At a time when an aging America is dealing with a rise in the prevalence of behaviorally driven chronic medical conditions, increasing numbers of psychotherapists are bringing their knowledge of human behavior and skills as empathic listeners and systems thinkers to the wards and offices of American medicine, including hospitals, family medicine practices, cancer centers, and neonatal units. In this workshop, we'll describe the cultural and attitudinal differences between the therapy and medical worlds and discuss concrete means of bridging the cultural divide. We'll offer specific ideas for taking the typical therapist's tool-bag and retrofitting it to the needs and roles of the healthcare team, including fostering wellness and facilitating lifestyle modifications. Video clips will demonstrate the dos and don'ts of collaboration between mental and physical health providers.
