CLINICAL PROGRAMS
The adult ambulatory division is fortunate to have
a great wealth of expertise with diverse clinics,
treatment modalities and specialists who address the
wide range of psychiatric problems across the adult
population. This diversity is one of the division's
greatest assets and allows it to provide state of
the art clinical care to the individuals it serves.
The division is fortunate to include the new University
of Michigan Depression Center, a state of the art
center for research, education and treatment of depression.
Our many clinics and experts serve the medical center, region,
and state, specializing in: Anxiety
Disorders, University
of Michigan Depression Center, Personality Disorders,
and Women's
Health.
Modalities include the most sophisticated and advanced
psychopharmacological treatments and the most time-honored
psychotherapeutic ones. We have specialists within
the areas of cognitive and behavioral therapy, interpersonal
therapy, group psychotherapy, long and short term
dynamic therapy, and family and marital treatments.
Particularly exciting are some of the division's primary
and specialty care initiatives. Here, faculty and
trainees work together with primary care physicians
to appropriately identify and treat mental illnesses
in those settings where they present most frequently.
Providing care for the spectrum of medical and psychiatric
difficulties within primary care, is a more holistic
approach to patient care, is more comfortable to patients
and providers and enhances understanding of, detection,
and treatment of the mental illness.
Our history serendipitously provided us with one
of the first managed care programs within an academic
department, placing us in a unique position to cope
effectively with the changes of capitation. Emphasis
on timely access to care and initial work in treatment
outcomes have kept the ambulatory service synchronous
with major trends in care delivery. Work is ongoing
to provide a smoothly functioning continuum of care.
The importance of providing state-of-the art treatment
in a time-efficient and cost-effective manner is highlighted
given the challenges facing all of medicine today.
