Empathy is a category term for capacities related to perspective-taking and sharing in another’s experiences. It is valuable for bridging human connections and motivating us to take initiative to help others. However, empathy is notoriously biased. We empathize more with those who look like us, people we know, and those with higher social status. Moreover, empathy motivates good actions in the short term, not over the long term. With these things in mind, this talk addresses empathy in connection to justice.

Suicide rates continue to rise in the USA despite increased efforts at prevention and intervention. How to understand and respond to suicide loss survivors is an emerging field of research and clinical application to help mitigate some of the long-lasting effects of suicide on survivors. In this presentation I will review the demographics of suicide and how these inform our understanding of the population of suicide loss survivors and the fallout one suicide death has on individuals, families, communities, and organizations.

Radical ethics, a philosophical position recognizing the priority of the other over the ego, specifically concerns the other’s suffering. It refuses to see the other as an instance of a category or concept, and therefor holds immense significance for workers in any mental health profession. But it can seem to deny, or minimize the needs of these workers, or of any individual’s needs in the face of the other’s suffering, and thus comes up against undeniable human limitations. It also raises the psychoanalytic problem of masochism.
Transforming Suicide Risk Assessment - Katie C. Lewis, PhD (Recorded)

  • 1.00 Risk Management Study
$0.00
Clinical suicide risk assessment is often conducted using standardized assessment measures that fail to integrate contemporary theories and empirical findings, especially those pertaining the importance of analyzing the timing and contextual factors affecting suicide risk. This presentation supports a more nuanced understanding of patient-centered, ecologically valid methods of assessing risk for suicide in clinical populations, enabling attendees to develop greater precision and sensitivity in their risk assessment and intervention approaches.

In these last few years we have witnessed unprecedented upheaval in the areas of politics, social justice, the natural world, and public health. To help our patients and to support our practices, communities and the field as a whole, it is vitally important to understand what people are looking for in mental health treatment, and how they think and feel about the therapies we offer. It’s also crucial that public awareness and appreciation of therapies of depth, insight, and relationship improve.

All clinicians face the problem of working with patients whose treatments are not going well and who are not making progress. Clinicians often label these patients as "difficult" or "treatment resistant." This presentation addresses clinicians' own contributions to this experience, including the role of reductionist biomedical perspectives that do not match evolving evidence. The presentation also summarizes psychodynamic principles that may improve outcomes and the role of intermediate levels of care in treating some of these patients.  
Alliance-Based Intervention for Suicide - Eric M. Plakun, MD, DLFAPA, FACPsych (Recorded)

In the last 25 years suicide has increased by 30% in the US, while a growing crisis in mental health is recognized in the post-pandemic world. Broadening training of clinicians to treat suicidal patients is an appropriate response. Although several manualized behavioral and psychodynamic therapies have been found to be efficacious in treatment of suicidal and self-destructive borderline patients, few clinicians achieve proficiency in even one of these.
