SUMMARY:Clinical Case Discussion Workshop with Dr. Jonathan Shedler
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Treating Challenging Patients\nFrom Case Formulation to Shared Treatment Focus[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]PROGRAM DESCRIPTION (6 CEs) \nThis clinical workshop will help therapists navigate the treatment challenges and impasses that inevitably arise in psychotherapy. It focuses on two linked\, core skills: 1) developing a sound clinical case formulation and 2) developing a shared treatment purpose with clients. When therapy stalls or loses direction\, the difficulty almost always traces back to one or both. \nThe day will center on hands-on demonstration of therapy concepts and methods through live case discussion and consultation\, with ample use of role play to illustrate practical clinical application. Volunteer workshop participants will have an opportunity to present current cases for consultation. Case discussion and role plays will be interwoven with didactic teaching and group discussion\, with an emphasis on translating clinical concepts into real-world practice. \nKey topics will include distinguishing the consultation phase from ongoing psychotherapy\, establishing the therapy frame\, treatment contracting\, developing a working alliance\, developing a shared treatment purpose\, and using transference and counter-transference to work through impasses and deepen the treatment.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”12379″ img_size=”300×420″ css=””][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text css=””]Jonathan Shedler\, PhD is known internationally as an author\, consultant\, and master teacher.

It builds upon graduate-level concepts and elaborates them into applied clinical methodologies directly relevant to psychodynamically informed psychotherapy. \n2) This 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. \n3) The content of this presentation represents an 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). \n4) The 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 (for example\, 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 psychological processes which may be recognized as important parts of the selves of the participants. \n5) Cultural\, individual\, and role differences will be intentionally addressed in the context of case discussions\, with particular attention to how identity-based dynamics\, societal structures\, and systemic inequities influence psychotherapy processes. Case material will be explored with sensitivity to intersecting identities\, and participants will be encouraged to reflect on their own cultural positioning and its impact on therapeutic relationships and interventions.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”CEs” tab_id=”1772753148054-f0dc7084-202c”][vc_column_text css=””]CEs: 6 CEs for LMFTs\, LCSWs\, LPCCs and 6 CEs for Psychologists \nThe Community Institute for Psychotherapy is approved by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education for psychologists.  The Community Institute for Psychotherapy maintains responsibility for these programs and their contents.  \nAccommodations will be made wherever possible for those with disabilities.

SUMMARY:The Social Origins of Wilfred Bion’s Theories and Praxis - Presented by Karim G Dajani\, PsyD [Seminar]
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”11636″ img_size=”medium” image_hovers=”false”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]NARRATIVE \nThis workshop will present original work on the social unconscious and its application to Wilfred Bion’s theories and praxis.  The conception of a social unconscious was introduced at the very inception of our field (1924) by the first formally trained American Psychoanalyst – Trigant Burrow. It was intensely resisted and eventually erased from our working memory and curricula. It is an essential feature of the human unconscious.  Consideration of the social unconscious opens up pathways to working with deep mental structures that are organized around our experiences in groups and along shared social ideas we internalize and reproduce in our thinking\, perception and comportment.   \nThe day will begin with a presentation on the origins and functions of the social unconscious in psychoanalytic theory followed by a Question and Answer period. The exercise will give us shared conceptions and language that emerge from analytic scholarship on the social unconscious. Once we have our terms defined and the main ideas shared\, we will apply them to  Wilfred Bion’ original theories. Bion’s theories related to alpha function\, reverie\, container contained\, attacks on linking and transformation in K and O are enormously useful in our clinical work. They are discontinuous from the rest of psychoanalysis\, wildly creative\, intensely useful\, and capacious in every way.  \nOn the surface the social unconscious and Bion’ theories appear to be unrelated. However\, a deeper look will make it evident that they are intertwined. Bion was born in Mathura India where he lived for the first 9 years of his life. He was largely raised by an Indian Ayah (nanny) to whom he was very closely attached. From the vertices’ of a social unconscious Bion acquired an Indian cultural system from his Ayah and his social surroundings. Dr. Dajani will demonstrate the intimate connection between Bion’ theories and an Eastern Theistic Cultural system.  \nCombining insights from the social unconscious with Bion’s clinical theories will help you develop tools for widening and deepening your contact with your patients\, particularly those who are from different cultures and social positions. \n  \nCOURSE OUTLINE—6 hours \n8:30 – 9:00 am                      \nRegistration \n9:00 – 9:15 am   \n\n\n\n\n\nIntroduction of Presenter\n\n\n\n\n\n9:15 – 10:15 am   \n\n\n\n\n\nThe origins and functions of the social unconscious.  Elucidating the role the illusion of absolutism plays in shaping our perspective.\n\n\n\n\n\n10:15 – 10:30 am   \n\n\n\n\n\nBreak\n\n\n\n\n\n10:30 – 11:30 am   \n\n\n\n\n\nThe Social Unconscious in W.

It offers theoretical elaboration and practical tools for assessment\, case formulation\, and clinical intervention rooted in both classical and contemporary psychoanalytic theory. \n3) This course is designed for licensed mental health professionals (psychologists\, MFTs\, LCSWs\, etc.) with foundational training in psychodynamic psychotherapy. The instructional level is intermediate\, assuming prior exposure to psychoanalytic principles and therapeutic technique. \n4) The content of this presentation is comprehensively based in the established literature of contemporary psychoanalytically informed psychotherapy\, especially as it relates to working with people across the spectrum of cultural and social difference.  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 (for example\, 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 aspects and functions of the social unconscious as it relates to perception and thinking. \n5) This presentation will include a discussion of the cultural\, racial\, social manifestation of the social unconscious\, and the way culture acts as a lens for self and other perception.  For example\, the discussion will include a detailed analysis of the ways cultural propositions are reproduced in our theories and our thinking. This will give participants additional tools to work with cultural and social determinants that are part and parcel of every treatment\, not just the ones that are between people from different cultures.  \n\nBio: \nKarim G. Dajani\, PsyD\, is a clinical psychologist and a training and supervising psychoanalyst. He specializes in working with issues related to cultural dislocation and displacement. His research and writing include publications on the links between cultural systems and the unconscious of individuals and groups. He sits on the editorial board of the International Journal of Applied Psychoanalytic Studies. His recent works include a special issue dedicated to the social unconscious\, and a chapter on race and ethnicity in contemporary psychoanalytic theories and praxis that appears in the latest edition of the textbook on Psychoanalysis.   \n\nCOST:  \nCIP Members: \n$150 early registration 10 business days prior to seminar; $180 after \nNon-Members:  \n$180 early registration up to 10 business days prior to seminar\, $210 after \nCEs: 6 CEs for LMFTs\, LCSWs\, LPCCs and 6 CEs for Psychologists \n  \nThe Community Institute for Psychotherapy is approved by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education for psychologists.  The Community Institute for Psychotherapy maintains responsibility for these programs and their contents.  \n  \nAccommodations will be made wherever possible for those with disabilities.

SUMMARY:Here/Not Here: The Function of Dissociation in Everyday Life and the Clinical Encounter - Presented by Peter Goldberg\, PhD [Seminar]
DESCRIPTION:NARRATIVE \nThis workshop explores dissociation as a universal and often adaptive feature of mental life—one that is functionally and phenomenologically distinct from both repression and splitting. Rather than viewing dissociation solely as pathological\, we will consider its role in facilitating transitions between self-states in both daily life and clinical settings. Particular attention will be paid to psychosomatic dissociation\, defined here as dynamic shifts in the mind’s relation to bodily states and perceptual experience. \nWe will examine the contrast between transient dissociative states—which enable novel\, flexible\, or even creative experiences—and the more entrenched “alter worlds” seen in clinical disorders. These latter states are typically characterized by a rigid\, timeless\, and isolative quality\, often leaving individuals cut off from embodied self-experience. \nThe therapeutic stance in work with dissociation will be considered in depth\, including the importance of the therapist’s attunement to somatic cues\, sensory experience\, and the therapeutic frame itself. Using clinical vignettes and detailed case material\, participants will learn to recognize and respond to both normative and pathological dissociation in the therapy room. \n  \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES \nAt the conclusion of this program\, participants will be able to: \n\nDistinguish dissociation from related defense mechanisms such as repression and splitting.\nDescribe the features of everyday dissociative shifts and contrast them with pathological “alter world” states.\nIdentify the role of psychosomatic dissociation in self-state transitions.\nArticulate the therapist’s role—including sensory and attentional engagement—in treating dissociative states.\nExplain how the clinical frame can support re-integration in clients experiencing depersonalization and mind-body dislocation.\n\nCOURSE OUTLINE—6 hours \n8:30 – 9:00 am \nRegistration \n9:00 – 10:45 am   \n\nConceptual foundations: What is dissociation?\n\nDifferentiating dissociation from repression and splitting\nReview of key theoretical perspectives\n\n\n\n10:45—11:00 am \nBreak \n11:00 am—12:15 pm \n\nPsychosomatic dissociation and shifting self-states\n\nThe role of bodily awareness and consciousness\nNormative vs. pathological dissociative patterns\n\n\n\n12:15—1:15 pm                      \nLunch break \n1:15—2:30 pm \n\nClinical implications and therapist stance\n\nUse of the therapist’s attention\, body\, and sensory attunement\nThe role of the frame in containing dissociative material\n\n\n\n2:30—2:45 pm    \nBreak \n2:45—3:45pm    \n\nCase presentation and discussion\n\nApplication of course principles to real-world clinical work\nInteractive Q&A with participants\n\n\n\n3:45—4:00 pm    \nClosing discussion and wrap-up \n  \nCONTENT CURRICULUM \nDissociation is a complex psychological phenomenon that is underemphasized in most doctoral training. This course deepens clinicians’ understanding of dissociative processes\, especially their embodied dimensions\, through theory and applied clinical discussion. \nThis course directly informs clinical practice\, particularly in work with clients experiencing trauma\, identity fragmentation\, or somatic disconnection. It also enhances clinical sensitivity to dissociative dynamics in ordinary psychotherapy processes. \nThis training is intended for licensed psychologists\, mental health professionals\, and advanced graduate students. The instructional level is intermediate to advanced\, assuming some familiarity with psychodynamic concepts and trauma theory. \nThe course is grounded in current psychodynamic and trauma-informed literature\, including contributions from affective neuroscience and somatic psychology. As with all theoretical frameworks\, the concepts discussed may require adaptation to the specific needs and contexts of individual clients. There are limitations to generalizability\, and dissociation should be understood as a spectrum phenomenon rather than a unitary diagnosis. \nThroughout the training\, participants will be encouraged to consider how dissociative processes manifest across cultural and individual differences. The presenter will address how sociocultural context\, developmental trauma\, and systems of power and oppression shape embodied experience and self-states. \n\nBio: \nPeter Goldberg is a Personal and Supervising Analyst at the Psychoanalytic Institute of Northern California\, is Co-chair of Faculty at the San Francisco Center for Psychoanalysis\, and on the faculty of the Wright Institute in Berkeley. He is a co-author of Here I’m Alive: The Spirit of Music in Psychoanalysis (Columbia University Press\, 2023) and has written and presented widely on a range of clinical and theoretical topics including the evolution of clinical theory in psychoanalysis; psychosomatic dissociation\, sensory experience in analysis and cultural life; transitional mechanisms and the function of the analytic frame; non-representational states; and the impact of social trauma on individual psychology.  \n\nCOST:  \nCIP Members: \n$150 early registration 10 business days prior to seminar; $180 after \nNon-Members:  \n$180 early registration up to 10 business days prior to seminar\, $210 after \nCEs: 6 CEs for LMFTs\, LCSWs\, LPCCs and 6 CEs for Psychologists \n  \nThe Community Institute for Psychotherapy is approved by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education for psychologists.  The Community Institute for Psychotherapy maintains responsibility for these programs and their contents.  \n  \nAccommodations will be made wherever possible for those with disabilities.

SUMMARY:Patients with Paranoia:  Psychotic and Nonpsychotic Paranoid Psychologies and their Clinical Implications - Presented by Nancy McWilliams\, PhD\, ABPP and Michael Garrett\, MD [Seminar]
DESCRIPTION:NARRATIVE \nAlthough DSM criteria for diagnosing paranoia involve externally observable traits\, the speakers construe it as an intrapsychic process of disavowal and projection\, often related to trauma and inadequate psychological separation from caregivers. Although most visible in psychosis\, nonpsychotic paranoid states of mind are common. Dr. McWilliams will review scholarly literature and implications for treatment of nonpsychotic paranoia. Dr. Garrett will illuminate psychotic processes\, emphasizing psychotherapy that combines CBT and psychodynamic approaches. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES \nUpon completion of this workshop\, participants at this workshop should be able to:  \n\n Identify commonly understood persecutory paranoid dynamics (i.e.\, projection and denial of anger)\, as well as broader manifestations of paranoia involving projection and disavowal of other affects (e.g.\, erotomania\, paranoid jealousy\, megalomania\, paranoid hatred).    \n\n  \n\n Summarize the suspected developmental and relational etiologies associated with paranoid dynamics.\n\n  \n\n Relate paranoid thinking to inferred early modes of normal cognition.\n\n  \n\n Recognize therapeutic stances that have been known to threaten paranoid patients (e.g.\, excessive sympathy\, efforts to be neutral or abstinent to a degree that strikes the patient as inauthentic\, efforts to prove one’s goodness).\n\n  \n\n Describe therapist attitudes that can reduce shame and promote engagement with paranoid patients (e.g.\, unwavering respect\, ruthless honesty\, clarity about boundaries\, acknowledgement of the grain of truth in projections).\n\n  \n\n Develop skills in psychotherapeutic approaches to the treatment of patients with psychotic disorders\, based on research from both CBT and psychodynamic perspectives.\n\nCOURSE OUTLINE—6 hours \n8:30 – 9:00 am \nRegistration \n9:00 – 10:30 am                      \nDr. McWilliams will explore the concept of paranoia\, including the organizing subjective themes\, the different subtypes of paranoid reactions (persecutory paranoia\, paranoid hatred\, erotomania\, paranoid jealousy\, megalomania)\, and defenses that define these phenomena. \n10:30—10:40 am \nBreak \n10:40 am—12:00 noon  \nDr Garrett will discuss paranoia in patients with psychotic symptoms or tendencies\, explicating its origins in normal early patterns of thinking\, feeling\, and perception. He will relate paranoia to contemporary neuroscientific models of predictive processing and conceptualize psychotic paranoia as involving disguised recollections of relational trauma. \n12:00—1:00 pm                      \nLunch break \n1:00—2:30 pm \nDr. Garrett will describe the value of integrating cognitive-behavioral therapy for psychosis (CBTp) and psychodynamic treatment in helping patients with psychotic conditions. He posits that CBTp can help patients consider the possibility that their delusional beliefs are literally false\, while a psychodynamic approach can help them understand the figurative\, metaphorical truth of their symptoms as authentic expressions of their state of mind and past history. He will give a detailed presentation of the first 16 sessions in the successful therapy of a chronically psychotic woman\, unresponsive to medication\, who for 20 years believed she had a horrible smell\, and will show a video of her reflecting on her treatment. \n2:30—2:40 pm    \nBreak \n2:40—3:30pm    \nDr. McWilliams will introduce the concept of a psychotic level of personality organization\, with empirical support for this construct and implications for treatment of individuals at this level of organization. \n3:30—4:00pm    \nQuestions from and conversations with participants. Clinical examples. \n  \nCONTENT CURRICULUM \n\n\n\nThis workshop will expand the participants’ knowledge about paranoia and its relevance to outcome in psychotherapy\, adding to clinicians’ knowledge about how to increase the solidity of the therapeutic alliance given the challenges to that alliance that paranoia often poses.\nRelevant empirical literature on treating paranoia suggests that a strictly biological approach is insufficient to help patients who suffer from the condition. Making a therapeutic relationship can be helped by the application of empirically demonstrated CBT for psychosis techniques and a general psychodynamic understanding of the meaning of paranoid symptoms. This knowledge should be helpful to therapists.\nThe target audience is everyone who is working in the mental health field with patients who struggle with paranoia. Most therapists see some patients with paranoia over the course of their careers. Germane concepts will be explained simply enough that they will be accessible to participants who are beginners in the field\, as well as to those with advanced knowledge.\nWhile the material is grounded in established research and clinical experience\, discussion of trauma and paranoia may evoke emotional discomfort in some participants. There is also a risk that misapplication of psychodynamic or CBT interventions without adequate training may inadvertently heighten patient distress.\nPresenters will highlight how cultural and sociopolitical context influences the perception and diagnosis of paranoia. For instance\, clinicians will be encouraged to differentiate between culturally adaptive beliefs and pathology\, and to consider structural threats (e.g.\, immigration status\, systemic racism) as legitimate contributors to hypervigilance. Diverse case examples will be used to illustrate how to tailor psychotherapeutic interventions across racial\, cultural\, and socioeconomic differences.\n\n\n\n\nBio: \nNancy McWilliams\, PhD\, ABPP\, is Visiting Professor Emerita at Rutgers University’s Graduate School of Applied & Professional Psychology and practices in Lambertville\, New Jersey.

SUMMARY:Relating Remotely: Applying Therapeutic Interaction and Outcome Research to Enhance Telehealth Clinical Skills  Katie Aafjes-van Doorn\, PhD [Seminar] [2-Day]
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Special Two (2) Evening Presentation – Sunday\, May 18\, 2025 & Thursday\, May 22\, 2025 \n  \nNARRATIVE: \nThis workshop will provide a 6-hour interactive training translating the latest psychotherapy research into clinical practice. The workshop covers didactics on the therapeutic alliance\, outcome monitoring\, and includes an experiential skills training focused on therapeutic challenges unique to teletherapy. The workshop is geared towards seasoned clinicians across different treatment modalities and is focused on work with adult patient populations. The workshop includes many clinical examples (videos\, transcripts\, vignettes) to link research\, theory and practice. The training workshop will take place in two parts: Sunday evening\, and Thursday evening. It includes an individual online deliberate skills practice\, and a 15 minute break each evening. \nThe workshop will consist of didactics of research and theory\, followed by interactive practice of therapeutic skills. During the first meeting\, the didactics will provide a summary of the latest research evidence and developments in the field of psychotherapy\, including the therapeutic alliance and routine outcome monitoring by sharing. Participants will practice how to implement alliance and symptom measures into clinical practice. This first meeting will end with an individual deliberate practice exercise that will be provided via an online link. This practice will allow participants to put their newly learned skills to the test. \nThe second meeting will start with a didactic training regarding the unique therapeutic challenges and opportunities in teletherapy. This includes the latest evidence on deliberate practice\, teletherapy process and outcomes\, and psychotherapy skills. Participants will be asked to design deliberate practice exercises targeted to their unique strengths and weaknesses. The last part of this training will be in the form of an individual deliberate practice exercise that will be provided via an online link. This last practice will allow participants to put their new learnt skills into practice. \n\nPredictors of Treatment Outcomes\nTherapeutic Relationship\nDeliberate Practice\nRoutine Outcome Monitoring\nTeletherapy Research\nFacilitative Interpersonal Skills Training\n\n  \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES:  \n\nParticipants will be able to describe the four main therapeutic challenges in teletherapy practice\nParticipants will be able to describe the clinical benefits of using routine outcome monitoring in clinical practice\nParticipants will be able to identify the eight common factor therapeutic skills that relate to the alliance and treatment outcomes.\nParticipants will be able to demonstrate their own deliberate practice exercises to help them hone their therapeutic skills independently.\n\n  \nCOURSE OUTLINE – 6 HOURS:\n \n Day 1: 3 hours: 5:30 pm -8.30pm \n  \n5.30-7pm \nKatie Aafjes-van Doorn will present didactic material: summary of the latest research evidence and developments in the field of psychotherapy\, including the therapeutic alliance and routine outcome monitoring by sharing. \n7pm -7.15pm \nParticipants will practice how to implement alliance and symptom measures into clinical practice. These practices will take place in small breakout rooms. \n7.15pm-7.30pm: \nBreak \n7.30-8.30pm \nParticipants will complete an individual deliberate practice exercise that will be provided via an online link. This practice will allow participants to put their newly learned skills to the test\, and practice with different clinical scenarios. \n  \nDay 2: 3 hours: 5:30 pm- 8.30pm \n5.30-7pm: \nKatie Aafjes-van Doorn will provide didactic training regarding the unique therapeutic challenges and opportunities in teletherapy. This includes the latest evidence on deliberate practice\, teletherapy process and outcomes\, and psychotherapy skills. \n7pm -7.15pm \nParticipants will be asked to design deliberate practice exercises targeted to their unique strengths and weaknesses. \n7.15pm-7.30pm: \nBreak \n7.30-8.30pm \nParticipants will complete an individual deliberate practice exercise that will be provided via an online link. This practice will allow participants to put their newly learned skills to the test\, and practice with different clinical scenarios. \n  \n CONTENT CURRICULUM: \nThis workshop will build on the psychotherapy research taught at graduate programs\, providing the participants with updated knowledge about the use and usefulness of teletherapy\, and what we learnt from the research in the past 4 years. \n The content of this workshop is designed for clinicians\, and is directly applicable to psychotherapy practice. The workshop focuses on the therapeutic interaction between patient and clinician and how to make this as therapeutic as possible\, within the context of teletherapy via videoconferencing. \n This workshop is targeted for experienced clinicians who have had clinical experience with providing therapy either in-person or via videoconferencing\, or both. The educational level is intermediate. The individual practices at the end of each evening allow for personalization to the exact clinical strengths and weaknesses of the participant. \n The research evidence that will be presented is conducted by the presenter and her research team\, which means she can present it with confidence. There are no risks to the research reported\, but it will be limited by the clinical focus of the training. Moreover\, it might be slightly biased towards a psychodynamic therapy approach\, given the allegiance of the presenter/researcher. \n Most of the research content that will be presented is biased towards white\, female\, middle-class\, English-speaking samples of participants. However\, the presenter will supplement this with research from China and Europe. The individual practice exercises have been designed to target a wide range of patients\, and a wide arrange of clinical scenarios\, addressing diversity in our patient populations. \n  \n\nBIO: \nDr Aafjes-van Doorn is the Area Head of Social Sciences and a Visiting Associate Professor of Psychology at NYU Shanghai. Dr Aafjes-van Doorn obtained a Doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology and MSc in Psychological Research\, from the University of Oxford\, United Kingdom\, and a MSc in Clinical Psychology at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam\, the Netherlands.

SUMMARY:Trauma and Resiliency: Trauma Informed Care\, Embodied Self-Knowledge\, and Self-Care for Mental Health Providers Sara R. van Koningsveld\, MA\, LPCC\, BC-DMT\, RYT 200  [Seminar]
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]NARRATIVE: \nTrauma-informed care acknowledges the wisdom of the client and their mind-body experience of an event or situation that has impacted their way-of-life. Understanding trauma as a body-based experience\, mental health professionals are exposed throughout to the sensory and somatic memories of their clients. In assisting clients during their healing process\, therapists must also uphold best ethical practices by maintaining personal well-being. This workshop will address trauma informed care (TIC) from a body-based and somatic lens\, as well as the responsibility of managing stress and burnout in mental health settings. With the intention of fostering client resilience\, this presentation will explore the role of provider well being within the psychotherapeutic relationship and client outcomes. \nThis presentation will include research on the mind-body connection and trauma\, exploration of holistic health\, dance/movement therapy\, mindfulness\, and self-care techniques\, and discussion to support best practices in psychotherapy. Current research on TIC\, vicarious trauma in psychotherapy\, wellness and self-care\, burnout prevention\, and related frameworks will be discussed as a way to reinforce provider resilience and self-awareness with the energetic transference of psychotherapy. Throughout the seminar\, participants will be provided opportunities for self-exploration to identify their individual level of stress (and reduce indications of burnout)\, while promoting increased: self-knowledge\, self-care\, and understanding of holistic practices\, including mindfulness and creative expression. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \n\nDefine and explain the following key terms: body-based transference and countertransference\, burnout and compassion fatigue\, self-knowledge\, mindfulness\, resilience\, and mind-body connection as approaches to burnout prevention.\nIntegrate theoretical understanding of self-awareness and body knowledge by identifying one accessible\, time sensitive\, and restorative practice for every day burnout prevention and increasing client resilience.\nName two practical tools for identifying stress in the body (self and client) and the impacts of vicarious trauma and countertransference within psychotherapy sessions.\n\nCOURSE OUTLINE (ESTIMATED TIMELINE) \n8:30 AM         Registration \n9:00 AM         Introduction of presenter \n9:15 AM         Trauma Informed Care\, resilience\, and provider experiences \n9:50 AM         Building self-awareness through mindfulness practice (activity) \n10:00 AM       Self-awareness through mindfulness: clinical implications \n10:20 AM       Break \n10:30 AM       Body-mind connection: terminology and application in psychotherapy\nBody knowledge\, body-based countertransference \n11:30 AM       Mindful movement\, body-based strategies: facilitated movement \n11:40 AM       Mindful movement\, body-based strategies: clinical implications \n12:00 PM        Lunch \n1:00 PM          Living a balanced life: terminology \nSelf-care\, wellness\, well-being\, and burnout prevention \n1:45 PM          Self-reflection (activity) and small group discussion \n2:15 PM          Mindfulness in psychotherapy: terminology and practices \nDiscerning mindfulness and meditation \n3:00 PM          Break \n3:10 PM          Ethical applications of movement in psychotherapy \n3:35 PM          Closing movement practice: grounding and presence \n3:45 PM          Closing remarks and discussion \n4:00 PM          End of seminar/workshop \n  \nCONTENT CURRICULUM \nContent presented in this seminar will enhance the knowledge base of post-graduate studies by introducing concepts from specialized studies in somatic and creative arts therapies. The seminar will build upon knowledge and competencies gained in doctoral studies regarding psychotherapy methods for treating trauma\, and provide integrative and practical applications of methods and techniques. \nContent presented in this workshop will enhance clinical practice through facilitation of documented strategies effective in the treatment of trauma and relevant to practitioner self-care. \nThis presentation informs best practices and limitations on scope of practice\, with consideration for specialized education and training requirements in somatic psychotherapy\, creative arts therapies\, and dance/movement therapy to obtain certification/credentialing. Content presented will address the neuroscience/neuropsychological implications of mindfulness on client and practitioner health and well-being. \nContent presented is intended for emerging and intermediate level practitioners\, with established foundational knowledge of trauma\, neuropsychology\, and client/patient-centered theories and approaches to psychotherapy. Content presumes knowledge of general terminology and theory relevant to trauma informed care\, stress\, burnout\, self-care\, wellness\, and resilience. \nContent presented in this seminar is based on established literature in the trauma therapy\, neuropsychology\, somatic psychology\, and dance/movement therapy fields\, as it relates to trauma informed care\, client/patient-centered psychotherapy\, mind-body connection\, polyvagal theory\, transference/countertransference\, wellness models\, and movement interventions. The methodologies described and facilitated are broadly accepted within the published research available on these topics. The limitations of presented content include the broad and competing literature regarding best practices in psychotherapy treatment for trauma. The content presented is limited due to lack of publication on specific techniques/methods for facilitating body-based trauma treatment and known outcomes. The risk involved in the content provided is relevant to scope of practice and ethical applications of body-based methods for non-credentialed professionals versus those certified in these theories and methods (ex: somatic psychotherapists\, dance/movement therapists\, et al.). \nThis presentation will discuss trauma informed care principles\, as relevant to serving diverse populations. The intersectionality of identity and mental health will be reviewed as relevant to treating clients with lived experience of trauma\, discrimination\, and other forms of marginalization. Activities and interventions will be introduced and facilitated with trauma informed language\, to support the development of ethical\, accessible\, and inclusive care. \n  \n\nBIO: \nSara R. van Koningsveld\, MA\, LPCC/NCC\, BC-DMT\, GL-CMA\, RYT 200 obtained her Master of Arts in Dance/Movement Therapy & Counseling (2011) from Columbia College Chicago.

SUMMARY:Anxiety as a Depth Experience: Exploring the Vicissitudes of Anxiety to Enable more Meaningful Treatment
DESCRIPTION:NARRATIVE: \nPsychodynamic theory suggests that there is an hierarchy of anxieties. Some types of anxieties are native to the conditions of being a helpless infant\, and others emerge with increasing maturity and interpersonal connection. For example\, annihilation anxiety characterizes an existential and pre-verbal sense of inner disaster that belies description. Moral anxiety involves fear of doing the wrong thing or being “bad”. This seminar will explore a developmental continuum of anxieties\, the psychological states which underlie them\, and how they manifest in a person. The emphasis will be on psychodynamic descriptors of anxiety as a meaningful experience to be tolerated\, rather than on disease categories. The discussion will include a critique of common approaches to describing anxiety in terms of disease manifestation rather than internal subjective experience. The instructor will also review approaches for addressing different anxieties in psychotherapy and how they relate to different kinds of character structure. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \nParticipants will be able to: \n\nDifferentiate three different types of anxiety as described in the psychodynamic literature\, including annihilation anxiety\, abandonment anxiety\, and moral anxiety.\nExplain neuropsychological bases of three different anxiety states\, locating each one in a functional area of the brain.\nDescribe three psychodynamically informed treatment strategies for addressing and resolving anxiety states in psychotherapy\, as evidenced by sample case conceptualization practice.\nAssess personality organization on three different cases based on type of anxiety states presenting clinically.\n\nCOURSE OUTLINE — 6 HOURS \n 8:30 am                                \n    Registration \n9:00                      \n   Introduction of presenter \n9:16 am – 10:30 am   \nOrientation to the role of anxiety in a psychodynamic theory\nAnxiety as meaningful experience rather than “symptom”\nPsychoanalytic perspectives: Signal anxiety vs. neurotic or psychotic anxieties\nAnxiety and Object Relations\nAnxiety\, attachment\, and regulation\nNeurobiology of anxiety \n10:30 am — 10:45 am \nBreak \n10:45 am — 11:00 am  \nA developmental hierarchy of anxieties \n11:00 — 11:30 am                      \nAnnihilation anxiety \n11:30 — 12:00 pm \nAbandonment anxiety \n12:00 — 1:00 pm \nLunch Break \n1:00 — 1:30 pm    \nMoral Anxiety \n1:30 — 1:45 pm    \nBreak \n1:45 pm — 2:30 pm \nTreatment considerations for annihilation\, abandonment\, and moral anxiety \n2:30 pm — 4:00 pm \nCrosswalking with personality organization \n  \nCONTENT CURRICULUM: \nThis seminar builds upon key competencies\, skill sets\, and knowledge bases associated with the literature of classic and contemporary psychanalytic psychotherapy\, as well as attachment theory and principles of the neurobiology of attachment. 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 understanding and conceptualizing anxiety\, in addition to effective psychotherapeutic management. The presentation 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 the function and role of anxiety in human experience and behavior.  The theoretical concepts and applied methodologies 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 (for example\, perspectives on reducing versus tolerating anxiety\, or the degree to which anxiety may be understood as adaptive or functional).  The risks involved in this presented content include transient discomfort and emotional impact involved in addressing anxiety states that will be familiar experiences for participants. \nThis presentation will include a discussion of the cultural\, racial\, and gender-based differences in the way anxiety manifests and is subjectively experienced.  For example\, the discussion will include analysis of the complex role of gender in the manifestation of annihilation versus abandonment anxiety. \n\nBIO:  \nDr. Bennett is a licensed psychologist\, lecturer\, and administrator with experience in public sector mental health and substance abuse treatment.

SUMMARY:Psychotherapy Through a Jungian Lens: Navigating the Relationship Between the Unconscious and Conscious Mind in Personal Psychological Development  - Presented by Carolyn Bray\, PhD [Seminar]
DESCRIPTION:NARRATIVE \nOne of Swiss psychiatrist Carl G. Jung’s most notable and underlying theories contributing to the field of psychology is the concept referred to in Jungian terms as the “Ego/Self axis.” It suggests a relationship between an individual’s conscious and unconscious psychological life.  The term “Ego” signifies one’s consciousness\, and the term “Self” identifies the overall organizing principle uniting the psychological whole of an individual.  In the field of psychology\, we are generally more familiar working with the consciousness of an individual\, often referred to as the self\, but in this seminar we will expand on that knowledge to include an understanding of different types of consciousness: introverted\, extroverted\, feeling\, thinking\, sensory\, intuitive. We will extend our awareness of consciousness into the less familiar\, the land of the unconscious or the psyche. We will examine this relationship in a didactic\, discussion\, and case presentation format. Through case presentations\, participants will come to recognize how unconscious material can materialize in individual sessions via dreams\, gestures\, fantasies\, body movement\, metaphors\, identifications with fictional characters\, etc.  This unconscious material can be golden for the process of personal psychological development. Becoming consciously aware of the shadows lurking in the unconscious can bring light into the darkness of certain fears\, uncertainties\, and self-doubts\, therefore becoming transformative. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES \nUpon completing this seminar\, participants should be able to: \n\n\n\nDescribe the Jungian concept of the “Ego-Self Axis.”\nIdentify the two attitudes of consciousness described by Jung and understand their applications in clinical practice.\nIdentify the eight functions of consciousness described by Jung and understand their applications in clinical practice.\nDescribe the differences in a clinical setting between conscious and unconscious patient material.\nIdentify patients’ conscious concerns that are literal and concrete\, and require clinical treatment.\nIdentify patients’ unconscious concerns that are metaphoric and symbolic\, and in need of a clinical response.\nDescribe and discuss the use of dreams and other unconscious patient material within a clinical setting\n\n\n\n  \nSEMINAR COURSE OUTLINE—6 hours \n 8:30 am                                \n    Registration \n9:00 – 9:10 am                      \n   Introduction of presenter \n9:10– 10:30 am   \nJungian Theory of the Ego-Self Axis \nConsciousness and Unconsciousness \nTypes of Consciousness\, Attitudes\, and Functions \n                    Case Vignette \n10:30—10:40 am \nBreak \n10:40 am—12:00 noon  \nUnconscious Material in a Clinical Setting \nAnalysis of Unconscious Patient Material\, Utilization of the “Ego/Self Axis” \nCase Vignette \n12:00—1:00 pm                      \n Lunch \n1:00—1:30 pm \n Q & A \n1:30—2:30 \nWorking with the “Ego/Self Axis” in Clinical Practice \n Case Vignette \n2:30—2:40 pm    \nBreak \n2:40—4:00pm    \nCase Vignettes from Participants \n Q & A \n  \nCONTENT CURRICULUM \n\n\n\nThe differences in individual personalities and cognitive functioning are addressed in programs for school counselors and in business management programs\, but are rarely explored in depth in most graduate training programs in psychology. Understanding the personality differences found in individual behaviors\, communication style\, and emotional regulation remains a relatively new frontier in the field of psychology. Even more rare in graduate training programs in psychology\, is the study of different clinical approaches to the conscious and unconscious psychological concerns. This presentation addresses these gaps in psychological training.\nPatients need their therapist to be attuned to their individual needs; their differences and diversity in conscious attitudes and functioning addressed by the therapist allows the patient to feel heard and seen\, enhancing the therapeutic alliance. The therapist attending to the patient’s unconscious needs speaks to the very depths of the patient’s existence and their endured traumas.\nThe target audience is intermediate to advanced psychologists who have clinical experience\, but little exposure to the Jungian theory of the relationship between the conscious and unconscious mind of an individual.\nDetermining an individual’s psychological type is best achieved by utilizing the test instrument Myers-Briggs along with the therapist’s experience and understanding of the individual. There are certain risks\, however\, that this combination does not account for cultural differences\, and caution should be taken. There are four theories considering the importance of dreaming: physiological\, psychodynamic\, Jungian\, and cognitive. Neuroscientific researcher at Tuft’s Allen Discovery Center\, Erik Hoel\, researched the links between the function that fiction\, the arts\, and dreaming serve human brains. His theory suggests dreams\, like fiction\, may provide a cognitive utility for the human brain. However\, dream research is a formidable task because dreaming is only accessible through subject reporting and not through direct observation. As the field of psychology utilizes functional MRI’s\, which offer direct observation opportunities\, we might expect more accurate research information in the future concerning the function of dreams in the human brain.\nJung’s theory of psychological types supports the concept of psychological diversity; however\, it was not developed during a time when cultural and role differences were necessarily considered. Dreams\, and other metaphoric or unconscious material\, such as myths\, are culturally diverse and the primary themes found in myths from different cultures reveal the universal nature of the human condition with respect to common feelings of anger\, fear\, jealousy\, envy\, power\, etc. Participants will be encouraged to explore with their patients their diverse understandings of images and emotions revealed within their conscious and unconscious experiences.\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.

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.

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: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.

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: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.

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.

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.

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. Community Institute for Psychotherapy maintains responsibility for these programs and their contents. \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. \nCancellations must be received in writing 10 business days prior to the seminar or class for a refund minus a $25 cancellation fee.

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:Deeper Impact\, Wider Reach: Re-Imagining Kleinian Psychoanalysis – by Jennifer Kunst\, PhD [SEMINAR]
DESCRIPTION:Narrative: \nIn the 21st century\, clinicians have many tools available to help their clients change for the better. Despite this abundance of therapeutic models\, clinicians face a lot of pressure to utilize theories and techniques that offer the possibility of alleviating symptoms and improving client functioning in a short time frame. Training programs\, clinics\, insurance companies\, and clients themselves often prefer short-term\, more cost-effective models. Despite significant research showing their deep and lasting effects\, psychoanalytic models are often relegated to the backseat and judged as too lengthy and too costly. This workshop will offer a perspective on re-imagining the psychoanalytic model to make it more relevant to today’s mental health care culture and more useful for the 21st century clinician. The psychoanalytic theory and technique of Melanie Klein will be explored in detail and with an emphasis on a user-friendly approach. Through the use of didactic presentations\, live demonstration\, and case presentations\, the following topics will be covered: Klein’s model of psychopathology\, normal development\, and technique; Klein’s model of mental health; and clinical application of the Kleinian model in non-traditional settings and with a wide variety of patients. \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\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 the Self Through Affect Integration:  An Intersubjective Approach – by Jane Rubin\, PhD [SEMINAR]
DESCRIPTION:Narrative: \nWhat is the source of our patients’ suffering? How can we most effectively address it? There are as many psychoanalytic answers to these questions as there are psychoanalytic theories. From the perspective of intersubjectivity theory\, many of the issues our patients struggle with—poor decision-making\, difficulties establishing trusting relationships\, addictions and other self-destructive behaviors\, and more— are best understood as the consequence of their inability to experience a full range of affects. Intersubjectivity theory helps us understand why our patients have difficulty experiencing both negative and positive affects; the impact this has on their lives; and how the therapists can help patients to experience greater affect integration. \nIn this seminar\, we’ll study contemporary intersubjectivity theory\, as well as relevant articles from infant research\, to understand how to work effectively with patients who suffer from significant affective constriction. In each class meeting\, we’ll discuss a foundational paper in intersubjectivity theory. Topics will include how affects organize self-experience\, the forms and importance of non-verbal communication\, and working in the transference to increase the patient’s affective range. Each class session will include a discussion of a foundational article in intersubjectivity theory.

SUMMARY:The Rough Patch in Marriage: Working with Couples Psychoanalytically – Daphne de Marneffe\, PhD [SEMINAR]
DESCRIPTION:Narrative: Empirical and clinical research on couple processes and couple therapy has expanded in the last thirty years.  Simultaneously\, psychoanalytic views of development and therapeutic action have incorporated findings from research on attachment\, mentalization\, and emotion.  This seminar provides a grounding in current theories of mentalization\, couple therapy\, and adult development as a vehicle for considering the crises and challenges of long-term intimate relationships and how to best work with them psychoanalytically. As therapists\, we need to hold in tension the needs of the individuals and the needs of the couple. How do marriage and individual development enhance or constrain each other?  How does our therapeutic perspective change by virtue of treating the individual or the couple?  Through the use of didactic presentation\, clinical examples\, and interactive discussion\, the following topics will be covered: the roles of attachment\, mentalization\, and emotion regulation in couple dynamics; enhancing the “couple state of mind”; a clinical approach for enlivening “dead” couples; and clinical dilemmas surrounding specific issues in long-term relationships (affairs\, drug/alcohol use\, money\, children\, health\, and the empty nest). Together we will think about the values—psychoanalytic\, ethical\, existential—that shape our understanding of these issues and inform our clinical choices. \nDaphne de Marneffe\, PhD is a psychologist and author of The Rough Patch: Marriage and the Art of Living Together and Maternal Desire: On Children\, Love\, and the Inner Life.   She has published scholarly papers on gender identity development\, maternal subjectivity\, and psychoanalytic history\, and she teaches and lectures on couple therapy\, adult development\, and parenthood. She is also a contributing editor to Parents Magazine\, where she writes a monthly column on couple relationships.  Her work has been featured in the New York Times\, O Magazine\, NPR\, Greater Good\, Psychotherapy Networker\, and Talks at Google.  She is in private practice in Corte Madera\, CA \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: 6 CEs for LMFTs & LCSWs and 6 CEs for Psychologists \nCommunity Institute for Psychotherapy is approved by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education for psychologists.

SUMMARY:A Field Guide to Dreams and Dreaming [Four Day Seminar] – Presented by Meredith Sabini\, PhD [SEMINAR]
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, March 13\, March 27\, & April 10\, April 24\, 2020 | 12:15 pm – 2:15 pm \nNarrative: Dreams have fallen off our professions map and we no longer turn to them for diagnostic and prognostic information\, as healing traditions previously have. Since clinical training programs provide no education on empirical findings or creative dreamwork methods\, therapists are left falling back on outdated and unsubstantiated notions such as that dreams are wish- fulfillment or pertain only to the dreamer; or therapists tell clients they don’t know how to work with dreams. This lamentable situation is easily rectified: “not-knowingness” can become the starting point for a dream dialogue with a client by acknowledging that a dream’s meaning and purpose do not exist ahead of time but will emerge with exploration. \nThis program\, offered by a dream specialist with four decades’ experience in dream research and education\, draws on the analogy of a botanical foray where the shape of foliage\, texture of bark\, root structure\, and type of seed pod are noted. Likewise with dream examples\, we will look at the narrative\, actors\, dreamer’s stance\, and resources. The long-evolved dreaming mind has already done the hard work of creating a storyline to depict the dreamer’s intrapsychic and interpersonal issues with spot-on precision. By carefully observing and exploring what the dream offers\, we will come upon the essential metaphors that are salient to a client’s past history and present issues. Participants will discover that dreams can contain both subjective and objective information about the dreamer and others that can be of great value in helping them navigate challenging life situations. Open to clinicians of any orientation and experience level. Bring client and/or your own dreams for exploration. Examples also provided by instructor. \nMeredith Sabini\, PhD is founder/director of The Dream Institute of Northern California\, in Berkeley\, and a state CE Provider since 1997. She is widely published in the field of dream studies and has specialized in dream education and consultation for 30 years. She is CIP’s director of Dream Training \n\nCOST:  \nNon Members:\n$160 early registration\, up to 10 days prior to first session\, $180 after \nCIP Members:\n$130 early registration\, up to 10 days prior to first session\, $150 after \nCEs: 8 CEs for LMFTs and LCSWs and 8 CEs for Psychologists (Certificates issued after completion of the 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 these programs and their contents. \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. \nCancellations must be received in writing 10 business days prior to the seminar or class for a refund minus a $25 cancellation fee.

SUMMARY:Buried Above Ground Understanding\, Assessing\, and Treating Suicidal People – Presented by Joseph H. Obegi\, PsyD
DESCRIPTION:Narrative: 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 course fulfills the BOP-CA suicide requirement for psychologists. \n Dr. Joseph 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 the inpatient psychiatric units at the California Medical Facility.

SUMMARY:Neurodevelopmental Art Therapy: Treating Complex Trauma – Presented by Linda Chapman\, MA\, ATR-BC [SEMINAR]
DESCRIPTION:Current research indicates that the right hemisphere is dominant in psychotherapy (Schore 2014; Bromberg\, 2006; van der Kolk\, 2015). This day-long workshop will feature an evidence-based model of treatment developed by the presenter to treat acute and complex trauma experienced by children and adolescents that utilizes the integrative capacity of the brain (Chapman\, 2014). A brief theoretical basis for the model will be offered\, based on the advances in the neurosciences pertaining to the storage and retrieval of traumatic images and memories\, art therapy\, developmental psychology\, and trauma resolution therapy research (Schore\, 2014; Panksapp; 1998; Perry\, 2010). \nThe treatment model\, Neurodevelopmental Art Therapy (NDAT) includes specific art interventions for treating acute traumatic episodes and persistent exposure to stress and trauma using directive and non-directive art therapy techniques. Examples of art media\, art products\, and the methods of facilitating and utilizing the creative process in therapy will be offered for a variety of treatment issues. \nThere will be an opportunity for experiential learning through experimentation with simple art media. All activities are designed to be safe\, private\, and confidential. No prior art training is necessary. \nLearning Goals and Objectives: \n\nUnderstand and describe the traumatic stress response and the effect on the mind and body\nDescribe an evidence-based treatment intervention for brief\, acute traumatic episodes\nDescribe art media techniques to implement an evidence- based model of PTSD treatment\nDescribe ways to strengthen the integrative capacity of the brain for optional emotional regulation\, behavior control\, and learning.\n\n  \nLinda Chapman\, MA\, ATR-BC\, is a registered and Board Certified art therapist and founder of the Art Therapy Institute of the Redwoods in Northern California.  Linda has published several book chapters\, and peer reviewed papers\, and is the author of Neurobiologically Informed Trauma Therapy with Children and Adolescents: Understanding Mechanisms of Change.  Linda specializes in treating children and teens with learning difficulties\, and those with histories of acute and chronic child abuse\, violence and medical trauma. \n\nCOST:  \nCIP Members:\n$75 early registration 10 days prior to seminar; $85 after \nNon-Members:\n$110 early registration up to 10 days prior to seminar\, $120 after \nCEs: 6 CEs for LMFTs\, LCSWs\, and Psychologists. \nCommunity Institute for Psychotherapy is approved by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education for psychologists.
