"Gilberg, 89, has treated enough people in Hollywood, and advised so many directors and actors on character psychology, that his likeness shows up in films the way people float through one another's dreams. The Nancy Meyers film "It's Complicated" briefly features a psychiatrist character with an Airedale terrier - a doppelganger of Belle, Gilberg's dog who sat in on sessions until her death in 2018, looking back and forth between doctor and patient like a Wimbledon spectator."
"Dr. Arnold Gilberg's sunny consultation room sits just off Wilshire Boulevard. Natural light spills onto a wooden floor, his houndstooth-upholstered armchair, the low-slung couch draped with a colorful Guatemalan blanket. The Beverly Hills psychiatrist has been seeing patients for more than 60 years, both in rooms like this and at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where he has been an attending physician since the 1960s."
Dr. Arnold Gilberg maintains a sunny consultation room near Wilshire Boulevard with natural light, wooden floors, a houndstooth armchair and a couch draped with a Guatemalan blanket. He has been an attending psychiatrist at Cedars‑Sinai since the 1960s and has maintained a private practice since 1965, treating patients for more than 60 years. He sees wildly famous celebrities and people with no fame, from those with limited means to wealthy clients. His presence and his dog Belle influenced film portrayals of psychiatrists. He promotes fresh food, sunshine, exercise and meditation as core health practices and has observed changing stigma around mental health.
