Objective: This paper sought to compile an annotated bibliography for the outpatient year of adult psychiatry residents, providing resources for a foundation in psychodynamic theory which can be utilized in supervision to aid in ongoing psychotherapeutic work.
Methods: In selecting the readings, the ACGME Milestones sub-competencies considered were (i) empathy and process, (ii) boundaries, (iii) alliance and provision of psychotherapies, (iv) seeking and providing supervision, and (v) knowledge of psychotherapy (theories, practice, and evidence base). Once the readings were selected, two authors independently reviewed the articles to determine which key sub-competencies each article addressed.
Background: Delirium commonly occurs in hospitalized elderly patients, resulting in increased morbidity and mortality. Although evidence for treatment of delirium exists, evidence supporting pharmacologic prevention of delirium in high risk patients is limited.
Objective: This review examined whether delirium in at-risk patients can be prevented with antipsychotic prophylaxis in the inpatient setting.
Objective: This study sought to determine whether patients on psychiatric medication evaluated by inpatient consultation psychiatrists followed up with psychiatric aftercare and continued psychiatric medication 8 weeks post-discharge. Barriers to care and their effect on aftercare follow-up were assessed.
Method: This was a prospective study of a consecutive sample of adults who received a psychiatric consultation and were prescribed psychotropic medication during hospitalization on the general medical or surgical inpatient units at the University of Maryland Medical Center.
