Psychopathology and treatment effect interference, PART 2: Are we all now psychotherapists?

Psychological factors are always and irrevocably present in any clinician interaction with patients. They can be a help or a hinderance. In PART 1 of this series I spoke about common distortions of thinking that can get in the way of our understanding examination and treatment of patients and of what to do and why. In PART 2 I discuss a common underlying factor present with all treatments which threatens to undermine our ability to discern mechanisms of action, and more. Consequently, we may find ourselves facing uncertainty regarding both treatment choices and interpretation of our results. Join me as I discuss emerging science, important past works, and linking these ideas together so that we can better understand how to help our patients, as well as ourselves, in the presence of new information.
