Speaker(s):

Lloyd Sederer, MD

Presentation: My talk on Four Secrets of Mental Health Care uses patient stories, historical incidents and notable people, books and movies, and research findings to support each of the secrets, which I stress are hidden in plain sight. They are: 1) Behavior serves a purpose; 2) The power of attachment; 3) As a rule, less is more; and 4) Chronic stress is the enemy.

Objectives:

  • Identify 4 “secrets” hiding in plain sight to improve mental health care.
  • Describe how action can be taken to improve patient care.
  • Illustrate the “secrets” with science, clinical examples, stories, etc.
