Dr. Anthony Tobia spoke with HuffPost Live's Josh Zepps last week about how he incorporates episodes of "Seinfeld" into his courses at Rutgers University, an activity he calls "Psy-feld." Tobia reported that using the iconic sitcom in class has engaged his students in a new way, and it's prompted many serious discussions about pathology.
