Course Description
Recently a movement spearheaded at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine has begun using improvisational acting exercises to teach physicians, psychotherapists, and other healthcare professionals the ability to respond flexibly in the face of change. This approach, termed “medical improvisation”, has shown promise in promoting a wide variety of communication skills, including empathy, affirmation, collaboration, and authenticity. Although the title of the approach implies that it is medically oriented, its methods apply to any setting involving human interaction. A recent classification of medical improv skills (Fu, 2019) breaks them into three categories: Attunement, Affirmation, and Advancement. This year’s seminar will focus on the second category, Affirmation, or validation of self and others (e.g., agreement, appreciation, cooperation, comfort with uncertainty/risk, and encouragement). While the effects of practicing medical improv can often be humorous, participants do not need to be “funny” to do it. The leaders of this largely experiential workshop will draw on their close collaboration with Paul Sills, founding director of Chicago’s Second City, who used improvisation to train renowned actors such as Alan Arkin and Alan Alda. After an overview of current research and theory in medical improvisation and affirmation skills, the bulk of the week will be devoted to engaging in and discussing a series of simple and entertaining improv exercises in a safe, highly supportive atmosphere. No previous experience with improvisation or medical improvisation is required.

Learning Objectives
Participants who engage in this education intervention will be able to:

• Identify the importance of spontaneity and improvisational ability in medicine, psychotherapy, pharmacy, and other health-related fields
• List and describe Fu’s (2019) three categories of medical improvisation’s goals and core skills: (a) Attunement (knowledge of self and others), (b) Affirmation (validation of self and others), and (c) Advancement (enrichment of self and others)
• Demonstrate core affirmation skills including acceptance, agreement, and appreciation
• Demonstrate comfort with uncertainty/risk and failure

Course Description
Delirium is a syndrome of neuropsychiatric signs and symptoms that can accompany severe medical conditions. It is an independent risk factor for increased morbidity and mortality and is associated with increased lengths of stay and costs of care. Despite this, it frequently goes unrecognized, and debate continues about the best prevention and treatment strategies. We will review the current best practices for identifying, preventing, and treating delirium to improve outcomes and minimize adverse events. Substance Use Disorders (SUDs) represent a public health crisis. Medical admissions for this at-risk patient population are increasing. Unfortunately, administrative hurdles, legal challenges, and associated stigma complicate the assessment and treatment of SUDs in the inpatient medical setting. We will outline various identification and management options for alcohol and opioid use disorders commonly encountered in the hospital setting. Challenging patient interactions are present in all types of healthcare settings. Addressing the patient's needs, managing staff distress, and identifying our feelings are essential to safe management and resolving these demanding situations. Adverse effects of psychiatric medications vary from those that may be a nuisance to more severe and potentially life-threatening adverse events. We will review the diagnosis, pathophysiology, and treatment of neuroleptic malignant syndrome and serotonin syndrome. Awareness of these possible adverse effects is essential because they are associated with physical morbidity and mortality.

Last year, a paper stating that there is no evidence regarding serotonin deficiency in major depression brought about a new controversy in the field of psychopharmacology. We will reexamine the monoamine theory of depression and newer concepts in the neurobiology of major depression. We will look at the antidepressants available now. There have been six medications approved by the FDA in the last 15 years for treatment of major depression. These include three new mechanisms 鈥� NMDA receptor antagonism, GABA 鈥� A receptor modulators and 5HT-1 receptor agonism. We will look at these mechanisms and the data behind them.

Thorazine was the first widely used anti-psychotic and its structure gave rise to almost half of the psychoactive agents we now have available. In the last 15 years, four new antipsychotics have been approved by the FDA. We will discuss these in detail. Exciting potential antipsychotics are being tested based on the muscarinic system and the Trace amine-associated receptor 1 (TAAR1). We will critique where these mechanisms may be beneficial. Finally, we will scrutinize Alzheimer鈥檚 disease and the new anti-amyloid treatments and the FDA鈥檚 approval of brexpiprazole for agitation in Alzheimer鈥檚 disease means for clinical practice.

Learning Objectives
Participants who engage in this education intervention will be able to:

• Identify the mechanisms of action of newer antidepressants
• Identify the mechanisms of new and potential antipsychotics

David Mintz, MD

David Mintz, MD, is a graduate of the University of Miami School of Medicine and the Cambridge Hospital/Austen Riggs Center Combined Residency Program. He completed a Fellowship in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy at the Austen Riggs Center, where he remained on staff as Treatment Team Leader, Director of Psychiatric Education, and Associate Director of Training in the Fellowship in Psychotherapy and Adult Psychoanalysis. At the Austen Riggs Center, Dr. Mintz’s clinical work focuses on complex, multiple co-morbid, and “treatment-resistant” patients. To optimally engage such patients, Dr. Mintz and colleagues have developed a patient-centered, psychodynamically informed approach to leveraging the pharmacotherapeutic alliance and addressing psychological resistance to the healthy use of treatment. His book Psychodynamic Psychopharmacology: Caring for the Treatment-Resistant Patient, and over a dozen other papers, explores these principles. Dr. Mintz is also the recent past leader of the Psychotherapy Caucus of the American Psychiatric Association.

Course Description
The history of psychiatry is a pendulum that swings between the biological and psychosocial poles. The psychodynamic perspective that held sway for most of the 20th Century gave way to the “Decade of the Brain,” and a privileging of biomedical perspectives. Though psychiatry benefited from an increasingly evidence-based perspective and a proliferation of safer and more tolerable treatments, psychiatric outcomes have not substantially improved. Treatment resistance remains a serious problem across psychiatric diagnoses. One likely reason is that the systems within which mental health practitioners are working often create pressures to adopt biologically reductionistic frameworks, limiting meaningful integration of biological and psychosocial perspectives across the treatment team.

This course will review the historical and theoretical tensions between bio- and psychosocial psychiatry and will explore possibilities of integration. We will examine the evidence base connecting meaning, medications, and outcomes, and will explore the dynamic meaning of medications and common dynamics contributing to pharmacologic treatment-resistance. We will review psychodynamic concepts relevant to the practice of psychopharmacology and explore a model (Psychodynamic Psychopharmacology) that aims to enhance pharmacotherapy outcomes through the integration of psychodynamic attitudes and skills. We will focus on techniques for fostering a patient-centered pharmacotherapeutic alliance and will consider necessary skills for identifying and addressing psychological and interpersonal interferences with the healthy use of medications. More broadly, we will consider approaches to optimize the integration of pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy, in both combined and split treatments.

Learning Objectives
Participants who engage in this education intervention will be able to:

• Cite aspects of the evidence base demonstrating that how one prescribes may affect outcomes as much as what one prescribes
• Recognize and formulate common psychodynamics interfering with optimal pharmacotherapy outcomes
• Develop a patient-centered alliance that supports the patient’s ability to make healthy use of medications
• Use psychodynamically-informed interventions to address dynamics driving treatment-resistance

Course Description
“We must learn to live together as brothers and sisters–or perish together as fools.” – Martin Luther King, Jr.

Through mindful viewing of five feature films – today’s vehicles of myth – participants will open their hearts to the quality of belonging with others and belonging to others that is so important in our time. We will trace how cinema’s greatest directors have depicted intolerance and ways of eventually embracing the other through compassion, love, and recognition of our interdependence as humans. This seminar aims at a mindfulness experience through viewing 5 feature films from Japan, the United States, and the United Kingdom in which inspiring characters embody belonging as a way to resilient well-being for the purpose of renewing these qualities in the lives of the seminar participants and in our work with patients. On each of the five mornings, one film is shown via Blu-ray video projection and six loudspeakers with an introduction and centering process to begin the session and processing after the film focusing on the participant's own experience of the movie including silent reflection, journaling, dyadic sharing, and group discussion. Supplementary optional films (non-CME) will be shown on two evenings (Monday and Thursday). Films take on an exquisite cumulative power when shown over five days at the DCSI in a group setting that is truly remarkable and unforgettable.

Learning Objectives
Participants who engage in this education intervention will be able to:

• Identify how film characters embody compassion as a way to resilient well-being so as to identify these strengths in themselves and in their patients.
• Develop skills and practice techniques of viewing of films from a mindfulness perspective in which inspiring characters embody compassion as a means to resilient well-being for the purpose of renewing these qualities in their lives.
• Describe the essential role of developing compassion as a way to resilient well-being.
