His books include: Love’s Execu- E tioner, The Theory and Practice of Group Therapy, Existential Psychotherapy, Y When Nietzsche Wept, The Schopenhauer Cure, Lying on the Couch, The Gift N of Therapy, Momma and the Meaning of Life, Staring at the Sun, and his lat- O est teaching novel, The Spinoza Problem. Dr. Yalom also continues his private T practice, with offices in Palo Alto and San Francisco. He believes that a different therapy must be constructed for each patient because each has a unique story. As the years pass, E this attitude moves him farther and farther from the center of professional psychiatry, which is now “so fiercely driven by economic forces in precisely opposite directions—namely accurate de -individualizing (symptom-based) diagnosis and uniform, protocol-driven, brief therapy for all.”

Pre-Conference Tuesday, December 10 PRE-CONFERENCE 8:30 AM-12:30 PM DANCING WITH THE RISKS: Safe Steps; Tricky Steps; Landmines (Part I) STEVEN FRANKEL, PHD, JD This workshop in law, ethics and regulation focuses on three of the four most frequent causes for actions against mental health professionals, nationwide. Since the 2010-2011 law/ethics/regulation workshop focused primarily on boundary violations (including sexual contact between professional and patient/client), this 2013 workshop focuses on incompetence, criminal convictions and cases involving high-conflict custody problems. The workshop emphasizes awareness and management of risk factors in the major areas of high risk practice via music videos illustrating the principles taught in the program. These include coping with negative publicity on the Internet, the risks of “creative” techniques, riskier vs. safer models of intervention, coping with the need to “rescue” patients/clients, management of angry/dissatisfied patients/clients, and more.

WORKSHOP 5 AN INTRODUCTION TO MOTIVATIONAL INTERVIEWING WILLIAM MILLER, PHD Through lecture, demonstration, and experiential exercises, Dr. Miller will introduce key concepts from the latest (3rd) edition of Motivational Interviewing.

WORKSHOP 6 WHY WON’T ADLER DIE? Effective Therapy Using a Time-Tested Approach JON CARLSON, PSYD, EDD Freud, Jung and Adler were the originators of psychotherapy. Adlerian psychotherapy is an effective brief therapy model that is still popular around the world as it integrates successful interventions from many other approaches. Adler’s ideas highlight the importance of not only understanding the individual but the social context. This approach emphasizes working from a multi-cultural orientation and highlights personal responsibility. This approach uses a four-step process: Engagement, Assessment, Insight, and Reorientation. The focus of the treatment is positive as the therapist uses encouragement strategies to help the client identify their assets and strengths. DVD examples of actual sessions will be used to highlight the process and demonstrate how short-term change is possible with this approach.

WORKSHOP 7 NECESSARY AND SUFFICIENT: The Key Elements of Lasting Change in Couple Therapy SUE JOHNSON, EDD A corrective emotional experience of responsiveness and connection is necessary and sufficient to create lasting shifts not only in relationship satisfaction but also in attachment security in couple therapy. Therapists can shape new emotions and new interactions that change both partners and how they connect. We can, at last, shape the bonds of love.

10:00 AM -11:30 AM TRAUMA, SPIRITUALITY AND RECOVERY PRESENTER: DONALD MEICHENBAUM, PHD DISCUSSANT: ERVING POLSTER, PHD The major way that people cope with trauma in North America is to use some form of religious or spiritual rituals and meaning- making activities. In this workshop, Dr. Meichenbaum will consider both the positive and negative modes of spritual coping, ways to assess for client’s spirituality and ways to integrate spiri- tually-based interventions into psychotherapy, where indicated.

11:45 AM-1:15 PM PSYCHOTHERAPY’S EVOLUTION: Beyond Pathology into the Landscape of Living PRESENTER: ERVING POLSTER, PHD DISCUSSANT: JEAN HOUSTON, PHD Huge numbers of people want to KNOW their lives as much as they want to CHANGE. This need to KNOW, long overshadowed in therapy by pathology, is evident every day in: ordinary conversation, the arts, the mindfulness movement and religion. History now calls for therapy’s attention to basic themes of living through the design of Life Focus Communities. Lunch Break 2:30-5:30 PM WORKSHOP 8 TOWARD THE COUPLES’ TREATMENT OF INFIDELITY: A Gottman Method Therapy JOHN GOTTMAN, PHD AND JULIE GOTTMAN, PHD This workshop begins by presenting the theory of how couples build trust and loyalty or how they erode trust and build a culture of secrecy and betrayal. The three-stage Atone-Attune-Attach Ther- apy is then presented, and demonstrated with a case.

WORKSHOP 9 TRANSFERENCE FOCUSED PSYCHOTHERAPY OF SEVERE PERSONALITY DISORDERS OTTO KERNBERG, MD This workshop will outline the differential diagnosis and main features of the group of severe personality disorders and describe an empirically studied, effective psychodynamic psychotherapy as correspondent treatment. The strategies, techniques and tactics of TFP will be described, with particular reference to crisis management and the fundamental approach to transference/ countertransference developments.

WORKISHOP 10 ADVANCES IN THE PRACTICE OF STRATEGIC THERAPY CLOE MADANES, Licenciada en Psicologia, HDL Madanes will present new and classic interventions in Strategic Therapy with an emphasis on the healing power of relationships. She will narrate detailed cases with step-by-step procedures that can be learned and incorporated into a therapist’s practice. There will be experiential exercises, demonstrations and audience discussion.

WORKSHOP 11 THE RNA/DNA EPIGENETIC DIALOGUES OF THE CREATIVE UNCONSCIOUS: Are Quantum Dynamics Involved? ERNEST ROSSI, PHD, KATHRYN ROSSI, PHD, and BRUCE GREGORY, PHD What is Life? What is Consciousness? Theory, research and practice of Psychosocial Genomics are outlined as the next step in the Evolution of Psychotherapy. A live group demonstration of how to facilitate gene expression and brain plasticity by optimizing the 4-stage creative process for 20 minutes will be experienced by everyone.

WORKSHOP 12 GLOBAL OR OVERGENERAL THINKING AND MENTAL HEALTH: The Therapeutic Merits of Concreteness and Specificity MICHAEL YAPKO, PHD Why does a grown adult need to be reminded by a therapist that he or she no longer needs to feel or act like a helpless child? Why does someone treat a new boyfriend or girlfriend unfairly as if he or she is the same as the last one who hurt him or her? One answer: Global thinking. Most people - therapists included - are global thinkers, people who metaphorically “see the forest but not the trees.” Global thinking is highly correlated with depression as well as PTSD. It’s also a basis for giving bad therapeutic advice. What forms does global thinking take, and what can therapists do to address this cognitive style? In this workshop, we will consider the role of global thinking on diverse symptom presentations, do an exercise in building and teaching discrimina- tion criteria, and highlight the importance of teaching concrete and specific skills in making dis- tinctions that lead to improved decisions and, subsequently, better mental health.

WORKSHOP 13 SUCCESSFUL WEIGHT LOSS AND MAINTENANCE: A CBT Skills Building Approach JUDITH BECK, PHD and DEBORAH BECK BUSIS, LCSW This experiential workshop presents a cognitive behavioral program based on evidence-based strategies. It is aimed at facilitating change in dieters’ thinking and behavior so they can make permanent changes in their eating. Essential skills building techniques help dieters motivate themselves daily, use good eating habits, deal with hunger, craving, and emotional eating, and get back on track immediately will be illustrated. Issues of reluctance, unfairness, deprivation, disappointment, discouragement, rebellion and other roadblocks to success will also be discussed.

WORKSHOP 14 TREATMENT OF INDIVIDUALS WITH PTSD AND COMORBID PSYCHIATRIC DISORDERS: A Constructive Narrative Perspective DONALD MEICHENBAUM, PHD This workshop will critically evaluate the controversies concerning the concept of PTSD, and the “state of the art” concerning alternative treatment approaches. Dr. Meichenbaum will demonstrate how to implement an integrated treatment approach using a constructive narrative perspective that builds on the client’s strengths.

2:30-4:00 PM CAN WE TREAT NEUROTICISM? PRESENTER: DAVID BARLOW, PHD DISCUSSANT: FRANCINE SHAPIRO, PHD Neurotic disorders dominated the landscape of psychopathology for almost a century before dying a sudden and traumatic death in 1980 with the publication of the DSM III. Now researchers de- lineated empirically supported common dimensions shared by all anxiety, mood, and related emotional disorders, including higher order temperaments, mood distortions, and extensive patterns of avoidance. In this presentation, Dr. Barlow suggests a new integrated diagnostic scheme and the identification of psychological treatment principles targeting temperament directly.

4:15-5:45 PM ESSENTIALS OF TRAUMA THERAPY PRESENTER: FRANCINE SHAPIRO, PHD DISCUSSANT: DAVID BARLOW, PHD It is important for therapists to fully evaluate the entire clinical pic- ture when treating the trauma victim. This includes not only the overt symptoms directly associated with the traumatic event, but potential problems in relationships and deficits in sense of self. Ultimately, it is important to address and foster health of body, mind, emotion and spirit. Case examples, research, and client videos will be used to illustrate the procedures and comprehensive treatment effects that foster personal and relational development.

WORKSHOP 15 FUNDAMENTALS OF EMDR THERAPY AS AN INTEGRATIVE TRAUMA TREATMENT FRANCINE SHAPIRO, PHD EMDR therapy is widely recognized as an effective trauma treatment by organizations such as the World Health Organization and the Department of Defense. In addition, 20 randomized trials demonstrate the positive effects of the eye movement component. Unlike other empirically supported approaches, it is unnecessary for the client to describe the trauma memory in detail or do daily homework to achieve positive effects. This presentation will demonstrate the eight phases of EMDR treatment with both adults and children through discussion, exercises and client videotapes.

WORKSHOP 16 THE HERO’S JOURNEY AS A ROADMAP FOR MANAGING CRISIS AND HEALING ROBERT DILTS, BA The Hero’s Journey is an archetypal path of individual transformation. It is a map that shows the stages of our personal process of evolution. These stages are revealed time and again in myths and legends in all cultures throughout the history of humanity. While the structure of these stages is universal, the expression is completely unique for each individual. This workshop will explore how the stages of the Hero’s Journey can be applied to manage times of crisis and support healing.

WORKSHOP 17 HEIGHTENED ATTENTION: Elixir of Therapeutic Growth ERVING POLSTER, PHD Dr. Polster will describe an attention triad of concentration, fascination and curiosity, showing how each contributes to a quasi-hypnotic conversational fluidity, reducing old influence and inviting new experience. While these are foundational, he will also spell out some specific therapeutic guidelines that have embodied his therapeutic work, illustrating this with live therapy demonstrations.

WORKSHOP 18 COGNITIVE THERAPY FOR CHALLENGING PROBLEMS JUDITH S. BECK, PHD This interactive workshop presents a method for identifying, conceptualizing, and solving common problems in treatment. What do you do when patients present difficulties—for example, when they don’t do homework, get angry at the therapist, are afraid to reveal, go off on tangents, arrive late to session, demand special entitlements, engage in self-harm behaviors between sessions, jump from one crisis to another? Specialized techniques, adapted from psychodynamic, supportive, Gestalt, interpersonal, and other psychotherapeutic modalities, are often needed.

WORKSHOP 19 IT TAKES ONE TO TANGO: Doing Couples Therapy with Individuals Michele Weiner-Davis, MSW, LCSW That only one partner is willing to seek relationship therapy should not deter therapists, since there is much that can be accomplished. In fact, there are occasions when working with only one partner is preferable. This workshop will explore these situations and offer therapists a conceptual framework for conducting relationship-oriented sessions with one partner present.

WORKSHOP 21 TREATMENT OF INDIVIDUALS WITH ANGER-CONTROL PROBLEMS AND AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIORS: A Life-Span Treatment Approach Donald Meichenbaum, PhD How do you make a violent individual and what are the implications for both prevention and treatment, using a life-span perspective. This workshop will demonstrate how to use evidence-based interventions with angry and aggressive children, adolescents and adults. A major focus will be on ways to bolster generalization and maintenance of treatment effects.

8:30 AM-10:00 AM THE DSV-V PROPOSAL FOR PERSONALITY DISORDERS CLASSIFICATION PRESENTER: OTTO KERNBERG, MD DISCUSSANT: DAVID BARLOW, PHD Dr. Kernberg proposes that the DSM-V proposal is a helpful ad- vance in the understanding of personality disorders, in spite of internal inconsistencies in its “hybrid model” basis. At the bot- tom, the psychiatric research community is struggling with a lack of an integrated conception of the development and structure of the personality.

10:15 AM-11:45 AM FACILITATING THE RNA/DNA EPIGENETICS OF CREATING NEW CONSCIOUSNESS IS THE NEXT STEP IN THE EVOLUTION OF PSYCHOTHERAPY PRESENTER: ERNEST ROSSI, PHD DISCUSSANT: CLOÉ MADANES, LIC. PSIC. Restricting psychotherapy to the limitations of the cognitive- behavioral level is becoming a disservice to psychology. We must embrace the bioinformatics of the new technological devices that make it possible to assess and facilitate the dynamics of gene expression and brain plasticity economically within a single session of psychotherapy.

Lunch Break 1:00-4:00 PM WORKSHOP 22 DIALECTICAL BEHAVIOR THERAPY (DBT) MARSHA LINEHAN, PHD Part of the DBT treatment is consistent teaching and coaching individuals in very specific emotion regulation and crisis survival skills. Participants will learn an overview of the specific skills, including advances that have been made to the original skill set in DBT, and how to regulate these skills into their clinical practice.

WORKSHOP 23 IMAGO: Helping Couples Connect HARVILLE HENDRIX, PHD Each couple describes a core scene which happens over and over again from which they want relief and therapists attempt to offer it. Imago Couples Therapy posits that while each core scene is unique, the theme of each couple’s story is identical: ruptured connection and the desire for restora- tion. All symptoms are branches on this tree. This workshop will develop and demonstrate that theme and describe and demonstrate a singular intervention that helps couples restore connection.

WORKSHOP 24 PERSPECTIVE TAKING IN PSYCHOTHERAPY STEVEN HAYES, PHD This workshop will link the work in a science of perspective taking, to work in mindfulness and acceptance-based psychotherapy, drawing especially on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I will show how perspective taking can rapidly overcome barriers in psychotherapy, and when to deploy these methods, and to understand the cognitive basis of perspective taking skills.

1:00-4:00 PM cont’d WORKSHOP 25 THE THREE POSTIVE CONNECTIONS NEEDED FOR CRATIVE CHANGE STEPHEN GILLIGAN, PHD Psychotherapy is an exploration of how individuals can forge positive, therapeutic responses to life challenges. This workshop focuses on the three core connections that allow clients to do this: (1) Positive intention and goals (“towards a positive future”); (2) Somatic Centering (“embodied presence”); and (3) Field Resources (“ positive connections beyond the problem”). We will see how in a repetitive problem, all three of these connections are typically absent. More importantly, we will see how clients may be helped to developed and sustain these positive connections while engaging with challenging material—e.g., a past trauma, a present difficulty, or a future possibility. Participants will be offered multiple techniques and examples, as well as several demonstrations to illustrate this positive orientation to psychotherapy

WORKSHOP 26 ASSERTIVE DEFENSE OF THE SELF CHRISTINE PADESKY, PHD Social anxiety results from fear of criticism or rejection. Padesky teaches her treatment approach, Assertive Defense of the Self (ADS), which guides socially anxious clients in the development of coping skills giving them confidence to face criticism and rejection. This same approach can be used effectively with low self-esteem. This lively and fun workshop involves demonstrations of each step and experiential practice of ADS.

A live group demonstration of how to facilitate gene expression and brain plasticity by optimizing the 4-stage creative process will be experienced by everyone.

1:00-2:30 PM MORAL DISENGAGEMENT PRESENTER: ALBERT BANDURA, PHD DISCUSSANT: JEFFREY ZEIG, PHD

2:45-4:15 PM STRATEGIC THERAPY IS A HUMANISM PRESENTER: CLOE MADANES, LICENCIADA EN PSICOLOGIA, HDL DISCUSSANT: OTTO KERNBERG, MD Strategic Therapy is a humanism in that it is based on the concept that the human being is not predetermined by forces outside of him/herself. Respect for each individual’s self determination is the first principle of the approach. Family, chemistry, and the social context are important, yet the individual has the power to choose no matter what the circumstances. A case study will illustrate how to think and intervene in ways that are not only strategic but also humanistic.

Invited Keynote Address 1 BRAIN WARS: How Not Looking at the Brain Leads to Missed Diagnoses, Failed Treat- ments and Dangerous Behaviors DANIEL AMEN, MD By not looking at brain function in complex psychiatric cases physicians often miss important information, which leads to erroneous diagnoses and missed opportunities for effective treatment. This lecture will explore how using functional brain imaging tools improves diagnoses and opens a new world of understanding and hope for many patients.

Invited Keynote Address 2 MAPPING A COUPLES EMOTIONAL PROFILES PAUL EKMAN, PHD The phrase emotional profile refers to the unique way in which each individual experiences emotions. The profile – how quickly each person becomes emotional, how strongly each person’s emotion is registered, and three other features of each person’s profile – is similar for how the person experiences anger, fear, disgust and anguish. Mapping Emotional Pro- files -- Couple is an online interactive tool that allows a couple to examine their emotional profile when angered about a disagreement, seeing how similar their profiles are, and whether each member’s self-perception is congruent with how the other member of the couple perceives him or her.

Invited Keynote Address 4

LOVE IN A TIME OF ILLNESS DIANE ACKERMAN, PHD Dr. Ackerman will be speaking about love in a time of illness, something she has lived with for many years, and has written about in her most recent book, One Hundred Names for Love. One day Ac- kerman’s 74-year-old husband, a gifted author and professor, suffered a savage stroke. When he regained awareness he was afflicted with “global aphasia”—total loss of language—and could utter only a single syllable: “mem.” The standard therapies yielded only frustration. Diane soon found, however, that by harnessing their deep knowledge of each other, and her understanding of language and the brain, she could guide Paul back to the world of words. In the process she learned unexpected lessons about herself, their marriage, the underappreciated art of care-giving, and the brain’s ability to heal itself. By necessity, their lives changed dramatically. The challenge was to regain what could be found, re-imagine what couldn’t, and, by using unusual tools and methods, create a new love story.

Programs & Events Friday, December 13 cont’d 12:00 PM-1:00 PM cont’d Invited Address 2 FRONTIER OF TRAUMA TREATMENT BESSEL VAN DER KOLK, MD Trauma changes the way the brain processes information and how the human organism engages with the world. Because of biological systems that are altered in a use- dependent manner traumatized people continue to react in myriad ways to current experience as a replay of the past. We will explore the neurobiology of self-regulation and examine ways of befriending one’s body, both of which are essential for the integration of traumatic memories: sensations, action patterns and physical sensations derived from the past. Most experience is automatically processed on subcortical i.e. “unconscious” levels in the brain; therefore, insight and understanding have only a limited influence on people’s control over these processes. We will explore our clinical experiences and research with EMDR, yoga, theater work, and neurofeedback and present the efficacy of these various techniques.

Invited Address 3 RACIAL, GENDER & SEXUAL ORIENTATION MICROAGGRESSIONS: Implications for Clinical Practice DERALD WING SUE, PH.D. Microaggressions are brief and commonplace daily verbal, behavioral or environ- mental indignities, whether intentional or unintentional, which communicate hostile, derogatory, or negative slights to an individual or group because of their race, gender or sexual orientation. Microaggressions have been found to impair performance in the classroom, in the workplace, and in a multitude of other settings by sapping the psychic and spiritual energy of recipi- ents. In clinical practice, the most detrimental forms of microaggressions are usually delivered by well-intentioned therapists who are unaware that they have engaged in harmful conduct toward clients from a socially devalued group. These everyday occurrences may appear quite harmless and trivial, but research indicate they have a powerful impact upon the psychological well-being of marginalized groups. Everyone has committed microaggressions.

Invited Address 4 TOWARD A MINDFUL TECHNOLOGY OF CHANGE MARSHA LINEHAN, PHD

With her Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Marsha Linehan was one of the first practitioners to show how East and West could meet in the consulting room. She will address how critical it is that psychotherapists strive for both a well-being of our clients and the scientific validation of our methods.

Invited Address 5 THE EVOLUTION OF PSYCHOTHERAPY: An Oxymoron SCOTT MILLER, PHD Since the first “Evolution” conference in 1985, thousands of research studies and how-to books on psychotherapy have been published. Workshops, training programs, and certifications abound. At the same time, the overall effectiveness of psychotherapy has not improved a single percentage point. Meanwhile, practitioners face the most challenging economic practice climate in the field’s history. Incomes are down and fewer people are seek- ing psychotherapy as a remedy to their problems. In this invited address, Dr. Miller boldly asserts that the field has been looking for results in all the wrong places. After reviewing what does not work, he highlights the latest findings from the field of expertise and expert performance, docu- menting three evidence-based steps associated with superior performing clinicians. Research shows that using these steps pushes therapists to reach the next level of effectiveness.

10:40 AM-11:40 AM Invited Address 6 ON SHAPING ONE'S FUTURE ALBERT BANDURA, PHD Self-efficacy beliefs are the foundation of people’s aspirations, motivation, accom- plishments and emotional life. This address will specify how to build a resilient sense of self-efficacy, verify how they produce their effects and illustrate how this knowledge is being used for human betterment at both the individual and social systems levels.

Invited Address 7 STRENGTHS-BASED CBT: MAKING A POSITIVE DIFFERENCE CHRISTINE PADESKY, PHD We are developing strengths-based therapy approaches that use CBT principles and practices to construct new beliefs and behaviors that promote positive client growth. Changes in CBT over the past three decades provide platforms for “new” therapy methods such as constructive use of imagery, client-generated metaphors, and therapeutic use of smiling and silence. New therapy models, to (a) build resilience and (b) treat personality disorders by constructing new interpersonal beliefs and behaviors, foreshadow a trend toward CBT approaches that more explicitly help people thrive in the face of life challenges.

10:40 AM-11:40 AM cont’d Invited Address 8 GUERRILLA DIVORCE BUSTING: Working with Couples in the Trenches MICHELE WEINER-DAVIS, MSW, LCSW By the time most couples seek therapy, they’ve been dealing with relationship problems for years. Many are convinced that nothing can change; they are hopeless. How we respond at these pivotal moments has a profound effect on the ways in which people view themselves, and the viability of their marriages.

Invited Address 9 THE GREEN BOAT: Reviving Ourselves and our Capsized Culture MARY PIPHER, PHD We’ll explore the deluge tidal of information, including a great deal of traumatic information about the fate of Mother Earth, that all of us are confronted with daily. I’ll share the steps of a trauma-to-transcendence cycle that begins with awareness, leads to resilient coping and then continues to a transcendent response. This cycle always involves action and creates hope.

Invited Address 10 THE ADDICTIVE FAMILY: The Legacy of Trauma CLAUDIA BLACK, PHD When people think of trauma they often think of acute dramatic situations such as a natural disaster or acts of terrorism. Yet the majority of people who experience trauma experience a more subtle and chronic form that exists within their own family. Beginning with a genogram, Claudia Black will give a portrait of addiction in the family, offer- ing an overlay of how adverse child experiences—emotional abandonment and blatant violence— are all aspects of the trauma. She will discuss shame screens, the ways people attempt to gain power over, or succumb to, their emotional pain, incorporating how trauma is connected to multi -addictive and co-occurring disorders.

12:00 PM-1:00 PM Invited Address 11 EVIDENCE-BASED PSYCHOLOGICAL TREATMENTS: An Update and a Way Forward DAVID BARLOW, PHD For over sixty years in clinical psychology we have attempted to integrate science into practice for the benefit of the public. After a brief review of the progress we have made and the reasons for the emergence of evidence-based practice, we will consider current barriers to dissemination and implementation. These include the relative (in) efficacy of current psychological interventions, issues of comorbidity and heterogeneity of psychopathology, the ambiguity concerning mechanisms of action in treatments, a continuing emphasis on nomothetic rather than idiographic methodology, and emerging issues of implementation in clinical settings. The centrality of these issues to public health policy will dictate a marked shift in emphasis in both research and practice in the coming decade.

Invited Address 12 A NEW SCIENCE OF LOVE: A New Era for Couple Interventions SUE JOHNSON, EDD We have cracked the code of romantic love. We can precisely target interventions and shape the core defining moments of a love relationship. Adult attachment science offers a clear map to the creation of a secure lasting bond. New findings in neuroscience promise couple interventions that may be the most potent and far-reaching form of therapeutic intervention ever devised.

12:00 PM-1:00 PM cont’d Invited Address 13 THE MOTIVATION REVOLUTION DAVID BURNS, MD New research indicates that motivation influences how we think, feel, and behave as much as cognitions, and that the failure to address resistance is the cause of most therapeutic failure. Dr. Burns will describe the eight most common forms of resistance and present powerful new techniques to melt away resistance before using any cognitive, behavioral, or interpersonal techniques.

Invited Address 14 ON BECOMING A MASTER THERAPIST JON CARLSON, PSYD, EDD According to some studies, 9 out of 10 clinicians describe themselves as “above average.” Although it is probably true that they would like to be viewed as a master or an above average therapist, it is unlikely. Most counseling students plan to be master therapist's once they have put in the suggested 10,000 hours needed for mastery but few reach this enlightened state. This program will describe the process that is necessary to achieve mastery in psychotherapy. The presentation will blend research with professional interviews from acknowledged masters as well as personal discovery or wisdom.

Invited Address 15 SPIRITUALITY AND TRAUMA PETER LEVINE, PHD In the treatment of the effects of trauma, its inherent relationship with spirituality provides a vital link in the therapeutic process. The understanding of a person's, felt, spiritual connection is central to the therapeutic process. If we are unable to access a person's spirituality, we may find ourselves trapped, as therapists, in areas that are fraught with pitfalls and “tight corners.” The intimate association between trauma and spirituality suggests therapeutic avenues that support the authentic transformation of traumatic experiences. Through the use of didactic material—including brain research, experiential practice incorporating the bodily “felt-sense.” and video material, we will introduce Somatic Experiencing® as a way to reconnect with the deep self. The focus will be on developing practical tools to gracefully enhance the relationship between trauma and spirituality within the therapeutic experience.

Lunch Break 2:30-5:30 PM WORKSHOP 29 ADVANCED EMPATHY TRAINING DAVID BURNS, MD Nearly all therapists believe they are skillful at empathy, but recent research indicates this is not the case. Dr. Burns will illustrate powerful empathy techniques and provide exercises for participants to increase their skill in connecting with even the most difficult, oppositional, critical clients, as well as those experiencing profound emotional distress. Check your ego at the door if you plan to attend!

WORKSHOP 30 OUT OF THE BLUE: Six Non-Medication Ways to Relieve Depression BILL O’HANLON, MS People with depression, one of the most common problems we see, are sometimes stuck and it’s challenging to help them change. Medications don’t help all depressed people and, even when they do, they often come with uncomfortable side effects and only work partially. In this presentation, you will learn six hopeful and innovative approaches for helping people with depression to get some traction out of it.

2:30-5:30 PM cont’d WORKSHOP 31 GESTALT THERAPY WITH CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS VIOLET OAKLANDER, PHD This workshop offers an approach to working with children and adolescents that involves a variety of projective, creative and expressive techniques with Gestalt Therapy theory, philosophy and practice as the underlying framework. Included will be an overview of the Oaklander model of the therapeutic process, case material, a direct experience, and discussion.

WORKSHOP 32 TRANSFORMING NEGATIVE STATES: A Workshop in Generative Psychotherapy STEPHEN GILLIGAN, PHD This workshop presents the Ericksonian and Self-Relations Psychotherapy approach to human states of suffering--depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, etc. This practical and positive approach assumes that each core human experience has equivalent potential to be positive or negative, depending on the human relationship to it; and thus focuses on how problems may be transformed to resources by skillful human connection. This process operates at two levels: (1) developing a generative state (in the therapist, client, and relationship field) and then (2) using specific methods of transforming negative experiences and behaviors. Multiple techniques and examples for will be given, along with an exercise and demonstration.

WORKSHOP 33 AFFAIRS: Helping Couples to Heal from Infidelity MICHELE WEINER-DAVIS, MSW, LCSW If you work with couples, you’re no stranger to infidelity. And because healing from infidelity is challenging, it behooves us to have a clear roadmap of the territory. We’ll go over an array of post -affair issues, including ways to deal with intense emotions, whether to discuss the details of the betrayal, how to begin rebuilding trust in the aftermath of the discovery, whether to have clinical ultimatums about ending affairs, how to handle setbacks, and how to deal with residual feelings for the affair partner. We’ll explore a step-by-step treatment plan and discuss how to tailor it to each couple’s unique needs.

WORKSHOP 34 THE WISDOM OF BUDDHIST PSYCHOLOGY JACK KORNFIELD, AB, MED, PHD In this workshop we will explore the principles and practices of Buddhist Psychology, and how mindfulness, compassion and related practices can be applied in clinical and pragmatic ways in the West. Through teachings, case studies, stories and guided trainings, we will learn the positive strengths of these powerful approaches and experience a taste of their benefits.

WORKSHOP 35 THE BODY KEEPS SCORE: Integration of Mind, Brain, and Body in the Treatment of Trauma* BESSEL VAN DER KOLK, MD We will examine how neuroscience research has elucidated how, in the course of development, children learn to regulate their arousal systems and to focus on what is most relevant. We then will examine how trauma, abuse and neglect derail these processes and affect brain development. Since traumatic imprints are stored in subcortical brain areas and are largely divorced from verbal recall, a central focus needs to be on the somatic experiencing of trauma-related sensations and affects. These deep imprints are the engines for continuing maladaptive behaviors. Fixation on the trauma and learned helplessness require interventions aimed at restoring active mastery and the capacity to attend to the here-and-now. With the aid of videotaped demonstrations and experiential demonstrations of affect regulation techniques, we will examine the role of body-oriented therapies, neurofeedback, yoga, theater, IFS and EMDR in resolving the traumatic past and discuss the integration of these approaches during different stages of treatment.

THE PALLETTE OF THE THERAPIST PRESENTER: JEFFREY ZEIG, PHD DISCUSSANT: DONALD MEICHENBAUM, PHD When drawing on the work of Milton Erickson, therapists can enli- ven their work through the introduction of more art into the science. The artist and the therapist share similar domains: a striving to alter perception, to modify and expand perspectives, and to stir the human hear. Therapists can explore how to use untapped aspects of their medium through teasing out the connections between the palette of the artist and the traditional toolbox of the clinician. 4:15 PM-5:45 PM

8:00 AM-9:00 AM Invited Address 16 MOTIVATIONAL INTERVIEWING AND THE LANGUAGE OF CHANGE WILLIAM MILLER, PHD Motivational interviewing facilitates a natural process of “talking oneself into change.” Dr. Miller will provide an overview of the clinical method of motivational interviewing and its underlying psycholinguistic processes, based on recent research linking therapist and client in-session speech to behavioral outcomes. These dynamics appear to predict successful outcomes across a variety of psychotherapies.

Invited Address 17 A NEW WAY TO THINK ABOUT COUPLES HARVILLE HENDRIX, PHD In the old way of thinking, stressed couples were depicted as a failed communication system of interacting pathologies that could be improved by therapists dispens- ing conflict resolution skills. In the new way of thinking, couples are the source of mutual healing and the fulcrum for social transformation. This lecture will discuss how that shift occurred and its implications not only for the happiness of couples but for the relational well-being of society.

Invited Address 18 SELF, COMPASSION, AND PEACE OF MIND: The Implications of Evolution Science Steven Hayes, PhD In this talk I will argue that human beings evolved for compassion and cooperation, based in part on the impact of eusociality on human language. This view has extraor- dinary implications for how we can achieve peace of mind, placing perspective taking and compassion at the center of psychotherapy itself. Such a view has the exciting possibility of bringing together different traditions in psychotherapy that often consider themselves rivals.

Invited Address 19 WHAT BRINGS CHILDREN INTO THERAPY: A Developmental View VIOLET OAKLANDER, PHD All children are born with the capacity to develop and use all of the aspects of the organism to live healthy, productive, joyful lives. We know that trauma interrupts the healthy development of the child. There are also some very basic developmental aspects that further thwart healthy development. An understanding of these hindrances is the first step toward helping children heal.

Invited Address 20 REFOCUSED PSYCHOTHERAPY AS THE FIRST LINE OF INTERVENTION IN BEHAVIORAL HEALTH NICHOLAS CUMMINGS, PHD, SCD In the age which psychotropic medication have largely replaced psychotherapy, or medications are primary when psychotherapy is included, this presentation will demonstrate how psychotherapy alone can take precedence over medications and then achieve better outcomes than are currently being seen in our failing mental health system.

WORKSHOP 36 GOTTMAN METHOD COUPLES EFFECTIVE TREATMENT FOR SITUATIONAL DOMESTIC VIOLENCE JOHN GOTTMAN, PHD and JULIE GOTTMAN, PHD Current meta-analysis by Julia Babcock shows that same-sex group treatment for domestic violence is ineffective. Couples treatment is illegal in many states. We will present the results (and methods) for treating only situational (not characterological) domestic violence that shows high effectiveness with lasting effects after 18 months. Treatment utilizes Gottman-method curriculum with 21 sessions of couples group work.

WORKSHOP 37 REALITY IS NEGOTIABLE: Absorbing People in Positive Possibilities Michael D. Yapko, PhD In the past, hypnosis was considered by many to be the “crazy cousin nobody wanted at the therapy family picnic.” But, as the contributions of hypnosis in neuroscience (especially neurogenesis and neuroplasticity), epigenetics, clinical effectiveness, and interpersonal dynamics have steadily grown in importance, hypnosis can be identified as a core component of good therapy in what- ever form it may be delivered. Understanding the hypnotic foundations of your language and methods can make you a better therapist even if you don't formally practice hypnosis. In this workshop, we will explore some of the key insights about good therapy, including the power of positive expectancy, the importance of multi-level processing of suggestions, the potential for automatic, non-conscious responses, and the encouragement of malleability in perception. A group hypnosis experience will be provided.

WORKSHOP 38 BEYOND PATHOLOGY: The Life Focus Community ERVING POLSTER, PHD A compelling social ethos beckons psychotherapy to expand beyond pathology into the way people live their everyday lives. This workshop will illuminate psychotherapy’s inherent thrust toward the communal: people joining together to explore universal issues of living; naming themes, developing novel formats, and introducing life-defining exercises. This will include a live communal demonstration.

WORKSHOP 39 EXPLORING THE PATTERN THAT CONNECTS: The Genius of Gregory Bateson & Gabrielle Roth ROBERT DILTS, BA The late Gabrielle Roth, founder of the 5 Rhythms movement practice, was a quintessential woman of the body and sometimes called an “urban shaman.” Gregory Bateson was an iconic man of the mind and a foundational contributor to most modern methods of systemic therapy. Bateson and Roth interacted at Esalen in the legendary times during the late 1970s and Bateson encouraged Roth to bring her creation into the world. This workshop will explore the work of these two pioneers and how to integrate movement and mind to create generative resources for change and healing.

WORKSHOP 40 Feedback Informed Treatment: Making Services FIT Consumers Scott Miller, PhD Available evidence indicates that the effectiveness of psychotherapy has not improved in spite of 100 years of theorizing and research. A simple, valid, and reliable alternative exists for maximiz- ing the effectiveness and efficiency of treatment based on using ongoing client feedback to empirically tailor services to the individual client needs and characteristics. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration recently deemed feedback informed treatment (FIT) an evidence based practice. Research on the approach conducted at multiple sites across a wide range of clients and presenting complaints indicates that clinicians can improve the outcomes of those cases most at risk for failure by as much as 65% without having to change their preferred treatment approach or learn any new treatment techniques.

Post-Conference Monday, December 16 POST-CONFERENCE 9:00 AM-12:00 PM Master Class BRIEF THERAPY: Experiential Approaches Combining Gestalt and Hypnosis ERVING POLSTER, PHD and JEFFREY ZEIG, PHD Gestalt therapy and Ericksonian hypnotherapy are experiential methods of change. In combination they can be synergistic. Psy- chotherapy is best when clients have a first hand experience of an alive therapeutic process. Such dynamic empowering experiences pave the way for dynamic understandings. Drs. Polster and Zeig will engage with each other and the participants to examine commonalities and differences in their work.

Educational Objectives 1) Describe the synergy between Gestalt Therapy and Ericksonian Hypnotherapy. 2) List two commonalities and two differences between Gestalt Therapy and Ericksonian Hypnotherapy. 3) De- scribe the ten therapeutic patterns of Ericksonian influence communication. 4) Describe Erick- sonian therapeutic rituals. 5) Name two positive effects of "tightening therapeutic sequences". 6) Name two conceptual expansions resulting from the revision of the here and now orientation.
