Identity has to do with such questions as "Who am I?"; "What are my limits?"; "What is my purpose?" Clarifying the deep structure of our identity allows us to express ourselves even more fully at the level of our behavioral surface structure. It involves: Finding and clarifying our life's direction; managing boundaries between self and others; becoming clear about beliefs that support our identity and those which limit us; expanding our sense of self, and incorporating new dimensions of being.
EP05 Workshop 31 - Behavioral Health as Primary Care: Psychotherapy's Future as a Primary Care Profession - Nicholas Cummings, Ph.D. Co-faculty: William O'Donohue, Ph.D.
Several large health systems are now co-locating behavioral care providers (BCPs, Primarily psychologists and social workers) in the primary care setting, side-by-side with primary care physicians (PCPs). Research has already shown when a PCP can walk the patient down the hall to the BCP's office, 90% of patients engage in treatment as opposed to only 10% of referrals today. This presages opportunities for psychotherapists who wish to participate, and this workshop will address how to anticipate, prepare and avoid the pitfalls of a new integrated behavioral/primary care delivery system.
