2025 Risk Avoidance & Risk Management Conference is March 8th!  Register today!

The Massachusetts Psychiatric Society (MPS) will host its annual Psychotherapy Conference on Saturday, March 8, 2025, from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. virtually. 

We are pleased to present the 2025 Risk Avoidance & Management Conference. This is the Massachusetts Psychiatric Society’s annual risk management conference with its successful record spanning decades. The conference focuses on actual issues faced by practicing psychiatrists. The conference aims to increase the understanding of various roles of psychiatrists interfacing with the law and regulatory agencies and to foster appreciation of the challenges of psychiatrists in court. Each year experts review timely and relevant risk management issues. We utilize several didactic lectures with significant time for questions raised by conference attendees to foster learning.

This year, topics addressed will include: Dr. Thomas Gutheil will review major issues relevant to general risk management and fielding participant risk management questions; Dr. Chinmoy Gulrajani will discuss disability assessment and posttraumatic stress disorder; Dr. Renee Sorrentino will discuss practical considerations for the general practitioner related to problematic sexual behaviors in patients; Attorney Joshua Abrams will provide guidance on issues related to patient incapacity, surrogate decision makers, health care proxies, and guardianship, in psychiatric practice; Dr. Andrew Nanton will discuss issues related to artificial intelligence and its impact on clinical care and patient interactions; and Dr. James Luccarelli will review indications and risk considerations in neurotherapeutic treatments, including electroconvulsive therapy, transcranial magnetic imaging, and ketamine treatment.
