Working with Patients with Psychosis: an Integrative Approach
Speaker: Dr Dianne Campbell Lefevre
CPD-accredited

Dr Lefevre is a Fellow of The Royal College of Psychiatrists and a BAP-trained psychoanalytic psychotherapist. In her talk to the Inner City Centre she argued that dealing effectively with psychotic patients requires more than one approach. She believes that it is necessary to offer prescribed medication (in as low a dose as possible) but emphasises the necessity of having access to a healthy part of the personality so that some dialogue can be established with the patient.
