The Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality (CAMS) is one of a handful of suicide-focused clinical treatments with extensive clinical trial support. CAMS is a therapeutic framework that focuses on patient-identified "drivers" of what makes them suicidal. CAMS is patient centered and focuses on empathy, collaboration, and honesty. As an outpatient intervention CAMS is designed to form a strong clinical alliance and to increase motivation in the patient with helpful clinical documentation that reduces the risk of malpractice liability.

Since the 1980s, cognitive psychology has increasingly become embodied from a variety of standpoints. This talk will show how the results of embodied cognition and spontaneous thought “demystify” many of the attributes Jung described in his archetype theory, making archetype theory not only more comprehensible but clinically applicable in addictions and other emotional challenges. Combining approaches suggests new avenues of inquiry for experimental research and enriches the psychoanalytic perspective.

This webinar will briefly review research on CBT for treating suicidal patients. Particular attention will be paid to development of the CBT elements of a safety plan in a depressed patient. Managing hopeless cognitions will be explored with participants.
