PSYCHOPHARMACOLOGY HOME STUDY (3 CE'S)

Course overview

Many clients struggling with mental health issues are best treated with a combination of psychological and pharmacological interventions. Effective collaboration between clinicians specializing in each of these modalities requires a basic understanding of each others discipline. Dr.Heinrichs, a psychiatrist experienced in both pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy, will provide the non-prescribing psychotherapist with a practical grasp of psychopharmacology sufficient to allow them to coordinate comfortably and effectively with the psychiatrist or other prescribing clinician in the ongoing shared treatment of their clients and to assist their clients in considering the potential benefits and limits of medication treatment.
