We are pleased to have Dr. McWlliams leading our fall workshop and exploring with us her understanding of psychoanalytically informed diagnostic formulation, with an emphasis on the implications for therapy.. In the morning, Dr. McWilliams will discuss psychoanalytic diagnosis as opposed to the use of traditional psychiatric diagnostic categories. In the afternoon, she will respond to a case presentation, illustrating the clinical utility of psychoanalytic diagnostic formulation as used in conjunction with treatment.
