Live Grand Rounds: Managing Depression in Older Adults
Psychiatric treatment has greatly increased in complexity in the past generation. This is due to more treatments being available, the higher complexity of some of these treatments, the aging of the population, and the increased use of multiple medications. As a result, psychiatrists must be able to manage this higher complexity. Dr. Lenze will describe new research that allows for an evidence-based way to manage complex patients with a focus on geriatric depression care.

Live Professional Workshop: Working with Personality Dynamics in Short-Term Settings
An extensive empirical literature attests that personality factors (in both therapist and patient) account for the lion’s share of variance in psychotherapy outcome. Personality variables also affect whether patients cooperate with medication regimens. Although medical centers, counseling services, and clinics lack the resources to do long-term individual treatment of patients with personality disorders, clinicians in these settings can increase their effectiveness in reaching more limited goals by taking patients’ personality patterns (whether pathological or not) into account. This workshop will be oriented toward helping front-line clinicians improve their effectiveness by orienting treatment toward the individual personalities of their patients.

Live Grand Rounds: Structural Racism and Mental Health: Challenges and Opportunities
Structural racism is the main driver of mental health inequities and poor mental health outcomes, and yet, few understand the outsized role that structural racism plays in the identification, diagnosis, and management of mental illnesses and substance use disorders. This presentation will examine key concepts associated with structural racism, provide clear examples of how structural racism manifests in poor mental health outcomes, and discuss strategies for dismantling structural racism in our communities and institutions.

Live Grand Rounds: Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder-DMDD: Where Did It Come From and What Can We Do About It?
Disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD) is a condition defined by frequent explosive outbursts occurring within the context of chronic, pervasive irritability, beginning in early childhood. This lecture reviews how the condition evolved and speculates that although it originated ostensibly as a response to the overdiagnosis of bipolar disorder in children, and the overdiagnosis of bipolar disorder occurred because of the absence of a good diagnostic home for explosive outbursts. Evidence suggests depression and anxiety are outcomes of DMDD however that does not account for the outcome of the outbursts. I will also discuss briefly the relationship of other mood and behavior disorders to DMDD, assessment and treatment.

Live OCD & Anxiety Lecture Series: What Is Reasonable?: The Intersection of OCD and Food Allergy Anxiety
When someone with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) also has food allergies (or is a caregiver to someone with food allergies) the food allergies can become a focus for the OCD symptoms. In typical OCD treatment obsessions are often addressed with Exposure Response Prevention (ERP). ERP involves the person putting themselves in triggering situations so that they can practice tolerating the distress without the use of their compulsions. However, food allergy management requires a person to avoid their allergens in order to stay safe. This lecture will help clinicians understand the basics of both food allergy management and Exposure Response Prevention as well as how to modify ERP to accommodate OCD symptoms around food allergies in a safe and effective way. Participants will also learn more about the ways that these two conditions can interact so they can successfully support clients struggling with this particular manifestation of OCD symptoms.

Live Grand Rounds: Psychodynamic Formulation: An Expanded Approach
Formulation is essential to every treatment. Without a formulation, we are unable to make a diagnosis, collaboratively create a treatment plan, or engage in treatment. Yet formulation is not always taught, and, when it is, this teaching is not always clear. In this talk, Deborah Cabaniss will discuss the work that she and colleagues in the Psychodynamic Formulation Collective have done to operationalize psychodynamic formulation and to place the effects of culture and society on par with other psychodynamic models of the mind. Clinically relevant to all patient settings, this talk will be of interest to trainees and seasoned clinicians alike.

Live OCD & Anxiety Lecture Series: Is it All in My Head: Treating Health Anxiety
We all know we are going to die, but the when and the how are unknown. While many causes of death are due to preventable injury, the majority of death is caused by medical related factors such as cancer, stroke, heart disease, and Alzheimer’s to name a few. We often head to Dr. Google with our symptoms where we read that our headache can be caused by dehydration or possibly a brain tumor. Of course, we assume the worst. It is no wonder humans experience excessive health-related fears based on misperceptions of innocent bodily cues and sensations. Generally, we refer to these worries as Health Anxiety, however we are really talking about two different diagnoses: Illness Anxiety Disorder and Somatic Symptom Disorder. In this talk you will learn the difference between the two diagnoses and how to treat them using effective techniques.

Live OCD & Anxiety Lecture Series: SPACE – Parent Based Treatment for Child Anxiety and OCD
This talk focuses on the role of parental behaviors in childhood anxiety and OCD. Highlighting the prevalence and comorbidity of these problems in children, the presentation underscores the importance of reducing family accommodation—a common parental response to a child’s anxiety that often exacerbates symptoms. SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions) focuses on increasing parental support while decreasing accommodating behaviors, aiming to foster a child’s independence and confidence. The talk will provide an introduction to the rationale, evidence-base, and key steps of SPACE treatment.
