Speaker: 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”.

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.
