Training Early-Career Psychiatrists to Listen to Psychotic Patients with an Intent to Understand the Meaning of Psychotic Symptoms

The presentation begins with an introduction by Michael Garrett, MD, who briefly summarizes the recent renewed interest in trauma-informed psychotherapeutic treatments for psychotic conditions. Dr. Garrett then introduces a series of interviews he conducted with seven PGYIII psychiatric residents who describe the impact that training in psychological approaches to psychosis had on their treatment of their psychotic patients and the effect of this training on their developing identities as early career psychiatrists. The presentation concludes with a list of resources attendees who interested in additional information about training might seek out.
