Emerging Frameworks in Psychiatry

Psychiatry is overdue for a fresh look at the conditions we diagnose and the treatments we provide. Scott Shannon, MD, a pioneer in the field of integrative psychiatry, reviews emerging frameworks from systems theory to game theory, and cutting-edge technologies such as neurofeedback, psychedelics, and virtual reality. You’ll understand how hypnosis is relevant to the placebo effect when prescribing medication.

In the last decade, the pharmaceutical development pipeline has all but dried up. However, many other types of treatments are emerging as exciting new approaches.  Psychedelics are a hot topic in the news right now. MDMA and Psilocybin assisted psychotherapy are currently showing promise in studies as effective treatment for PTSD and depression.

Get up-to-date on the applications of these medicines and what’s to come. You’ll also learn about applied game theory and how neurofeedback has helped so many people struggling with ADHD, as well as the diagnostic applications of this technology.  Newer technologies such as virtual reality are also in early stages of clinical applications for PTSD and schizophrenia.
