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 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 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.
