title: Psychodynamics and medication.
abstract: In many training programs and for many practitioners there is conflict between the importance and use of psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy. Some of the historical, political, interpersonal, and intrapersonal roots of the problem are summarized in the hope that understanding and self-scrutiny will help break down the splitting that remains all too common.
