This course will focus on the diagnosis and treatment of psychiatric disorders in women across pregnancy and the postpartum. Specialized knowledge is necessary to tailor treatments to reproductive events such as pregnancy, pregnancy planning, and the postpartum. Exposure to psychotropic medications and the consequence of untreated psychiatric disorders must be considered when treating pregnant women, those who may become pregnant during treatment, and those who are breastfeeding. Up to date and comprehensive knowledge is required to help patients make collaborative and individualized treatment decisions. A strong understanding of the literature pertaining to the reproductive safety of medications is imperative to factoring in potential risks and benefits of medication, and context is particularly critical in putting risks into perspective. Focused material will also be presented regarding specialized psychotherapies utilized during pregnancy and the postpartum, as well as an overview of embryology and obstetrics informing a broad range of care modalities. Learning in this course will be facilitated by didactic materials delivered by the faculty from the MGH Center for Women’s Mental Health. Faculty will also provide question and answer and case-based discussion sessions for course participants. Readings to accompany course materials will also be provided.

The distinguished Harvard Business School Professor Emeritus, Richard Tedlow, and the Chair of Psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital, Maurizio Fava, are holding in Boston on October 14, 2023 a highly interactive workshop on “Psychological Challenges and Leadership.” Psychological challenges often play a critical role in leadership. Sometimes these challenges can be harnessed to the advantage of the leader and the organization. At other times, such challenges can be severely detrimental to both the leader and the organization. The purpose of the workshop is to host a discussion about how psychological issues can be identified by executives who are not mental health professionals. How do subordinates “manage up” in the face of a visionary leader whose visions are not altogether rational? How do leaders deal with talented employees whose talents are entwined with irrational issues? How can the leaders themselves achieve a perspective on their own behavior and manage it to the advantage of all constituencies? These are some of the issues which will be discussed at the workshop. We will analyze these questions through the lens provided by three remarkable individuals: General George S. Patton (1885-1945), fashion designer and entrepreneur Kate Spade (1962-2018), and industrialist and entrepreneur Henry Ford (1863-1947). The stories of these leaders contain lessons from which people ambitious to “make a dent in the universe” can profit. These lessons will be the focus of the workshop.
