Join Maryna Mammoliti, a psychiatrist, as we explore the complex concept of “defensiveness” in the medical field and beyond. We’ll discuss why labeling reactions as “defensive” can carry negative connotations, the role of defensiveness as a natural survival mechanism, and how understanding it can lead to more compassionate and empathetic health care interactions.

Maryna Mammoliti is a psychiatrist.

She discusses the KevinMD article, “Is being defensive evolutionary healthy or modernly inconvenient?”

Our presenting sponsor is Nuance, a Microsoft company.
