2025 Virtual Series:
Tell Me More: Modern Approaches to Psychotherapy
About this Series:
All psychiatrists receive training in supportive, psychodynamic, and cognitive behavioral therapies during their residencies and fellowships. As with medications, though, the evidence base grows and changes with time. The “dosing” of therapy may change, and new modalities are developed to best treat specific conditions or concerns.
Join us for this year’s IPS virtual series as we learn about modern evidence-based psychotherapeutic modalities from the experts. This series will include information on exposure and response prevention, habit reversal therapy, trauma-informed care, cognitively-based compassion therapy, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, and cognitive processing therapy. Learn about the overall structure of these therapies and their application for various psychiatric conditions. We hope you will join us as our presenters “tell us more!”
This is a 4-part series with sessions falling on the second Thursday of the month between January and April 2025. (01/09, 02/13, 03/13, 04/10) Sessions will run from 6:30-7:30 p.m.
