Online IOP for College Students and Emerging Adults in MA & VT
Presenter: Robert J. Gregory, MD
Engaging 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 shares 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.
