that.
Medical students at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School are learning about psychiatric disorders through Dr. Anthony Tobia’s ‘‘Psy-feld’’ teaching tool, NJ.com reports.
Tobia has created a database of teaching points from the show’s episodes. Third- and fourth-year medical students are assigned to watch two episodes a week and then gather to discuss the psychopathology demonstrated on each.
‘‘You have a very diverse group of personality traits that are maladaptive on the individual level,’’ Tobia said. ‘‘When you get these friends together, the dynamic is such that it literally creates a plot: Jerry’s obsessive compulsive traits combined with Kramer’s schizoid traits, with Elaine’s inability to forge meaningful relationships and with George being egocentric.’’
His diagnosis of Newman? ‘‘Very sick.’’
The students gathered around a conference table on a recent day, analyzing an episode. Third-year student Marlene Wang said the exercise leads to having more relatable examples than a textbook.
‘‘In this way, it just gives you a more solid picture of the pathology rather than just giving you words,’’ Wang said.
And it's a lot easier to watch TV than read anything.
Tobia has also written an academic paper that analyzes five of Elaine’s boyfriends to explain delusional disorder.
You want to know what is delusional?

Yeah, that's it!
I used to like Seinfeld before I recognized it was nothing but a vehicle to mainline Jewish neuroticism and make it culturally acceptable.
UPDATE: Finally: Seinfeld Now Taught in Rutgers’ Psych Dept.
