Forward2023 Fall Conference Part 2: Meaning and Medication (Recorded)
Part 2 of a 4-part series featuring recordings from the Erikson Institute of the Austen Riggs Center's 2023 Virtual Fall Conference: Losing Our Mind and Finding It: Re-Integrating Meaning in a Neurobiologically-Focused Era
A Conference for Psychiatric Care Providers, Psychotherapists, and Social Scientists
Despite our burgeoning neuroscientific knowledge, psychiatric outcomes are not significantly better than they were three decades ago. After decades of hopeful enthusiasm, the limits of a biomedically-reductionist approach to problems of mental health are increasingly clear. A renewed interest in integrating biomedical and psychosocial perspectives to optimize mental health outcomes is gaining momentum, whether in a focus on patient-centeredness, the development of collaborative care models, increasing attention to the social determinants of mental health, or efforts to re-integrate psychodynamic with medical approaches.
