Invited Speaker Workshop with Nancy McWilliams and Michael Garrett

Apr. 11, 2026 10:00 am – 4:00 pm

Helping Patients with Paranoia: Clinical Implications of Psychotic and Nonpsychotic Paranoid Psychologies The speakers invite clinicians to approach paranoia as a deeply intrapsychic process of disavowal and projection, often related to trauma and inadequate psychological separation from early caregivers. Although most visible in psychosis, nonpsychotic paranoid states of mind are common. Dr. McWilliams and Dr. Garrett offer a rare opportunity and a significant contribution to understanding paranoia with depth and complexity that impacts the possibilities for treatment.
