Why is Psychiatry Delayed Catching Up With Neuroscience?

Presentation Objective:

• The participants will get a pictorial overview of the history of neuroscience and psychiatry. The growth in neuroscientific knowledge is unfortunately not yet matched in advances in psychiatry.
• The several continuing roadblocks for the development of psychiatry as a clinical neuroscience will be reviewed. These include dogmatism, lack of experimental methods, and arm-chair theorizing, lingering dualism of mind vs body and reductionist thinking that one thing explains everything.
• Rapid expansion of knowledge of the brain in recent years raises the hope for a tipping point for transforming psychiatry into a clinical neuroscience in the not too distant future, and thereby improving the diagnosis and management of these highly disabling illnesses. 

Presenters: Matcheri S. Keshavan, MD, and Staney Cobb, Professor and Academic Head, Department of Psychiatry
