New psychiatric medications come onto the market every year and it is a challenge for therapists to stay updated on advances made in psychiatry. It is important for us to be able to identify the medications that might be of benefit to our clients, especially if previous medications have been ineffective or have had high side effect profiles for particular clients. In this presentation, Dr. Ashton will introduce participants to some of the newer medications along with their side effects and dosing options. He will provide us with information about which medications to recommend based on our client’s presenting symptoms and diagnoses. This program has also been opened to UB’s psychiatric residents so that they can receive this training as well as meet those of us in the psychology community. A significant portion of this program will allow for questions and case discussions.
