Moderator: Dr. Timothy Fowles, University of Delaware Presenters: Dr. Stacia Friedman-Hill, NIMH Dr. Matthew Nock, Harvard University Dr. David Brent, University of Pittsburgh Dr. Friedman-Hill discusses the potential for the RDoC framework to guide discovery of modifiable targets for suicide prevention. Dr. Nock uses data from his research to shed light on psychobiological constructs relevant to suicide. Dr. Brent talks about exemplars of interventions that work for suicide and the potential mechanisms underlying such treatments. Background: The NIMH RDoC Unit, the Delaware Project and ABCT emphasize research-driven strategies for understanding mental disorders. They focus on how an interdisciplinary perspective that includes behavior, biology, emotion, and cognition can be used to analyze mental disorders, teach new ways of thinking about them, and assess and treat them more effectively. Using this theme, this webinar series features a variety of speakers and topics that demonstrate how basic science, translational research, and treatment are connected, and explores how to train the next generation of mental health providers in this translational approach.Link to original article Previous Article Unboxing - World's Largest Brain Scanner Next Article Clinical Trials Day 2019: 5 Things You Should Know About Clinical Trials Print 538 Rate this article: No rating 0Upvote 0Downvote Leave a comment Name: Please enter a name.
