Presented by: Lisa Madsen, MD
This special presentation will focus on complex cases which have reached an impasse with little forward movement or even a regression on the part of the patient. What do you recommend when a patient is no longer progressing in weekly psychotherapy? What do you do when a patient needs more? Do you intensify the individual therapy, or do you reach out to the community to expand the treatment team? What intrapsychic and interpersonal factors inform your treatment recommendation in these cases? This presentation will explore these questions and more as we reflect on the decision-making process involved in treatment planning.
