Over the last decade, nonconsensual porn (NCP), or the sharing of sexually explicit material without a person’s consent, has become a growing problem with potentially far-reaching adverse consequences for victims. The purpose of this article is to propose and consider a framework for advancing the field’s understanding of NCP within the context of intimate relationships including situating NCP relative to other forms of relational abuse. Specifically, we examined the extent to which NCP in intimate partner relationships was perpetrated using tactics from the Power and Control Wheel through a summative content analysis of U.S. news stories on NCP from 2012 to 2017. This analysis established that NCP has been perpetrated using all eight of the abuse metatactics in the Power and Control Wheel, with the three most common being emotional abuse, coercion and threats, and denial/blame/minimization. Treating NCP in relationships as a potential form of partner violence provides a basis on which to understand the etiology, manifestation, motives, and impact of this form of abuse and informs practitioners’ ability to design prevention efforts and engage a trauma-informed response to survivors.
Community mental healthcare around the world has been strained as people need more help and experience more barriers to access due to COVID-19. The rapid shift to telehealth services necessitated by the pandemic has made these difficulties even more pronounced. While this transition presented challenges for nearly every healthcare system, it has proven especially difficult for low resource settings such as community health centers. This article is a critical observational study of the care transformation of a state-funded safety net psychiatric system responding to the clinical needs of patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. By discussing the challenges, opportunities, and creative solutions for staff and patients, the article highlights the new importance of technology and adaptability in clinical care and outlines clear recommendations to ensure vulnerable populations do not fall into the “digital divide.”

This manuscript is intended to serve as a tutorial for programs seeking to create and implement a didactic curriculum in the field of Digital Psychiatry. To accomplish this task, this work includes a narrative description of a Digital Psychiatry Interest Group as well as the components of the developed didactic curriculum. This curriculum was taught to separate psychiatry residency training classes, with solicited feedback through surveys. The survey data is further discussed on trainee response to this new residency curriculum. Our hope is that other psychiatry programs can use this tutorial as a template to further trainees’ knowledge in this growing field.
over 400 people gathered at the Yale School of Medicine to attend the nation's first trainee-led multidisciplinary Women's Mental Health Conference. The audience was composed of advocates, researchers, clinicians, and community members from across the nation and world. The conference commenced with a keynote by V (formerly Eve Ensler), recognized globally for her advocacy to end gender-based violence and as the author of The Vagina Monologues. The conference was free and open to the public. Following V's rousing keynote, attendees separated into small groups. They participated in learning sessions created by a wide range of women's mental health professionals, who shared their personal experiences and expertise on topics such as human trafficking, perinatal mental health, and eating disorders. The conference also touched upon pressing contemporary issues in women's mental health, including the effect of colorism on women of color, transwomen's mental health, and the intersections of culture, race, and gender.During the preceding year, a planning committee of 20 graduate students (from the schools of medical, public health, and law), undergraduate students, and resident physicians (from the departments of psychiatry, obstetrics, and gynecology) organized the conference to increase awareness and training on the wide range of unique mental health issues affecting women. The overarching goals of the conference were to create a community across multiple disciplines to discuss ways of collaboration to improve women's mental health, provide attendees with practical skills, and highlight the contributions of women's mental health advocates, researchers, and clinicians.
