Phil Stutz

American psychiatrist who co-developed the Tools therapeutic framework with Barry Michels — a set of specific psychological exercises for overcoming resistance, pain, and self-limitation — and who became widely known through Jonah Hill's Netflix documentary Stutz.

Created practical, visual, memorable psychological tools — Part X (the negative force), the Life Force pyramid, the Tools — that give patients concrete exercises rather than insights, making therapy actionable in ways traditional psychotherapy often is not.
