Vitucci Memorial Lecture October 16, 2024, 12pm Eastern Standard Time

The CURESZ Foundation welcomes Matcheri Keshavan, MD, to present a virtual lecture in memory of Anthony Vitucci titled:

Early intervention in Psychoses: Rationale, Evidence and Approaches. View the lecture here.

Comprehensive, early intervention (EI) approaches have shown promise in improving long-term outcomes in psychotic disorders. This presentation reviews the rationale and salient concepts relevant to understanding the growing EI literature. A selective review of the literature on the neurobiological rationale and the evidence for the effectiveness of integrated EI is followed by a discussion of feasibility. Finally, I will present a framework that seeks to outline EI approaches using several case vignettes.

Anthony Vitucci was 23-years-old when he passed. He had his first psychotic episode December of 2014. He was an avid soccer player, loved going to the beach and going fishing as well as working out at the gym. He was kind, caring and would help anyone in need. He was funny and always playing jokes on me (his mom). Most of all, he loved spending time with his family and frequently expressed how grateful he was for the devoted and diligent care we provided for him during his illness.

No fee or donation is required to attend.

 

Registration closed.

The Vitucci lecture has been accredited for 1.5 CEU credits. CE is available for physicians, psychologists (American Psychological Association), counselors and social workers.
