SUMMARY:Brown Bag Lunch Series | The Subject of Suicide:  What’s Going on in the Mind of the Suicidal Patient?
DESCRIPTION:with Robert Brill\, LCSW\, NCPsyA \nWednesday\, June 24th\, 2026 | 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM EST \nOn Zoom Only – 1 CE \nParticipation is FREE \n$17 Admin Fee for each CE \nRegistration closes June 24TH at 10:00 AM EST \n\n  \n“WHAT’S GOING ON IN THE MIND OF THE SUICIDAL PATIENT ?” \nThis is a question many of us want to understand\, particularly as it applies to our patients\, ourselves\, and the world at large. \nTwo British practitioners\, one a psychiatrist/psychoanalyst and the other an analyst specializing in work with children and adolescents\, write a penetrating treatment of the subject. The title is Working in the Dark: Understanding the Pre-suicide State of Mind\, by Donald Campbell and Rob Hale\, which explores the pre-suicidal mind of the individual. \nWe know that understanding the mind of our patients gives us insight into their lives\, their emotions\, and their aims in life. More than a few of my patients have contemplated suicide; some have even tried it. There are some that have succeeded. This has a profound effect on the therapist. \nAt our Brown Bag Lunch\, we will examine Freud’s views on the subject of suicide\, and how it is a form of acting out. We will consider the warning signs for suicide\, and what possible ingredients might go into the mind of the person considering suicide. Of course\, it is important to understand the ways the transference/countertransference dynamic plays into this clinical situation. \nThere are other ideas that we should explore as well. It would do us good to consider the anguish that leads individuals to consider suicide. It is also important to think about the role that hope plays in the individual who makes a suicidal plan. Looking at the history of studying suicide also tells us a good bit about where we’ve been and where we’re going on the subject. \nCourse Objectives – Participants will be able to: \n\nIDENTIFY AND DESCRIBE The common warning signs associated with suicide risk.\nEXPLAIN the “three wishes” often experienced by individuals considering suicide and discuss how these wishes inform clinical understanding and intervention.\nRECOGNIZE AND REFLECT on countertransference reactions that may arise when working with suicidal individuals\, and discuss how awareness of these reactions can enhance assessment\, treatment\, and therapeutic engagement.\n\n\nRobert Brill\, LCSW\, NCPsyA\, is a practicing\, licensed clinical social worker and psychoanalyst based in Louisville\, Kentucky. He trained at the Kentucky Psychoanalytic Institute and the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. \nBrill is an Advanced Certificate Candidate at ACAP and has been taking classes since 2020. He has worked in addictions treatment\, leading groups focused on family-of-origin work. Brill has been in private practice in the Louisville area since 1993\, working with individuals\, couples\, and groups. \nEmail: brillrs@gmail.com \n  \nACAP is an approved CE provider for: \nArt Therapists \nCounselors \nMarriage and Family Counselors \nPsychoanalysts \nSocial Workers \nNY Creative Arts Therapists \nPsychologists \nClick here for full information on \nCE @ ACAP/BGSP-NJ \n\n\nFor questions or additional information\, \ncontact us at events@acapnj.org or 973-629-1002. \n\nLearn about ACAP’s CE programs and nationally accredited \nPsychoanalytic Certificate program: \nwww.acapnj.org \nLearn about BGSP-NJ’s regionally accredited MA’s in \nClinical Mental Health Counseling and in Psychoanalysis: \nnj.bgsp.edu

Case material and interactive discussion will support the application of concepts to clinical practice. \nCourse Objectives – Participants will be able to:\nIDENTIFY: the developmental tasks necessary for emotional maturation throughout the lifespan. \nASSESS: events that may lead to developmental failures. \nRECOGNIZE: how obstacles and events lead to emotional maturation or maladaptive patterns throughout the lifespan. \n\nMeet Your Instructor\nLisa Thomas\nLPC\, LPAT\, SCPsyA\, ATR-BC\, ACS\, ATCS\, NCPsyA \nAfter earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Corcoran School of Art\, Lisa began her journey into the mental health field by earning a Master of Science in Art Therapy from the College of New Rochelle. Her keen interest in the unconscious led her to become a Modern Psychoanalyst\, receiving a certificate from the Academy of Clinical and Applied Psychoanalysis in 2015. She then earned a Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling from Boston Graduate School of Psychoanalysis–New Jersey. \nFor the past 25 years\, Lisa has worked at Essex County Hospital Center as an art therapist serving adults with severe and persistent mental illness.
