Explore the evolving role of psychotherapy in psychiatry in our May theme! We want to hear about your insights, tips, and case studies.

Psychiatric Times is featuring monthly themes that speak to various aspects of psychiatry and issues relevant to psychiatric clinicians. Our May theme focuses on the important practice of psychotherapy. Psychoanalysis has become less frequently practiced due to its cost and limited insurance reimbursement. How often do you use psychotherapy in your practice? Do you have practice tips to offer your fellow mental health clinicians? How should practitioners approach conversations about psychotherapy vs pharmacotherapy? Have you experienced a patient case that could help others learn?

If you have something you want to share, whether that's an article, case study example, or CME article, let us know! Write to us now at PTEditor@mmhgroup.com to be featured in our May content series and potentially in a future Special Report/print issue.
