IC07 Short Course 34 - Holistic Solutions in Therapy: Effectively Integrating Psychopharmacology and Brief Ericksonian Approaches - David Barnum, PhD and Mary Lu Egidy, ARNP, CS

Description:

Genuine integration of highly skilled psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy has, for some, become a lost art. However, careful use of both can be highly effective for clients. Using a model we have developed over 10 years of collaboration on complex child, family and adult cases, we demonstrate how Ericksonian therapies and biological treatments can be skillfully integrated to improve outcomes for our clients. Case examples will bring the core elements of our model to life.

Educational Objectives:

1. To name the core elements of a model for integrating biological and psychological approaches to brief treatment.
2. To identify five steps for actively incorporating skillful therapy and biological treatment while maintaining clear professional boundaries.
