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.

SUMMARY:How We Conceptualize Disability and Why it Matters Clinically
DESCRIPTION:2026 Grand Rounds Series  \nSpeaker: Rhoda Olkin\, PhD \nClients come to therapy with entrenched ideas about illness\, health\, and disability. How they conceptualize disability impacts all aspects of therapy\, including goals\, acceptable interventions\, and the therapeutic relationship. These conceptualizations\, called Models of Disability in the literature\, are one aspect of Disability Affirmative Therapy. The models are Moral\, Medical\, Social and Biopsychosocial models. Most clients have some combination of each model and its positive and negative connotations. This presentation covers the four models of disability and gives examples of how clients talk within their model\, and how that affects their responses to microaggressions. The relationship of models to mental health will be discussed.

SUMMARY:Out of Sight\, Still in Mind: Intersession Processes and Suicidal Ideation in Psychodynamic Treatment
DESCRIPTION:2026 Grand Rounds Series \nSpeaker: Mareike Ernst\, PhD \nThis presentation introduces the concept of intersession processes—patients’ thoughts\, feelings\, fantasies\, and internalized experiences of therapy and therapist between sessions—and examines their relevance from a contemporary psychodynamic perspective. Drawing on psychodynamic theory and empirical research\, the talk will discuss how intersession processes may illuminate clinically meaningful fluctuations in suicidal ideation\, including both protective and risk-related dynamics in outpatient treatment. Particular attention will be given to recent findings showing how both between-person and within-person variation in intersession experience can deepen our understanding of suicidal processes beyond symptom severity alone. It will further consider how the study of intersession life may open new avenues for clinically sensitive routine monitoring\, smartphone-based assessment\, and personalized interventions\, while also inviting a critical discussion of the conceptual and methodological limitations of integrating intersession-focused assessment into care.
