SUMMARY:Subverting Intergenerational Transmission of Trauma: Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP) Strategies that Promote Healing and Secure Attachment  - Presented by Vilma Reyes\, PsyD [Seminar]
DESCRIPTION:NARRATIVE \nThis training will deepen the understanding of how interpersonal and collective trauma manifests itself across generations if it’s not interrupted; and how providers can use intergenerational strengths and healing to lift hope and resilience in the family. Presenter will provide a solid foundation based on attachment theory and decades of research on the relational impact of complex trauma in early childhood. She will propose a theoretical frame to help providers conceptualize the common struggles between parents and young children\, and will present strategies informed by the evidence-based intervention\, Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP). There will be opportunities to apply these strategies to clinical scenarios. \n  \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES \nUpon completion of this workshop\, participants should be able to: \n\nIdentify two ways interpersonal and collective trauma impact children’s development and the caregiver-child relationship.\nDescribe two examples of how relational trauma causes ruptures in attachment.\nUnderstand and be able to identify two ways to apply the concepts of Ghosts in the Nursery and Angels in the Nursery in working with families.\nIdentify one way they would use intergenerational strengths in working with families.\nExplain the concept of the CPP Triangle of Explanations and name one example of how to use it in working with families.\nIdentify two ways the strategies learned aim to interrupt the intergenerational transmission of trauma.\n\n  \nCOURSE OUTLINE – 6 hrs   (VIRTUAL) \n9:00 – 10:00 am         \nIntroduction and review of the impact of interpersonal and collective trauma \n10:00 -10:30 am     \nIntergenerational transmission of trauma: Ghosts and Angels in the Nursery \n10:30 – 10:50 am        \n  Break \n10:50 am – 12:00 pm \nIntergenerational transmission of trauma: Ghosts and Angels in the Nursery continued. \n12:00 – 1:00 pm    \nLunch Break \n1:00 – 1:20 pm       \nInterrupting intergenerational transmission of trauma \n1:20 to 2:30 pm    \nReflective practice as a way to prevent vicarious trauma \n2:30 – 2:40 pm   \nBreak \n2:40 to 4:00 pm   \nWrapping up\, questions and discussion \n4:00 pm         \nEnd \nCONTENT CURRICULUM \n\n\n\nThis course builds on a foundation of attachment theory\, basic early childhood development\, and trauma theory. Content will integrate and deepen these concepts and provide examples of Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP) informed interventions to intervene across generations.\nThere is a robust body of literature to support the profound impact of early childhood adversity in one’s physical and mental wellbeing across the lifespan. Learning strategies that can be implemented with caregivers and their children to interrupt the intergenerational transmission of trauma is of utmost relevance to psychological practice.\nThis is an intermediate to advanced level course aimed at licensed mental health professionals.\nCPP is an evidence-based intervention supported by fivr randomized controlled trials and extensive pre-post research over the course of 24 years. The limitations and risks of learning trauma-focused modalities is that it might trigger one’s own unhealed trauma. Trainer will be mindful of this in the selection of the materials and will give participants the choice to regulate as needed. The limitations and risks to CPP-informed interventions\, as with any therapeutic intervention\, is that each person might respond differently. Clinicians have the responsibility to present clients with informed consent about the potential benefits and risks of any intervention.\nThis healing-centered approach acknowledges the strong individual and collective impact of complex trauma—structural inequalities\, racial violence and more—and encourages participants to question systems of oppression that often cause the historical trauma that is transmitted across generations. This course also taps into the collective strength and wisdom within communities to propel us towards equity and healing.\n\n\n\n  \n\nCOST:  \nCIP Members: \n$100 early registration 10 business days prior to seminar; $120 after \nNon-Members:  \n$130 early registration up to 10 business days prior to seminar\, $150 after \nCEs: 6 CEs for LMFTs\, LCSWs\, and Psychologists. Participants must attend the full live session and complete the evaluation at the end to receive a CE completion certificate. \nCommunity Institute for Psychotherapy is approved by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education for psychologists.

SUMMARY:What’s Gone Wrong with the American Mind and What We Clinicians Can Do About It  - Presented by Bryant Welch\, JD\, PHD\, ABPP [Class]
DESCRIPTION:NARRATIVE \nOver the last decade the political climate in America has been especially perplexing for therapists and their patients alike. In this workshop\, Dr. Welch\, a highly trained psychotherapist and political advocate for mental health and social justice\, will describe in clinical terms just how and why so many minds are running amok. He will illustrate how minds are overtaxed and what needs to be done to refortify them so they can fill the many demanding tasks of participating in a democracy. \nDr. Welch’s written works on the topic\, based on his personal experience in Washington\, D.C.\, have been extremely prophetic as he has predicted since the early 2000’s the increasing deterioration of Americans’ psychological functioning in the political arena and their increasing vulnerability to authoritarian minds. More specifically\, he explains the psychological vulnerabilities the contemporary mind has to challenge its ability to form a solid reality sense; essential to uphold the demands a democracy place on its citizens. \nHe will show how and why the reality functioning has been undercut by social and political forces\, some of them by design and some not. He will also show how other shifts in the structure of our society are further disrupting our embattled minds. Finally\, drawing on many changes in the mental health community\, he will show how we can begin to reverse these corrosive forces. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES \n Upon completion of this workshop\, participants should be able to: \n\nList three impacts current forms of political manipulation have on the American Mind.\nIdentify areas of the mind that are particularly vulnerable to political manipulation.\nList three reasons why political gaslighting has been so much more powerful in contemporary America.\nExplain the vulnerabilities of the mind in key areas in a way that will help attendees’ patients develop an ability to see through and resist the impact of political gaslighting.\nDescribe the relationship between trauma and political confusion.\nExplain three reasons why conspiracy theories and irrational political attitudes are the inevitable result of contemporary political manipulation.\nIdentify how eastern contemplative traditions can be helpful at the present time for strengthening the mind of patients and therapists alike.\n\n  \nCOURSE OUTLINE – 4 Hours \n9:00 to 10:15 am    \nDr. Welch will provide the dynamic model of the mind that has been so traumatized that people are now unable to form their own view of reality. \n10:15 to 11:00 am    \nIn this section\, Dr. Welch will describe what he calls the true battleground states in America; paranoia\, sexual perplexity\, and envy\, and illustrate how they are used to manipulate the mind and cause people to support candidates who do not have their best interest at heart and divide Americans from one another. \n11:00 to 11:15 am \nBreak \n11:15 am to 12:00 noon \nDr. Welch will show how critical professions and institutions that have historically supported the independent functioning of the mind have been themselves undermined and are now largely unable to fulfill their historical roles to help stabilize the American mind in its hour of crisis. \n12:00 noon to 1:00 pm \nDr. Welch will explain why\, despite these assaults on the mind\, there is great hope for the American mind\, especially given the increasing penetration of Eastern contemplative practices. \n  \nCOURSE CURRICULUM  \n\n\n\nThe program shows attendees how to apply the psychological concepts of reality testing\, regression\, paranoia\, envy\, and sexual perplexity to the instability in the American political world.\nThe knowledge participants gain will enhance their clinical work by helping them see that many of the psychological concepts they employ in assessing and treating the human mind in their practices are very powerful explanatory agents for the massive chaos currently confronting the American political realm.\nThe target audience is everyone who is working clinically in the mental health field. The concepts will be explained simply enough so that they will be accessible to participants who are beginners in the field\, as well as those with advanced knowledge.\nThe content is based on many materials and articles that have been peer reviewed and others that have been reviewed by leading legal\, political\, and psychological scholars. None of the content involves risk.\nThe clinical approach presented can be applied to all clients\, independent of cultural and role differences. Most importantly\, however\, it explains at length how primitive racist attitudes\, unconscious homophobic feeling states\, and misogyny have been used to manipulate the mind in the political arena.\n\n\n\n  \n\nCOST:  \nCIP Members: \n$75 early registration 10 business days prior to seminar; $90 after \nNon-Members:  \n$100 early registration up to 10 business days prior to seminar\, $115 after \nCEs: 4 CEs for LMFTs\, LCSWs and Psychologists; Participants must attend the full live session and complete the evaluation at the end to receive a CE completion certificate. \nCommunity Institute for Psychotherapy is approved by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education for psychologists.

SUMMARY:Psychoanalytically Informed Assessment of Character Pathology  Presented by Matthew Bennett\, PsyD [Seminar]
DESCRIPTION:NARRATIVE \nThis presentation serves as the introduction to a series of planned seminars on specific personality styles. The seminar will review broadly psychodynamic perspectives on the diagnosis of personality organization and personality disorder.   The emphasis will be diagnosing personality organization as an aid to conducting psychotherapy.  Dr. Bennett will provide an overview of the psychodynamic sensibility in diagnosing personality disorder\, highlighting the clinical usefulness of identifying and describing patterns of handling affect\, defensive styles\, and perceiving interpersonal reality.  This discussion will include rationales for diagnosis (including cautions about the limits of diagnosis) and the importance of assuming certain “stances” in psychotherapy based on personality diagnosis.  Dr. Bennett will also review the traditional tripartite psychoanalytic rubric of organizing personality development into psychotic\, borderline\, and neurotic ranges of organization\, including the clinical implications for each.  The presentation will then include a more in-depth analysis of some of the more prominent personality styles\, including schizoid\, narcissistic\, histrionic\, and depressive styles. As a result\, the presentation will include emphasis on both level of personality organization and type. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES \n\n\n\nUpon completion of this workshop\, participants should be able to:\nDemonstrate working knowledge of characteristic defensive styles associated with commonly documented personality organizations\, as evidenced by a case role-play.\nIdentify four key features of psychotic\, characterological / borderline\, and neurotic / normal personality development in therapy populations.\nAnalyze key features of interpersonal behavior in such a way as to develop tentative hypotheses about underlying character organization through a sample case conceptualization.\nCreate a psychoanalytically informed psychotherapy case conceptualization based on identification of defensive styles\, as evidenced by sample case conceptualization practice.\n\n\n\nCOURSE OUTLINE \n8:30 am    \nRegistration \n9:00 am   \nIntroduction of presenter \n9:15 am    \nThe psychodynamic sensibility and underlying assumptions.  Functional vs. Trait based descriptions.  The role of symptoms and goals of treatment. \n10:00 am       \nCriteria for developmental health of the personality: mentalization\, ambivalence\, observing ego\, affect tolerance\, reality testing\, & mature vs. primitive defenses \n10:15-10:30   \nBreak \n10:30 am  \nPsychotic\, Borderline\, and Neurotic Levels of Personality Development \n11:00 am  \nSchizoid personalities \n12:00 pm     \nLunch Break \n1:00 pm    \nNarcissistic personalities \n2:00 pm \nHistrionic Personalities \n3:00 pm   \nDepressive Personalities \n4:00 pm \nEnd of Conference \n  \nCONTENT CURRICULUM \n\n This presentation builds upon key competencies\, skill sets\, and knowledge bases associated with the literature of contemporary psychoanalytic psychotherapy\, including models of object relations\, mentalization\, self-psychology\, and principles of intersubjectivity. It builds upon graduate-level concepts and elaborates them into applied clinical methodologies directly relevant to psychodynamically informed psychotherapy.\nThis presentation directly informs the clinical praxis of applied psychotherapy. It includes a review of theoretical considerations as well as praxis considerations which directly inform treatment planning\, case conceptualization\, and the boundaries established in psychotherapy.\nThe content of this presentation represents intermediate level application of principles of psychodynamically informed psychotherapy. It presumes basic level knowledge of the assumptions and world-view inherent to several models of psychoanalytic psychotherapy (that is\, basic knowledge the principles of object relations\, self-psychology\, and related concepts).\nThe content of this presentation is comprehensively based in the established literature of contemporary psychoanalytically informed psychotherapy\, especially as it relates to personality theory and self-psychology. The concepts and methodologies described are characteristic of the broadly accepted principles and theoretical frames associated with this well-documented model of psychotherapy.  The inherent limitations of this content include the well-documented difficulties in establishing the empirical evidence of efficacy among competing models of psychotherapy\, which are complicated by competing assumptions about what represents desirable outcomes (e.g.\,behavior change vs. development of psychological capacities which may be difficult to measure).  The risks involved in this presented content include transient discomfort and emotional dislocation involved in addressing basic personality patterns which may be recognized as important parts of the selves of the participants.\nThis presentation will include a discussion of the cultural\, racial\, and gender-based manifestation of personality patterns\, and the way culture acts as a lens to the manifestation of underlying character structure. For example\, the discussion will include analysis of the complex reasons why certain personality traits appear associated with gender\, and the relationship between these observed character traits and the forces of socialization and culture.\n\n  \n\nCOST:  \nCIP Members: \n$100 early registration 10 business days prior to seminar; $120 after \nNon-Members:  \n$130 early registration up to 10 business days prior to seminar\, $150 after \nCEs: 6 CEs for LMFTs\, LCSWs\, and Psychologists.

SUMMARY:From Accommodation to Emancipation: Insights from Contemporary Psychoanalysis on Finding Freedom from Traumatic Attachments  - Presented by Jane Rubin\, PhD\, PhD\, PsyD [Study Group] [8 Sessions]
DESCRIPTION:Eight sessions\, the third Friday of the month:\nOct 20\, Nov 17\, Dec 15\, 2023; Jan 19\, Feb 16\, Mar 15\, Apr 19\, May 17\, 2024 \n  \n\nNARRATIVE: \n\nMost patients come into therapy with hope for relief from their traumas\, and with dread that therapy itself will be traumatizing. Anna Ornstein famously referred to this dread as “the dread to repeat” — patients’ anxiety that their therapists will treat them the same way as the traumatizing figures of their past. \nSelf-psychology and intersubjectivity theory have developed an extensive literature about how therapists can recognize the dread to repeat\, and how we can act in ways that\, over time\, both help patients to understand their trauma and its effect on their lives\, and to feel less potentially traumatized by the therapy process itself. \nIn many essays over the course of his career\, the self-psychologist Bernard Brandchaft identified an equally powerful anxiety that therapists often fail to recognize – what he called “the dread not to repeat.” The dread not to repeat is the overwhelming anxiety that accompanies the loosening of emotional ties to traumatizing figures. It is often responsible for situations in which therapy grinds to a halt\, or even seems to be going backwards\, as patients seem to surrender the gains they’ve made and return to the emotional patterns that brought them into treatment in the first place. \nHelping patients overcome these anxieties\, so they can free themselves from the traumatic attachments that are imprisoning them\, requires recognizing when patients are exhibiting the dread to repeat and when they are exhibiting the dread not to repeat\, and adjusting our interventions accordingly. Failure to do this can result in treatments that can feel stuck\, and that become frustrating to both patient and therapist. \nIn this class\, we’ll study the work of Brandchaft\, along with other practitioners of contemporary self-psychology and intersubjectivity theory\, to understand how to recognize the difference between the dread to repeat and the dread not to repeat\, and to work effectively to help patients free themselves from traumatic attachments. \nTopics will include: 1) the difference between the dread to repeat and the dread not to repeat\, and how to work effectively with each; 2) the importance of tracking patients’ affective shifts from enthusiasm to malaise; 3) pathological accommodation\, and how to recognize and work with it; 4) working with depression; 5) working with obsessional disorders. \nThe seminar will include discussion of readings\, followed by case presentations by the participants. The case presentations are intended to help participants effectively translate the ideas of Brandchaft and other writers from theory to practice. Participants should develop greater facility in recognizing\, and helping patients to find relief from\, traumatic attachments. \n  \n2. LEARNING OBJECTIVES:  \nUpon completion of this workshop\, participants should be able to: \n\nExplain the difference between the dread to repeat\, and the dread not to repeat.\nDescribe three different techniques for working with the dread to repeat versus the dread not to repeat.\nDemonstrate three effective ways of tracking affective shifts from enthusiasm to malaise.\nDefine pathological accommodation and explain how it differs from other forms of attachment.\nExplain the difference between trailing edge and forward edge transferences.\nDemonstrate three ways of working with forward edge versus trailing edge transferences.\nExplain three ways of working with depressive disorders from an intersubjective perspective.\nExplain how to work with obsessional disorders from an intersubjective perspective.\n\n  \n3. COURSE OUTLINE – 3 HOURS:  \n12:30-1:15 pm \nInstructor will provide an in-depth analysis of a core concept in intersubjectivity theory. Each class will focus on one of the following concepts: 1) the difference between the dread to repeat and the dread not to repeat; 2) the different techniques for working with the dread to repeat versus the dread not to repeat; 3) effective ways of tracking affective shifts from enthusiasm to malaise; 4) pathological accommodation\, and explain how it differs from other forms of attachment; 5) trailing edge and forward edge transferences; 6) how to work with forward edge versus trailing edge transferences; 7) working with depressive disorders; 8) working with obsessional disorders. \n1:15-2:30 pm \nA participant will present a case and the class will discuss the case with the aim of integrating the theoretical concepts discussed in the first part of the class with actual clinical material. \n  \n4. CONTENT CURRICULUM \n\nStudents in doctoral programs in psychology are usually introduced to basic psychoanalytic and psychodynamic concepts. They rarely receive any exposure to contemporary psychoanalysis and to the many ideas about the treatment process it proposes. This course builds upon students’ doctoral level familiarity with basic psychoanalytic concepts to introduce them to more contemporary ways of thinking and practicing.\nMany clinical psychologists struggle with how to successfully work with patients who seem to regress at a certain point in their therapy. They often come to the conclusion that the therapy has been a failure\, and they blame themselves for this. This content is specifically designed to give therapists more conceptual tools\, and practice in applying them\, so they can recognize when pathological accommodation is keeping patients from making further progress in therapy.\nThe content for this course is intermediate. It assumes that participants have had some postgraduate clinical experience\, and that they have a basic familiarity with psychoanalytic ideas such as transference.\nI don’t believe that there are risks to this material if people understand it well. One of the main objectives of contemporary psychoanalytic practice is not to injure our patients. One of the main objectives of this course is to help therapists work effectively so that their patients are able to achieve their goals without being retraumatized by their therapy. The limitations are that no one should ever rely on one group of theories in their work. There is nothing in contemporary psychoanalysis that precludes the use of CBT\, DBT\, or any other non-psychoanalytic technique when that technique will be useful to the patient.\nThe entire emphasis of contemporary psychoanalysis—and\, especially\, of self-psychology\, intersubjectivity theory\, and specificity theory—is that each patient and therapist brings his or her entire self into the treatment. This includes individual\, cultural\, and role differences. A major focus of this course is understanding how these differences play a role in the treatment\, and how understanding how best to work with them can enrich the therapeutic process.\n\n  \n\nCOST:  \nCIP Members:\n$260 early registration up to 10 weekdays prior to first session\, $280 after \nNon-Members:\n$340 early registration up to 10 weekdays prior to first session\, $360 after \nCEs: 16 CEs for LMFTs & LCSWs and 16 CEs for Psychologists. Certificates issued after completion of 8 sessions. \nCommunity Institute for Psychotherapy is approved by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education for psychologists. Community Institute for Psychotherapy maintains responsibility for this program and its content. \nCancellations must be received in writing by email: Full refund if canceled 48 hours prior to the event; $25 cancellation fee if canceled with less than 48 hours’ notice. \nAccommodation for Special Needs: Accommodations will be made wherever possible to accommodate those with disabilities.  Please let us know of any disabilities upon registration\, to ensure that proper accommodations are put in place prior to workshop/training. \nGrievance Procedure: CIP will respond to complaints in a reasonable\, ethical and timely manner\, when submitted by program attendees in writing to the Chair of CIP’s Professional Development Committee. \nAnti-Discrimination Policy: CIP shall not discriminate against any individual or group with respect to any service\, program or activity based on gender\, race\, creed\, national origin\, sexual orientation\, religion\, age or other prohibited basis.

SUMMARY:Developments in Interventional Psychiatry: ECT\, TMS\, Psychedelic Medicine and the intersection with psycho-spiritual experience accessed through expanded states of consciousness  - Presented by: Kaila Compton\, MD\, and Eleanor Woodward\, MD [CLASS]
DESCRIPTION:NARRATIVE: \nWe’re in a rich and revolutionary time\, exploring a new landscape of interventions in psychiatry – and new understandings about what leads to psychic relief. Evolving brain science and a resumption of research into the beneficial effects of psychedelics on mental health is leading to new interventions for patients who have not responded to traditional psychiatric medications and therapy. The early research findings signal a paradigm shift in how we understand and treat human suffering and personal growth in all its forms. Many of these treatments have been historically misrepresented\, misunderstood\, or met with healthy skepticism by the medical and psychological communities\, and wariness by patients. As the benefit and mechanism of action in these interventions is better understood and the outcomes are more widely recognized and established through clinical research trials\, their use is becoming more familiar and easily integrated into our armamentarium of approaches to psychological distress and wellness. \nThis seminar is an opportunity to hear from two psychiatrists from our community who are on the cutting edge of providing these treatments. We will explore the history and current research on these new interventions\, and how they give us a different perspective on the treatment of specific mental health conditions\, and on experiences of wholeness\, self-acceptance\, and safety. We’ll consider when to refer patients for treatment\, how to access evidence-based interventions and practitioners\, what the process looks like for patients\, and what benefits and risks to anticipate. We will look at clinical material to reflect on how psychiatric and psychological approaches overlap and inform each other as a patient integrates these experiences\, and the role of psychotherapy as a critical complement. Finally\, we’ll look forward to what the future of psychiatry may offer in years to come\, and how the promise of these treatments may contribute to greater wellness for individuals\, communities\, and even society as a whole. \n  \n2.

CRITERION 1.1 to 1.3: \nThis program meets Criterion 1.2\, as it reflects ethical\, professional\, or regulatory developments relevant to the discipline of psychology. \n  \n6. COURSE CURRICULUM \n1) Describe how your program content will build upon the foundation of a completed doctoral program in psychology. \nThis program offers psychologists and other mental health clinicians a greater understanding of Interventional Psychiatry. This serves psychologists to more effectively collaborate with allied professionals\, and to better serve the needs of clients with difficult-to-treat mental conditions through knowledge of and access to a greater range of treatment interventions. \n2)  Describe how your content is specifically relevant to psychological practice\, education\, or science. \nThe field of Psychiatry continues to develop and reveal novel interventions that research indicates can have a significant impact on the reduction of psychological suffering. The ability of mental health practitioners to provide the highest quality of psychological services is enhanced by understanding the history\, mechanism of action\, benefit\, risk\, and means to refer patients to treatments offered by Interventional Psychiatry. \n3)  Describe your target audience and the instructional level of your content (introductory\, intermediate\, or advanced) \nThis advanced program is targeted to providers of psychological services in private practice or community mental health; to mental health professionals involved in the education\, training\, or supervision of psychological trainees; or leaders of mental health agencies that may provide referrals and recommendations in best practices in care for specific psychiatric conditions. \n4)  Describe the accuracy\, utility\, and the empirical basis of the materials that you will present. What are the limitations of the content being taught and their most common risks? \nThis program will present specific and general guidelines for assessing and referring patients to Interventional Psychiatry\, based on outcome research indicating that these treatments may offer more effective remission of symptoms than traditional psychopharmacologic interventions. The empirical bases of these findings were on hold for many years\, when these treatments were misunderstood or politicized. A resumption of research has led to a wider acceptance of\, and interest in\, novel approaches to psychological suffering and wellness. While many aspects of Interventional Psychiatry are still under investigation\, these treatments rely on policies\, procedures\, and general ethical and clinical guidelines published by the APA. Limitations include a) providing information about all possible benefits and potential risks is beyond the scope of this program\, b) treatment for individual patients requires professional assessment of that individual’s psychiatric and medical appropriateness\, c) treatment protocols are still in development\, and may include titration of dosing or a series of treatments to achieve the best remission of symptoms. \n5) Describe how your content reflects the appreciation of a diverse populations and how you intend to acknowledge and respect the richness of cultural\, individual and role differences. \nMental health practitioners serve a wide range of diverse clients. Therefore\, the content of this program will specifically address how providers take client diversity into consideration when considering Interventional Psychiatry treatments\, their perceived benefits\, and patient’s trepidation based on historical or cultural experiences of being subjected to novel medical treatment in the service of research. Sensitivity towards and accommodations for multiple areas of diversity will be addressed in this program. \n  \n\nCOST:  \nCIP Members: \n$75 early registration 10 business days prior to seminar; $90 after \nNon-Members:  \n$100 early registration up to 10 business days prior to seminar\, $115 after \nCEs: 3 CEs for LMFTs\, LCSWs\, and Psychologists. Participants must attend the full live session and complete the evaluation at the end to receive a CE completion certificate. \nCommunity Institute for Psychotherapy is approved by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education for psychologists. Community Institute for Psychotherapy maintains responsibility for this program and its content.  \nCancellation must be received in writing by email: Full refund if canceled 48 hours prior to the event; $25 cancellation fee if canceled with less than 48 hours’ notice.  \nAccommodations will be made wherever possible to those with disabilities.  Please let us know of any disabilities upon registration\, to ensure proper accommodations are put in place prior to workshop/training. \nGrievance Procedure: CIP will respond to complaints in a reasonable\, ethical and timely manner\, when submitted by program attendees in writing to the Chair of CIP’s Professional Development Committee. \nAnti-Discrimination Policy: CIP shall not discriminate against any individual or group with respect to any service\, program or activity based on gender\, race\, creed\, national origin\, sexual orientation\, religion\, age or other prohibited basis. CIP does not require attendees to adhere to any particular religion or creed in order to participate in training. CIP will not promote or advocate for a single modality of treatment that is discriminatory or likely to harm clients based on current accepted standards or practice. \n*There is no conflict of interest or commercial support related to this CE program.

SUMMARY:The Challenge of Extraversion: Staying Engaged with the Other  - Presented by John Beebe\, PhD [SEMINAR]
DESCRIPTION:**This event is zoom only** \nNARRATIVE: \nThe problem of the extravert in therapy is that the patient’s desire to stay engaged with significant Others places a demand for interaction upon the therapist who may be trying to get the patient to step back and reflect. For the therapist\, the paradox that emerges with patients who are skilled at interaction becomes\, how you help the extraverted well-adapted get past their own successes in that regard. This seminar will identify four types of extraverted consciousness that each of us has to some degree. It will discuss how patients preferring an extraverted consciousness may employ it with the expectation that the therapist\, since in a helping profession\, will want to connect also in an extraverted way. The difference between a normal extraverted transference and narcissistic demand will be explored\, and we will discover how even therapist who are primarily introverted can use extraverted consciousness to support clients in engaging with internal objects. \n  \n2.

CRITERION 1.1 to 1.3 \nThis course meets the Criterion 1.1. \n  \n6. CONTENT CURRICULUM \n1. Describe how your program content will build upon the foundation of a completed doctoral program in psychology. \nThe subject of personality differences present from birth and how they affect cognitive learning and affect regulation remains a research topic that is in its infancy within most graduate training programs in psychology. Howard Gardner’s work on multiple intelligences is an example of one approach to the subject. This presentation addresses that area of potentially fruitful inquiry. \n2. Describe how your content is specifically relevant to psychological practice\, education\, or science. \nEvery client has the capacity and need to develop their extraverted consciousness—to be engaged and able to identify and merge experientially with others responding to life experiences they do not want to face alone.  Extraverted clients tend to engage in this way almost immediately with their therapists.  Introverted clients also describe the same capacity in themselves when they are in the role of nurturing and mentoring other people.  Both kinds of clients need the therapist to be able to understand and support the client’s extraverted processes and realize that they are not necessarily self-falsifications. \n3. Describe your target audience and the instructional level of your content (introductory\, intermediate\, or advanced). \nThe target audience is psychologists who have had some clinical experience but are not well-trained in the Jungian theory of psychological type as a depth psychology model. \n4. Describe the accuracy\, utility\, and the empirical basis of the materials that you will present.  What are the limitations of the content being taught and their most common risks? \nTo accurately diagnose the innately natural psychological type of a client can be difficult\, but fortunately it is not necessary to do this right away to enable type theory to benefit a client. As we work with clients in psychotherapy\, we merely need to be attentive to what kinds of consciousness the client expresses and what kinds of s/he seems to be much less aware of. Over time\, a pattern of consciousness will emerge\, and the therapist can begin to see the client’s typological strengths and notice which types of consciousness are used defensively or under stress. In working with patients\, it is a mistake to assume too quickly that you know their psychological type\, even in cases where the client reports the result of a type of instrument\, such as the Myers-Briggs Indicator. These indicators can point the way toward a type of diagnosis\, but they certainly do not always give accurate or consistent results. \n5. Describe how your content reflects the appreciation of a diverse populations and how you intend to acknowledge and respect of the richness of cultural\, individual and role differences. \nThe theory of psychological type is one that recognizes and normalizes psychological diversity. It asserts that different people pay attention using different types of awareness and that all eight of these kinds of consciousness are equally valid and healthy\, though they are not all equally useful in some situation. Like individuals\, cultures and subcultures tend to emphasize and value certain types of consciousness more than others. Thus\, there can be conflicts and misunderstandings. As type theory has developed over the past century\, it has also become clearer that individuals gravitate to different types of consciousness depending on the role they are playing in each moment. Thus\, a person will consistently use one type of consciousness when they need to heroically rise to a challenge and master a situation but will turn to other types of consciousness when they are being parental\, or playful\, or are defending themselves under stress. \nBio \nJohn Beebe is the creator of the eight-function\, eight-archetype model of psychological types. A Jungian analyst and past president of the C.G Jung Institute of San Francisco\, he is the author of Energies and Patterns in Psychological Type: The Reservoir of Consciousness and co-editor\, with Ernst Falzeder\, of The Question of Psychological Types: The Correspondence of C.G Jung and Hans Schmid-Guisan. John has spearheaded a Jungian typological approach to the analysis of film and has written the preface to the recent Routledge Classics edition of Jung’s 1921 book\, Psychological Types. \n  \n\nCOST:  \nCIP Members: \n$100 early registration 10 business days prior to seminar; $120 after \nNon-Members:  \n$130 early registration up to 10 business days prior to seminar\, $150 after \nCEs: 6 CEs for LMFTs\, LCSWs\, and Psychologists.

SUMMARY:The Lively Language of the Dreaming Mind - Presented by Meredith Sabini\, PhD [CLASS]
DESCRIPTION:NARRATIVE: \nInterested in a fresh perspective on dreams and dreaming? Although dreams can be hard to understand due to their metaphoric and imagistic language\, much can be gleaned using the practical approach this workshop offers. How to obtain dreams on intake\, discern diagnostic and prognostic information from them\, and help clients link dream content to their ongoing issues—these will be our focus. \nUsing the “Anatomy of a Dream” protocol with dreams provided or brought in\, this in vitro workshop offers the unique opportunity to discover that dreams can clarify a client’s resilience\, object relations\, executive functions\, and core conflicts. By taking this workshop\, you will no longer feel stymied when a client asks what a dream “means” OR have to fall back on the standard clinical cliché\, “What do you think/feel?” By focusing your natural curiosity and good observational skills on what’s actually in a dream\, you will be able to formulate relevant questions and make sensitive and sensible comments that link dream content with a client’s situation. Suitable for psychotherapists of any orientation and experience level. \n  \n2. SOURCE MATERIAL \nBolstad\, C. et al. (2021). Factor analysis of disturbing dreams and nightmares.

SUMMARY:The Dynamics of Personality Development: Freud\, Klein\, and Bion Unplugged - Presented by Jennifer Kunst\, PhD [SEMINAR]
DESCRIPTION:**This event will be via zoom only** \nNARRATIVE: \nIn this workshop\, Dr. Jennifer Kunst will provide an in-depth exploration of key concepts of psychoanalysis from the vantage point of the dynamic process of personality development. She will draw from the ideas of Sigmund Freud\, Melanie Klein\, and Wilfred Bion\, applying their ideas to the challenges of modern life as well as clinical practice. Key concepts include various ways of conceptualizing the unconscious\, the life and death instincts\, psychic equilibrium and psychic change\, the Oedipus complex\, the interplay between dependence and independence\, transference\, and the interaction between internal and external worlds. She will utilize clinical case material\, movie clips\, poems\, and stories to bring these concepts to life. Two live role plays will demonstrate how these concepts can be applied to actual clinical psychotherapy practice. \nThe use of a psychoanalytic approach has a longstanding tradition\, beginning with Freud. His pioneering ideas were expanded by Melanie Klein and the rich clinical tradition that evolved from her clinical work with patients who are difficult to reach. This program overviews the historical roots of the Kleinian model as well as current creative thinking and application of her work to a wide variety of patient populations in psychotherapeutic practice. \n  \n2.

CONTENT CURRICULUM \n1) Describe how your program content will build upon the foundation of a completed doctoral program in psychology. \nDoctoral programs in psychology focus on short-term\, evidence-based general psychotherapy approaches. This program will offer a psychoanalytic model that has been demonstrated to offer deeper and more lasting psychotherapeutic change. \n2) Describe how your content is specifically relevant to psychological practice\, education\, or science. \nThe content of this program is focused on the psychoanalytic theory and technique of psychotherapy and its application to clinical cases in a wide variety of settings. \n3) Describe your target audience and the instructional level of your content (introductory\, intermediate\, or advanced). \nThe target audience includes practicing mental health clinicians working in individual psychotherapy. It will be accessible to students\, early career clinicians\, and experienced clinicians with basic psychodynamic training. \n4) Describe the accuracy\, utility\, and the empirical basis of the materials that you will present. What are the limitations of the content being taught and their most common risks? \nThere is extensive literature on the theory and clinical practice of psychoanalysis\, including British object relations theory and practice. There is also a growing body of research on the positive long-term outcomes of psychodynamic and psychoanalytic models. The limitations of this approach include the additional training\, time\, and cost needed to implement the model in actual practice. \n5) Describe how your content reflects the appreciation of a diverse populations and how you intend to acknowledge and respect of the richness of cultural\, individual and role differences. \nPsychoanalytic models do not often address diversity and differences. This workshop is an effort to widen this scope to demonstrate how the psychoanalytic model can be applied productively in a wide range of settings and to diverse clientele in a respectful\, sensitive\, and effective way. \n  \nBio \nDr. Jennifer Kunst is a clinical psychologist and psychoanalyst in private practice in Pasadena\, CA\, where she works with adults\, adolescents\, couples\, and families. She trained at the Psychoanalytic Center of California\, where she is a Training and Supervising Analyst and teaches courses on Kleinian theory and technique. She is passionate about distilling the complexity of psychoanalysis into ideas that can be applied to everyday life. Her outreach projects include her Psychology Today blog\, “A Headshrinker’s Guide to the Galaxy\,” and her book\, Wisdom from the Couch: Knowing and Growing Yourself from the Inside Out (Central Recovery Press\, 2014).  \n  \n\nCOST:  \nCIP Members: \n$100 early registration 10 business days prior to seminar; $120 after \nNon-Members:  \n$130 early registration up to 10 business days prior to seminar\, $150 after \nCEs: 6 CEs for LMFTs\, LCSWs\, and Psychologists.

SUMMARY:Healing at the Edge: Conscious Living\, Conscious Dying  – Presented by Dale Borglum [1 DAY WORKSHOP] [CO-SPONSORED]
DESCRIPTION:One Day – 8 CES\, $175 \nNARRATIVE: \nFor 35 years I have been blessed to be in close contact with many people who were approaching death. Almost all of these people were reaching out for healing – healing in relationship to death\, healing in relationship to illness\, in relationship to a wounded heart\, to separation from their own self. My consuming interest\, both personally and professionally\, has been the healing process. Why do some people experience wholeness as they approach death\, while others lose themselves in denial\, depression\, distraction? Why is it that some of the most alive and awake Westerners I’ve known have been\, almost without exception\, people near death? Is there some powerful truth about life and about healing that you and I can receive from these few who\, as they went through the process of dying\, deeply realized their own wholeness? \nBringing emotional/spiritual support to someone with a life-threatening illness is a twofold task.  First\, help the client realize they are more than that which will die – the finite self – the body and personality. At the same time\, honor this finite self\, healing its woundedness\, its identification with separateness. Rumi said “Grief is the garden of compassion.” This transmuting separateness of grief into the connectedness of compassion is that the heart of the work. Confusion\, anxiety\, depression\, anger are typical responses arising as the end of a life approaches\, both for patients and their families. \nThis presentation will explore possibilities for realizing wholeness at the edge of life where illness\, grief\, and loss arise. Both psychological and spiritual tools will be used in the investigation of these profound and challenging issues. We will offer participants the opportunity to explore the deeper questions surrounding death\, healing\, and the sacred\, so that each of us can better embody an enlivened sense of being in the world in each moment rather than a sense of isolation and denial. \n  \n2. SOURCE MATERIAL: \nThis program is derived from the following works: \nDrawing on over 40 years of clinical experience\, the presenter demonstrates a variety of psychological\, meditative\, and somatic techniques to enable workshop attendees to avoid burnout by recognizing and balancing their internal energetic responses and to help their clients work with fear of death. Longstanding attitudes and techniques from transpersonal psychology are first presented and then explored through experiential exercises. \nDass\, Ram\, Borglum\, Dale\, Goleman\, Daniel\, Bonner\, Dwarka.

CRITERION 1.1 to 1.3. \n1.1 Program content focuses on application of psychological assessment and/or intervention methods that have overall consistent and credible empirical support in the contemporary peer reviewed scientific literature beyond those publications and other types of communications devoted primarily to the promotion of the approach. \n  \n 6. CONTENT CURRICULUM \n1)  Describe how your program content will build upon the foundation of a completed doctoral program in psychology. \nThis program will build upon the foundation of a completed doctoral program in psychology by exploring the transpersonal\, the meditative\, and the spiritual components necessary for conscious death. We will explore how identification with ego structure and fear of death are intimately connected. \n2)  Describe how your content is specifically relevant to psychological practice\, education\, or science. \nThe aim of psychological practice traditionally is to create a healthier\, efficiently functioning mind and particularly a healthy ego structure. In the potentially profoundly transformative time at the end of life\, healing and understanding that transcend egoic concern are often more available than at any other time in a person’s life. The appreciation of this possibility is of central importance to those supporting clients who might be approaching death. \n3)  Describe your target audience and the instructional level of your content (introductory\, intermediate\, or advanced). \nThe target audience is clinical social workers\, marriage and family therapists\, psychologists and nurses working with patients confronting a life-threatening illness\, their loved ones\, and those grieving. Instruction summarizes introductory and intermediate foundational concepts which then leads to advance content for the majority of the workshop. \n4)  Describe the accuracy\, utility\, and the empirical basis of the materials that you will present.  What are the limitations of the content being taught and their most common risks? \nThe materials presented during this workshop have been developed and utilized during 40 years of working directly with thousands of dying clients\, their families and their caregivers. As well\, these materials have been presented during trainings at hundreds of hospitals and hospices throughout North America. The efficacy of this content is limited by the willingness of the client to explore the possibility of deep transformation during a time of great crisis. The effects of opioid analgesic medication and also bodily symptoms that often accompany the end stages of terminal illness both can limit the transformative power of the materials presented. The only risk that has been encountered is that occasionally when a client is consciously working with her fear of death\, long repressed difficult emotions can burst forth in her physically weakened condition requiring great sensitivity on the part of the practitioner. \n5) Describe how your content reflects the appreciation of a diverse populations and how you intend to acknowledge and respect of the richness of cultural\, individual and role differences. \nDr. Borglum spent years as a group facilitator at San Quentin Penitentiary and as an AIDS/HIV counsellor at High General Hospital in Oakland. At both of these facilities there was a wide range of race\, sexual orientation\, and socioeconomic backgrounds represented. When supporting a client who is confronting a life-threatening illness\, conditioned emotional patterns inherent in different backgrounds and orientations often mask the deeper underlying fear of death. Cultivating deeper awareness and compassion through the lecture and experiential materials presented during this workshop will enable participants to distinguish between cultural\, individual\, and role differences on the one hand\, and\, on the other\, inherent fear of death. \n  \nBIO: \nDale Borglum\, PhD\, founded and directed the Hanuman Foundation Dying Center in Santa Fe\, New Mexico\, the first residential facility in the United States to support conscious dying. He has been the Executive Director of the Living/Dying Project in Santa Fe and\, since 1986\, in the San Francisco Bay Area. He is the co-author with Ram Dass\, Daniel Goleman and Dwarka Bonner of Journey of Awakening: A Meditator’s Guidebook. Dale gives workshops on the topics of meditation\, healing\, and spiritual support for those with life-threatening illness\, and on caregiving as spiritual practice.

SUMMARY:Healing at the Edge: Conscious Living\, Conscious Dying – Presented by Dale Borglum\, PhD [2 DAY WORKSHOP] [CO-SPONSORED]
DESCRIPTION:Two Days – 15 CES\, $290 \nNARRATIVE: \nFor thirty-five years I have been blessed to be in close contact with many people who were approaching death. Almost all of these people were reaching out for healing – healing in a relationship to death\, healing in relationship to illness\, in relationship to a wounded heart\, to separation from their own self. My consuming interest\, both personally and professionally\, has been the healing process. Why do some people experience wholeness as they approach death while others lose themselves in denial\, depression\, distraction? Why is it that some of the most alive and awake Westerners I’ve known have been\, almost without exception\, people near death? Is there some powerful truth about life and about healing that you and I can receive from these few who\, as they went through the process of dying\, deeply realized their own wholeness? \nBringing emotional/spiritual support to someone with a life-threatening illness is a twofold task. First\, help the client realize they are more than that which will die – the finite self – the body and personality. At the same time\, honor this finite self\, healing it’s woundedness\, it’s identification with separateness. Rumi said\, “Grief is the garden of compassion.” This transmuting separateness of grief into the connectedness of compassion is the heart of the work. Confusion\, anxiety\, depression\, anger are typical responses arising as the end of a life approaches\, both for the patient and for their family. \nThis presentation will explore possibilities for realizing wholeness at the edge of life where illness\, grief and loss arise. Both psychological and spiritual tools will be used in the investigation of these profound and challenging issues. We will offer participants the opportunity to explore the deeper questions surrounding death\, healing and the sacred\, so that each of us can better embody an enlivened sense of being in the world each moment rather than a sense of isolation and denial. \n  \n2. SOURCE MATERIAL: \nThis program is derived from the following works: \nDrawing on over 40 years of clinical experience\, the presenter demonstrates a variety of psychological\, meditative\, and somatic techniques to enable workshop attendees to avoid burnout by recognizing and balancing their internal energetic responses and to help their clients work with fear of death. Longstanding attitudes and techniques from transpersonal psychology are first presented and then explored through experiential exercises. \nDass\, Ram PhD\, Borglum\, Dale PhD\, Goleman\, Daniel\, PhD\, Bonner\, Dwarka (1978)\nJourney of Awakening: A Meditator’s Guidebook\nBantam Books \nWilliam Rosa\, RN; MS\, Tarron Estes\, BA\, Jean Watson\, RN; PhD; FAAN (2016)\nCaring Science Conscious Dying: An Emerging Metaparadigm\nNursing Science Quarterly \nRaymond L.

CONTENT CURRICULUM \n1)  Describe how your program content will build upon the foundation of a completed doctoral program in psychology. \n2)  Describe how your content is specifically relevant to psychological practice\, education\, or science. \n3)  Describe your target audience and the instructional level of your content (introductory\, intermediate\, or advanced). \n4)  Describe the accuracy\, utility\, and the empirical basis of the materials that you will present.  What are the limitations of the content being taught and their most common risks? \n5) Describe how your content reflects the appreciation of a diverse population and how you intend to acknowledge and respect of the richness of cultural\, individual and role differences. \n************************ \n1) This program will build upon the foundation of a completed doctoral program in psychology by exploring the transpersonal\, the meditative\, and the spiritual components necessary for conscious death. We will explore how identification with ego structure and fear of death are intimately connected. \n2) The aim of psychological practice traditionally is to create a more healthy\, efficiently functioning mind and particularly a healthy ego structure. In the potentially profoundly transformative time at the end of life\, healing and understanding that transcend egoic concern are often more available than at any other time in a person’s life. The appreciation of this possibility is of central importance to those supporting clients who might be approaching death. \n3) The target audience is clinical social workers\, marriage and family therapists\, psychologists and nurses were working with patients confronting a life-threatening illness\, their loved ones\, and those grieving. Instruction summarizes introductory and intermediate foundational concepts which then leads to advanced content for the majority of the workshop. \n4) The materials presented during this workshop have been developed and utilized during 40 years of working directly with thousands of dying clients\, their families and their caregivers. As well these materials had been presented during trainings at hundreds of hospitals and hospices throughout North America. The efficacy of this content is limited by the willingness of the client to explore the possibility of deep transformation during a time of great crisis. The effects of opioid analgesic medication and also bodily symptoms that often accompany the end stages of terminal illness both can limit the transformative power of the materials presented. The only risk that has been encountered is that occasionally when a client is consciously working with her fear of death\, long repressed difficult emotions can burst forth in her physically weakened condition requiring great sensitivity on the part of the practitioner. \n5) Dr. Borglum spent years as a group facilitator at San Quentin Penitentiary and as an AIDS/HIV counselor at High General Hospital in Oakland. At both of these facilities there was a wide range of race\, sexual orientation\, and socioeconomic backgrounds represented. When supporting a client who is confronting a life-threatening illness\, conditioned emotional patterns inherent in different backgrounds and orientations often mask the deeper underlying fear of death. Cultivating deeper awareness and compassion through the lecture and experiential materials presented during this workshop will enable the participant to distinguish between cultural\, individual\, and role differences on the one hand\, and\, on the other\, inherent fear of death. \n  \nBIO: \nDale Borglum\, PhD\, founded and directed the Hanuman Foundation Dying Center in Santa Fe\, New Mexico\, the first residential facility in the United States to support conscious dying. He has been the Executive Director of the Living/Dying Project in Santa Fe and\, since 1986\, in the San Francisco Bay Area. He is the co-author with Ram Dass\, Daniel Goleman and Dwarka Bonner of Journey of Awakening: A Meditator’s Guidebook. Dale gives workshops on the topics of meditation\, healing\, and spiritual support for those with life-threatening illness\, and on caregiving as spiritual practice. He has a doctorate degree from Stanford University. \n  \n\nCOST:  \nTwo Days – 15 CES\, $290 \nYou may register online by visiting www.livingdying.org\, and clicking on Healing at the Edge: Conscious Living/Conscious Dying. You may also send a check or money order to Living/Dying Project at P.O.

SUMMARY:Embodied Anti-racism: Bringing a Systems Framework into Clinical Work  - Presented by Rachel Wilson\, LCSW [CLASS]
DESCRIPTION:NARRATIVE: \nIn this workshop\, we will be examining how we can integrate anti-racism principles into our work with clients in order to create a therapeutic space that acknowledges the ways that systemic oppression and racism impact how we do our clinical work. Somatics will be utilized as a tool to help build practitioners’ capacity to examine their own cultural frame and explore how that frame impacts transference and countertransference in clinical work. We will reflect upon the importance of understanding white racial socialization and the importance of bringing the conceptualization of race into work with all of our clients. We will explore microaggressions and the ways that they can show up in the therapy room\, as well as explore ways to take accountability and build capacity to have difficult conversations about race in our clinical work. We will utilize a variety of methodologies to dive into these topics\, including lecture\, multimedia\, small group activities\, clinical vignettes and role plays. \n  \n2.  SOURCE MATERIAL:  \nComas-Díaz\, L.\, & Rivera\, E.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:  \n Upon completion of this workshop\, participants should be able to: \n\nDefine systems of oppression\, white supremacy\, antiracism\, and liberation psychology\nUnderstand how systems and societal structures impact issues that show up in the therapy room\nDescribe the importance of examining white racial socialization in clinical work\nIdentify their own cultural frame and describe how that impacts their experience with clients\nBe able to utilize somatic practices and tools to better understand their own reactions to engaging in conversations about race\nUnderstand and describe microaggressions that can occur in therapy\nIdentify strategies to have effective conversations about race in the therapy room\n\n  \n4. COURSE OUTLINE – 4 HOURS:  \n9:00 – 10:15 am \nRachel Wilson will provide context through a lecture format to build a shared understanding of systems of oppression and provide an overview of the framework of liberation psychology. She will utilize clinical vignettes to explore how a systems framework can be helpful in clinical conceptualization and building a better understanding of the connection between individual and collective issues. \n10:15 – 11:00 am \nRachel will provide an overview of how culture and racial socialization impact our clinical work. We will explore the importance of understanding our own socialization in the context of transference and countertransference. The group will explore the Characteristics of White Supremacy Culture. We will use small group activities to explore the connection between these characteristics and mental health issues. \n11:00 – 11:15 am \n          Break \n11:15 – 12:00 pm \nRachel will lead the group in somatic practices and provide context for the importance of understanding the somatic manifestations of systems of oppression. We use multimedia experiences to explore the somatic response to different racial conversations in order to build self-awareness of our own personal reactions to topics of race. \n12:00 – 1:00 pm \nFinally\, we will explore microaggressions and how they show up in the therapy room. We will explore tools to manage defensive emotional reactions and take accountability for our actions and words during difficult conversations about race. We will utilize role playing to practice having emotionally charged conversations about race in the context of therapy. \n  \n5. CRITERION 1.1 TO 1.3:  \n This program meets Criterion 1.1. \n  \n6. CONTENT CURRICULUM: \n1) Describe how your program content will build upon the foundation of a completed doctoral program in psychology. \nThis workshop will expand the participants’ personal experiences and expand knowledge about how to bring in the ways that societal issues arise in the therapeutic context.  It will also add to a personal understanding of their own cultural and racial socialization as it relates to their therapeutic work. \n2) Describe how your content is specifically relevant to psychological practice\, education\, or science. \nThe knowledge the participants gain will enhance their clinical work by teaching clinicians how to understand the ways that our culture\, societal conditioning\, and systems of oppression show up in clinical work\, as well as provide tools to be able to navigate the work in a culturally responsive manner. \n3) Describe your target audience and the instructional level of your content (introductory\, intermediate\, or advanced). \nThe target audience is everyone who is working clinically in the mental health field.  The concepts will be explained simply enough so that they will be accessible to participants who are beginners in the field\, as well as those with advanced knowledge. \n4) Describe the accuracy\, utility\, and the empirical basis of the materials that you will present.  What are the limitations of the content being taught and their most common risks? \nThe content is based on materials and articles that come from multiple disciplines from both psychological texts to social justice organizing publications. There is limited information available in psychological services to fully address the issues of oppression in clinical practice\, so there is limited peer-reviewed literature on this topic. There is a risk of participants being emotionally triggered by the content due to the personal nature of the topics covered and potential conflict within the group as these issues are discussed. \n5) Describe how your content reflects the appreciation of a diverse populations and how you intend to acknowledge and respect of the richness of cultural\, individual and role differences. \nThe clinical approach presented can be applied to all clients\, independent of cultural and role differences. The cases selected for discussion will reflect diverse populations and the use of multimedia and resources from diverse thinkers. Authors selected for discussion in the theoretical part of this course are from diverse backgrounds and other sources of information will be offered to dive deeper into BIPOC thinkers on the subjects of anti-racism and liberation psychology. \n  \nBio \nRachel (she/her) is a psychotherapist\, yoga therapist\, and facilitator committed to supporting people who are impacted by personal\, systemic and vicarious trauma to re-embody and reconnect.

SUMMARY:Finding Confidence In an Age of Uncertainty: How Ideas From Contemporary Psychoanalysis Can Strengthen Clinical Decision Making  - Presented by Jane Rubin\, PhD\, PhD\, PsyD [STUDY GROUP] [EIGHT SESSIONS]
DESCRIPTION:Eight sessions\, the third Friday of the month:\nOct 21\, Nov 18\, Dec 16\, 2022; Jan 20\, Feb 17\, Mar 17\, Apr 21\, May 19\, 2023 \n  \nNarrative \nThe truths that classical psychoanalysis held to be absolute and unchanging–that the therapist is a blank screen whose personality plays no role in the therapeutic process; that self-disclosure can never be used to further therapeutic aims; that transference is a projection that has nothing to do with the therapist’s actual personality\, and so on– are no longer accepted by the vast majority of psychoanalytically informed psychotherapists. These principles have been replaced by the awareness that uncertainty is an inescapable feature of much of our clinical decision-making. \nWhile the abandonment of principles that seemed to impede\, rather than facilitate\, the therapeutic process has largely been greeted with a sense of liberation\, it has also led to a great deal of confusion. How do we make clinical judgments when there are no clear ground rules? What is transference if it’s not projection? How do we work with it? How do we know when to self-disclose and when not to? When is it best to offer interpretations\, and when do other kinds of responses better facilitate the goals of treatment? When do we stay focused on the patient’s perspective\, and when do we introduce our own? These are only a few of the questions that inform our everyday thinking about our work. \nContemporary psychoanalysis provides no definitive answers to these questions. However\, it has developed a rich literature that attempts to deepen our understanding of how we can work effectively and confidently in this changed landscape while resisting the temptation to create a new set of absolute\, inflexible rules. Self psychology\, intersubjectivity theory\, and specificity theory\, in particular\, have introduced a whole range of concepts\, from optimal responsiveness\, to self and mutual regulation\, to the distinction between the leading and trailing edges of the transference\, to give new depth to our understanding of how we can be effective agents of healing for our patients. \nIn this study group\, we’ll explore the ideas that contemporary self psychology\, intersubjectivity theory\, and specificity theory have developed to enrich our understanding of the clinical relationship and give us greater confidence in our ability to make sound clinical judgments. \nTopics will include: 1) Optimal responsiveness and how to become a more optimally responsive clinician; 2) Different dimensions of the transference and how to work effectively within them; 3) Self and other focused listening\, and the clinical contexts in which each should be used; 4) Constructing model scenes and using them effectively; 5) The roles of self and mutual regulation in the therapeutic relationship. \nThe seminar will include discussion of readings\, followed by case presentations by the participants. The case presentations are intended to help participants effectively translate the foundational clinical concepts of self psychology\, intersubjectivity theory and specificity theory from theory to practice. Participants should develop greater confidence in using these concepts to strengthen their clinical judgment. \n  \nLearning Objectives \nUpon completion of this workshop\, participants should be able to: \n\nExplain optimal frustration and optimal responsiveness\, and how they differ from each other.\nExplain the difference between needed relationships and repeated relationships\, and use clinical examples to demonstrate how to work in each mode.\nDefine self and other related listening\, and identify the clinical contexts in which each listening style should be employed.\nDefine model scenes and formulate them for their current cases.\nExplain the difference between the leading edge and the trailing edge of the transference.\nExplain self and mutual regulation\, and how they contribute to optimally responsive clinical interventions.\nExplain enactments from the perspective of intersubjectivity theory and specificity theory.\nDefine the role of interpretation in optimally responsive treatments.\n\nBio \nJane Rubin\, PhD\, PhD\, PsyD\, received her PhD in philosophy from UC Berkeley and her PhD in clinical psychology from the Wright Institute. She did her psychoanalytic training at the Institute of Contemporary Psychoanalysis in Los Angeles. She is in private practice in Berkeley. \n  \n\nCOST:  \nCIP Members: \n$260 early registration 10 business days prior to course; $280 after \nNon-Members:  \n$340 early registration up to 10 business days prior to course\, $360 after \nCEs: 16 CEs for LMFTs\, LCSWs\, and Psychologists.

SUMMARY:Healing the Cultural Outsider Wound in Psychotherapy  - Presented by Dennis Portnoy\, LMFT [CLASS]
DESCRIPTION:NARRATIVE:  \nMany who seek psychotherapy were either born in the United States of parents from another culture\, or they arrived here as children. Surrounded by peers who look and speak differently\, they often have the added burden of parents relying on them to help navigate in a new country. Eager to “fit in” they become hyper-focused on conforming and achieving\, feeling tremendous pressure to go above and beyond what is expected. The very qualities that contribute to their success in the world often perpetuate their unhappiness and disconnection from themselves. \nThere are some consistent psychological dynamics regardless of the specific cultural background. In their early experience in school\, these clients are aware that they look\, sound and view the world differently than their peers. The cultural outsider wound stems from a profound sense of being “other” that often leaves one feeling shame and a sense of inferiority. Becoming adept at taking their cues for how to act by looking outside of themselves\, cultural outsiders mold their responses to fit other’s expectations. \nThrough lecture as well as dyad work\, this course will offer a deeper understanding into the unique survival strategies employed in an attempt to cope with the difficulties that arise from feeling different. There will be particular emphasis on how these clients define themselves and measure their self-worth. Participants will also learn a powerful intervention called “piercing the threat” designed to deconstruct an identity and sense of worth that revolves around performance\, how one is being perceived\, and their usefulness to others. \n  \n2.

SUMMARY:Personality Dynamics in Psychotherapy: A Roadmap for Lasting Change  – Presented by Jonathan Shedler\, PhD [Zoom Seminar]
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Master clinicians know meaningful and lasting psychological change does not come from focusing on symptoms\, but on the personality dynamics and patterns underlying them. In the morning lecture\, “Personality Pathways to Depression\,” Dr. Shedler will discuss the personality styles most often seen in clinical practice (e.g.\, narcissistic\, borderline\, depressive\, obsessive-compulsive)\, drawing on and integrating long-standing clinical wisdom with contemporary empirical findings. He will discuss how each personality style represents a unique psychological pathway to a diagnosis of “depression” that requires a distinct treatment focus and will offer clinical strategies for deepening treatment. \nBuilding on concepts from the morning\, the afternoon workshop will have a hands-on clinical focus. Participants will develop a deeper appreciation of the role of personality dynamics in psychotherapy through clinical case presentations by workshop participants\, with case discussion\, “live” supervision\, and role playing to demonstrate effective intervention. Dr. Shedler will emphasize how personality dynamics and relational patterns unavoidably play out in the therapy relationship\, and how to use the therapy relationship constructively in the service of deep and lasting change. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES:   \nUpon completion of this workshop\, participants should be able to: \n\nUnderstand how familiar personality styles represent distinct pathways to depressive disorders\nDescribe how narcissistic\, paranoid\, and borderline personality styles create psychological vulnerability to depression\nDescribe how borderline personality is a distinct psychological pathway to depression\nDescribe the defining features of depressive personality as a diagnostic construct and its implications for treatment\nGain an introductory-level familiarity with the Shedler-Westen Assessment Procedure (SWAP) personality assessment method\nDevelop a deeper understanding of role of personality in clinical treatment through case discussion\, role play\, and live clinical supervision\n\n  \nJonathan Shedler\, PhD is known internationally as an author\, consultant\, and master clinician and teacher. He is author of numerous scientific and scholarly articles\, creator of the Shedler-Westen Assessment Procedure (SWAP) for personality diagnosis and clinical case formulation\, and co-author of the Psychodynamic Diagnostic Manual (PDM-2).  He has more than 25 years’ experience teaching and supervising psychologists\, psychiatrists\, and psychoanalysts.  He is a clinical professor of psychiatry at the University of California\, San Francisco (UCSF)\, faculty member at the San Francisco Center for Psychoanalysis\, and Consulting Supervisor at California Pacific Medical Center. \n  \n\nCOST:  \nCIP Members:  \n$100 early registration 10 business days prior to seminar; $120 after \nNon-Members:  \n$130 early registration up to 10 business days prior to seminar\, $150 after \nCEs: 6 CEs for LMFTs\, LCSWs\, and Psychologists.

SUMMARY:Embracing Reality\, Choosing Change\, Surrendering Control: A Therapist’s Guide to the Gems in Object Relations Theory  – Presented by Jennifer Kunst\, PhD [SEMINAR]
DESCRIPTION:In this workshop\, Dr. Jennifer Kunst will provide an overview of the key concepts of the British object relations model of psychoanalysis\, emphasizing their application to clinical practice: nature-nurture\, personality development\, the role of the unconscious\, the internal object world\, Melanie Klein’s paranoid schizoid and depressive positions\, and Wilfred Bion’s learning through experience. She will then revision these concepts as three essential practices that undergird mental health and are highly desirable outcomes of psychodynamic psychotherapy: embracing reality\, choosing change\, and surrendering control. This model will be utilized in exploring detailed clinical case material. \nFinally\, Dr. Kunst will share the little known idea gems published by psychoanalyst Ella Freeman-Sharpe in 1930\, in which she creatively and compellingly outlined the essential qualifications of the patient and the clinician for successful psychodynamic treatment. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES:   \nUpon completion of this workshop\, participants should be able to: \n\nName four key concepts of the British object relations model;\nDistinguish the anxieties\, object relations\, and defenses of Melanie Klein’s paranoid schizoid vs. depressive positions;\nDescribe Wilfred Bion’s approach to psychological development;\nList three commitments of the embrace contract;\nDifferentiate the concepts of change and choosing change;\nIdentify the psychoanalytic theory underlying the concept of surrendering control;\nList three qualifications of the patient in psychodynamic therapy;\nList three qualifications of the therapist in psychodynamic therapy.\n\n  \nDr. Jennifer Kunst is a clinical psychologist and psychoanalyst in private practice in Pasadena\, CA where she works with adults\, adolescents\, couples\, and families. She trained at the Psychoanalytic Center of California\, where she is a Training and Supervising Analyst and teaches courses on Kleinian theory and technique.  She is passionate about distilling the complexity of psychoanalysis into ideas that can be applied to everyday life. Her outreach projects include her Psychology Today blog\, “A Headshrinker’s Guide to the Galaxy”\, and her book\, Wisdom from the Couch: Knowing and Growing Yourself from the Inside Out (Central Recovery Press\, 2014). \n  \n\nCOST:  \nCIP Members:  \n$100 early registration 10 days prior to seminar; $120 after \nNon-Members:  \n$130 early registration up to 10 days prior to seminar\, $150 after \nCEs: 6 CEs for LMFTs\, \nLCSWs\, and Psychologists. \nCommunity Institute for Psychotherapy is approved by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education for psychologists.

SUMMARY:Healing at the Edge: Conscious Living\, Conscious Dying [Two Day Workshop - February] – Presented by Dale Borglum\, PhD  [CO-SPONSORED]
DESCRIPTION:Why do some people experience wholeness as they approach death\, while others lose themselves in denial\, depression\, distraction? Why is it that some of the most alive and awake Westerners I’ve known have been\, almost without exception\, people near death? Is there some powerful truth about life and about healing that you and I can receive from these few who\, as they went through the process of dying\, deeply realized their own wholeness? \nBringing emotional/spiritual support to someone with a life-threatening illness is a twofold task. First\, help the client realize they are more than that which will die – the finite self – the body and personality. At the same time\, honor this finite self\, healing its woundedness\, its identification with separateness. Rumi said\, “Grief is the garden of compassion.” This transmuting separateness of grief into the connectedness of compassion is the heart of the work. Confusion\, anxiety\, depression\, anger are typical responses arising as the end of a life approaches\, both for patients and their families. \nThis presentation will explore possibilities for realizing wholeness at the edge of life where illness\, grief\, and loss arise. Both psychological and spiritual tools will be used in the investigation of these profound and challenging issues. We will offer participants the opportunity to explore the deeper questions surrounding death\, healing\, and the sacred so that each of us can better embody an enlivened sense of being in the world in each moment rather than a sense of isolation and denial. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDale Borglum\, PhD\, founded and directed the Hanuman Foundation Dying Center in Santa Fe\, New Mexico\, the first residential facility in the United States to support conscious dying. He has been the Executive Director of the Living/Dying Project in Santa Fe and\, since 1986\, in the San Francisco Bay Area. He is the co-author with Ram Dass\, Daniel Goleman and Dwarka Bonner of Journey of Awakening: A Meditator’s Guidebook. Dale gives workshops on the topics of meditation\, healing\, and spiritual support for those with life-threatening illness\, and on caregiving as spiritual practice. He has a doctorate degree from Stanford University. \n\n\n\n\nOption 1: Two Day Workshop \nJanuary 29 and 30\, 2022 | 9:00 am – 6:00 pm \nLocation:   \nZoom \nCost: \n$290 registration \nCEs: 15 CEs for LMFTs\, LCSWs\, and Psychologists. Certificates issued after completion of both sessions. \nOption 2: Two Day Workshop \nFebruary 26 and 27\, 2022 | 9:00 am – 6:00 pm \nLocation:   \nZoom \nCost:  \n$290 registration \nCEs: 15 CEs for LMFTs\, LCSWs\, and Psychologists.

SUMMARY:Healing at the Edge: Conscious Living\, Conscious Dying [One Day Workshop] – Presented by Dale Borglum\, PhD  [CO-SPONSORED]
DESCRIPTION:Why do some people experience wholeness as they approach death\, while others lose themselves in denial\, depression\, distraction? Why is it that some of the most alive and awake Westerners I’ve known have been\, almost without exception\, people near death? Is there some powerful truth about life and about healing that you and I can receive from these few who\, as they went through the process of dying\, deeply realized their own wholeness? \nBringing emotional/spiritual support to someone with a life-threatening illness is a twofold task. First\, help the client realize they are more than that which will die – the finite self – the body and personality. At the same time\, honor this finite self\, healing its woundedness\, its identification with separateness. Rumi said\, “Grief is the garden of compassion.” This transmuting separateness of grief into the connectedness of compassion is the heart of the work. Confusion\, anxiety\, depression\, anger are typical responses arising as the end of a life approaches\, both for patients and their families. \nThis presentation will explore possibilities for realizing wholeness at the edge of life where illness\, grief\, and loss arise. Both psychological and spiritual tools will be used in the investigation of these profound and challenging issues. We will offer participants the opportunity to explore the deeper questions surrounding death\, healing\, and the sacred so that each of us can better embody an enlivened sense of being in the world in each moment rather than a sense of isolation and denial. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDale Borglum\, PhD\, founded and directed the Hanuman Foundation Dying Center in Santa Fe\, New Mexico\, the first residential facility in the United States to support conscious dying. He has been the Executive Director of the Living/Dying Project in Santa Fe and\, since 1986\, in the San Francisco Bay Area. He is the co-author with Ram Dass\, Daniel Goleman and Dwarka Bonner of Journey of Awakening: A Meditator’s Guidebook. Dale gives workshops on the topics of meditation\, healing\, and spiritual support for those with life-threatening illness\, and on caregiving as spiritual practice. He has a doctorate degree from Stanford University. \n  \n\n\n\n\nOption 1: Two Day Workshop \nJanuary 29 and 30\, 2022 | 9:00 am – 6:00 pm \nLocation:   \nZoom \nCost: \n$290 registration \nCEs: 15 CEs for LMFTs\, LCSWs\, and Psychologists. Certificates issued after completion of both sessions. \nOption 2: Two Day Workshop \nFebruary 26 and 27\, 2022 | 9:00 am – 6:00 pm \nLocation:   \nZoom \nCost:  \n$290 registration \nCEs: 15 CEs for LMFTs\, LCSWs\, and Psychologists.

SUMMARY:The Value of Introversion: The Clinical Application of One of Jung’s Least Understood Concepts  – Presented by John Beebe\, PhD [SEMINAR]
DESCRIPTION:The nature of introversion and its relation to extraversion has often been misunderstood since C. G. Jung made these contrasting attitudes central to his theory of psychological types one hundred years ago. In this seminar we will explore how introverted and extraverted types of consciousness serve as checks and balances on each other\, as both are necessary to healthy adaptation. \nWe will identify four types of introverted consciousness that each of us has some degree of access to and explore the difference between introversion and social phobia.  We will talk about how to support clients in whom introverted consciousness predominates and also how to help more extraverted clients engage with introverted consciousness\, which helps such clients reflect on and integrate their extraverted experience. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \nUpon completing this seminar\, participants should be able to: \n\nExplain how introverted and extraverted forms of awareness complement and serve as checks and balances on each other.\nList the eight types of consciousness that Jung distinguished in Psychological Types. \nDescribe the qualitative difference between seeking to merge with an object and seeking to compare and match that object to a pre-existing archetype.\nIdentify two forms of introverted consciousness that Jung labeled “irrational” and explain why the label “irrational” in this context is not pejorative.\nDiscuss the difference between healthy introversion and social phobia.\nList a key word that can be used to mirror what one of the four introverted types of consciousness focuses on doing.\n\n  \nJohn Beebe\, PhD\, is the creator of the eight-function\, eight-archetype model of psychological types. A Jungian analyst and past president of the C. G. Jung Institute of San Francisco\, he is the author of Energies and Patterns in Psychological Type: The Reservoir of Consciousness and co-editor\, with Ernst Falzeder\, of The Question of Psychological Types: The Correspondence of C. G. Jung and Hans Schmid-Guisan. John has spearheaded a Jungian typological approach to the analysis of film and has written the preface to the recent Routledge Classics edition of Jung’s 1921 book\, Psychological Types. \n  \n\nCOST:  \nCIP Members:  \n$100 early registration 10 days prior to seminar; $120 after \nNon-Members:  \n$130 early registration up to 10 days prior to seminar\, $150 after \nCEs: 6 CEs for LMFTs\, \nLCSWs\, and Psychologists. \nCommunity Institute for Psychotherapy is approved by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education for psychologists.

SUMMARY:Moving from Chaos to Clarity: Core-Focused Family Therapy  – Presented by Judye Hess\, PhD [SEMINAR]
DESCRIPTION:A major strength of Core-Focused Family Therapy (CFFT) is that it addresses all three dimensions of our experience: individual\, interpersonal and systemic. One of the major critiques of family therapy in general is that\, while it focuses on the interpersonal dynamics\, it lacks the depth of individual therapy. CFFT attempts to correct this problem by encouraging clients to experience their core truths in several ways\, including\, the somatic level. This assists in communication among the family members. When the family can express their deepest truths to one another\, profound changes can occur that lead to greater differentiation authenticity and closeness. The role of the therapist is to help families uncover and communicate these truths by teaching better communication\, which\, in turn\, helps them to take greater responsibility for their role in conflict and alliances.  When dyads or triads change\, this leads to a systemic change in the family. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \nUpon completion of this workshop\, participants should be able to: \n\nSummarize the clinical techniques and skills used in Core-Focused Family Therapy.\nExplain the concept of the “identified patient” (IP) and how it both serves and debilitates the family.\nRecognize\, elicit and deepen client emotions to further change by utilizing skills of:\ndeep empathy for each member\,\nguiding family members to move from defensiveness to open-hearted communication\nmaintaining a position of neutrality\nExplain “surface area of problem”\,\nDemonstrate Checking In at the start\, Checking Out when done.\nSelect and assess families in terms of readiness for Core-Focused Family Therapy.\nIdentify how the IP may be “holding” a certain emotion for the family.\nExplain how family therapy helps the family to see the broader context of a particular member’s difficulties\, by increasing the “surface area” of the problem.\nRecognize when the family dynamic shifts from a one-person interaction with the therapist\, to a dyadic encounter between two family members\, e.g. direct interaction\nExplain the 11 common mistakes therapists make when working with families.\nIdentify and utilize the five techniques of working with a family from start (initial phone call) to finish (termination).\n\n  \nJudye Hess graduated from the University of Rhode Island with a PhD in clinical psychology in 1975 and have been licensed in the state of California since 1978\, and has a private therapy practice in Berkeley since 1980 where she sees couples\, families and facilitates groups. \nShe has been teaching experiential classes in Family Dynamics\, Couple counseling and Group Dynamics at the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco over the last 27 years\, where she is a Professor and Core Faculty member. She has also taught these courses at John F. Kennedy University\, the Institute for Transpersonal Psychology\, and California State East Bay University. \nJudye is an active member of the Northern California Group Psychotherapy Society (NCGPS) and the American Group Psychotherapy Association (AGPA) where she has facilitated groups (Interpersonal Gestalt\, Interpersonal Growth\, and Group Process in the NOW) at both local and national conferences and Institute. She is active in the Association for Family Therapy of Northern California (AFTNC)\, the American Family Therapy Association (AFTA)\, and the International Family Therapy Association (IFTA).  \nShe has written many articles and has presented at national and international conferences in the Netherlands\, Turkey and Vancouver\, Canada\, on her method of family therapy as presented in her book Core-Focused Family Therapy: Moving From Chaos to Clarity\, which she wrote with Ross Cohen\, LPC. (Idyll Arbor\, 2008) \n  \n\nCOST:  \nCIP Members: \n$75 early registration 10 days prior to seminar; $90 after \nNon-Members: \n$100 early registration up to 10 days prior to seminar\, $115 after \nCEs: 4 CEs for LMFTs\, \nLCSWs\, and Psychologists. \nCommunity Institute for Psychotherapy is approved by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education for psychologists.

SUMMARY:Hooked on a Feeling: Using Attachment Theory and Object Relations to Inform Work with Substance Misusing Patients  – Presented by Benjamin Fife\, PsyD [SEMINAR]
DESCRIPTION:The COVID-19 pandemic has confronted psychoanalytic psychotherapists with the need to respond to an increase in substance use and misuse in our patients and their family members.  According to multiple studies\, since March 2020 substance use has increased by as much as twenty percent for people with existing substance use disorders (NIDA. 2020)\, and it is widely understood that social isolation and stress related to illness and medical trauma can increase susceptibility to substance misuse\, addiction\, relapse and overdose.  Psychoanalytic and psychodynamic clinicians\, including Gabor Mate\, Alistair Sweet\, and Mary Brady have made important contributions to understanding the complex relationships between attachment patterns\, internal object relationships and patterns of substance use and misuse. \nThis presentation will review the relevant contemporary thinking connecting attachment patterns\, internal object relations\, and substance use and abuse patterns and will offer participants the opportunity to think through clinical dilemmas surrounding substance use that come up in both private practice and community mental health outpatient settings. Participants will be aided in thinking through the meanings that substance use can take on for patients within family relationships and as a relationship in itself.  Participants will also learn ways of addressing risk and safety issues that come up when the substance user and abuser enters treatment. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES:   \nParticipants in this program will be able to: \n\nIdentify (number of) clinical\, legal and ethical issues related to addressing substance use and misuse in the context of outpatient psychotherapy.\nList three ways in which attachment and trauma research can be relevant in the outpatient psychotherapeutic treatment of people who use substances.\nIncrease their repertoire of available psychotherapeutic interventions when working with patients who use substances.\nIdentify four harm reduction strategies they can introduce in psychotherapeutic work with substance using patients who do not have sobriety as a goal.\nIdentify three fears and biases they bring to work with substance using and abusing clients.\n\nBenjamin Fife\, PsyD is a clinical psychologist working in San Francisco where he sees children\, adults\, couples and families in his private practice.  Dr\, Fife has worked as a clinical supervisor at the UCSF Infant-Parent Program and has provided training and supervision to groups and individuals in a number of hospital and non-profit training settings in the Bay Area. Dr. Fife has a strong interest in infant and child development within family and social contexts. \n\nCOST:  \nCIP Members:  \n$75 early registration 10 days prior to seminar; $90 after \nNon-Members:  \n$100 early registration up to 10 days prior to seminar\, $115 after \nCEs: 4 CEs for LMFTs\, \nLCSWs\, and Psychologists. \nCommunity Institute for Psychotherapy is approved by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education for psychologists.

SUMMARY:Essentials of Suicide Risk Assessment & Intervention  – Presented by Joe Obegi\, PhD [SEMINAR]
DESCRIPTION:This 6-hour course covers the essential aspects of suicide risk assessment and intervention. Part 1 teaches participants how to complete a high-quality suicide risk assessment\, an essential first step in protecting the suicidal patient. Participants will learn a structured approach to (a) inquiring about suicidal thinking and behavior and (b) integrating this information with warning signs and risk factors for suicide. Guidelines for estimating suicide risk will be reviewed as well as how to create a treatment plan that reduces risk. \nIn Part 2\, participants will learn about treatment options that can safely and effectively reduce suicide risk. Two interventions—safety planning and means safety—address the near-term safety of patients\, while outpatient treatments that prioritize suicidality can mitigate factors that drive suicide risk. Participants will be introduced to these interventions and their research basis. Finally\, participants will learn the legal complexities involved in treating suicidal patients. \nThis updated course has the latest national statistics on suicide\, new research findings on suicidal ideation and the relationship between inequality and suicide. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES:   \nUpon completion of this workshop\, participants should be able to: \n\nDescribe the populations most vulnerable to suicide\nDefine three theories of suicide\nDescribe the phenomenology of suicidality\nApply a structured approach to evaluating suicide risk\nApply interventions to counsel patients and their families about the benefits of reducing access to lethal means\nCo-create a safety plan with suicidal patients\nList the four components of professional negligence\n\n  \nDr. Obegi completed his education at the California School of Professional Psychology and his postdoctoral training in the Department of Psychiatry\, UC San Diego. He is a Senior Psychologist with the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation where he coordinates suicide prevention efforts in a large psychiatric hospital at the California Medical Facility. In the community\, he provides training and consultation in topics related to suicide and has part-time practice working with adults. He writes about suicide risk assessment\, the standard of care\, and suicidality as a diagnostic candidate. He is the co-editor of Attachment Theory and Research in Clinical Work with Adults. \n  \n\nCOST:  \nCIP Members:  \n$100 early registration 10 days prior to seminar; $120 after \nNon-Members:  \n$130 early registration up to 10 days prior to seminar\, $150 after \nCEs: 6 CEs for LMFTs\, \nLCSWs\, and Psychologists. \nCommunity Institute for Psychotherapy is approved by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education for psychologists.

SUMMARY:Finding Hope in Hard Times: Working Intersubjectively in Times of Crisis – Presented by Jane Rubin\, PhD\, PhD\, PsyD [SEMINAR] Third Friday of the Month Oct 2021 thru May 2022
DESCRIPTION:The events of the past year—the global pandemic\, the continuing battles against racism and white supremacy\, the California wildfires—have left many people feeling increasingly hopeless about their lives.  Many of these people are our patients.  How do we help them to regain a sense of possibility in these difficult times?  This issue is complicated by the fact that many of the things that are contributing to our patients’ sense of hopelessness are contributing to ours\, as well.  How can we help our patients if we share their sense of hopelessness? Or\, alternatively\, how can we help them if we don’t—if our patients feel that we don’t share their sense of hopelessness and therefore can’t understand them? \nIntersubjectivity theory is uniquely positioned to help us understand how the interaction of a patient’s subjectivity with our own can either help or hinder our patients’ ability to develop and sustain a sense of hope and possibility.  This seminar will combine case presentations with the study of relevant articles to strengthen participants’ confidence in their ability to help their patients find hope in a time of crisis. \nLearning Objectives: \nUpon completion of this workshop\, participants should be able to: \n\nDefine intersubjective conjunctions and identify them in their work.\nDefine intersubjective disjunctions and identify them in their work.\nExplain the process of working productively with intersubjective conjunctions.\nExplain the process or working productively with intersubjective disjunctions.\nExplain how the selfobject dimension of the transference contributes to emotional regulation in times of crisis.\nExplain how to work with the repetitive dimension of the transference to help patients cope more successfully in times of crisis.\nIdentify sequences of disruption and repair in clinical case material.\nDemonstrate ways of successfully repairing disruptions of the selfobject transference.\n\n  \nJane Rubin received her PhD in Philosophy from UC Berkeley\, her PhD in Clinical Psychology from the Wright Institute\, and her PsyD in Contemporary Psychoanalysis at the Institute of Contemporary Psychoanalysis in Los Angeles. She is in private practice in Berkeley. \n  \n\nCOST:  \nCIP Members:  \n$260 early registration 10 days prior to seminar; $280 after  \nNon-Members: \n$340 early registration up to 10 days prior to seminar\, $360 after \nCEs: 16 CEs for LMFTs\, LCSWs\, and Psychologists. \nCommunity Institute for Psychotherapy is approved by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education for psychologists.

SUMMARY:Jungian Work and the Apocalypse: Working with Boys and Men to Address Alienation – Robert Tyminski\, PhD [SEMINAR]
DESCRIPTION:Narrative: \nMany patients now state that they spend hours each day paying attention to screens rather than to real people around them. We’ll explore how cyberspace becomes an alternate container for many clients in distress. We will examine what this means for the psyche in terms of relationships and fantasies\, especially apocalyptic fantasies of destruction. \nThis seminar would address clinical work with boys\, male adolescents\, and young men\, and include some anecdotal information regarding the same for girls and women. It would look at motivational aspects of what brings them into therapy\, for example\, how willing are they to engage with us. \nWe would examine the role of alienation\, in particular\, how it can shut down access to the inner world. Part of this difficulty leads to clinical encounters when boys and men feel unable to describe what happens inside them. The function of language will be considered in these discussions\, because often there can be reports of not finding or having adequate feeling words to describe internal states. Ideas about containment will foreground the theoretical positioning of these discussions. \nDr. Tyminski will use a combination of case material and readings\, a resource would be his 2018 book “Male Alienation at the Crossroads of Identity\, Culture & Cyberspace.” Dr. Tyminski and CIP  are requesting and  encouraging participants to present their case material as well. \nRobert Tyminski is an adult and child analyst member of the C. G. Jung Institute of San Francisco and a past President; he teaches in the Institute’s analytic training program. He is a Clinical Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of California at San Francisco. His new book is Male Alienation at the Crossroads of Identity\, Culture and Cyberspace. His previous book The Psychology of Theft and Loss: Stolen and Fleeced was published in 2014 by Routledge. He is a 2016 winner of the Michael Fordham Prize from the Journal of Analytical Psychology. \n  \n\nCOST:  \nCIP Member:   \n$100 early registration\, up to 10 days prior to seminar\, $120 after \nNon-Members:\n \nNon-member Rate: $130 early registration\, up to 10 days prior to seminar\, $150 after \nCEs: \n6 CEs for LMFTs\, LCSWs\, and Psychologists \nCommunity Institute for Psychotherapy is approved by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education for psychologists.

SUMMARY:White Privilege and Racism: How to Address It in the Therapy Room – Lane Arye\, PhD & Annie Chen\, LMFT [CLASS]
DESCRIPTION:The legacy of colonialism and white supremacy manifests in the therapeutic relationship as unconscious bias\, microaggressions\, white fragility\, and internalized oppression within our work with clients. These dynamics can show up in the therapeutic relationship whether we are aware of them or not. They can lead to disconnection\, conflict\, and empathic failure\, and can prolong the pain our clients feel as a result of racial oppression. They can also contribute to racism and exclusion within our profession. In this training we will: \nThe presenters will reflect on how we each came to understand our race or racialized identities within the context of US society and culture. Recognize how patterns of colonialism and whiteness permeate our lives and profession. Examine how the legacy of white supremacy centers whiteness and assigns more value to the experiences of White People and less value to those of Black\, Indigenous\, and People of Color (BIPOC). Explore the attitudes and patterns of white supremacy and how this may show up in the therapy room between therapists of different racialized identities and clients of different racialized identities. Unpack how white fragility and internalized anti-black\, anti-indigenous\, anti-Asian\, and anti-Latinx sentiments can stop conversations and inhibit curiosity and awareness about our racial impact. Articulate the potential social impact and ethical consequences of remaining unconscious about race in the therapy room. Begin to develop resilience so we can sit in the fire of conversations about race without retreating into defensiveness or fragility. Brainstorm ways to support anti-racism in our profession and institutions. \nThey will also discuss and brainstorm about cases and scenarios in which white privilege and racism (whether it is our own or our clients’) arise in the therapy room. \nLane Arye\, Ph.D. is a senior trainer of Processwork (developed by Arnold Mindell) and a founding faculty member of the Process Work Institute in Portland. He works with individuals and couples\, and also facilitates organizations and communities locally and around the world. He co-led a six-year UN funded project in the Balkans that brought together Serbs\, Croats\, and Muslims after the war to work on ethnic tension and post-war trauma. He’s been deeply researching whiteness\, and leading groups for white folks about race\, resilience and repair. He lives with his wife and two teens\, who grow his heart every day. \nAnnie Chen\, LMFT \n \nis a 1.5 generation Chinese immigrant who is settled on Chochenyo Ohlone (East Bay) lands. She is a marriage and familytherapist who has been helping people have better relationships for over ten years. She authored a book on attachment theory and uses tools that are informed by neuroscience\, trauma\, and somatic psychology. \n\nCOST:  \nCIP Member:   \n$75 early registration\, up to 10 days prior to seminar\, $90 after \nNon-Members:\n \nNon-member Rate: $100 early registration\, up to 10 days prior to seminar\, $110 after \nCEs: \n4 CEs for LMFTs\, LCSWs\, and Psychologists \nCommunity Institute for Psychotherapy is approved by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education for psychologists.

SUMMARY:Creating Triangular Space and Promoting Symbolic Thinking in Psychdynamic Therapy – Helen Schoenhals Hart\, PsyD [CLASS]
DESCRIPTION:Narrative: \n  \nIn this workshop we will be examining how we can help our clients to feel understood\, while simultaneously promoting their ability to think symbolically – a necessary prerequisite for being able to handle the emotional dilemmas they present.  We will first learn about Ronald Britton’s concept of triangular space and what this looks like in the clinical setting. \nHelen Schoenhals Hart will then show us how she applies this concept in order to develop what she calls the analytic triangle in the clinical setting.  Clinical examples will be presented that show what it looks like when this analytic triangle is not established.  We will then turn to Hanna Segal’s triangular conception of symbol formation and the difference between a symbol and what she calls a symbolic equation.  Examples of what a symbolic equation looks like in the clinical situation will be presented and discussed.  Finally\, we will study how the analytic triangle\, the Depressive Position\, the Oedipal triangle and the triangular conception of symbolic thinking all hang together.  Clinical examples and vignettes from the participants will be encouraged for our discussion. \nDr. Helen Schoenhals Hart\, originally from Michigan\, studied medicine and trained to be a psychoanalyst in Frankfurt\, Germany.  She worked for many years as a training analyst of the German Psychoanalytic Assoc. (DPV) and worked intensively with the London Kleinians.  Since moving to California in 2008 she has a psychoanalytic practice in San Rafael and is a training and supervising analyst at SFCP. \n\nCOST:  \nCIP Member:   \n$75 early registration\, up to 10 days prior to seminar\, $90 after \nNon-Members:\n \nNon-member Rate: $100 early registration\, up to 10 days prior to seminar\, $110 after \nCEs: \n4 CEs for LMFTs\, LCSWs\, and Psychologists \nCommunity Institute for Psychotherapy is approved by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education for psychologists.

SUMMARY:Surprise and Delight: How Family Play Therapy Can Create Positive Family Engagement– by Eliana Gil\, PhD [SEMINAR]
DESCRIPTION:Narrative: \nThis workshop will highlight the various ways that play therapy can decrease the family’s ambivalence about participating in therapy\, as well as the ways that play therapy can engage families in positive and energetic interactions that can shift perspectives and increase connection so that family members can see each other as resources. \nFamily play therapy is a useful approach when working with families who come to therapy due to overt conflicts and problems\, or parental concern regarding children’s behaviors. Typically\, families can have disruptions in communication\, affection\, and safety. Children’s behaviors may be externalizing or internalizing and can draw family interest in how to help. In addition\, many families can be court-mandated or referred by outside agencies because of a disruptive or concerning parental or child behavior. There are ample family dynamics that can cause family members to feel distrustful\, isolated\, frustrated\, frightened\, or concerned. Play therapy can surprise and delight family members and provide a less challenging way to approach problems. The outcomes include improved communication\, confidence in identifying and responding to children’s problem behaviors\, and the development of safety and secure attachments. \nDr. Eliana Gil is a Founding Partner of Gil Institute for Trauma Recovery & Education\, LLC\, a group private practice in Fairfax\, Va\, where she currently works as a Senior Clinical and Research Consultant.  She is an Approved MFT Supervisor as well as a Registered Play Therapist/Supervisor and a Registered Art Therapist.  She is also a Circle of Security Certified Parent Educator\, a Level II Theraplay provider\, and participated and completed a two-year Individual Certification process with Dr. Bruce Perry.  Dr. Gil provides specialized\, small group trainings that highlight experiential learning at Starbright Training Institute for Child and Family Play Therapy in Fairfax\, VA. \n  \n\nCOST:  \nCIP Member:   \n$100 early registration\, up to 10 days prior to seminar\, $120 after \nNon-Members:\n \nNon-member Rate: $130 early registration\, up to 10 days prior to seminar\, $150 after \nCEs: \n6 CEs for LMFTs\, LCSWs\, and Psychologists \nCommunity Institute for Psychotherapy is approved by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education for psychologists.

SUMMARY:Healing at the Edge: Conscious Living\, Conscious Dying [Two Day Workshop - February] – Presented by Dale Borglum\, PhD  [CO-SPONSORED]
DESCRIPTION:Why do some people experience wholeness as they approach death\, while others lose themselves in denial\, depression\, distraction? Why is it that some of the most alive and awake Westerners I’ve known have been\, almost without exception\, people near death? Is there some powerful truth about life and about healing that you and I can receive from these few who\, as they went through the process of dying\, deeply realized their own wholeness? \nBringing emotional/spiritual support to someone with a life-threatening illness is a twofold task. First\, help the client realize they are more than that which will die – the finite self – the body and personality. At the same time\, honor this finite self\, healing its woundedness\, its identification with separateness. Rumi said\, “Grief is the garden of compassion.” This transmuting separateness of grief into the connectedness of compassion is the heart of the work. Confusion\, anxiety\, depression\, anger are typical responses arising as the end of a life approaches\, both for patients and their families. \nThis presentation will explore possibilities for realizing wholeness at the edge of life where illness\, grief\, and loss arise. Both psychological and spiritual tools will be used in the investigation of these profound and challenging issues. We will offer participants the opportunity to explore the deeper questions surrounding death\, healing\, and the sacred so that each of us can better embody an enlivened sense of being in the world in each moment rather than a sense of isolation and denial. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDale Borglum\, PhD\, founded and directed the Hanuman Foundation Dying Center in Santa Fe\, New Mexico\, the first residential facility in the United States to support conscious dying. He has been the Executive Director of the Living/Dying Project in Santa Fe and\, since 1986\, in the San Francisco Bay Area. He is the co-author with Ram Dass\, Daniel Goleman and Dwarka Bonner of Journey of Awakening: A Meditator’s Guidebook. Dale gives workshops on the topics of meditation\, healing\, and spiritual support for those with life-threatening illness\, and on caregiving as spiritual practice. He has a doctorate degree from Stanford University. \n\n\n\n\nOption 1: Two Day Workshop \nJanuary 30 and 31\, 2021 | 9:00 am – 5:30 pm \nLocation:   \nZoom \nCost: \n$290 early registration\, $310 on day of event \nCEs: 16 CEs for LMFTs\, LCSWs\, and Psychologists. Certificates issued after completion of both sessions. \nOption 2: Two Day Workshop \nFebruary 27 and 28\, 2021 | 9:00 am – 5:30 pm \nLocation:   \nZoom      \nCost:  \n$290 early registration\, $310 on day of event \nCEs: 16 CEs for LMFTs\, LCSWs\, and Psychologists.
