eMHPrac Webinar 61: "What's the use of a Formulation?"

A good formulation provides a solid foundation for effective mental health care. In this podcast GP Dr Jan Orman and psychologist Dr Melissa Black discuss the process of making a formulation, how it may work alongside a mental health diagnosis, and its value to both the clinician and their patient/client. 

 

Melissa is the Clinical Research Lead and Clinical Psychologist at Black Dog Institute. She works across clinical research projects focusing on new models of care for specific populations such as healthcare workers and emergency service workers, as well as transdiagnostic treatments for common mental health problems (including depression, anxiety, trauma, obsessive-compulsive disorder). She is interested in how to better integrate digital tools with person-to-person therapy. She also works collaboratively with patients in Black Dog Institute Clinical Services, embracing her role as a scientist-practitioner.
