SUMMARY:Authenticity: An Ethical Core for Clinical Practice
DESCRIPTION:The ethical codes for mental health professionals are guided by internationally recognized standards centered around core principles: respect for others\, competence\, integrity\, and responsibility to society. Central to these standards is our integrity as a human being\, a professional\, and a member of society\, based on principles of fairness\, justice\, and respect for difference. These codes also recognize the value of community service; ways in which our training demands a certain level of social responsibility.  We are called upon to know our field well enough to make choices that have integrity\, and to engage in ongoing trainings that support our own development within a changing world. And yet\, countering these standards is the anxious insecurity that threatens to make us lose our minds rather than build them\, and to turn to rules that\, in the absence of our reflective capacity\, can become dangerously mindless. We see this\, for example\, in the turn towards using diagnoses\, not to organize our understanding\, but as reified entities that demand specific treatments that may harm more than they help. In that turn\, we lose touch with the most basic principle guiding our ethics: to do no harm. The price of objectifying persons rather than assisting them in enlarging their own subjective capacities is highlighted in this era of AI.  In such an era\, we need to locate our ethics within a foundation that does not betray us – or those we work with – by masquerading behind a veneer of ‘truth’ that has no authentic\, ethical\, human core. Using clinical illustrations\, I discuss the values of authenticity and respect for difference as crucial grounding points for ethical clinical practice.

SUMMARY:Links Between Childhood Trauma\, Psychosis\, the Bayesian Predictive Processing Model of Brain Function\, Transference\, and the Mind Conceived as a Self-Organizing System - Michael D. Garrett\, MD
DESCRIPTION:2026 Grand Rounds Series\nSpeaker: Michael D. Garrett\, MD \nResearch in the last four decades has shown a strong correlation between childhood adversity (e.g.\, sexual abuse\, physical abuse\, emotional neglect) and psychosis\, which recasts chronic psychosis as a trauma-related/stress/related disorder requiring psychotherapy as well as medication. This presentation will describe how psychotic symptoms can be understood as meaningful expressions of a psychotic person’s past history and current state of mind\, manifestations of a person’s subjective world that provide invaluable guides to a person’s emotional ailments. The talk will show how transference in psychotherapy can be understood as an inevitable consequence of the Bayesian predictive processing model of brain function and how delusions and other psychological defenses emerge as a natural consequence of the neuroscientific conception of the mind as a self-organizing system.

SUMMARY:Resolving Therapeutic Dilemmas in Suicidal Clients Using Principles of Dynamic Deconstructive Psychotherapy - Robert J. Gregory\, MD
DESCRIPTION:2026 Grand Rounds Series\nSpeaker: Robert J. Gregory\, MD \nEngaging suicidal clients in treatment and recovery is intense and challenging. Clients may state: “I just want to die”\, “Nothing is going to help”\, or “If you discharge me\, I’m going to kill myself”. Therapists can sometimes feel helpless\, hopeless and trapped in the responsibility of holding their client’s life in their hands. In this presentation\, Dr. Gregory will share principles and techniques grounded in Dynamic Deconstructive Psychotherapy theory\, research\, and extensive front-line experience to shed light on complex cases and common therapeutic dilemmas\, offering a path forward for both therapists and clients.
