How Treatment is Done at UPMC Brain Clinic
The specialists of the brain clinic offer wide-ranging diagnostic insights aimed at identifying both the type of disorder and its history. Following the diagnostic evaluation, the treatment involves in some cases the combination of several interventions, in an outpatient setting, day hospital and, where necessary, in a home environment.
At the clinical level, central therapy constitutes psychotherapeutic treatments, possibly integrated with psychopharmacological treatments.
The Integrated Approach of the Brain Clinic
In the brain clinic, psychotherapy integrates with psychiatry and addresses the aspects of psychic distress based on body-mind integration. It is an integrated work on human behavior, emotions, body, mind, brain (biological psychiatry), interpersonal experiences (individual psychotherapy), relationships, and family history (family psychotherapy). Psychotherapy sessions are regularly accompanied by psychotherapeutic supervision and coordination with specialists from other disciplines.Our Team
At the brain clinic, we operate a multidisciplinary team of specialists. The work of the team is based on the careful coordination between university-level clinical psychiatrists and a team of expert psychologists and psychotherapists. They work in close collaboration with internists and neurologists, cardiologists, rheumatologists, geriatricians, endocrinologists, and physiatrists.
