1/4 Today, I earned my Master of Science in Clinical Research Methods from Fordham University! 🎓 This milestone feels especially meaningful because my path through higher education has been non-linear.

Yesterday, I attended my final class at Fordham University, and next weekend, I will graduate with my Master of Science in Clinical Research Methods! 🎓🎉

An important reminder for the field: We must integrate diverse stakeholder perspectives (community clinicians, clients, loved ones, etc) to keep PD research person-centered, compassionate, and clinically useful. x.com/embpd/status...

What is it like to experience long-term psychodynamic #psychotherapy? A study in Psychotherapy found that treatment supported self-compassion and relationships, but was emotionally and financially challenging.

PSA for academics: if you get a conference invite from "scientexevents" (Gmail address, vague "international neuroscience & mental health meeting," generic flattery about your recent paper) — it's a predatory conference scam. Delete, don't reply.

I'm at NASSPD 2026 in Toronto this Friday (April 24) with two talks. Session O1 at 10:45am is on distress tolerance change during partial hospital treatment. Session O3 at 3:25pm is on AMPD coverage of borderline personality disorder. Come say hello if you're there 👋

NASSPD is accepting submissions for our 2026 conference in Toronto, April 24-25th! See nasspd.org/conference for conference information and submission portal. Talks (individual, symposia, data blitz) and clinical workshops due Nov 1st. Posters due Dec 1st. Hope to see you there!

My paper "Powering the Circumplex" was just accepted at Assessment! 🎉 It's a practical guide to sample size planning for the Structural Summary Method with an R package (github.com/kimberlyjg/s...) & web calculator (kjgilbert01.shinyapps.io/shiny/). Data & code: osf.io/63wyf

You don’t have to be psychodynamic to care about better diagnosis. My new post asks why DSM-6 is chasing solutions the PDM-3 has already worked out: capacities over symptoms, severity over labels, and formulations that actually help treatment. kimberlyjgilbert.substack.com/p/designing-...

They argue that PF can't both capture what PDs share and distinguish PD from other disorders, but that only holds if PF is a statistical summary. If it's a developmental capacity, being specific in origin and broad in consequence isn't a contradiction. That's how development works.

The construct 'personality functioning' is currently not logically defined: https://osf.io/zncr7

This was a great read. One disanalogy: classifying an animal doesn't change the animal, but diagnosing a person reshapes their property profile — self-concept, behavior, social role, treatment all shift. The atlas is reactive: superimposing structure changes the landscape you're mapping.

Hey friends, my new paper was just published in JAMA Psychiatry. I draw on biological species classification to sketch a new framework for psychiatric nosology. Brief summary follows below. Full text link: jamanetwork.com/journals/jam... 🧪 #PsychSciSky #MentalHealth

Antagonism is a coherent factor between persons. Within persons it splits: hostile aggression on one side, entitlement fused with insecurity on the other. Why? I think the divergence tells us something specific about timescale and process. New post: kimberlyjgilbert.substack.com/p/the-conver...

For everyone navigating BPD who has ever felt both rescued and trapped by a diagnosis. The science of classification is changing. The voices of lived experience should be shaping how. On what we gain and lose as psychiatry moves toward dimensions. 🔗 kimberlyjgilbert.substack.com/p/the-name-t...

A lot of arguments about “personality functioning” are actually arguments about three different things: • a developmental construct • the DSM-5 LPF • the questionnaires used to measure it The field keeps using the same phrase for all three. New post: kimberlyjgilbert.substack.com/p/the-constr...

These captchas just keep getting harder #rstats

Energy was the most predictable affective state here and negative affect was the hardest. If passive sensing is better at tracking energy and activation than valence, maybe the path to clinical utility runs through fatigue monitoring rather than mood tracking 🤔

Thank you for the kind birthday messages 🎂 I'm finally starting to understand the uncontrollable urge to complain about back problems.

This is great. The hardest version of this problem isn't choosing between process and product. It's that you often can't tell which one you're looking at until after you've skipped it. Sitting with messy data feels like a bottleneck, but it might be where your understanding quietly takes shape.

New post! "Valuing the Process vs. the Product in Research," in which I try to describe some of the tensions around using GenAI/LLMs in scientific research, and why it can be so difficult to have productive conversations on the topic. getsyeducated.substack.com/p/valuing-th...

Clinical psychology depends on scientific evidence, but research from @chopwood.bsky.social et al. suggests that the kinds of data most commonly produced may not always align with what clinicians find most useful in practice. Read the article in American Psychologist: doi.org/10.1037/amp0...
