Abstract
Interventional Psychiatry is an emerging subspecialty that treats patients with disorders resistant to routine measures by employing advanced treatment modalities and procedures that require expertise beyond the training provided in a general psychiatric residency. Interventional psychiatrists thus require advanced technical, psychiatric, and general medical training and expertise to be able to provide these treatments in a safe and effective manner. In this article, we will discuss our take on the definition of interventional psychiatry, review the modalities included in this field, and suggest training requirements for an interventional psychiatrist. We will also share our experience in providing advanced interventional psychiatry training as a chief residency or fellowship at the Yale New Haven Psychiatric Hospital.
