This presentation explores the role of psychoanalytically-informed, hospital-based care in the diagnosis and treatment of psychiatry’s most treatment-refractory patients. Object relations theory and Bion’s exposition of group psychological processes inform an understanding of transference-counter transference phenomena which endow the psychoanalytic hospital with its uniquely mutative potential.

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.

Psychedelic therapy is quickly gaining recognition as a possible treatment for psychiatric illness across much of the diagnostic spectrum. This talk will focus on the early evidence for the safety and efficacy of psychedelic therapy within patients with particularly difficult to treat presentations of depression including bipolar type II depression, depression with chronic active suicidal ideation and severely treatment resistant depression. Insights will be shared from the experience of a master clinical researcher as he explored the use of psilocybin.

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.

The arts and humanities play a fundamental role in health professions education. Integrating A&H pedagogical methods into health professions education supports clinical skill mastery, perspective taking, personal insight, and social advocacy. This highly interactive talk will focus on Visual Thinking Strategies, an evidence-based arts and humanities method that enhances individual attributes crucial to clinical care, including implicit bias awareness and critical thinking, while contributing to inclusive learning spaces by minimizing pre-existing hierarchies and fostering team cohesion. Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in a Visual Thinking Strategies discussion and reflect together on how Visual Thinking Strategies supports the development of clinically relevant attributes, as well as facilitative teaching and leadership skills, informed by an understanding of the method’s key elements.

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.

Most lectures on suicide assume an academic perspective by focusing exclusively on research related to suicide or clinical disorders associated with suicide. This presentation will take a different perspective by presenting information about evidence-based strategies for suicide prevention and then hearing from three survivors of suicide attempts about their experiences with some of these strategies. The participants will learn about the non-linear and unexpected path each survivor took to recover from their intense suicidality. What worked, what didn’t, and how unexpected interventions and social connection contributed to traditional treatments. The testimonies of the survivors will be honest in their appraisal of the behavioral health system, and the effort and commitment required to achieve recovery. The important takeaway of the presentation is that no single treatment for suicidality is effective for all patients, and each patient will experience periods of trial and error as they search for the treatment that is most effective for them. Ultimately, each person finds treatments that support their functionality realizing that treatments for suicidality are often not fully curative.
