EP13 Invited Address 21 – Refocused Psychotherapy as The First Line of Intervention in Behavioral Health – Nicholas Cummings, PHD, SCD

Description:

In the age in which psychotropic medications have largely replaced psychotherapy, or medications are primary when psychotherapy is included, this presentation will demonstrate how psychotherapy alone can take precedence over medications, and achieve better outcomes than are currently being seen in our failing mental health system.

Educational Objectives:

1. Describe how to expand psychotherapy into proven techniques that far surpass the limited, stiled limitations of today’s cognitive therapy.
2. Explain how personality disorders must be treated differently than the usual patient, thus markedly improving the success rate.
3. Demonstrate the successful techniques without medication.
