Columbo took down a number of psychiatric overachievers, who reliably managed to ratchet up the “condescending” while patiently explaining stuff to the guy who couldn’t possibly pin anything on – oh, crap.
I second Judd Hirsh in “Ordinary People”.
One of my favorites, though, is Alan Arkin in “Grosse Pointe Blank” (of course I like Alan Arkin in pretty much anything)
Kind of a “self analysis” and with a bit all-too-convenient wrap-up is Albert Brooks in “Mother” (again, I like Albert Brooks in pretty much everything as well 
Especially that tiny smirk he got when he realized that one guy was faking his psychosis.
I liked him, too. However, I also really like Hector Elizondo as the replacement shrink.
Jeff Bridges in K-Pax, though I think everything was solved a little too neatly.
Sidney Poitier as a prison shrink treating bobby Darin in Pressure Point. Made during the era of juvenile deliquent exploitation films, it had a scene where Darin and his buddies cover the entire interior of a bar, including the bartender’s naked wife, with tic tac toe.
In one of the Pink Panther movies, Chief Inspector Drefus is on the couch recounting in agony his ordeal with Clouseau, and the camera pans over to the psychiatrist, who’s curled up in his chair in horified revulsion.
Richard Basehart saw a shrink briefly as Hitler, but decided it was nonsense. Hitler had been briefly analyzed IRL, some of which may have made it into the novel The Eyewitness by Ernst Weiss, who committed suicide in Paris as the Germans invaded so as not to face some very tough literary critics.
I found it difficult to explain to my kids why the doctor might be irritated, and why I would not want my patients coming home for dinner with us. That pesky idea of “professional boundaries” just doesn’t come across well to a 10 year old. :smack:
