In this course, we will review basics and updates on medications that are commonly used adjunctively with psychotherapy. We will also think together about the complexities that arise in mixed treatments, whether the clinical is the prescriber or is collaborating with a prescriber. For example, what does a patients’ experience of side effects tell you about their psychodynamics and their transference? Do prescribing and psychoanalytic psychotherapy mix? Can psychodynamics and phenomenology be integrated, or can we think of them concurrently? Is one more “important” than the other?

A brief overview of the state of psychopharmacology and non-medical adjunctive treatments will begin each class. This level of this review will be aimed at non-prescribers but we hope also helpful to prescribers. Then we invite case material from class participants to open discussion about both the nature of the somatic treatment and dynamic aspects that may arise. To this end, we encourage you to bring your cases, questions, and confusions.

Educational Objectives:  At the conclusion of this program participants will be able to:
1. Develop an expanded capacity for thinking about the meaning of medications in a psychoanalytic treatment;
2. Enhance their working knowledge of the state of medical treatments for depression, anxiety, trauma, and borderline psychopathology;
3. Enhance their working knowledge of the state of non-medical somatic treatments (light, diet, interventions that augment parasympathetic nervous system functioning) for depression, anxiety, trauma, and borderline psychopathology.
