Presented by THE MILTON H. ERICKSON F OUNDATION

“Each person is a unique individual. Hence, psychotherapy should be formulated to meet the uniqueness of the individual’s needs, rather than tailoring the person to fit the Procrustean bed of a hypothetical theory of human behavior.” — Milton H. Erickson, M.D.

THE MILTON H. ERICKSON FOUNDATION, INC. is a federal nonprofit corporation formed to promote and advance the contributions to the health sciences by the late Milton H. Erickson, MD. In addition to organizing congresses, workshops, the Brief Therapy and Couples Conferences, the Erickson Foun- dation also organized seven landmark Evolution of Psycho- therapy Conferences. The Milton H. Erickson Foundation does not discriminate on the basis or race, color, religion, age, national or ethnic origin, physical challenge, gender or sexual orientation.

Milton Hyland Erickson (1901-1980) was an American psychiatrist who specialized in medical hypnosis and family therapy. He was founding president of the American Society for Clinical Hypnosis and was noted for his approach to the unconscious mind as creative and solution-generating. The novel psychotherapeutic strategies Dr. Erickson employed in his treatment of individuals, couples, and families derived from his hypnotic orientation. He affected a fundamental shift in modern psychotherapy. Many elements of the Ericksonian perspective which were once considered extreme are now incorporated into the mainstream of contemporary practice.

December, 2013 Welcome

Dear Colleagues:

Welcome to the Evolution of Psychotherapy Conference. This Conference is an excep- tional opportunity for learning and networking. I hope that it is deeply rewarding for you, both personally and professionally.

I organized the first Evolution Conference in 1985 as a celebration of the 100th birthday of psychotherapy; historians indicated that psychotherapy began in 1885 when Freud became interested in the psychological aspects of medicine. That Conference, covered by The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, and Time magazine, was tabbed “the Woodstock of Psychotherapy,” and drew 7,200 attendees. It sold out three months in advance.

I could not have envisioned the enduring meaning this event would have to both faculty and colleagues. The first Conference had a subtext of “star wars.” I watched at the pre-conference faculty meeting as 83- year-old Carl Rogers approached 78-year-old Joseph Wolpe and said, “We have never met before.” And they had not! Then, I also watched as some of these great minds and powerhouses of psychotherapy often hotly debated their theories. It was stimulating and spectacular.

Colleagues who attended the first Conference remember it vividly. Carl Rogers got a five-minute standing ovation...before speaking, with a longer ovation following his talk. Jay Haley and James Masterson dueled over the concept of borderline personality. The grandchildren of Freud, Adler, and Jung met in a special panel to symbolize a healing of rifts. Virginia Satir spearheaded a special evening session to promote world peace.

Over the years the faculty members have used the Conference to share ideas, promote convergence, and highlight unifying principles that guide effective clinical work. The Conference itself has evolved, becoming more clinical—organized around practice-oriented workshops, and offering interactive events. Earlier Con- ferences were more academic, with printed proceedings. But the theme of consilience still predominates— let’s underscore the commonalities of successful clinical work.

At the recommendation of Virgina Satir, the Evolution Conference used to convene every five years. How- ever, due to unforeseen circumstances, the Conference in 2009 was held four years from the previous one. Now it’s held every four years.

On behalf of the Board of Directors of The Milton H. Erickson Foundation, we express our deep appreciation to the faculty who grace our podiums, and the registrants who honor us with their attendance, especially those who have traveled so far to be here. Attendees represent every state in the U.S. and more than 50 foreign countries. This year, there are 500-plus attendees from Canada and 300-plus from Australia. Please join me in making our foreign guests feel especially welcome.

The Evolution Conference has become iconic, and part of the lore of psychotherapy. It is the largest Confer- ence ever held solely on the topic of psychotherapy.

Thank you for being an integral part of its history.

Jeffrey K. Zeig, Ph.D. Director and Founder The Milton H. Erickson Foundation

Time & Course EVENT LOCATION Number TITLE 7:30 AM-4:30 PM Registration Hilton - Ballrooms Registration Desk Second Floor 8:30 AM-12:30 PM LE 1 DANCING WITH THE RISKS: Hilton - California Ballroom B 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 viola- tions (including sexual contact between professional and patient/client), this 2012-2013 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. Educational Objectives: 1) List the top four high-risk areas of practice. 2) Define and give two examples of “substantial relationship” laws. 3) List two characteristics of an “apology.” 4) List at least three issues that should be included in clinical records (private practice version) or two types of threats that occur between professional and patient/client (agency version).

PC 1 WHAT DO PSYCHOTHERAPISTS NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE BRAIN? Hilton - California Ballroom D DANIEL AMEN, MD The brain is the organ of loving, learning, and behavior. Understanding the brain is critical to mental health clinical practice. In this pre-conference workshop Daniel Amen will give therapists a working knowledge of brain function and tools to optimize it. Educational Objectives: 1) List 5 brain systems related to behavior. 2) Describe three ways to optimize each brain system. 3) Describe three problems associated with each brain system.

PC 2 ATTENTION WITH INTENTION: Hilton - California Ballroom A Applying Clinical Hypnosis in Psychotherapy and Behavioral Medicine MICHAEL D. YAPKO, PHD Your words are your primary therapeutic tools. How can you best use them? The science and art of clinical hypnosis is founded on the recognition that suggestive influence is inherent in all forms of therapy. Hypnosis isn’t a therapy, though. Rather, it’s a vehicle for catalyzing therapy. When people are focused and relaxed, paying attention with intention, they learn and adapt more easily, a sub- stantive enough reason to want to study hypnosis. But far beyond that, hypnosis creates a context that makes innate (unconscious, non-volitional but goal-directed) resources more accessible, empowering people to generate often astonishing therapeutic responses. You will discover this first hand through a group hypnosis experience, as well as observing a dramatic clinical demonstration with a man suffering depression and PTSD. This workshop will provide experiential and practical considerations of patterns and principles of hypnosis as they apply in psychotherapy and behavioral medicine. Specifically, we will focus on identifying and starting to develop some of the key skills necessary to design and deliver meaningful interventions hypnotically. How hypnosis meshes with other experiential approaches, most notably mindfulness, will also be considered. Educational Objectives: 1) Describe the role of selective attention in the onset and course of disorders and how hypnosis might be used to create an internal shift in the quality and direction of focus. 2) Identify at least two specific overlapping points between hypnosis and other focusing/ experiential therapies in order to integrate hypnosis with them in specific goal-oriented ways. 3) Describe the role of suggestion in any treatment approach and how the induction of hypnosis enhances treatment results. 4) List and describe at least three different models or conceptual frame- works for understanding hypnosis. 5) List and describe specific ways people respond differently to suggestions given in hypnosis to those given out- side of hypnosis. 6) Organize and define a generic sequence for conducting a goal-oriented hypnosis session.

8:30-9:30 AM Keynote 1 FROM BRAIN DYNAMICS TO CONSCIOUSNESS: Anaheim Convention Center- How Matter Becomes Imagination Arena GERALD EDELMAN, MD, PHD Prevalent views of higher brain functions are based on the notions of computation and information processing. Various lines of evidence appear to be incompatible with this position and suggest instead that the brain operates according to a set of selectional principles. A theory addressing these principles, called Neural Darwinism, will be discussed. This theory has a direct bearing on our understanding of the neural basis of consciousness, a key issue in psychotherapy. Educational Objectives:

10:00 AM-1:00 PM

Workshop 1 CLINICAL ADVANCES IN EMDR THERAPY: Marriott - Grand Ballroom Identifying and Treating the Underlying Basis of Dysfunction FRANCINE SHAPIRO, PHD Research has clearly demonstrated that certain kinds of life experiences lay the foundation for a wide range of mental and physical problems. Clini- cal and neurobiological research indicates that EMDR therapy directly addresses the physiological basis of clinical symptoms and dysfunction. Group exercises, case description and treatment videos will help participants examine the implications of this research and its application to clinical practice. Clinical examples will address individual, family and societal issues. Educational Objectives: 1) Describe the kinds of life experiences that lay the foundation for clinical dysfunction. 2) Explain the application of EMDR therapy to a wide range of clinical complaints. 3) Describe the principles and techniques used in EMDR therapy to identify the source of clinical symptoms.

Workshop 2 UNIFIED PROTOCOL FOR THE TRANSDIAGNOSTIC TREATMENT Marriott - Platinum Ballroom 6-10 OF EMOTIONAL DISORDERS DAVID BARLOW, PHD This workshop will present recent developments in the application of a transdiagnostic unified, cognitive behavioral and emotion-focused approach to treating emotional disorders. Workshop participants will learn how to apply treatment components to a wide range of emotional disorders . Work- shop participants will learn how to apply treatment components to a wide range of emotional disorders in adults through instruction, case examples, and video clinical vignettes. Educational Objectives: 1) List the 5 core modules of the unified protocol for emotional disorders. 2) Conceptualize a case from a unified transdiagnostic perspective. 3) Articulate the role of mindful awareness in facilitating positive outcomes in the unified protocol.

Workshop 3 REACH: Anaheim Convention Center - Pushing your Clinical Effectiveness to the Next Level Ballroom ABC SCOTT MILLER, PHD Pulitzer prize winning author Thomas Friedman recently observed, “The era of average is over. In the 21st century, everyone is going to have to find something extra to stand out in their field.” What can mental health and substance abuse professionals do to enhance their performance? Avail- able evidence makes clear that attending a typical continuing education workshop, specializing in the treatment of a particular problem, or learning a new treatment model does little to improve effectiveness. Over the last decade, Scott D. Miller, Ph.D., together with colleagues at the International Center for Clinical Excellence, have been tracking the outcomes of thousands of clinicians around the world. Along the way, they have identified specific practices that separate highly effective from average clinicians. How much better are these top performers? On average, they achieve 50% better outcomes than their equally trained and credentialed peers. What’s more, the best have much lower dropout rates and deliver better and more consistent outcomes across a range of client diagnoses, presenting complaints, and motivational levels. In this workshop, participants will learn three specific strategies that separate the good from the great. Attendees will not only learn a simple method for determining their effectiveness, but also how to develop a profile of their most and least effective practices--what works and what doesn’t. Step-by-step, evidence-based instructions will be given for using the profile to identify and eliminate weak spots while enhancing their effectiveness and efficiency. Educational Objectives: 1) List three specific, evidence-based practices employed by highly effective therapists. 2) Describe how to develop a profile of your most and least effective practices. 3) Utilize an evidence-based method for pushing your performance to the next level of effectiveness and efficiency.

Workshop 4 MINDFULNESS, MINDSIGHT AND THE BRAIN: Hilton - Pacific Ballroom What is Mind and Mental Health? DANIEL SIEGEL, MD Can we describe a “healthy mind”? Defining mind as an “embodied and relational process that regulates the flow of energy and information” allows us to move deeply into understanding new ways of seeing the interconnections among brain, interpersonal relationships and the mind. Dr. Siegel outlines strategies to monitor and modify energy and information flow with more clarity and power, and also describes how the concept of integration can serve as an organizing principle that illuminates mindsight, harmony, resilience, and vitality. Educational Objectives: 1) Integrate information about a range of sciences to explore a working definition of the human mind. 2) Adopt a new approach to clinical assessment examining ways that chaos and rigidity reveal impairments to mental health. 3) Apply a working definition of mental health as integration to a range of clinical situations.

Workshop 5 AN INTRODUCTION TO MOTIVATIONAL INTERVIEWING Marriott - Platinum Ballroom 1-5 WILLIAM MILLER, PHD Through lecture, demonstration, and experiential exercises, Dr. Miller will introduce key concepts from the latest (3rd) edition of Motivational Inter- viewing. Educational Objectives: 1) Differentiate preparatory from mobilizing change talk. 2) Explain why direct persuasion backfires with ambivalent people. 3) Describe four component processes of motivational interviewing.

Workshop 6 WHY WON’T ADLER DIE? Convention Center - Ballroom D & E 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 multicultural 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. Educational Objectives: 1) Describe the key components of Adlerian psychotherapy. 2) Use encouragement to empower clients and increase hope and awareness of strengths. 3) List four strategies unique to Adlerian psychotherapy.

Workshop 7 NECESSARY AND SUFFICIENT: Hilton - California Ballroom 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 sat- isfaction 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. Educational Objectives: 1) Describe the key conversation that shapes bonding experiences. 2) Explain how and why this conversation is transforma- tive. 3) List the interventions used to create this change in EFT

10:00-11:30 AM POINT/COUNTER POINT 1 THE PSYCHOLOGY OF PURPOSE Anaheim Convention Center Arena Presenter: JEAN HOUSTON, PHD Discussant: ERNEST ROSSI, PHD Moderator: CAMILLO LORIEDO, MD, PHD So many books and seminars have emerged over the last decade with discovering one’s “purpose” as their theme. What are the cultural and his- toric reasons for this, given the unique shifts and challenges of our time? How do we engender the passion for the possible in our human development while discovering what that “possible” is? Is it even possible to become an artist of destiny, capable of decoding the patterns, clues, and relationships that point you to a mystery that cannot be known directly? Ultimately when it comes down to our fascination with purpose, are we fooling ourselves or are we present at the birth of an opportunity that exceeds our imagination. Educational Objectives: 1) List some of the socio-cultural shifts that have encouraged the quest for purpose. 2) List the psychological ploys for avoiding or denying “purpose.” 3) Name three keys that have proved useful in discovering one’s purpose.

11:45 AM-1:15 PM POINT/COUNTER POINT 2 PSYCHOTHERAPY’S EVOLUTION: Anaheim Convention Center Arena Beyond Pathology into the Landscape of Living PRESENTER: ERVING POLSTER, PHD DISCUSSANT: JEAN HOUSTON, PHD MODERATOR: CAMILLO LORIEDO, MD, 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. Educational Objectives: 1) List the two major goals that vie for primacy in typical psychotherapeutic practice. 2) Name two socially common, age-old vehicles for examining life. 3) Describe the role of the Sabbath in understanding the purposes of the Life Focus Community.

Workshop 8 THE WIZARD OF US AND THE MYTHING LINKS Hilton - Pacific Ballroom JEAN HOUSTON, PHD We are Mything Links, the living connections between the great stories that speak to what is eternal in us and the playing out of these stories in daily life. Using the template of The Wizard of Oz, we will explore both experientially and analytically the psychological powers of this great story. Following the journey of the major characters we will investigate rediscovery of mind, heart, courage and being called to become more than we ever thought we could be. We will encounter the guiding archetypes of the great road of becoming, the Allies, the Spiritual Friend, the Witch and the Wiz- ard and their presence in our lives. Educational Objectives: 1) Explain how the heroine’s journey differs from the classical hero’s journey, as described by Joseph Campbell. 2) De- scribe the archetypal elements that emerge from the major figures in the story. 3) Describe the benefits and trials of being “wizard” to others. 4) Explain how we can use this and other stories to mythologize rather than pathologize our lives.

Educational Objectives: 1) List 4 stages of the creative process. 2) Explain RNA/DNA dialogues of the creative unconscious. 3) Demonstrate how private inner work trumps free association.

Workshop 12 GLOBAL OR OVERGENERAL THINKING AND MENTAL HEALTH: Marriott - Platinum 1-5 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 discrimination criteria, and highlight the importance of teaching concrete and specific skills in making distinctions that lead to improved decisions and, subsequently, better mental health. Educational Objectives: 1) Describe the role of global cognition in a variety of presenting problems. 2) Design strategies of making key discrimina- tions for improved decision-making. 3) Apply the patterns of specificity to the process of offering therapy clients advice and direction.

2:30-4:00 PM POINT/COUNTER POINT 3 CAN WE TREAT NEUROTICISM? Anaheim Convention Center Arena Presenter: DAVID BARLOW, PHD Discussant: FRANCINE SHAPIRO, PHD Moderator: BETTY ALICE ERICKSON, MS 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 delineated 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 Barlow suggests a new integrated diagnostic scheme and the identification of psychological treatment principles targeting temperament directly. Educational Objectives: 1) List temperaments and key features that comprise the emotional disorders. 2) Describe common therapeutic strategies to treat emotional disorders. 3) List different emotional avoidance strategies.

4:15-5:45 PM POINT/COUNTER POINT 4 ESSENTIALS OF TRAUMA THERAPY Anaheim Convention Center Arena Presenter: FRANCINE SHAPIRO, PHD Discussant: DAVID BARLOW, PHD Moderator: BETTY ALICE ERICKSON, MS It is important for therapists to fully evaluate the entire clinical picture 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. Educational Objectives: 1) Describe specific deficits which need to be addressed when treating the trauma victim. 2) Demonstrate the positive treatment effects possible in personal and relational domains. 3) Describe principles and procedures used for both overt symptom reduction and comprehensive treatment.

Workshop 15 FUNDAMENTALS OF EMDR THERAPY Anaheim Convention Center - AS AN INTEGRATIVE TRAUMA TREATMENT Ballroom ABC 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. Educational Objectives: 1) Demonstrate procedures used during the eight phases of EMDR therapy. 2) Describe the targets used in the 3-pronged protocol. 3) Describe the principles that guide case conceptualization and treatment.

Workshop 16 THE HERO’S JOURNEY AS A ROADMAP Anaheim Convention Center - FOR MANAGING CRISIS AND HEALING Ballroom D&E 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 support to manage times of crisis and support healing. Educational Objectives: 1) Recognize key stages in the process of change and healing. 2) Design interventions based upon the Hero’s Journey framework. 3) Apply techniques to assist others in overcoming internal obstacles or resistances.

Workshop 17 HEIGHTENED ATTENTION: Marriott - Grand Ballroom 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 conversa- tional 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. Educational Objectives: 1) Name the three major elements of attention enhancement, as described in this workshop. 2) Compare the actor and the therapist in their emotional involvements. 3) Describe the difference between technical contact and common contact.

Workshop 18 COGNITIVE THERAPY FOR CHALLENGING PROBLEMS Hilton - Pacific Ballroom JUDITH S. BECK, PH.D. 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. Educational Objectives: 1) State various strategies to improve the therapeutic relationship. 2) Use a cognitive conceptualization to understand and manage resistance. 3) Motivate resistant clients.

Workshop 19 IT TAKES ONE TO TANGO: Marriott - Platinum Ballroom 6-10 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. Educational Objectives: 1) Describe how seeing couples with divergent goals conjointly can be detrimental. 2) Discuss how to ascertain the absent partners’ views, feelings and goals for the relationship. 3) Discuss how to motivate the client to take responsibility for change in light of his/her partners’ lack of participation.

Workshop 20 HYPNOSIS: Marriott - Platinum Ballroom 1-5 Advanced Techniques for Beginners JEFFREY ZEIG, PHD Understanding hypnosis as a composition of phenomenological elements facilitates induction.

Workshop 21 TREATMENT OF INDIVIDUALS WITH Hilton - California Ballroom 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. Educational Objectives: 1) Describe how aggressive behavior develops, and the implications for both prevention and treatment. 2) Implement integrated evidence-based treatment approaches with angry and aggressive adults. 3) Design a preventative life-span treatment approach with aggressive children and adolescents.

8:30-10:00 AM POINT/COUNTER POINT 5 THE DSV-V PROPOSAL FOR Anaheim Convention Center Arena PERSONALITY DISORDERS CLASSIFICATION Presenter: OTTO KERNBERG, MD Discussant: DAVID BARLOW, PHD Moderator: RICHARD LANDIS, PHD Dr. Kernberg proposes that the DSM-V proposal is a helpful advance in the understanding of personality disorders, in spite of internal inconsisten- cies in its “hybrid model” basis. At the bottom, the psychiatric research community is struggling with a lack of an integrated conception of the development and structure of the personality. Educational Objectives: 1) Approach in new ways the relations between neurobiological, symbolic-intentional, and behavioral structures. 2) Search for underlying dynamic organization of descriptive personality traits. 3) Re-evaluate trait theory and process theory regarding the components of personality.

10:15-11:45 AM POINT/COUNTER POINT 6 FACILITATING THE RNA/DNA EPIGENETICS OF CREATING Anaheim Convention Center Arena NEW CONSCIOUSNESS IS THE NEXT STEP IN THE EVOLUTION OF PSYCHOTHERAPY Presenter: ERNEST ROSSI, PHD Moderator: RICHARD LANDIS, PHD Discussant: CLOÉ MADANES, LIC. PSIC. Facilitating the RNA/DNA epigenetics of creating new consciousness is the next step in the evolution of psychotherapy. Restricting psychotherapy to the limitations of the cognitive-behavioral level is becoming a disservice to psychology. We must embrace the bioinformatics of the new technologi- cal devices that make it possible to assess and facilitate the dynamics of gene expression and brain plasticity economically within a single session of psychotherapy. Educational Objectives: 1) Expand the psychotherapist’s perspective beyond the traditional limitations of the cognitive-behavioral level. 2) Inte- grate current research on mind-body approaches to include the molecular-genomic level. 3) Develop an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the human condition.

Workshop 22 DIALECTIC BEHAVIOR THERAPY (DBT) Hilton - California Ballroom MARSHA LINEHAN, PHD This three-hour workshop is designed to give an overview of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and is intended for mental health professionals who wish to acquaint themselves with the treatment or who are considering further training in DBT. DBT balances change-based technology (behavior therapy) with acceptance-based principals (validation). Both of these strategies will be introduced along with dialectical strategies (those that provide the balance of acceptance and change). The frame of DBT will be highlighted and the modes and functions of comprehensive DBT will be defined. Methods of instruction include lecture and videotapes of treatment to demonstrate the principles and strategies of DBT. Educational Objectives: 1) Describe the problems DBT is designed to address. 2) Explain DBT treatment targets and structure of treatment for multi -problem, high-risk clients, including the modes and functions of comprehensive DBT programs. 3) Use basic strategies used in DBT, including problem-solving, validation and dialectical strategies.

Workshop 23 IMAGO: HELPING COUPLES CONNECT Marriott - Grand Ballroom HARVILLE HENDRIX, PH D Each couple describes a core scene which happens over and over again from which they want relief and therapists attempt to offer it. Imago Cou- ples Therapy posits that while each core scene is unique, the theme of each couple’s story is identical: ruptured connection and the desire for resto- ration. 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. Educational Objectives: 1) Describe the concept and content of the couples “core scene.” 2) Demonstrate the Imago Dialogue Process. 3) Discuss the meaning of “connection.”

Workshop 24 PERSPECTIVE TAKING IN PSYCHOTHERAPY Marriott - Platinum Ballroom 1-5 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. Dr. Hayes will show how perspective taking can rapidly overcome barriers in psychotherapy, and when to deploy these methods. Educational Objectives: 1) Describe the cognitive basis of perspective taking skills. 2) Use specific exercises to establish great perspective-taking skills. 3) Specify psychological flexibility targets that determine when perspective taking is likely to be helpful.

Workshop 25 THE THREE POSITIVE CONNECTIONS Marriott - Platinum Ballroom 6-10 NEEDED FOR CREATIVE 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 en- gaging 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. Educational Objectives: 1) Show three methods for developing therapeutic change. 2) Describe three techniques for connecting a client to a positive, skill-based state of being. 3) Identify 3 ways to translate a negative goal to a positive goal.

Workshop 26 ASSERTIVE DEFENSE OF THE SELF Anaheim Convention Center - CHRISTINE PADESKY, PHD Ballroom ABC Social anxiety results from fear of criticism or rejection. Padesky teaches her treatment approach, Assertive Defense of the Self, which guides socially anxious clients in the development of coping skills and the confidence to face criticism and rejection.

1:00-2:30 PM POINT/COUNTER POINT 7 MORAL DISENGAGEMENT Anaheim Convention Center Arena Presenter: ALBERT BANDURA, PHD Discussant: JEFFREY ZEIG, PHD Moderator: BERNHARD TRENKLE, DIPL. PSYCH. This presentation addresses how otherwise good people can do cruel things. They do so through selective disengagement of moral self-sanctions from inhumane conduct. At the behavior locus, worthy ends are used to sanctify harmful means by social and moral justification. At the agency locus, people obscure personal responsibility by displacement and diffusion of responsibility. At the outcomes locus, the detrimental social effects of one’s actions are ignored, minimized, or disrupted. At the victim locus, perpetrators dehumanize and blame recipients for bringing the maltreatment on themselves. These mechanisms operate at both individual and social systems levels. At the personal level, Bandura will focus on antisocial behavior, bullying, and sexual violence. At the social system level he will illustrate the working of moral disengagement in the entertainment, gun, and tobacco industries. Educational Objectives: 1) Describe the different mechanisms through which people disengage moral self-sanctions from detrimental conduct. 2) List the social conditions that foster moral disengagement. 3) Define moral disengagement.

4:30-5:30 PM Invited Keynote 1 BRAIN WARS: Hilton - California Ballroom How Not Looking at the Brain Leads to Missed Diagnoses, Failed Treatments 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. Educational Objectives: 1) List 5 clinical indications for functional brain imaging. 2) Understand 3 reasons mental health practitioners have not been exposed to the clinical utility of neuroimaging. 3) List 5 ways looking at the brain changes clinical practice.

Invited Keynote 2 MAPPING A COUPLES EMOTIONAL PROFILES Hilton - Pacific Ballroom PAUL EKMAN, PHD AND EVE EKMAN, MSW 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 Couples Emotional Profiles—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. Educational Objectives: 1) Explain how individuals differ in their experience of the same emotion. 2) Describe how the discovery of their profiles might help couples better deal with disagreements. 3) Discuss ideas for research in the future on Emotional Profiles.

Invited Keynote 3 HOW TO PRODUCE CHANGE Anaheim Convention Center - SALVADOR MINUCHIN, MD Arena Dr. Minuchin will show segments from a first session he conducted with a family, highlighting the concepts that underlie the techniques; the ways that he, as the therapist, assess his interventions; and the impact the family has on him. Educational Objectives: 1) Describe the expanded concept of “the identified patient.” 2) Explain how the therapist challenges a family construc- tively. 3) Explain how silence can be used as a therapeutic instrument?

5:45-6:45 PM Invited Keynote 4 UNITY IN A MODULAR WORLD Anaheim Convention Center - MICHAEL GAZZANIGA, PHD Arena Fifty years of split-brain studies that have lead Gazzaniga to a long-term view on how to best understand mind/brain interactions. Overall, the view is consistent with the idea that complex neural systems, like all complex information processing system, are highly modular. At the same time, how the modules come to interact and produce unitary goals is the great unknown. In this process, the importance of self-cuing cannot be overesti- mated. It is demonstrably evident in the human neurologic patient and especially in patients with hemispheric disconnection. When viewed in the context of modularity, it may provide insights into how a highly parallel and distributed brain coordinates its activities to produce a unitary out- put. Gaining a full understanding of cueing mechanism, will require shifting gears away from standard linear models and adopting a more control and dynamical system view of brain function. Educational Objectives: 1) Describe hemisphere specialization. 2) Indicate two functions specific to each hemisphere. 3) Describe the function of the interpreter in the brain.

Invited Keynote 5 LOVE IN A TIME OF ILLNESS Hilton - California Ballroom DIANE ACKERMAN, PHD Ms. 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, Ackerman’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, the couples’ lives changed dramatically. The challenge was to regain what could be found, reimagine what couldn’t, and, by using unusual tools and methods, create a new love story. Educational Objectives: 1) Develop a better understanding of how illness can transform a marriage by skewing roles, dislodging routines, spawning unexpected new behaviors, and ultimately revising a sense of self. 2) Learn how a ravaged brain can rewire itself with the help of healing relationships and a creative game-plan tailored to the individual (however eccentric he may be).

INVITED ADDRESSES 12:00-1:00 PM

Invited Address 1 THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN: Anaheim Convention Center Heroic Steps to Transform Impossible Relationships Arena HARRIET LERNER, PHD MODERATOR: ALEXANDER SIMPKINS, PHD All growth takes place in relationships, which either enhance maturity, zest and self-regard or diminish these possibilities. Lerner will present the seven key steps that one person can take to dramatically alter the course of unhappy or downward spiraling relationships, with an eye toward helping clients restore self-esteem, accountability, personal clarity, and growth-fostering interactions. Educational Objectives: 1) List 5 specific courageous acts of change that are “differences that make a difference. 2) Describe how the “two-step” helps clients overcome LDD (Listening deficit disorder)

Invited Address 2 FRONTIER OF TRAUMA TREATMENT Hilton - California Ballroom BESSEL VAN DER KOLK, MD MODERATOR: ANNELLEN SIMPKINS, PHD This workshop explores how trauma affects people’s rhythms within themselves and with their surroundings. 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 these various techniques to help people overcome a traumatic past and regain the capacity to be fully alive in the present. Educational Objectives: 1) Describe recent developments in neuroscience as they relate to the treatment of PTSD. 2) Demonstrate techniques of physical mastery, affect regulation attention and memory processing. 3) Explain how experience itself, and controlled body action, individually and in groups, can powerfully help overcome traumatic repetitions and continued fight/flight/freeze responses.

Invited Address 3 RACIAL, GENDER & SEXUAL ORIENTATION MICROAGGRESSIONS: Marriott Platinum Ballroom 1-5 Implications for Clinical Practice DERALD WING SUE, PH.D. MODERATOR: KATHRYN ROSSI, PHD Microaggressions are brief and commonplace daily verbal, behavioral or environmental indignities, whether intentional or unintentional, which com- municate hostile, derogatory, or negative slights to an individual or group because of their race, gender or sexual orientation. These exchanges are so pervasive and automatic in daily conversations and interactions that they are often dismissed and glossed over as being innocent and innocu- ous. 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 recipients. 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. Making the “invisible” visible is the first step toward treating people of color, women and other culturally diverse groups with respect and dignity. Educational Objectives: 1) Define, identify and classify microaggressions and the various manifestations in everyday life and clinical practice. 2) List three harmful impacts that microaggressions have on people of color, women and LGBT clients. 3) Identify three strategies clinicians can take to minimize the effects of microaggressions on marginalized groups in our society.

Invited Address 4 SUICIDE: Hilton - Pacific Ballroom Where We Are, Where We Were, and Where Are We Going MARSHA LINEHAN, PHD MODERATOR: ROXANNA ERICKSON-KLEIN, RN, PHD There is no area of research that brings a complex array of ethical issues into sharp focus more than conducting treatment trials when the focus is on decreasing suicidal behavior and preventing suicide. Historically, suicidal individuals have been excluded from treatment studies because their inclusion was thought to be unethical, unsafe or too difficult to manage clinically. This presentation will discuss where the field of suicide intervention research started, the successes and failures we have encountered thus far, as well as the critical issues that still need to be addressed in order to move the field forward. It will include a summary of the suicide intervention research trials, to date, and the directions the field is heading toward addressing the complex problem of suicidal behaviors. Educational Objectives: 1) Describe the methodology and problems, to date, in suicidal research. 2) Describe the methodology that is needed for suicide research. 3) Describe clinical treatments and adequate treatment support for suicidal behavior.

Invited Address 5 THE EVOLUTION OF PSYCHOTHERAPY: Anaheim Convention Center An Oxymoron Ballroom ABC SCOTT MILLER, PHD MODERATOR: DAN SHORT, PHD Since the first “Evolution” conference in 1985, thousands of research studies and how-to books on psychotherapy have been published. Work- shops, training programs, and certifications abound. At the same time, the overall effectiveness of psychotherapy has not improved a single per- centage point. Meanwhile, practitioners face the most challenging economic practice climate in the field’s history. Incomes are down and fewer people are seeking 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, documenting three evidence-based steps associated with superior performing clinicians. Research shows that using these steps pushes therapists to reach the next level of effectiveness. Educational Objectives: 1) List three factors commonly believed to contribute to outcome, that have little or no relationship with effectiveness. 2) De- scribe specific economic challenges facing behavioral health practitioners. 3) Describe three evidence-based steps of top-performing clinicians.

Invited Address 7 STRENGTHS-BASED CBT: MAKING A POSITIVE DIFFERENCE Anaheim Convention Center CHRISTINE PADESKY, PHD BALLROOM ABC MODERATOR: CAMILLO LORIEDO, MD, PHD Is it possible to use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) methods not just to reduce distress but also to promote happiness, resilience and other positive qualities? We are developing strengths-based therapy approaches that use CBT principles and practices to construct new beliefs and behaviors that promote positive client growth. A structured search for client strengths is central to the approach. When the goal is to construct something new, experiential methods often trump analytic approaches. Changes in CBT over the past three decades (e.g., an increased emphasis on behavioral experiments, imagery, and a greater appreciation of neuroscience) 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. Educational Objectives: 1) Identify two circumstances in which Strengths-Based CBT might have an advantage over traditional CBT. 2) Explain how the “many pathways” theory supports optimism for positive growth in clients. 3) List four steps that can be used to build resilience

Invited Address 9 THE GREEN BOAT: Marriott Platinum Ballroom 1-5 REVIVING OURSELVES AND OUR CAPSIZED CULTURE MARY PIPHER, PHD MODERATOR: RICHARD LANDIS, 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 con- fronted 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. Educational Objectives: 1) Help their own clients effectively identify and cope with the many global threats that are part of the landscape of our lives. 2) Describe the process of denial that keeps us from dealing with global climate change, and also the trauma-to-transcedence cycle that has the potential to save us. 3) Teach clients many antidotes to despair, including action, a growth in moral imagination and bliss.

Invited Address 10 THE ADDICTIVE FAMILY: THE LEGACY OF TRAUMA Hilton - California Ballroom CLAUDIA BLACK, PHD MODERATOR: DAN SHORT, 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, Ph.D., will give a portrait of addiction in the family, offering 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. Educational Objectives: 1) Identify how the trauma responses to flight, fight and freeze become acted out in the family impacted by addiction. 2) Describe both Big T and Little T traumas that frequently occur in a family impacted by addiction. 3) Explain the relationship of trauma to multi- addictive and co-occurring disorders.

12:00-1:00 PM

Invited Address 11 EVIDENCE-BASED PSYCHOLOGICAL TREATMENTS: Marriott Grand Ballroom AN UPDATE AND A WAY FORWARD DAVID BARLOW, PHD MODERATOR: ROBERT BOHANSKE, PHD For more than 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. Educational Objectives: 1) Describe the reasons for the emergence of evidence-based psychological treatments and the progress that has been made to date. 2) List the current barriers or obstructions to evidence-based practice. 3) Describe specific barriers to dissemination and implementation and two current models for overcoming these barriers.

Invited Address 12 A NEW SCIENCE OF LOVE: ANAHEIM CONVENTION CENTER A NEW ERA FOR COUPLE INTERVENTIONS ARENA SUE JOHNSON, EDD MODERATOR: MICHAEL MUNION, MA 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. Educational Objectives: 1) List two breakthroughs in our understanding of the brain in love. 2) Describe the four characteristics of attachment relationships and their function. 3) Grasp how a new understanding of emotional bonds translates into new interventions.

Invited Address 13 THE MOTIVATION REVOLUTION Hilton Pacific Ballroom DAVID BURNS, MD MODERATOR: DAN SHORT, PHD 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. Educational Objectives: 1) Describe the difference between Outcome Resistance and Process Resistance. 2) Describe the most common cause of nearly all therapeutic failure. 3) Describe paradoxical techniques to melt away resistance and motivate resistant patients.

Invited Address 14 ON BECOMING A MASTER THERAPIST Marriott Platinum Ballroom 1-5 JON CARLSON, PSYD, EDD MODERATOR: BERNHARD TRENKLE, DIPL. PSYCH. 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 therapists 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. Educational Objectives: 1) Describe the process needed to achieve mastery. 2) Identify the stumbling blocks to mastery. 3) Explain the importance of meaningful feedback.

Invited Address 15 SPIRITUALITY AND TRAUMA Anaheim Convention Center PETER LEVINE, PHD Ballroom ABC MODERATOR: ALEXANDER SIMPKINS, 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 re- connect 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. Educational Objectives:

Invited Address 16 BRAINSTORM: DEBUNKING THE MYTHS ABOUT ADOLESCENCE Hilton - California Ballroom AND REVEALING THE POWER AND PURPOSE OF THE TEENAGE BRAIN DANIEL SIEGEL, MD MODERATOR: ANNELLEN SIMPKINS, PHD In this invited address, the emerging science of the adolescent period will be explored to reveal that the essence of this important time of life is actually the source of vitality throughout the lifespan. Reframing this view of our teen years and beyond can help shape how adolescents and adult approach this challenging period of growth. Adolescents and adults can benefit from this new, scientifically-informed perspective on this courageous and creative period of our individual and collective lives. Educational Objectives: 1) Describe four fundamental aspects of the essence of adolescence. 2) Identify the difference between impulsivity and hyper-rational thinking. 3) List the two major components of the remodeling process in the teenage brain.

Workshop 29 ADVANCED EMPATHY TRAINING Marriott Platinum Ballroom 6-10 DAVID BURNS, MD Nearly all therapists believe they are skilled 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! Educational Objectives: 1) Describe how to accurately assess empathy at every session. 2) Demonstrate the use of the Five Secrets of Effective Communication and Law of Opposite. 3) Describe how therapists can greatly boost empathy skills.

Workshop 30 OUT OF THE BLUE: Marriott Platinum Ballroom 1-5 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 challenging to help change. Medications don’t help all depressed people and, even when they do help, 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. Educational Objectives: 1) List new understandings of depression and its treatment. 2) Implement six innovative strategies for relieving depression. 3) Challenge prevailing models of treatment for depression.

Workshop 31 GESTALT THERAPY WITH CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS Marriott Grand Ballroom VIOLET OAKLANDER, PHD 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. Educational Objectives: 1) List three aspects of the therapeutic process used with children and adolescents. 2) Assess the use of projective techniques with children and adolescents. 3) Describe the purpose of having the child “own” aspects of his or her projection.

Workshop 32 TRANSFORMING NEGATIVE STATES: Anaheim Convention Center A Workshop in Generative Psychotherapy Ballrooms D&E 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 can be transformed into 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. Educational Objectives: 1) Demonstrate three methods for transforming a negative experience into a positive resources. 2) Demonstrate three methods for developing a creative state of utilization in both therapist and client. 3) Demonstrate three techniques for reducing negative attitudes towards typical problems.

Workshop 33 AFFAIRS: Hilton - Pacific Ballroom 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 set- backs; 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. Educational Objectives: 1) Review what both the unfaithful and betrayed spouse must do to heal from infidelity. 2) Discuss & practice what to do when disclosure is made during an individual session. 3) Name and discuss methods for overcoming the most common impasses in helping couples heal from infidelity.

Workshop 34 THE WISDOM OF BUDDHIST PSYCHOLOGY Anaheim Convention Center JACK KORNFIELD, AB, M.ED, PHD BALLROOM ABC 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. Educational Objectives: 1) Describe how to employ mindfulness of feeling body and mind in clinical settings. 2) Utilize trainings in compassion and forgiveness. 3) Incorporate a non-sectarian spiritual dimension when appropriate to patients.

Workshop 35 THE BODY KEEPS SCORE: Hilton California Ballroom 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 to 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—neuro-eedback, yoga, theater, IFS and EMDR—in resolving the traumatic past, and discuss the integration of these approaches during different stages of treatment. Educational Objectives: 1) Review recent developments in the treatment of PTSD, and the effects that they have been shown to have on the recovery of traumatized individuals. 2)Emphasize techniques of physical mastery, affect regulation and memory processing. 3) Examine how mind and brain process trauma, and its lasting traces on multiple psychological and biological processes.

Point/Counterpoint 9 THE PALETTE OF THE THERAPIST Anaheim Convention Center PRESENTER: JEFFREY ZEIG, PHD Arena DISCUSSANT: DONALD MEICHENBAUM, PHD MODERATOR: KATHRYN ROSSI, PHD Building on the contributions of Milton Erickson, MD, therapists can advance their work through the introduction of evocative techniques gleaned from studying codes of influence in the arts. The artist and the therapist share similar domains: a striving to alter perception; to modify and expand perspectives; and to stir the human heart. 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. Educational Objectives: 1) Describe the difference between informative and evocative communication. 2) List three evocative communication methods that can empower therapy. 3) Given a patient, describe how to use evocative communication.

4:15-5:45 PM Point/Counterpoint 10 TRAUMA, SPIRITUALITY AND RECOVERY Anaheim Convention Center Presenter: Donald Meichenbaum, PhD Arena Discussant: Erving Polster, PhD Moderator: Kathryn Rossi, 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 spiritual coping, ways to assess for client’s spirituality, and ways to integrate spiritually-based interventions into psychotherapy, where indicated. Educational Objectives: 1) Describe the psychosocial functions of spirituality. 2) Assess for the client’s spirituality. 3) Implement spiritually-based interventions in psychotherapy, where indicated.

Invited Address 17 MOTIVATIONAL INTERVIEWING AND THE LANGUAGE OF CHANGE Hilton - California Ballroom WILLIAM MILLER, PHD MODERATOR: MICHAEL MUNION, MA 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. Educational Objectives: 1) Explain the role of client change talk in helping people change. 2) Explain how following a therapist manual can affect the efficacy of motivational interviewing. 3) Explain how a “decisional balance” procedure can undermine motivation for change.

Invited Address 18 A NEW WAY TO THINK ABOUT COUPLES Anaheim Convention Center HARVILLE HENDRIX, PHD Arena MODERATOR: RICK LANDIS, 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 dispensing 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. Educational Objectives: 1) Discuss the historical shift of perspective on couples. 2) Describe the impact of healthy couples on society. 3) Teach the concept of “mutual healing” of couples.

Invited Address 19 SELF, COMPASSION, AND PEACE OF MIND: Marriott - Platinum Ballroom 6-10 The Implications of Evolution Science Steven Hayes, PhD Moderator: Betty Alice Erickson, MS In this talk Dr. Hayes argues that human beings evolved for compassion and cooperation, based in part on the impact of eusociality on human language. This view has extraordinary 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. Educational Objectives: 1) Explain the implications of multilevel selection for human cooperation. 2) Describe the link between human cooperation and human cognition. 3) Extend perspective taking to psychotherapy.

Invited Address 20 WHAT BRINGS CHILDREN INTO THERAPY: Marriott - Grand Ballroom A Developmental View VIOLET OAKLANDER, PHD MODERATOR: ROXANNA ERICKSON-KLEIN, RN, 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 also are some very basic developmental aspects that further thwart healthy development. An understanding of these hindrances is the first step toward helping children heal. Educational Objectives: 1) Describe three basic developmental aspects that can affect the child’s development. 2) Assess organismic regulation in therapeutic work. 3) Describe the healthy development of an infant, prior to interruption.

Invited Address 21 REFOCUSED PSYCHOTHERAPY AS THE FIRST LINE Marriott - Platinum Ballroom 1-5 OF INTERVENTION IN BEHAVIORAL HEALTH NICHOLAS CUMMINGS, PHD, SCD MODERATOR: ROBERT BOHANSKE, PHD In the age in which psychotropic medications 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 achieve better outcomes than are currently being seen in our failing mental health system. Educational Objectives: 1) Describe how to expand psychotherapy into proven techniques that far surpass the limited, stiled limitations of today’s cognitive therapy. 2) Explain how personality disorders must be treated differently than the usual patient, thus markedly improving the success rate. 3) Demonstrate the successful techniques without medication.

9:15-11:15 AM Workshop 36 GROUP TREATMENT OF SITUATIONAL DOMESTIC VIOLENCE Anaheim Convention Center FOR LOWER-INCOME COUPLES Arena 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. Educational Objectives: 1) Explain the difference between situational and characterological domestic violence. 2) Describe the use of a question- naire valid for discriminating between the two forms of domestic violence. 3) Demonstrate how to effectively treat situational domestic violence.

Workshop 37 REALITY IS NEGOTIABLE: Marriott - Platinum Ballroom 1-5 Absorbing People in Positive Possibilities MICHAEL D. YAPKO, PHD Is there any doubt that people learn more easily through experience when they’re focused and receptive? Or that growth is easier when rigid percep- tions and boundaries of experience are softened and redefined? Hypnosis highlights the malleability of subjective experience and empowers people to live their best lives. 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 whatever 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. Educational Objectives: 1) Describe some of the key contributions hypnosis research has made to the psychotherapy field. 2) Analyze some of the core components of effective treatment and how hypnosis can amplify these. 3) Demonstrate the merits of hypnosis for enhanced problem-solving

Workshop 38 BEYOND PATHOLOGY: Anaheim Convention Center - Ballroom C 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 illumi- nate 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. Educational Objectives: 1) Name the three elements of the psychotherapy triad described in this workshop. 2) Name three societally active outlets for satisfying the need for life focus. 3) Name and describe one major element in the design of the Life Focus Community meeting.

Workshop 39 EXPLORING THE PATTERN THAT CONNECTS: Anaheim Convention Center The Genius of Gregory Bateson & Gabrielle Roth Ballroom D&E 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 sha- man.” 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. Educational Objectives: 1) List the Five Rhythms of Gabrielle Roth and describe how they contribute to the process of change. 2) Apply Gregory Bateson’s strategy of “living metaphor” to discover and transfer resources from one area of a person’s life to another. 3) Practice combining movement and metaphor to generate solutions and promote healing.

Workshop 40 FEEDBACK INFORMED TREATMENT: Hilton - California Ballroom Making Services FIT Consumers SCOTT MILLER, PHD It’s not a pretty picture. Available evidence indicates that the effectiveness of psychotherapy has not improved in spite of 100 years of theorizing and research. What would help? Not learning a new model of therapy. And no, not attending another CEU event or sorting through that stack of research journals by your desk. A simple, valid, and reliable alternative exists for maximizing the effectiveness and efficiency of treatment based on using ongoing client feedback to empirically tailor services to the individual client’s 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. Educational Objectives: 1) Explain how to track outcome using a simple and reliable measure. 2) Demonstrate how to monitor and improve the therapeutic alliance via the use of a simple and reliable alliance measure. 3) Describe how to use alliance and outcome data to identify cases “at risk” for treatment failure and/or drop out from services.

Workshop 41 THE ANATOMY OF INFLUENCE: Anaheim Convention Center Applying Effective Methods from Behavioral Economics and Social Psychology Ballroom A&B to Increase Cooperation and Results in Psychotherapy BILL O’HANLON, MS Marketers are learning about and using the latest research on how to persuade people to change their views and behavior, but psychotherapists generally don’t know about or use this research. This session, using videos, audios and stories to bring the material alive, will teach you three powerful methods for radically increasing cooperation in therapy. Educational Objectives: 1) List the three major non-conscious influences on decision-making and behavioral change. 2) Use social following to increase cooperation in therapy. 3) Cite one study about social following.

Workshop 42 RESISTANCE REVISITED Marriott - Grand Ballroom DAVID BURNS, MD Dr. Burns will illustrate powerful techniques to bring patient resistance to conscious awareness at the start of therapy. He also will demonstrate powerful paradoxical techniques to melt away patient resistance and provide exercises so participants can practice and begin to learn these techniques. Educational Objectives: 1) Describe the four most common forms of Outcome Resistance and the four most common forms of Process Resistance. 2) Describe the five steps in Paradoxical Agenda Setting. 3) Illustrate the difference between a Straightforward vs. a Paradoxical Invitation.

Workshop 43 ADVANCED TECHNIQUES OF THERAPY: Marriott - Platinum Ballroom 6-10 Creating Emotional Impact JEFFREY ZEIG, PHD Language is both informative and expressive. It is the expressive component that elicits changes in emotion, sensation, “state,” and physiology; the words only convey part of the message. We will study the effective use of prosody, proximity, gesture, expression and context, and how those chan- nels can be woven into the process of communication to create dramatic moments that empower effective clinical outcomes. Lecture, demonstration, small group practice. Educational Objectives: 1) Define “microdynamic” gift-wrapping. 2) Indicate two ways in which paraverbal methods increase therapeutic impact. 3) Given a patient, indicate how to use gestures and sounds to increase impact. 4) Define “utilization” and indicate how it is effective.
