Workshop: Treating Chronic Suicidality and Self-Harm in an Outpatient Setting
Chronic high-risk suicidality and self-harming behaviors present a great challenge in clinical practice. Often individuals find themselves frequently cycling through inpatient hospitalization as they are assessed as too high-risk to be treated in an outpatient setting. These hospitalizations can be lifesaving in emergent situations with a focus on means restriction and acute stabilization. At the same time, hospitalization may not be able to address the underlying cycles and longer-term psychological treatment needed to address and change future acts of suicide. Furthermore, hospitalization can inadvertently become a reinforcing factor in difficult to change behavior. In this talk we will use Dialectical Behavioral Therapy theory and strategies to identify how we can effectively treat individuals struggling with high-risk thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in an outpatient setting.

OCD & Anxiety Lecture Series: SCRUPULOSITY: Treating Religious, Moral, and Spiritual Manifestations of OCD
People who suffer with scrupulosity, as a subtype of OCD, can experience a range of challenges getting treatment, such as invalidation of actual spiritual and religious practice (or lack thereof) or becoming overly in obsessional loops and compulsive behaviors. Clinicians often must wade through poorer insight and additional resistance. SCRUPULOSITY: Treating Religious, Moral, and Spiritual Manifestations of OCD invites a brief but comprehensive study into the history of OCD itself—which involves clergy and church history, offering attendees evidence-based tools and resources for best results.

Grand Rounds: Protest Psychosis: Race, Protest, and the Diagnosis of Schizophrenia
Battles over the role of “race” in education and the structures that uphold racial privilege and inequity burst into the national spotlight in the 2020s. But the origins of the debate, and the politics that undergird it, track back decades, and play out in unexpected ways. In this thought-provoking talk, Dr. Metzl provides an analysis of how, within the sociopolitical context of the 1960s and 1970s, the intersection of race and mental health altered the way that mental illness was diagnosed, understood, and treated in the United States. Once considered a nonthreatening disease that primarily targeted white middle-class women, Metzl provides an historical exploration of how schizophrenia became associated with the perceived hostility, rebellion, mistrust, and violence of Black men during the Civil Rights movement.
