METHODS: Drs. Anthony Mannarino and Judith Cohen, two of the TF-CBT developers, describe three underlying principles of TF-CBT: that this is a components-and phase-based model; the use of gradual exposure throughout TF-CBT; and the importance of proportionality throughout treatment. They describe the TF-CBT phases (stabilization, trauma narration and consolidation) and components, summarized by the acronym "PRACTICE" that includes Psychoeducation; Parenting component; Relaxation skills; Affective modulation skills; Cognitive processing skills; Trauma narrative; In vivo mastery of trauma reminders; Conjoint child-parent sessions; and Enhancing safety. Case examples are included throughout to illustrate how TF-CBT helps children and families gain resilience after trauma, including complex trauma experiences. RESULTS: TF-CBT has been tested in 13 randomized controlled trials including for children who have experienced sexual abuse, domestic violence, war, commercial sexual exploitation, and multiple traumas. In these studies TF-CBT was superior to comparison or control conditions in improving children's PTSD symptoms and a variety of other difficulties. CONCLUSIONS: TF-CBT is an evidence-based treatment for treating traumatized children. Pre-Meeting Institute (PMI) #2 Wednesday, November 6 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Grand Ballroom B Taking Your Prolonged Exposure (PE) Practice to the Next Level: How and When to Use PE with Complicated PTSD Patients (Practice/Violence/M/Global) Yusko, David, PsyD1, Foa, Edna, PhD1, Nacasch, Nitsa, MD2 1University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA 2Tel-Aviv Brull Community Mental Health Center, Tel Aviv, Israel, Despite the comprehensive research that exists using prolonged exposure therapy (PE) there are still questions about it being a potentially harmful treatment for certain patients with PTSD. Even though PE is the most widely studied therapy for PTSD, with the most evidence supporting its efficacy in a broad range of PTSD populations (e.g. th 2 ISTSS 29 Annual Meeting Session Abstracts variety of target traumas, demographic diversity, various types of comorbidity, and wide dissemination), there is still more to learn. This institute will begin with a brief review of the evidence supporting the efficacy and effectiveness of PE. From there, a review of the basic components involved in PE, followed by a combination of actual treatment videos and real case vignettes that illustrate how PE experts have implemented PE in these complicated treatment cases. Case presentations will demonstrate the use of PE with the following populations: comorbid substance dependence, comorbid borderline personality, early childhood sexual abuse, repeated and/or prolonged traumas, and comorbid OCD. The institute encourages participants to present their own difficult PTSD cases for consultation. In summary, the institute will focus on the following aspects: 1) an overview of PE treatment literature, 2) a review of PE treatment components; 3) actual patient illustrations of PE being used in difficult trauma populations, 4) institute participants bringing in their own case material for consultation from PE experts, and 5) instruction on when and how to modify PE procedures in complicated PTSD populations. Pre-Meeting Institute (PMI) #3 Wednesday, November 6 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Grand Ballroom C Acceptance and Commitment Therapy: Mindfulness and Compassion in the Treatment of PTSD (Practice/N/A/M/Industrialized) Walser, Robyn, PhD 1National Center for PTSD – Dissemination and Training Division, VA Palo Alto Health Care System, Palo Alto, California, USA Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a principle-based behavioral intervention that is designed to address human suffering in a mindful and compassionate way. ACT also aims to support individuals in engaging commitments to behavior change that are consistent with personal values and well-being. While ACT has been applied to a wide variety of problems, it is well suited to the treatment of trauma. Individuals who have been diagnosed with PTSD and trauma related problems are often disturbed by traumatic memories, nightmares, unwanted thoughts and painful feelings. They are frequently working to avoid these experiences and the trauma- related situations or cues that occasion them. In addition to the symptoms of PTSD, the painful emotional experience and aftermath of trauma can often lead the traumatized individual to view themselves as “damaged” or “broken” in some important way. These difficult emotions and thoughts are associated with a variety of behavioral problems ranging from substance abuse to relationship problems. ACT seeks to reduce rigid and inflexible attempts to control negative emotions by fostering acceptance through mindfulness and defusion techniques. The client is guided to experience internal events without effort in unworkable control. The ultimate goal is psychological and behavioral flexibility in the service of a more workable life. In this presentation we will briefly explore the theoretical underpinnings of ACT in addition to the six core components of ACT and how they are used to treat experiential avoidance and problematic rule following found in PTSD. A broad overview of the intervention techniques will also be presented. th 3 ISTSS 29 Annual Meeting Session Abstracts Pre-Meeting Institute (PMI) #4 Wednesday, November 6 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Grand Ballroom D Treatment of Complex Childhood Trauma: Comparative Application of Case Material to Four Leading Intervention Models (Practice/Child/Adol/M/Industrialized) Brown, Adam, PsyD1, Ford, Julian, PhD2, Blaustein, Margaret , PhD3, Habib, Mandy, PsyD4, Saxe, Glenn, MD5 1New York University School of Medicine, New York, New York, USA 2University of Connecticut Health Center, Farmington, Connecticut, USA 3Trauma Center at Justice Resource Institute, Brookline, Massachusetts, USA 4Adelphi University, Garden City, New York, USA 5New York University Langone Medical Center, New York, New York, USA This full-day pre-meeting workshop will begin with an Introductory-level morning session introducing participants to four leading evidence-based models for complex trauma intervention developed by members of the NCTSN over the past decade: ARC (Attachment, Self-Regulation and Competency), SPARCS (Structured Psychotherapy for Adolescents Responding to Chronic Stress) TARGET (Trauma Affect Regulation: Guide for Education and Therapy) and TST (Trauma Systems Therapy). Model developers will describe key facets of each model, including the processes and techniques through which each model addresses the core components of complex trauma intervention. The afternoon session will feature an Intermediate-level application of each intervention model to the same case, the "James" clinical vignette from the NCTSN's Core Concepts Curriculum. Presentations will be followed by integrative comments from the Program Chair from a Core Components perspective. Ensuing panel discussion will be audience-driven, and will focus on examination of the shared and unique elements of each treatment model, and consider model fit based on client-specific and contextual factors, including developmental stage, treatment setting, care-giving system and cultural considerations.

A Hat Girl’s Legacy When Marlene Crupi found Jason Downer’s top hat hidden under tree roots during the traditional “hat hunt” for Milwaukee Downer freshmen, she earned more than the distinction of being “First Hat Girl” for the Green Class of 1955. She was propelled into a leadership role that would last a lifetime. Milwaukee-Downer tradition calls for hat girls (each class had four) to exemplify the attributes of leadership in their academic and personal lives and to serve as class leaders. Marlene embraced this leadership role socially and academically. Professors such as Gladys Calbrick mentored her, while bolstering her self-confidence — providing momentum for her academic success at Downer and in graduate school. Marlene was delighted to be welcomed warmly into a supportive alumnae group who encouraged her service as an alumna. She responded by assuming a variety of volunteer roles, eventually serving as president of the Alumnae Association at the time of the consolidation in 1964.

  • The David Attenborough Effect
    The David Attenborough Effect As David Attenborough turned 92 this week, he has been in the news being celebrated for his incredible life. We wanted to discuss one element of that legacy which has been having a colossal effect on society’s views of sustainability and environmentalism within the UK recently. Since the airing of the recent series of ‘Blue Planet’ on the BBC. There has been a noticeable uplift in community awareness and engagement with plastic reduction and biodiversity protection. The format was simple, it was an hour-long show divided into two sections. The first 45-minutes showed the beauty of the blue planet with unrivalled production values letting people see inside this hidden world in such detail never seen before – it was engrossing and beautiful. The second part was a 15-minute segment at the end about how the people filmed it, how the crew accomplished the feats and the difficulties that stood between them. One particular clip that resonated with me was the footage of the mother Whale carrying her dead baby around days after it had passed away. The mother had been unknowingly consuming plastic, which had tainted her bloodstream and poisoned the calf who was feeding on her. Each episode had a moment like this that would grab people’s attention. The final episode was a call to action to protect the ocean and its inhabitants. It was incredibly beautiful, completely distressing and very effective. This dramatic display shook people from their apathy and got them to engage with the issue. Social media feeds lit up during and after the shows with trending topics like ‘beat plastic pollution’, ‘make a difference’ and ‘climate action’.

I began a journey through literature, filled with joy in reading and sharing an author’s words of faith, hope, and love of God with children. This journey has led me to creating and sharing a list of books containing virtuous themes woven throughout the author’s words. Children are impressionable. They are influenced by what is read to them and what they read. Their world today is far more open to many things through TV, music, and the World Wide Web. Teachers experience this influence from the day a child arrives in Pre-Kindergarten.

BBC Trust commentary with conclusions 3 2. BBC Executive response to Professor Jones’ report 9 3. Independent assessment by Professor Jones 14 The following appendices are available as separate PDFs on the Trust website: Appendix A: Imperial College London research Appendix B: Terms of Reference for the Review Clarification On 8 August 2011 the Trust published an updated version of Professor Steve Jones' independent review of the accuracy and impartiality of the BBC’s science coverage due to an ambiguity in the section on climate change. This reference was in the section on pages 71- 72, immediately before Professor Jones discussed statements about climate change contained in two BBC programmes. The Trust and Professor Jones now recognise that the passage as originally published could be interpreted as attributing statements made in those two programmes to Lord Lawson or to Lord Monckton. Neither programme specifically featured Lord Lawson or Lord Monckton and it was not Professor Jones’ intention to suggest that this was the case. Professor Jones has apologised for the lack of clarity in this section of his assessment, which has now been amended. 2 BBC TRUST COMMENTARY WITH CONCLUSIONS Summary Science plays an extremely important role in contemporary life. Scientific developments have the capacity to directly affect us all significantly. Debates relating to everything from climate change to medical advances to DNA technology feature prominently in our public discourse.
