The Gap Between Science and Delivery: Can Biological Processes Help Us Improve Psychological Interventions?
Despite progress toward establishing evidence-based treatments for many mental disorders, nearly half of patients do not improve and 10% get worse. Mental disorders are heterogenous and a “one size fits all” approach to treatment is unlikely to address the diverse needs of people with mental disorders. In this talk, Michael Dolsen will present a series of studies that examine how new insights into the neurobiology of mental disorders could be used to inform clinical decision making and drive progress towards treatment personalization.
