Tyler Durns
About
Tyler Durns, M.D., is a psychiatrist based in Salt Lake City, Utah, with clinical and scholarly interests spanning psychosis, violence risk assessment, suicide, and the intersection of mental illness with legal and institutional systems. His work reflects a sustained focus on some of the more complex and contested areas of psychiatric practice, including the use of psychiatric holds, readmission risk following inpatient care, and the historical and social forces that have shaped institutionalization in the United States.
Dr. Durns has published across a range of peer-reviewed venues, including the International Journal of Law and Psychiatry, Focus, History of Psychiatry, and BMC Medical Education, among others. His published work addresses topics such as violence risk associated with hallucinogens, frameworks for understanding mental illness and violence, suicide risk following inpatient discharge, and the effects of temporary psychiatric holds on patient outcomes. He has also contributed to research on psilocybin-assisted group psychotherapy in oncology patients and on how psychiatric training programs responded to the COVID-19 pandemic. He is licensed to practice medicine in Utah.
