A new article in Psychiatric News exploring how a neglect of psychosocial factors in the patient’s treatment can inadvertently foster psychiatric chronification. The dynamics I explore here are a huge source of suffering for patients and doctors alike. https://lnkd.in/ehZu5wnc
Very insightful and directly applicable, seems we may be especially prone to this with shorter med management apptments where pressure to “fix” is greatest, or when working with a strong narcissistic structure with irritability/prone to dissatisfaction.
Your thoughts on treatment resistance to medication and ambivalence about psychoanalytic treatment that plays out around medication is very helpful. Thank you
Insightful
Very interesting
Really great piece, Dr. Mintz. Kudos!
