The DAP Training Committee is pleased to announce that we will be joined by Dr. Quentin Reynolds as our presenter. This training will focus on developing psychiatrically appropriate working relationships with clients with serious and persistent mental illness (SPMI), particularly personality disorders. Dr. Reynolds will discuss developing trust with a client, creating appropriate boundaries and managing expectations, and how to have productive conversations (interviews) with clients with SPMI.

Dr. Reynolds is currently a general/adult psychiatry program senior resident at Mt. Sinai - Beth Israel Hospital in New York City. He will be joining New York Presbyterian Hospital in July 2023 as a post-doctoral residency fellow in the child and adolescent psychiatry program, with a focus in personality disorders and trauma.

Dr. Reynolds is a graduate from University of North Carolina - Asheville with a BA in Psychology and minor in Neuroscience, obtained his MD from University of North Carolina School of Medicine and has spent the last 3 years in NYC, treating patients in both inpatient and outpatient behavioral health settings. Dr. Reynolds spends the remainder of his time teaching medical students and residents in Introduction to Psychiatry and Trauma-Informed Care. 

The training will be 90 minutes and the last 30 minutes of the training will be a discussion of questions and hypothetical scenarios based on advocates' lived experiences. In the interest of time, the training committee will provide the questions and hypos to Dr. Reynolds in advance. 

If you have a question or a hypo you would like Dr. Reynolds to discuss, please email your suggestions to Alicia Merrill at amerrill@midpenn.org.
