While it is common knowledge that physical illness affects mental wellbeing and vice versa, there has been a surprising lack of cooperation between psychotherapists and MDs in serving patients' needs. The Collaborative Psychotherapist provides step-by-step guidance on how psychotherapists can work with their medical colleagues on a routine basis.

The course is designed to help you:

Comprehend the reasons for collaboration between medical and mental health practitioners,
Identify the practice patterns changes designed to create collaborative relationships between medical and mental health practitioners,
Discuss ways to move from minimal collaboration between medical and mental health professionals to basic and ongoing collaboration,
Discuss cultural differences between medical and mental health fields that can create difficulties in collaboration and strategies to manage these issues, and
Illustrate collaborative strategies that optimize patient care.
