give him a nic-name like Dr. Boss-man or something. When he begins analyzing others look at the person that he is analyzing and ask…"and how does that make you feel?" Once enough of you in the office do this enough, he’ll get the message that no one wants his unsolicited advice!
Tell HR that he makes you uncomfortable in the workplace.
You already don’t respect him. Just look at him as comic relief. Ignore him as much as you can. And you know if you don’t give him ammunition he’ll have nothing to gossip about.

my friend Carmen does that. She’s been in therapy for so long that she can never talk to you without saying things like "we all have choices," or "you thrive on chaos!" Sometimes when I call her I’ll say: "I’d like to speak to FRIEND Carmen, not THERAPIST Carmen!" Why don’t you buy him a card for his birthday that has a therapist on it. Then jokingly give him theme gifts that a therapist would have…bifocals, a nice pen and pad…and a doll house leather sofa!
