Although there were several attempts to apply ChatGPT (Generative Pre-Trained Transformer) to medicine, little is known about therapeutic applications in psychiatry. In this exploratory study, we aimed to evaluate the characteristics and appropriateness of the psychodynamic formulations created by ChatGPT. Along with a case selected from the psychoanalytic literature, input prompts were designed to include different levels of background knowledge. These included naïve prompts, keywords created by ChatGPT, keywords created by psychiatrists, and psychodynamic concepts from the literature. The psychodynamic formulations generated from the different prompts were evaluated by five psychiatrists from different institutions. We next conducted further tests in which instructions on the use of different psychodynamic models were added to the input prompts. The models used were ego psychology, self-psychology, and object relations. The results from naïve prompts and psychodynamic concepts were rated as appropriate by most raters. The psychodynamic concept prompt output was rated the highest. Interrater agreement was statistically significant. The results from the tests using instructions in different psychoanalytic theories were also rated as appropriate by most raters. They included key elements of the psychodynamic formulation and suggested interpretations similar to the literature. These findings suggest potential of ChatGPT for use in psychiatry.

Dostoyevsky's novels raise profound ethical, moral, philosophical and theological issues and, as a result, both he and his novels serve as fertile subjects of scholarly inquiry across a variety of academic disciplines. In particular, major characters in "The Brothers Karamazov" lend themselves to classical psychodynamic formulations, such as the influence of adverse childhood experiences on adult social and occupational outcomes, which in the case of Dmitry, the eldest son of Fyodor Pavlovich Karamazov, are considered in exquisitely fine detail. Prosecutor and defense attorney provide differing interpretations of how early traumas, largely due to paternal neglect and abuse, affected Dmitry's adult outcome in the climactic trial over his alleged patricide.

Objective: Patients who have experienced child abuse often have complex clinical presentations; whether a history of child abuse (HCA) affects psychotherapy outcomes is unclear. The authors examined relationships between HCA, clinical baseline variables, and change in these variables after three different psychotherapies for panic disorder (PD).
Methods: Two hundred adults with PD (with or without agoraphobia) were randomly assigned to one of three treatments across two sites: panic-focused psychodynamic psychotherapy (PFPP), cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), or applied relaxation training (ART).

The dissociative motor disorder is one of the most commonly diagnosed forms of dissociative disorder in the Indian population, especially among adolescents. However, there is a dearth of literature on effective psychotherapy practices in the Indian setting. This article details the unique process of employing an integrative psychotherapy approach with a 16-year-old adolescent girl diagnosed with dissociative motor disorder who presented with complaints of headache, deviation of mouth, multiple somatic complaints, inability to move her legs, episodes of loss of consciousness with jerking of upper limbs and a non-pervasive low mood.

In the last two decades, several working groups in the international psychoanalytic community have been interested in the development of systematic tools for psychodynamic diagnosis, case formulation and treatment planning. Such psychodynamic diagnostic manuals are efforts to systematically integrate an enormous and rich amount of historically partialized and dispersed information, but which constitute the substantial contribution of psychoanalysis to the field of mental health. The aim of the present article is to provide an updated review on this kind of systematic tools for diagnosis, case formulation and therapeutic planning, designed for the field of psychodynamic approaches.
