A Call to Action: The Vital Role of Teaching Psychodynamic Psychotherapy in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry 

Saturday, December 14, 2024, via Zoom

8:30 AM – 12:30 PM

Full refund if unable to attend until December 9, 2024

All residents may attend for free.  Please let the office know at neccapoffice@gmail.com  to let us know you will be attending.  Thank you.

 

This program will be a call to action, focusing on our shared goals of teaching the next generation of child and adolescent psychiatrists to understand and appreciate the psychodynamic psychotherapy skill set--regardless of the child and adolescent psychiatrist's scope of practice.  Please join us for this unprecedented opportunity to learn how talented clinicians are both preserving and nurturing an evidence-based thought process and therapeutic modality that has been increasingly marginalized in training programs nationwide. Our speakers will introduce you to a broad array of courses focused on psychodynamic psychotherapy taught by leading educators-- psychiatrists and psychologists-- at academic medical centers (AMCs), the Boston Psychoanalytic Institute (BPSI), and AACAP.
