Uses of medications in psychoanalysis Potential benefits and drawbacks
As Americans increasingly seek a “quick fix” to physical and mental ailments, psychoanalysts can be caught in the crossfire of a debate about the potential benefits and drawbacks of including medication in their treatment plans. A panel discussion entitled, “The Uses of Medications in Psychoanalysis: What We Know; What is Uncertain,” will be led by internationally renowned psychoanalyst Glen O. Gabbard, M.D., at the American Psychoanalytic Association’s 2008 Winter Meeting. The panel discussion will be held on Friday, January 18, 2008, from 2-5 p.m. at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York. Media are invited to attend.
