| | | APSA_NY12-204 | | Scientific Paper Prize for Psychoanalytic Research: Changes of brain activation pre- post short-term psychodynamic inpatient psychotherapy: An fMRI study of panic disorder patients Speakers: Manfred E. Beutel, MD, (Mainz, Germany); Jerald Kay, MD (Dayton, OH); Barbara Milrod, MD (New York, NY) A number of neuro-imaging studies have shown that effective psychotherapy also affects brain function. Based on a brief review of pertinent methods and previous findings, the first functional MRI study assessing panic disorder patients before and after psychodynamic therapy are presented. The results indicate psychodynamic treatment leads to changes in fronto-limbic circuitry, similar to previous findings on cognitive-behavioral treatments. In the analyses of long-term follow-up data, evidence further shows that the change in amygdala reactivity is predictive of improvement 3 years post-treatment. Opportunities and limitations of the application of neuro-imaging technologies in psychotherapy research are discussed. Audio CDs: 2 | | Audio CD | | $30.00 | | $30.00 | |

For this session, discusses how his involvement on TV and radio, his books and participation with a national non-profit organization have helped increase awareness both for his private practice and for psychoanalysis in the San Diego area.
