"Active inference for psychiatrists and other humans." - Ryan O'Leary (17-03-2025)

Abstract: The most useful clinical tools in psychotherapy, including the many forms of cognitive behavioral therapy were developed from a confluence of theories that anticipated and approximated active inference. The consilience with active inference of constructs in network modeling, predictive processing, information theory, and neuroscience provide the most compelling new models of emotion, cognition, behavior, and psychopathology. Explaining active inference and its importance to clinicians and others without a strong mathematical orientation can be challenging. Dr. O'Leary is seeking to provide accurate, yet diverse examples of how to conceptualize active inference in order to promote the importance of applying it to case formulations in clinical practice. Speaker Bio: Ryan O'Leary, MD, is a psychiatrist with a masters degree in ecology and evolutionary biology from the University of Kansas, a science communicator and host of the PsyDactic family of podcast, who is working to develop resources for psychiatrists and other behavioral health workers to understand the importance of active inference and Bayesian reasoning to psychiatric clinical practice.
