Forward2023 Fall Conference Part 3: Psychodynamic Technique in Pharmacotherapy (Recorded)
Part 3 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
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.
