On Demand Grand Rounds: Healing: Our Path from Mental Illness to Mental Health

HARRY STACK SULLIVAN AWARD LECTURE

This presentation was originally reviewed on March 21, 2022, and broadcast live online on March 23, 2022, from 11:30 AM – 1:00 PM ET. 

The views and opinions expressed by this presenter in this lecture are their own, and do not represent the views of Sheppard Pratt.

This talk begins with a simple question: why with so much progress in science have we made so little progress in outcomes for people with mental illness, especially those with serious mental illness?  Why have we failed to reduce death and disability?  I will suggest that our usual explanations (lack of treatments, lack of knowledge, lack of providers, stigma) are not sufficient answers to this question.  A different set of explanations (lack of engagement, lack of quality, lack of accountability) provides more immediate solutions, including some that can be delivered via technology.  But there is a broader context that needs to be considered if we are to close the outcome gap.  To reduce death and disability we will need to aim for recovery, not just immediate symptom relief.  Recovery requires the 3 P’s: people, place, and purpose.  The 3 P’s, essential for recovery, are not currently part of healthcare, but they are critical for mental health.  Psychiatric care needs to expand beyond a narrow medical model if we are going to close the outcome gap.  The problem of mental illness is unequivocally medical, but the solutions are broader, including people, place, and purpose.  This presentation will reframe the mental health crisis as more than a healthcare crisis.

Target Audience

This activity is intended for physicians, nurses, psychologists, social workers, counselors and other mental health professionals. 

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, attendees will be able to:

  1. Recognize that progress in research has not translated to progress in outcomes for people with serious mental illness (SMI).
  2. Identify the reasons for lack of progress in outcomes for people with SMI.
  3. Define the critical elements (the three P’s) of recovery.
