The EAPM 2025 (European Association Of Psychosomatic Medicine) in Munich‘s theme was: “Transforming the biopsychosocial model: conceptual and clinical aspects”

Here are the Masterclasses one could attend:

Masterclass 1 by Omer van den Bergh​

In this masterclass I will explain differences between a classical (modal) model of symptom perception and a predictive processing model. The new model explains how the extent to which symptoms are related to pathophysiological processes in the body is a matter of degree that can vary depending on the somatic input, person, and context. You will learn to use the model and derive strategies for treatment.

We will dive into the multifaceted world of persistent somatic symptoms research, drawing from frontline experiences with Long COVID. We will explore both clinical research and population epidemiology, integrating observational studies with trials (RCTs) to assess the efficacy of approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). You will learn how to overcome challenges, including navigating interactions with patient advocacy groups

Alison Creed Award Masterclass 4 – part two​

Leadership gives us great opportunities to improve clinical care and deliver research in psychosomatic medicine. But leading a team can be challenging. In this masterclass, we will use practical exercises to explore what leadership means and how you can lead with confidence. You will develop your leadership goals, enhance your ability to manage competing demands on your time, and learn how to turn difficult conversations into positive experiences.

Frits Huyse Award Masterclass 5 – part two​

Clinicians often have to deal with clinical complexity. This complexity is related but not necessarily a synonym for multi-morbidity. It also reflects the bio-psycho-social overlapping of many other factors including patient needs, organization of care, patient characteristics and expectations and also cultural factors. By examining individual cases workshop participants will improve their skill in applying the bio-psycho-social paradigm to clinical complexity.

Oh, it's going to do all the same old things, but will grow an evil goatee and start laughing maniacally as it destroys millions of lives? Neat.

I was curious about what they mean by transforming. Which is funny when you think of it. This stuff is basically an orthodox church, it literally never changes. They're still pushing out the exact same original ideas, are completely incapable of thinking outside a small set of generic platitudes.

So, anyway, transformation?
TRANSFORMING THE BIOPSYCHOSOCIAL MODEL INTO A BIO-PSYCHO-SOCIO-SPIRITUAL MODEL

Ah, right on with the program: do all the same evil shit and grow an evil goatee. About the only reasonable take on this is to make belief in the model an explicit necessity. Not a religion, though. Well, not a normal religion, anyway.

What an absolutely shameful time for medicine. A major event that completely debunked a massively harmful belief system and treatment model not only made no difference, it's literally being used to do even more harm. Long Covid features large here. Like a doomsday cult that passed the date for the end of the world and found renewal of their faith, stronger than ever, because they can't deal with reality.
MEDICALLY COMPLEX PSYCHIATRIC CONSULT CLINIC: HOW CONSULTATION LIAISON PSYCHIATRY CAN EXPAND ACCESS ACROSS A HEALTH SYSTEM
Click to expand...
Very little research has been performed on this "liaison" stuff, even though it's common. It has found no usefulness. Even Michael Sharpe's research had to conclude so. They still want to expand it, because usefulness has nothing to do with anything they do. Never has, never will. This is about power and control, exerting it and relishing in its domination.

There is nothing more about that 'transformation'. Which I guess is like when a dictator wins a fake election and transitions into a new/same old government.
 
Oh, and this I'd like to see. Must be a riot:
Keynote: WHY THE MEDICAL SYSTEM IS NOT BIOPSYCHOSOCIAL AND WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT

Something about burning all the boats, I imagine. There have never been any boats. Not for us. They razed the forests to make sure we'd never have one. They don't need any so they don't care, they can always just walk away from it all, never looking back at the wreckage they cause. No different than all the scheming people who work for big money, doing things like defending tobacco companies and other forms of corporate brutality and exploitation.
