The Austen Riggs Center presents the work of the Psychotherapy Action Network (PsiAN). This moderated panel discussion focuses on helping therapists address insurance denials, violations of parity, and other treatment limitations that impact providing optimal care for our patients. The landmark Wit v UBH class action lawsuit represented a huge win for patients, therapists, and depth therapy. However, that lawsuit is now in peril, and insurance companies continue to violate parity laws and essentially ration care, which particularly impacts the provision of depth therapy.

Suicidal thoughts are known to fluctuate dramatically over time, presenting an ongoing challenge to clinicians and researchers alike. While supportive social relationships are known to help reduce risk over time, the short-term impact of interpersonal conflicts on suicide risk is less well understood. In this presentation, contemporary theories drawn from the realms of personality science and suicide prevention will be used as a foundation for understanding the role of implicit relational dynamics in suicide risk.

Aging is associated with a spectrum of cognitive changes ranging from normative mild alterations to clinically significant changes to debilitating impairments. Behavioral symptoms, too, are common and these can resemble non-cognitive mental health disorders.

In this presentation, Dianne Elise, PhD, will be making use of a Winnicottian formulation of the analytic field to highlight the often unspoken, implicit erotic dimensions of our work. She puts forth the premise that psychoanalysis is an erotic project and proposes that a creative aesthetic can provide a clinical container for the engagement and exploration of erotic life within the analytic field of each treatment. An atmosphere of libidinal energy is seen as a crucial aspect in enlivening the intersubjective field.

In the last two decades, psychedelics have re-emerged as promising novel agents for treatment of a broad range of mental health conditions including depression, PTSD, substance use disorders, end-of-life anxieties, eating disorders, and more. Our understanding of their putative mechanisms of action has significantly evolved as well. Several Phase II and III clinical trials of psychedelic-assisted therapy (PAT) using psilocybin and MDMA are either complete or nearing completion, with some of these therapies projected to receive FDA approval within the next couple of years.

A creative reading of Hans Loewald’s evocative statement on therapeutic action, the process of transforming “ghosts into ancestors,” is used to explore a way of being with and healing patients with mixed-race identities who are imprisoned in melancholic states.
