OUTPATIENT PSYCHOTHERAPY<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<em>Follows <a title=\"Depression Map 1B\" href=\"https:\/\/treatmentmaps.net\/?page_id=1527\/#depressionmap1b\">Section 10<\/a> on Map 1B<br \/>\n<\/em><\/ul>\n<p>In outpatient psychotherapy, you attempt to help a patient overcome, manage, or adapt to his\/her depression without the use of intensive care or a restrictive environment. Most patients who come to a private psychotherapist or clinic are capable of continuing their usual lives and using the treatment as a supplement for dealing with their depression.<\/p>\n<p>Treatment may include helping the patient understand him\/herself, providing information, suggesting life changes, and\/or working with the patient to coordinate other aspects of treatment.<\/p>\n<p>Because depression is often a side effect \u2013 of medical conditions, medications or other disorders, it is important to consider what might be the source of the patient&#8217;s depression early on. It is always possible that treatment of something else can reduce or eliminate the depression.<\/p>\n<p><strong>13a. Outpatient Psychotherapy as the Treatment of Choice<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For these patients, the external arrangements you need to make are less sweeping than for more seriously depressed people; but they are important.<\/p>\n<p>RISK MANAGEMENT can involve any of the possibilities of <a title=\"Depression Map 1B\" href=\"https:\/\/treatmentmaps.net\/?page_id=1535\/#depressionmap1b\">Section 14<\/a>, and possibly others. However, it is generally best to treat patients as co-planners of the case management issues.<br \/>\nFor example, you can suggest that he\/she call between sessions if he\/she feels a need to talk with you; and describe what to expect if he\/she makes the call [&#8220;You&#8217;ll get my answering machine and I&#8217;ll call back within an hour&#8221;, etc.]\n<p>MEDICAL OR PSYCHIATRIC CONSULTATIONS<\/p>\n<p>These can be especially important if&#8230;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>the patient has an ongoing relationship with a physician or psychiatrist<\/li>\n<li>medications are part of treatment<\/li>\n<li>medical or psychiatric diagnostic work is needed<\/li>\n<li><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>13b. Outpatient Psychotherapy After Hospitalization or Day Treatment<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Treatment here is similar to treatment if the patient has not had inpatient or day treatment, except for some special issues that may come up:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Thoughts of being severely damaged. Other people in the patient&#8217;s family, friendships and work settings may contribute to the patient&#8217;s comfort or discomfort around this issue \u2013 even silently.<\/li>\n<li>Reactions to the facility and the other people there.<\/li>\n<li>Managing the stigma of having been hospitalized. Dealing with questions like, &#8220;I haven&#8217;t seen you for a while. Were you on vacation?&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Coordinating treatment with other professionals who may remain involved with the patient.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>ARRANGING CONTINUITY OF CARE<\/p>\n<p>This is often initiated by a treatment facility, especially if the patient wasn&#8217;t in treatment with you prior to hospitalization. If you sent the patient to the facility and have maintained contact, you may need to be more active.<\/p>\n<p>If the facility hasn&#8217;t made contact with you, you can get a release from the patient and make the call, or ask the patient to have records forwarded. Making the call yourself often gives opportunity to speak with a clinician and get information that doesn&#8217;t appear on the charts. It also can lead to immediate access to the clinician&#8217;s information, while it could take days or weeks for paperwork to get to you.<\/p>\n<p>COORDINATING TREATMENT<\/p>\n<p>Usually this is the responsibility of the primary psychotherapist. That would be you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>13c. Steps in Treatment<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As the patient&#8217;s primary therapist, it also becomes your responsibility to be sure that treatment is appropriate and comprehensive.
