In brief, they found that family-level outcomes measured after applying non-family treatments didn’t just remain static (as they had expected), they actually declined. This relationship is correlational and does not necessarily mean that the treatments in question caused the decline, but the authors argue that the findings are striking enough to raise the question about whether unintended s...

I presented about our clinical services and about my work in suicide risk assessment, including how it grew out of experiences with suicidal patients in couples and families. The Center board and the faculty of the WCFR were present. The Board is unbelievable–a real dream team for family systems fans: Barbara Fiese, Ph.D., Syracuse University Nadine Kaslow, Ph.D., Emory University William Pinsof, Ph.D., Northwestern University Harry Reis, Ph.D., University of Rochester (Liaison) Frederick S. Wamboldt, M.D., National Jewish Medical Center Karen Weihs, M.D., University of Arizona Given the stature and brilliance of this audience, I was both nervous and eager to get their feedback about our clinical ser...

He has been working in the field of suicide prevention for decades and has developed an excellent set of tools for clinicians. I enjoyed the conversation because Dr. Quinnett is bright, experienced, and passionate about his work, and also because of the conceptual overlaps I observed through our conversation. Here are a few from my notes: Technology Transfer. Dr. Quinnett’s interest is technology transfer, i.e. taking what is known from the literature and clinical experience giving it legs for the working clinician and healthcare system. This the primary thrust of my evolving work, as well. I also have an interest finding the most efficient and effective pedagogical method for transferring information.�...

My ideas about how it ultimately connect back, but they’re still forming, so this is definitely a “put on your seatbelt” kind of post. For some time, I have been following the work and blog of Dave Snowden, founder of Cognitive Edge. Snowden is an scientist, theorist, and organizational consultant at the cutting edge of the Knowledge Management (KM) field. Or perhaps it would be more accurate to say that Snowden is a pioneer and visionary who is try to push KM to an entirely different dimension (call it KM 2.0). I must admit that I am still trying to get a handle on Snowden’s thinking (it’s broader and more complex than I can yet grasp), but one of the most interesting things to me about ...

One part of the conversation centered around what happens for us, as clinicians, when the patient does not fulfill his/her end of the “social contract” that is implied when someone goes to a mental health professional. The assumed contract is that the professional gets to ask all kinds of personal questions, make recommendations about intimate details of a person’s life, and the patient is expected to accurately, honestly, and completely answer our questions, cooperate with recommendations, and be appreciative in the process. In a previous post about risk and patient Choice, I offered ideas about how to approach a particular instance of patient patient choice (sometime known as “noncompl...
