4th Annual Residents' Conference on Working with Complex, Difficult-to-Treat Patients

April 28, 2023 to April 29, 2023

This conference, designed for advanced psychiatric residents (PGY3, PGY4, and Fellows), is intended to enhance participants’ capacities to work effectively with difficult-to-treat patients through the integration of psychodynamically-informed and patient-centered perspectives into diverse aspects of the patient’s care. 
The knowledge, skills, and attitudes of psychodynamic psychiatry are not only useful in the psychotherapy of patients, but also foster leadership skills for addressing systems enactments in relation to challenging patients, and can markedly enhance effectiveness of pharmacotherapy. 

Learning Objectives

1) Describe how biomedical reductionist approaches unhelpfully restrict our ways of understanding and addressing patients; 

2) Identify ways that the meaning of medications may harm patients and contribute to the problem of health inequity; 

3) Describe how pharmacologic treatment effects are profoundly shaped by a wide range of psychological and social factors; 

4) Implement a model treatment that addresses the meaning of medications and enhances the prescriber-patient alliance in ways that support the patient’s authority; 

5) Anticipate and address issues in the system and interprofessional team in relation to an integrated approach to pharmacotherapy; 

6) Psychotherapeutically explore the meanings of medications in ways that benefit the patient and support interprofessional collaboration.
