must be constructed for each patient because each has a unique story. As the years pass,
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 directionsnamely accurate de
-individualizing (symptom-based) diagnosis and uniform, protocol-driven, brief therapy for all.

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.
WHAT DO PSYCHOTHERAPISTS NEED TO KNOW

FROM BRAIN DYNAMICS TO CONSCIOUSNESS:

How Matter Becomes Imagination
GERALD EDELMAN, MD, PHD
10:00 AM-1:00 PM
WORKSHOP 1
CLINICAL ADVANCES IN EMDR THERAPY:
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. Clinical 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.
WORKSHOP 2
UNIFIED PROTOCOL FOR THE TRANSDIAGNOSTIC TREATMENT
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 in adults through instruction, case examples, and video clinical vignettes.
WORKSHOP 3
REACH:
Pushing your Clinical Effectiveness to the Next Level
SCOTT MILLER, PHD
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 clinicians from average clinicians. How much better are these top performers? On average, they
achieve 50% better outcomes than their equally trained and credentialed peers. Whats 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 practiceswhat works and what doesnt. 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.
WORKSHOP 4
MINDFULNESS, MINDSIGHT AND THE BRAIN:
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.

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 WONT 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. Adlers 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 meaningmaking activities. In this workshop, Dr. Meichenbaum will consider both the positive and negative modes of spritual coping,
ways to assess for clients spirituality and ways to integrate spiritually-based interventions into psychotherapy, where indicated.
11:45 AM-1:15 PM
PSYCHOTHERAPYS 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 therapys attention to basic themes of living through
the design of Life Focus Communities.

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. Its 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.
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 clients 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 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, 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 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.

WORKSHOP 15
FUNDAMENTALS OF EMDR THERAPY AS AN INTEGRATIVE TRAUMA TREATMENT
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 HEROS JOURNEY AS A ROADMAP FOR MANAGING CRISIS AND HEALING
ROBERT DILTS, BA
The Heros 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 Heros 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 difficultiesfor example,
when they dont 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.

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 advance in the understanding of personality disorders, in spite of
internal inconsistencies 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.
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: CLO MADANES, LIC. PSIC.
Restricting psychotherapy to the limitations of the cognitivebehavioral 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 couples story is identical: ruptured connection and the desire for restoration. 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.

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 materiale.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.

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 individuals 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.

BRAIN WARS:
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.
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 persons emotion is registered, and three other features of each persons profile is
similar for how the person experiences anger, fear, disgust and anguish. Mapping 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 members self-perception is congruent with how the other member of the couple perceives him or her.

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 Ackermans 74-year-old husband, a gifted author and professor, suffered a savage stroke. When he
regained awareness he was afflicted with global aphasiatotal loss of languageand 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
brains ability to heal itself. By necessity, their lives changed dramatically. The challenge was to
regain what could be found, re-imagine what couldnt, and, by using unusual tools and methods,
create a new love story.

THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN

Heroic Steps to Transform Impossible Relationships
HARRIET LERNER, PHD
All growth takes place in relationships, which either enhance maturity, zest and selfregardor 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.

FRONTIER OF TRAUMA TREATMENT

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 usedependent 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 ones 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 peoples 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 environmental 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 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.
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 fields 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.

ON SHAPING ONE'S FUTURE

ALBERT BANDURA, PHD
Self-efficacy beliefs are the foundation of peoples aspirations, motivation, accomplishments 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

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.

GUERRILLA DIVORCE BUSTING: Working with Couples in the Trenches

MICHELE WEINER-DAVIS, MSW, LCSW
By the time most couples seek therapy, theyve 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
Well 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.
Ill 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, offering an overlay of how adverse child experiencesemotional 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.

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 materialincluding 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 OHANLON, MS
People with depression, one of the most common problems we see, are sometimes stuck and its
challenging to help them change. Medications dont 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.

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
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, youre no stranger to infidelity. And because healing from infidelity is
challenging, it behooves us to have a clear roadmap of the territory. Well 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. Well explore a step-by-step treatment plan and discuss how to tailor it to
each couples 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*
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
4:15 PM-5:45 PM
When drawing on the work of Milton Erickson, therapists can enliven 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.

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

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.
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 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.
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.

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 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.
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 psychotherapys 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 maximizing 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.

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.
WORKSHOP 42
RESISTANCE REVISITED
DAVID BURNS, MD
Dr. Burns will illustrate powerful techniques to bring patient resistance to conscious awareness at the start of therapy. He will demonstrate powerful paradoxical techniques to melt
away patient resistance and will provide exercises so participants can practice and begin to
learn these techniques.
WORKSHOP 43
CREATING EMOTIONAL IMPACT

JEFFREY ZEIG, PHD
Communication is composed of nonverbal/paraverbal contextual aspects; the words only convey
part of the message. We will study the effective use of prosody, proximity, gesture, expression
and context, and how those channels can be woven into the process of communication to create dramatic moments that empower effective clinical outcomes.
11:30 AM-12:30 PM

AARON BECK, MD
The discussion will center on the evolution of the cognitive model of psychopathology and psychotherapy since its earlier stage. The expansion of therapy has
included all of the common disorders and many of the medically related disorders
will be explored. Finally, we will focus on the future of cognitive therapy and psychotherapy in general. Special attention will be paid to the relationship of other psychotherapies,
including the approaches of positive psychology.

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. Psychotherapy 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) Describe the ten therapeutic patterns of Ericksonian influence communication. 4) Describe Ericksonian therapeutic rituals. 5) Name two positive effects of "tightening therapeutic sequences". 6)
