Robert Michels, MD

Presenters
Glen Gabbard, MD | Anthony Bass, PhD | Sharone Ornstein, MD | Theodore Jacobs, MD

This panel addresses how change can be recorded, examined, and measured in psychoanalysis using rating scales, functional imaging, and other measures.

After attending the presentation, participants will be able to:

• Discuss how change in the patient can be measured, quantified, and assessed.
• Describe how measurable changes relate to the patient’s internal state of mind and subjective experience.
• Explain how knowledge about scientific approaches and techniques apply to quantifying change in clinical practice.
