Article Abstract
Although there were several attempts to apply ChatGPT (Generative Pre-Trained Transformer) to medicine, little is known about therapeutic applications in psychiatry. In this exploratory study, we aimed to evaluate the characteristics and appropriateness of the psychodynamic formulations created by ChatGPT. Along with a case selected from the psychoanalytic literature, input prompts were designed to include different levels of background knowledge. These included naïve prompts, keywords created by ChatGPT, keywords created by psychiatrists, and psychodynamic concepts from the literature. The psychodynamic formulations generated from the different prompts were evaluated by five psychiatrists from different institutions. We next conducted further tests in which instructions on the use of different psychodynamic models were added to the input prompts. The models used were ego psychology, self-psychology, and object relations. The results from naïve prompts and psychodynamic concepts were rated as appropriate by most raters. The psychodynamic concept prompt output was rated the highest. Interrater agreement was statistically significant. The results from the tests using instructions in different psychoanalytic theories were also rated as appropriate by most raters. They included key elements of the psychodynamic formulation and suggested interpretations similar to the literature. These findings suggest potential of ChatGPT for use in psychiatry.

Department of Psychiatry, Harpaz-Rotem PTSD Treatment & Research Lab, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, CT, USA.
Background: The RESET (Reconsolidation, Exposure, and Short-term Emotional Transformation) clinical protocol is an intensive, structured trauma-focused intervention designed to treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) within six daily sessions. While Prolonged Exposure (PE) therapy remains a leading evidence-based treatment, challenges such as high dropout rates and relapses highlight the need for innovative approaches.
Objective: This paper outlines RESET's theoretical foundations, session structure, and clinical implementation, offering a detailed framework for its integration into psychotrauma practice.

Wright et al. (2022) argued that the core of personality disorder (PD) is interpersonal in nature; thus, reconceptualizing PD as interpersonal disorders allows more focused assessment, formulation, and treatment planning. Previous research has examined the interpersonal and affective processes relevant to borderline PD (BPD), yet no study to date has investigated how these dynamics may shift in response to psychodynamic psychotherapy.

Feigning and fabrication by a patient can evoke anger and distress in staff and generate diagnosis and management challenges. When faced with difficulties that can lead to moral injury among health care providers, and even risk compromised patient care, clinical teams must balance empathy with appropriate boundaries. This case report examines an individual with a history of polysubstance use and acute-on-chronic pain whose persistent patterns of fabrication-spanning exaggerated military service, terminal illness, family trauma, and academic accomplishments-posed substantial risk-assessment and treatment-planning challenges across multiple clinical presentations.

The purpose of the present article is to describe and demonstrate the principles of multi-module and short-term intervention for traumatic bereavement. This intervention program is based on the Two-Track Model of Loss and Bereavement (TTMB), a model that provides a multidimensional framework for assessing and formulating interventions following interpersonal loss. Following a brief introduction to the topic of traumatic loss and bereavement and its relevance, we proceed to consider the TTMB succinctly.

Psychodynamic concepts can help shape psychopharmacological intervention by integrating a developmental framework and bolstering the comprehensive biopsychosocial formulation. They can also guide the child psychiatrist's understanding of the underlying emotional and relational dynamics influencing the patient's symptoms. By considering the patient's developmental history, unconscious conflicts, and attachment patterns, child psychiatrists can prioritize psychological interventions that address these issues first, thereby creating a holding environment as the stable foundation for pharmacologic treatment.
