For many health care providers within the acute psychiatric care system (especially trainees) there is moral injury that results from dehumanizing people to meet administrative/financial needs of large institutions. I did research and wrote a paper on this my last year of residency. Our comfort with a carceral model in mental health care is a real challenge to healing. Having spent years working in inpatient and emergency psychiatry, it takes a true expert with a huge heart to work in the ER in a way that invites and encourages people in crisis instead of forcing and detaining them. North Carolina has some of the most liberal involuntary commitment laws in the country and these are deployed for administrative convenience with regularity in health systems of all types. The historic shortage of emergency room space means involuntary commitment to get patients to any hospital that will take them is the norm. Meaning individuals go to the ER voluntarily and then cannot leave voluntarily and are taken by law enforcement to any inpatient facility in the state that will accept them. Sometimes people are a true danger to themselves and others and this is necessary. But nobody should ever be trapped against their will to profit a large corporation - this is happening now and it has to stop. We need legislative solutions - Acadia is opening a large hospital in Eastern NC and we need NC legislators to support patients’ rights as a counterbalance to a company that appears to be willing to trample them for profit.

Patent attorney | Neuroscientist | Adjunct Professor | Mental Health Advocate, Educator, Writer, and Speaker
In March of 2020, as the rest of the world went into lockdown from COVID-19, I went into a psychiatric hospital. What I experienced was more like incarceration than a voluntary commitment. And I’m not alone. A recent research article by Morgan C. Shields and Kelly Davis in the Journal of Patient Experience reported responses from a survey of former patients of inpatient psychiatric facilities. I summarize their findings and share some of my own experiences on my Psychology Today blog. #mentalhealth #mentalhealthadvocacy #voluntarycommitment #involuntarycommitment

Say, you are a 26-27 yo clinical psychologist at a psychiatric hospital. You observe that one of the students is talking to a young inmate writing something. You know it is not in practice to be talking to anyone without permission. So, how would you approach and with what gestures given you are a CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST. What factors should you consider before you call her to question? Note: The age of the student is not known to you, you don't know what she is talking about. You are also not aware if they know the rules properly as no such session was ever conducted by you. _____ This is what #Claude by Anthropic generated~ As a 26-27 year old #clinicalpsychologist at a psychiatric hospital, I would approach this situation carefully, considering several factors: 1. Safety: The primary concern is ensuring the safety of both the student and the inmate. 2. Hospital protocols: While I'm aware that talking to inmates without permission isn't standard practice, I need to confirm the exact rules and potential exceptions. 3. Context: I don't know the nature of their interaction or the content of their conversation. 4. Student's knowledge: I'm unsure if the student has been properly informed about the rules. 5. Potential therapeutic value: There might be a legitimate reason for their interaction that I'm unaware of. 6. Power dynamics: As a psychologist, I need to be mindful of my authority and how it might affect the situation. Approach: 1. I would calmly walk towards them, maintaining a neutral facial expression and open body language. 2. I'd make my presence known by clearing my throat or saying a gentle "Excuse me" as I approach. 3. I would maintain a relaxed posture, with my hands visible and not crossed, to appear non-threatening. 4. I'd make eye contact with both the student and the inmate, acknowledging their presence equally. 5. My tone would be curious and professional rather than accusatory. I might say something like: "Hello, I noticed you two talking. I'm Dr. [Name], one of the psychologists here. Could you tell me a bit about what's going on?" This approach allows me to assess the situation without immediately assuming wrongdoing. It gives the student a chance to explain and potentially reveal any misunderstandings about #protocol. It also respects the inmate's presence and #dignity. Before deciding to question the student further, I would consider: 1. The student's response and body language 2. The inmate's reaction to my presence 3. Any immediate safety concerns 4. The need to consult with colleagues or supervisors about the exact protocols 5. The potential impact on the student's education or the inmate's treatment My goal would be to ensure safety and adherence to protocol while also maintaining a supportive and educational environment for both the student and the inmate. _____ It is strange that today an #AI has better manners than a trained #psychologist! #professionalbehaviour #communication #peoplemanagement

The Lack of Parity in Psychiatric Care An important new study, “Behavioral Health Parity – Pervasive Disparities in Access to In Network Care Continue” finds that people seeking care for mental health and substance use disorders pay more for that care and face more barriers to accessing that care than people seeking care for medical/surgical (M/S) conditions. Just a few of the key findings: patients went out of network 8.9 times more frequently for psychiatrists than for M/S physicians; M/S physicians were paid 24.9% more than psychiatrists for comparable office visits; physician assistants delivering M/S care were paid 18.7% more than psychiatrists delivering care of comparable complexity. We have a lot of work to do to reach parity and equity and to create an environment where patients can receive the care they need and deserve. https://lnkd.in/eDCMmbV4
