Doing & Dialoguing Together: Multimodal Treatment for Psychosis
Practice, Research & Resources With McLean Hospital
September 2026
Psychosis as seen through a psychosocial lens—from clinical formulation to functional recovery—can be framed as a state of isolation from one’s sense of self, one’s social connections, and one’s larger community.
The speakers use this framework to present an integrated model for treating psychosis, including multidisciplinary teams and multimodal interventions.
Learning objectives
By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:
Discuss the role of isolation in psychosis in terms of risk factors, symptoms, disease progression, and prognosis.
Describe three therapeutic approaches to treating psychosis.
