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. Please let us know of any disabilities upon registration to ensure proper accommodations are put in place prior to the workshop/training. \nCancellations must be received in writing 10 business days prior to the seminar\, class\, or first study group session for a refund minus a $25 cancellation fee. Cancellations less than ten days will not be refunded.

SUMMARY:Developing an Advanced Ethical Framework for Clinical Practice:  A Psychoanalytic Approach - Presented by Jennifer Kunst\, PhD [Class]
DESCRIPTION:NARRATIVE: \nThis seminar will offer an advanced framework for clinical practice through a psychoanalytic lens\, taking seriously the need for an “outside in” and an “inside out” approach to ethical considerations. The external established framework of legal and professional ethics serves as the foundation for an internal model that is fluid\, lived\, applied\, and emerging within the context of the clinical work itself. General rules and guidelines about ethical behavior serve as our compass. However\, we also need to develop an internal framework that can help us think and find our bearings in the challenging conditions that we encounter in the stormy conditions of psychodynamic and psychoanalytic work. Clinical examples and vignettes will be presented to deepen this exploration. \n  \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \nUpon completion of this workshop\, participants should be able to: \n\nDistinguish between a rule-based model of ethics and a model of lived ethics;\nCompare paternal and maternal models of legal/ethical principles;\nDifferentiate the features of serious boundary violations and ethical misdemeanors;\nDescribe a clinical scenario that illustrates the conflict between ethical ideals and clinicians’ basic human nature;\nList three factors that make it impossible for clinicians to realize their ethical ideals in psychodynamic psychotherapy;\nList three examples of ethical delinquencies or misdemeanors that might occur in a therapy session;\nIdentify two ways in which telephone sessions increase the possibility of minor ethical enactments.\n\n  \nCOURSE OUTLINE – 4 HOURS: \n9:00 am-10:30 am: Ethics from the Outside In and the Inside Out \nDr. Kunst will offer a presentation exploring the differences between legal\, ethical\, moral\, and technical considerations in psychodynamic psychotherapy and psychoanalysis. She will present a model in which the external framework of legal and ethical issues is valued as a foundation for the internalization of an ethical model that can be fluidly applied to unique clinical situations. She will ground this ethical framework in a modern theory of the Oedipus Complex that distinguishes paternal and maternal modes of functioning.  \n10:30 am-10:45 am: Break \n10:45 am-11:30 am: Impossible Ethics \nDr. Kunst will explore Sarah Ackerman’s paper\, Impossible Ethics\, in which she highlights the inevitable strains of psychodynamic work and the ways in which we must aspire to but cannot uphold our ideal ethics due to our human limitations\, conflicts\, and desires. She will explore concepts related to deferred action and neighborly love as essential to ethical work in psychoanalytic psychotherapy. \n11:30 am-11:35 am: Break \n11:35 am-12:15 pm: Ethical Misdemeanors \nDr. Kunst will explore Joyce Slochower’s paper\, The Analyst’s Secret Delinquencies\, distinguishing between boundary violations and boundary crossings. Ethical misdemeanors are ubiquitous in clinical work and can be understood as manifestations of clinical phenomena as well as the personal challenges that every clinician must face. A case example will illustrate these concepts. \n12:15 pm-12:20 pm: Break \n12:20 pm-1:00 pm: Altruism and Boundary Violations \nDr. Kunst will explore Beth Seelig’s paper\, Altruism and Boundary Violations\, a case study of a serious boundary violation by a therapist and the steps taken to understand and work through challenging clinical dilemmas in an ethical manner. \n  \nCONTENT CURRICULUM: \n1) Doctoral programs in psychology focus on establishing a rule based model of legal and ethical principles that is necessary but not sufficient for advanced clinical practice. In this workshop\, an advanced ethical framework will be presented that upholds the external legal and ethical framework and deepens ethical practice through the internalization of this framework\, drawing from a psychoanalytic theoretical model. \n  \n2) The knowledge the participant gains will enhance their psychological practice by teaching clinicians how to apply legal and ethical guidelines in specific challenging clinical situations in a fluid way. \n  \n3) The target audience is everyone who is working clinically in the mental health field.  The concepts will be explained simply enough so that they will be accessible to participants who are beginners in the field\, as well as those with advanced knowledge. \n  \n4) The content is grounded in peer-reviewed literature from highly regarded psychoanalytic journals. While psychoanalytic ethics is largely conceptual and clinically derived\, many of the principles discussed (e.g.\, therapeutic boundaries\, enactments\, countertransference) have also been discussed in broader psychotherapy outcome research. Limitations include the reliance on a single theoretical orientation and the need for appropriate supervision to avoid misapplication.. \n  \n5) While psychoanalytic theory has not always foregrounded cultural or identity-based differences\, this seminar will include examples and discussions of how ethical dilemmas can manifest differently depending on cultural context\, identity\, and therapist–client dynamics. The presenter will demonstrate how internalized ethical frameworks can be applied sensitively across diverse populations. \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”; her book\, “Wisdom from the Couch: Knowing and Growing Yourself from the Inside Out” (Central Recovery Press\, 2014); and her online continuing education program for mental health professionals\, “Psychoanalytic Essentials”. \n  \n\nCOST:  \nCIP Members: \n$100 early registration up to 10 days prior to class\, $120 after \nNon-members:  \n$120 early registration up to 10 days prior to class\, $140 after \n  \nCEs: \n4 CEs for LMFTs & LCSWs\, LPCCs and 4 CEs for Psychologists \n*Meets Requirements for Law & Ethics Continuing Education Credits* \nThe Community Institute for Psychotherapy is approved by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education for psychologists.

SUMMARY:What Every Psychotherapist Needs to Know About Divorce: Know the Factors that Create Healthy Break Ups - Presented by Stephen H. Sulmeyer\, J.D.\, PhD [Class]
DESCRIPTION:NARRATIVE: \n  \nDivorce has long been seen as a battle fought by adversarial attorneys\, often leaving both partners—and especially their children—as casualties. Ample research has explored the emotional and developmental toll of such high-conflict divorces\, and clinicians must be conversant with this body of work. Since the rise of divorce mediation in the 1970s\, the process of divorce has evolved significantly\, creating alternative\, less adversarial pathways and generating new research. \nIn California\, where over half of all first marriages end in divorce\, psychotherapists must understand the factors associated with both successful and poor outcomes for divorcing individuals and their children. In addition to research literacy\, clinicians benefit from psychodynamic and empathic skills that allow them to help patients navigate this complex transition. \nThis workshop will familiarize clinicians with the research on both litigated and non-litigated divorce processes\, their effects on parents and children\, and the various alternatives to traditional litigation. Participants will explore key risk\, resilience\, and stabilizing factors associated with different divorce trajectories\, as well as interventions available to help high-conflict couples co-parent effectively after separation. Clinicians will leave with tools to support their patients in ways that enhance psychological resilience and post-divorce family functioning. \n  \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \nUpon completion of this workshop\, participants should be able to: \n\n Identify key legal\, ethical\, and clinical issues relevant to working with patients navigating divorce.\n Describe how therapists can communicate and collaborate with legal and divorce professionals to support clients during the divorce process.\n Identify at least five divorce process options\, including alternatives to litigation.\n Summarize research on risk and resilience factors for both adults and children undergoing divorce.\n Explain three core aspects of divorce law and the litigation process.\n\n  \nCOURSE OUTLINE – 4 HOURS: \n8:30 am – Registration \n9:00–9:15 am – Introduction \n\nPresenter introductions\nOverview of the day’s topic and structure\n\n9:15–10:15 am – Divorce: More Than a Legal Event \n\nReframing divorce as a multifaceted process (legal\, financial\, emotional)\nCultural and socioeconomic factors\nBasics of family law for clinicians\n\n10:15–11:00 am – Effects of Divorce on Adults \n\nDivorce as potential growth vs. trauma\nComparisons with dysfunctional intact families\nCo-parenting challenges\nEconomic and relational impacts\n\n11:00–11:15 am – Break \n11:15–12:00 pm – Divorce and Children: Risk and Resilience \n\nParenting plans: developmental considerations\nInfluence of parental mental health\, substance abuse\, domestic violence\nTailoring plans for diverse child needs\n\n12:00–12:30 pm – Working With Divorcing Patients \n\nHow and when to tell children\nSupporting patients emotionally through the process\n\n12:30–1:00 pm – Divorce Process Options \n\nMediation\, collaborative divorce\, litigation\, DIY approaches\nChoosing the right lawyer\nSupporting clients in making informed choices\n\n  \nCONTENT CURRICULUM: \n1)  This program builds on the foundations of doctoral-level training by applying clinical\, legal\, and ethical concepts to the specific context of divorce. It offers both research-based insights and real-world applications to enhance clinical judgment and effectiveness. \n2) All clinicians will encounter patients affected by divorce. This program equips therapists to understand\, explain\, and apply relevant legal and psychological knowledge\, improving patient care and confidence in navigating complex family dynamics. \n3) This training is suitable for clinicians at all levels—from newly licensed practitioners to experienced therapists—who wish to deepen their understanding of divorce-related issues in clinical work. The material will be accessible to beginners while offering nuance and depth for advanced learners. \n4)  The content is based on peer-reviewed research with well-established validity and reliability. However\, research findings are statistical and do not always predict individual experiences. A central risk lies in overly rigid application of generalized data. Clinicians are encouraged to use this information as a framework for individualizing care. \n5) This program takes into account the diversity of clients in the Bay Area and beyond\, including intercultural marriages\, immigrant families\, non-marital co-parents\, and LGBTQ+ families. Discussion will include the importance of humility and cultural sensitivity when working with diverse populations\, and how to adapt divorce support to individual differences in background and worldview. \n  \n\nBIO: \nSTEPHEN H. SULMEYER\, J.D.\, Ph.D. is a mediator with JAMS in San Francisco and a clinical psychologist working with patients throughout California. As a mediator he specializes in complex and high-conflict disputes in a wide range of subject areas\, including family and divorce\, probate and elder\, family businesses\, business/commercial\, intellectual property\, employment\, discrimination\, partnerships\, and community matters.

SUMMARY:Mission Impossible? An Intersubjective Approach To Doing Therapy In Dark Times - Presented by Jane Rubin\, PhD\, PhD\, PsyD [Study Group] [8-Days]
DESCRIPTION:Eight sessions\, the third Friday of the month:  \nOct. 17th\, Nov 21st\, Dec 19th\, 2025; Jan 16th\, Feb 20th\, Mar 20th\, Apr 17th\, May 15th\, 2026  \n12:30 – 2:30 pm \n  \nNARRATIVE:  \nMany of our patients come to therapy because they’re desperate to find\, or to rediscover\, a sense of possibility in their lives. They’ve lost faith in the possibility of finding meaningful work or a satisfying relationship\, of overcoming the obstacles that hold them back in their lives\, or of simply feeling better about themselves and their life direction. \nHolding a sense of possibility for our patients can sometimes be difficult. But it can be especially difficult in these times\, when so many possibilities–for health\, for education\, for racial and economic justice\, for financial security– are being foreclosed daily. \nIn this fraught environment\, how do we both acknowledge the reality of our present situation\, and hold out a sense of hope for our patients\, many of whom now have a whole new host of worries about how best to live through these difficult times? What do we do when we share our patients’ worries? What do we do when we don’t share them\, and have trouble understanding them? \nIntersubjectivity theory is based on the premise that patients’ and therapists’ experiences of the world are grounded in their unconscious organizing principles. Sometimes our organizing principles differ radically from each other–a situation Intersubjectivity theory refers to as an “intersubjective disjunction” . Sometimes they’re similar–what Intersubjectivity calls an “intersubjective conjunction”. Learning to work with intersubjective disjunctions and conjunctions is at the heart of working intersubjectively. It can be especially important in these times\, when patients’ and therapists’ fears and anxieties threaten to undermine our hopes for a better future. \nThe readings in this course will cover the basic concepts of Intersubjectivity theory\, including intersubjective conjunctions and disjunctions; the repetitive and developmental dimensions of the transference; and the intersubjective understanding of trauma. Through case presentations\, participants will learn to apply these concepts in clinical situations. \n  \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \nUpon completion of this workshop\, participants should be able to: \n\nDefine intersubjective disjunctions and conjunctions and describe how they manifest in the therapeutic relationship.\nIdentify and apply strategies to repair ruptures caused by intersubjective disjunctions in therapy.\nRecognize and address unrecognized intersubjective conjunctions\, understanding their potential impact on treatment dynamics.\nDefine transference and countertransference from an intersubjective perspective and differentiate between the repetitive and developmental dimensions of the transference.\nDescribe the difference between the forward edge and the trailing edge of the transference\, and explain when to focus on each dimension in treatment.\nApply intersubjectivity theory to therapeutic practice\, with a focus on helping patients maintain and cultivate a sense of hope and possibility during challenging times.\nIntegrate intersubjective theory concepts into clinical case work\, demonstrating increased facility in recognizing and working with intersubjective dynamics in diverse clinical settings.\n\n  \nCOURSE OUTLINE – 2 HOURS: \n12:30-1:15 pm \nInstructor will provide an in-depth analysis of a core concept in \nIntersubjectivity theory. Each class will focus on one of the following \nConcepts:  \n\nIntersubjective disjunctions and conjunctions.\nRupture and repair.\nRecognizing intersubjective conjunctions.\nThe intersubjective understanding of transference.\nThe forward edge and the trailing edge of the transference.\nThe repetitive and developmental dimensions of the transference.\nHow and when to work in each dimension of the transference.\nIdentifying and strengthening patients’ sense of possibility\n\n1:15-2:30 pm \nA participant will present a case and the class will discuss the case with the aim of integrating the theoretical concepts discussed in the first part of the class with actual clinical material. \n  \nCONTENT CURRICULUM \n1) How program content will build upon the foundation of a completed doctoral program in psychology: \nStudents in doctoral programs in psychology are usually introduced to basic psychoanalytic and psychodynamic concepts. They rarely receive any exposure to Intersubjectivity theory and other contemporary psychoanalytic theories\, or to the many ideas about the treatment process Intersubjectivity theory proposes. This course builds upon students’ doctoral level familiarity with basic psychoanalytic concepts to introduce them to more contemporary ways of thinking and practicing. \n2) How content is specifically relevant to psychological practice\, education\, or science: \nMany clinical psychologists struggle with how to successfully help patients who are struggling with maintaining a sense of hope and possibility. Some therapists share their patients’ sense of hopelessness\, and are unable to treat it effectively.  Other therapists become frustrated when their patients don’t share their hopefulness.  This content is specifically designed to give therapists more conceptual tools\, and practice in applying them\, so they can successfully treat patients who are struggling to maintain a sense of hope and possibility in their lives. \n3)  Target audience and instructional level of content (introductory\, intermediate\, or advanced): \nThe content for this course is intermediate. It assumes that participants have had some postgraduate clinical experience and that they have a basic familiarity with psychoanalytic ideas such as transference. \n4) Limitations of the content taught and their most common risks: \nI do not believe that there are risks to this material if people understand it well. One of the main objectives of contemporary psychoanalytic practice is not to injure our patients. One of the main objectives of this course is to help therapists work effectively so that their patients are able to achieve their goals without being retraumatized by their therapy. The limitations are that no one should ever rely on one group of theories in their work. There is nothing in contemporary psychoanalysis that precludes the use of CBT\, DBT\, or any other non psychoanalytic technique when that technique will be useful to the patient. \n5) How content reflects the appreciation of diverse populations: \nThe entire emphasis of contemporary psychoanalysis—and\, especially\, of Intersubjectivity theory—is that each patient and therapist brings his or her entire self into the treatment. This includes individual\, cultural\, and role differences. A major focus of this course is understanding how these differences play a role in the treatment\, and how understanding how best to work with them can enrich the therapeutic process. \n  \n\nBIO: \nJane Rubin\, PhD\, PhD\, PsyD\, received her PhD in philosophy from UC Berkeley and her PhD in clinical psychology from the Wright Institute. She did her psychoanalytic training at the Institute of Contemporary Psychoanalysis in Los Angeles. She is in private practice in Berkeley. \n  \n\nCOST:  \nCIP Member Rate:  \n$400 early registration up to 10 days prior to first session\, $480 after      \nNon-member Rate:   \n$480 early registration up to 10 days prior to first session\, $560 after \nCEs: 16 CEs for LMFTs & LCSW\, LPCCs and 16 CEs for Psychologists.  Certificates issued after completion of 8 sessions. \nThe Community Institute for Psychotherapy is approved by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education for psychologists.

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. For over 10 years\, Sara was employed in community mental health nonprofits across California\, providing clinical mental health services\, as well as supervision for graduate level clinicians.

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:Ascending Spiral Paths: An Integrated Approach to Understanding Personality Development Using Jungian and Psychoanalytic Theory  Presented by: Dr. Matthew Bennett\, PhD [Study Group] [4-Days]
DESCRIPTION:Four sessions\, the second Saturday of the month: Dec. 14\, 2024; Jan 11\, Feb. 8\, Mar. 8\, 2025  | 10:00am – 12:00pm \n  \nNARRATIVE:  \nPsychologist\, lecturer\, and author Dr. Matthew Bennett will review the content of his recently released book\, Integrated Analytical Psychology: Return to Freedom and Dignity.  The author reviews an integrative circumplex model of personality development combining the Jungian perspective of archetypal thematic content with psychoanalytic models emphasizing self-psychology and the progressive influence of defenses in personality development.  The integrative analytical model integrates an ascending evolution of mental representation ranging from archetypal origins to manifested behavioral traits\, with four thematic “quadrants” comprising content of the personality styles depicted in the literature of applied clinical psychology.  An evolutionary ascending spiral path ties together the levels and quadrants of personality development in a compelling narrative of personality development which combines Jungian emphasis on archetypal experience with psychoanalytic sensibilities around defensive styles and their role in evolution of a sense of self. \n  \nGOALS: \nParticipants will be able to: \n\nDifferentiate among 6 levels of mental representation represented in psychoanalytic\, Jungian\, and cognitive-behavioral theoretical perspectives: archetype\, symbol\, object\, complex\, schema\, and self.\nApply knowledge of four key personality organizations to psychotherapeutic methodology: schizoid\, narcissistic\, histrionic\, and depressive personalities.\nDescribe key features of deterministic chaos theory and complex adaptive systems theory in relation to personality development.\nExplain how knowledge of the above mentioned theories may be applied to psychotherapeutic process to enhance treatment outcomes for clients with psychopathology that arises from personality development.\n\n  \nSCHEDULE: \n8:30 am           Registration \n9 – 9:15           Introduction of presenter \n9:15 – 10:00    Mental Representation and its role in Personality Development \nArchetype \nSymbol \nObject \nComplex \nSchema \nSelf \n10:00 – 10:30  Archetypal Axes of Personality Development \n10:30 – 10:45 Break \n10:45 – 12:00  The Spiral Developmental Path and the Archetypal Quadrants \n1st Quadrant:   Sensitive Personalities \n2nd Quadrant:  Imperial Personalities \n3rd Quadrant:   Radiant Personalities \n4th Quadrant:   Depressive Personalities \n  \nCONTENT CURRICULM \nThis seminar builds upon key theoretical perspectives on mental representation drawn from psychoanalytic theory\, including object relations\, self psychology\, and intersubjective theory\, as well as Jungian and post-Jungian perspectives\, as well as complexity theory related to deterministic chaos and complex adaptive systems. \nThis presentation directly informs the clinical praxis of understanding and conceptualizing personality styles including direct explication of considerations for 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 related 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 personality structure manifests and is subjectively experienced.  For example\, the discussion will include analysis of the complex role of gender in the manifestation of relational needs in personality development. \n  \n\nBIO: \nDr. Bennett is a licensed psychologist\, lecturer\, and administrator with experience in public sector mental health and substance abuse treatment. His clinical background is in inpatient psychiatric settings and outpatient community mental health settings. He was formerly founder and first Director of Training for the Ventura County Behavioral Health Pre-Doctoral Internship in Clinical Psychology and Chair of the Santa Barbara County Psychological Association.  He is a core faculty member at Pacifica Graduate Institute and currently chairs the Department of Counseling Psychology at Pacifica.

SUMMARY:Liberation Through Dreams: Synthesizing Jungian Insights and Ethnopsychology to Decolonize Clinical Practice and Enhance Cultural Sensitivity  Presented by: Nadia Thalji\, PhD [Seminar]
DESCRIPTION:NARRATIVE: \nThis presentation serves as the introduction to a seminar exploring relevance and symbiotic relationship between Jungian psychology and ethnopsychology within a postcolonial context. Participants will delve into the intricate landscape of dreams\, navigating cultural dream narratives and examining how Jungian archetypes intertwine with the impact of colonial histories. Special emphasis is placed on clinical implications\, offering insights into therapeutic approaches that bridge the realms of cultural sensitivity\, dream analysis\, and psychological healing. \n  \nLEARNING OBJECTIVE: \n\nDemonstrate an understanding of the intersection between Jungian psychology\, ethnopsychology\, and postcolonial perspectives in the context of decolonizing clinical practice\nIdentify the cultural nuances and historical legacies shaping dream narratives with postcolonial framework\, incorporating Jungian archetypes into the analysis.\nAnalyze the clinical implications of integrating cultural sensitivity\, dream analysis\, and psychological healing within therapeutic approaches\, as discussed in the seminar.\nApply the principles of decolonizing clinical practice\, as outlined in the seminar\, to create psychotherapy strategies that honor cultural diversity and promote liberation through dream work.\n\nCOURSE OUTLINE \n8:30 am \nIntroduction of presenter \n9:00 am \nOverview of Jungian and Ethnopsychological Perspectives \n10:00 am \nExploration of Cultural Dream Narratives and Jungian Archetypes \n10:15 am \nBreak \n10:30 am \nClinical Implications: Therapeutic Approaches and Cultural Sensitivity \n11:00 am \nCase Studies: Integrating Ethnopsychology and Jungian Insights \n12:00 pm \nLunch Break \n1:00 pm \nDream Analysis Workshop: Interpreting Dreams within a Postcolonial Framework \n2:00 pm \nInteractive Discussion: Decolonizing Psychological Discourse \n3:00 pm \nStrategies for Incorporating Ethnopsychology and Jungian Insights into Clinical Practice \n4:00 pm \nEnd of Summer \n  \nCONTENT CURRICULUM \nThis workshop will expand the participant’s knowledge about how culture and colonialism shape psychology through an application of Jungian archetypes and dream analysis. \nPeople who seek psychological help are often\, is not always\, impacted by colonial histories in ways they are typically unaware. An opportunity to expand and deepen psychotherapeutic treatment opens when practitioners hold in mind how people’s inner worlds are shaped by such histories. \nThe target audience is everyone who is working clinically in the mental health field.  The concepts will be explained simply enough so that they will be accessible to participants who are beginners in the field\, as well as those with advanced knowledge. \nThe content is based on research and theoretical developments in both the fields of psychology and ethnography published in peer reviewed journals.  None of the content incurs risks. \nThe content of this course is centered upon diversity and culture\, particularly as it relates to colonial histories. \n  \n\nBIO: \nDr. Nadia Thalji\, Ph.D.\, is a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in depth psychology.

SUMMARY:Anxiety\, Identity\, and the Therapy Relationship: Intersubjective Approaches to Resistance to Change  Presented by: Jane Rubin\, PhD [Study Group] [8-Days]
DESCRIPTION:Eight sessions\, the third Friday of the month: Oct. 18\, Nov 15\, Dec 20\, 2024 | Jan 17\, Feb 21\, Mar 21\, Apr 18\, May 16\, 2025 | 12:30 – 2:30 pm \nNARRATIVE:\nIt’s a truism in therapy\, and in our culture in general\, that change is difficult. Some kinds of change are more difficult than others\, however. One of the most difficult\, if not the most difficult\, kinds of personal change is one that involves a fundamental shift in an individual’s sense of identity. \nOne sign of the difficulty of this kind of change is the catastrophic anxiety that often accompanies. Loss of relationships\, natural disasters\, life-threatening illnesses\, and many other predictions of doom can be signs that an individual is on the precipice of making deep changes in their understanding of who they are. \nPopular recommendations for dealing with catastrophic anxiety leave it up to the individual. A random web search produces recommendations such as “Catastrophic thoughts are more likely to take over when experiencing fatigue or stress. Getting enough rest and engaging in stress-relieving techniques\, such as exercise\, meditation\, and journaling\, can all help a person feel better.” \nThere’s nothing wrong with these recommendations. However\, from the point of view of intersubjectivity theory\, they leave out the most important thing–the relational context in which catastrophic anxieties arise. Past and present relationships and\, most crucially\, our patients’ relationships with us\, are critical in determining whether our patients overcome their catastrophic fears or are undone by them. \nIn this course\, we’ll examine intersubjective approaches to understanding and treating fear of the kind of change that involves questions like: Who will I be if I’m not the person my significant others seem to need me to be? Will I destroy my relationships with my significant others if I become the person I want and need to be? How do I know who I want to be? \nTopics will include: 1) Robert Stolorow’s concept of existential anxiety; 2) Steven Stern’s concept of psychic homelessness; 3) Leonard Shengold’s ideas about the relationship between change and loss and 4) Bernard Brandchaft’s concept of the dread not to repeat. \n  \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES \nUpon completion of this workshop\, participants should be able to: \n\nUnderstand the difference between catastrophic anxiety and other forms of anxiety.\nIdentify four signs that a patient is experiencing catastrophic anxiety.\nDescribe at least four ways catastrophic anxiety can manifest itself in the relationship between patient and therapist.\nDescribe how to work in the transference to reduce catastrophic anxiety.\nDescribe the relationship between catastrophic anxiety and anxious attachment.\nDescribe the relationship between catastrophic anxiety and disorganized attachment.\n\nThe seminar will include discussion of readings\, followed by case presentations by the participants. The case presentations are intended to help participants effectively translate the ideas in the readings from theory to practice. Participants should develop greater facility in recognizing\, and helping patients to find relief from\, catastrophic anxiety. \n  \nCOURSE OUTLINE: \n12:30-1:15 pm \nInstructor will provide an in-depth analysis of a core concept in intersubjectivity theory’s understanding of catastrophic anxiety. Each class will focus on one of the following concepts: \n\n\n\nDefining catastrophic anxiety.\nThe relationship between existential anxiety and catastrophic anxiety.\nHow psychic homelessness contributes to catastrophic anxiety.\nHow major losses contribute to catastrophic anxiety.\nThe  relationship between pathological accommodation and catastrophic anxiety.\nHow to recognize the  signs that a patient is experiencing catastrophic anxiety.\nHow to recognize transference manifestations of catastrophic anxiety.\nHow to work in the transference to reduce catastrophic anxiety.\n\n\n\n1:15-2:30 pm \nA participant will present a case and the class will discuss the case with the aim of integrating the theoretical concepts discussed in the first part of the class with actual clinical material. \n  \nCONTENT CURRICULUM \nStudents in doctoral programs in psychology are usually introduced to basic psychoanalytic and psychodynamic concepts. They rarely receive any exposure to intersubjectivity theory and other contemporary psychoanalytic theories\, or to the many ideas about the treatment process intersubjectivity theory proposes. This course builds upon students’ doctoral level familiarity with basic psychoanalytic concepts to introduce them to more contemporary ways of thinking and practicing. \nMany clinical psychologists struggle with how to successfully help patients who are struggling with overwhelming\, seemingly irrational\, anxieties. Sometimes they blame their patients for not getting better. Other times\, they blame themselves for being ineffective. This content is specifically designed to give therapists more conceptual tools\, and practice in applying them\, so they can successfully treat patients who suffer from catastrophic anxieties. \nThe content for this course is intermediate. It assumes that participants have had some postgraduate clinical experience and that they have a basic familiarity with psychoanalytic ideas such as transference. \nI don’t believe that there are risks to this material if people understand it well. One of the main objectives of contemporary psychoanalytic practice is not to injure our patients. One of the main objectives of this course is to help therapists work effectively so that their patients are able to achieve their goals without being retraumatized by their therapy. \nThe limitations are that no one should ever rely on one group of theories in their work. There is nothing in contemporary psychoanalysis that precludes the use of CBT\, DBT\, or any other non-psychoanalytic technique when that technique will be useful to the patient. The entire emphasis of contemporary psychoanalysis—and\, especially\, of intersubjectivity theory—is that each patient and therapist bring his or her entire self into the treatment. This includes individual\, cultural\, and role differences. A major focus of this course is understanding how these differences play a role in the treatment\, and how understanding how best to work with them can enrich the therapeutic process. \n  \n\nBIO: \nJane Rubin\, PhD\, PhD\, PsyD\, received her PhD in philosophy from UC Berkeley and her PhD in clinical psychology from the Wright Institute. She did her psychoanalytic training at the Institute of Contemporary Psychoanalysis in Los Angeles. She is in private practice in Berkeley. \n  \n\nCOST:  \nNon Members:\n$400 early registration\, up to 10 days prior to first session\, $480 after \nCIP Members:\n$320 early registration\, up to 10 days prior to first session\, $400 after \nCEs: 16 CEs for LMFTs & LCSWs and 16 CEs for Psychologists. Certificates issued after completion of the 8 sessions. \nThe Community Institute for Psychotherapy is approved by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education for psychologists.

SUMMARY:Climate Change in the Consultation Room:  Treating Climate Distress and Increasing Pro-Environmental Behavior  - Presented by Barbara Easterlin\, PhD [Class]
DESCRIPTION:**This event is zoom only** \nNARRATIVE \nThis presentation will provide a foundational background about the origins and mental health impacts of climate change\, how to identify clients’ climate distress\, and therapeutic practices that enhance resilience\, adaptation\, and coping. \nThe climate and environmental crisis is the most complex existential threat humanity is facing. According to recent research (2021) by the Yale School of Climate Communications\, 73% of Americans feel that the climate crisis is real and 60% believe it is human caused. In the world of mental health\, we know that internal factors such as emotions\, beliefs\, and attitudes influence behavior\, but behaviors occur within a powerful context of cultural beliefs\, social networks\, social status inequalities\, race\, and income\, as well as government policies and the larger environmental ecosystems within these individual factors exist. \nPsychotherapy of climate distress must occur within these larger systems\, but an individual’s coping skills and action that enhance each person’s resilience are important. Research and psychotherapeutic practices will be presented that help to identify climate distress within the context of a client’s biographical and psychological frame\, and to integrate these knowledge bases. In addition\, the nascent field discussion of ethical responses to the climate crisis from mental health practitioners will be discussed. \n  \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES \n By the end of this course\, participants will be able to: \n\n Describe climate change impacts on mental health including common emotional responses as well as psychological defenses and behaviors that accompany climate crisis awareness.\nDefine the key principles of the emerging field of Climate Psychology and the field’s attention to the inequitable impact of climate change on vulnerable social\, racial\, regional\, and demographic populations.\nDescribe human evolutionary and neuropsychological limitations that inhibit individual and collective action to mitigate the destructive impact of climate change and how these can be surmounted to address the emerging crisis.\nDevelop clinical strategies to improve sense of agency\, emotional regulation\, and resilience and to identify and treat challenging climate change related emotions\, such as anxiety about the future\, existential despair\, grief\, anger\, confusion\, and the amplifying impact of the climate crisis on existing mood and anxiety disorders.\n\n COURSE OUTLINE \n 9:00 -10:00 am; \n\nArriving and Brief Introductions\nIntroduction to Climate Psychology: 5 key points with attention to the impact of climate change on vulnerable populations (social\, racial\, regional & impoverished populations)\nEvolutionary neurobiology and socio-cultural-economic conditions that underlie origins of the current climate emergency\n\n10:00 -10:05 am:  \nBreak \n10:05-11:15 am:   \nMental Health Impacts of the climate crisis and climate events — common emotional responses\, and defenses \n 11:15-11: 20 am:  \nBreak \n11:25 am-12:45 pm: \nVignettes and Clinical psychotherapy skills for addressing climate distress \n12:45-1 pm:  \nQ&A \n  \nCONTENT CURRICULUM \n\nClimate change and the social justice issues surrounding the global ecological and biodiversity loss crisis have been recognized by the American Psychological Association (APA) and the World Health Organization (WHO) as issues that have significant mental health impacts. Our patients bring these issues as well as related existential dilemmas to our consultation rooms\, however\, a very recent study published in the March edition of the journal Ecopsychology showed that fewer than a third of 770 therapists “report feeling well to discuss mental health impacts of climate change with their clients.”\nContent will provide an overview of the field of climate psychology using vignettes and small group discussion of ethical issues that bear on discussing these issues in the consultation room\, as well as social and psychological research that describes how the climate crisis is tied to behavior\, emotion\, and psychological defenses. Skill development is woven throughout the presentation.\nThis course is at the beginner level and appropriate for Mental Health clinicians\, climate communicators\, activists and educators.\nAll material sourced for this presentation will represent current clinical research in the field of climate psychology\, which is frequently survey- and behavior reporting-based. Statistics provided as part of this presentation are derived from peer reviewed journals in climate science\, psychology\, and social psychology.  Assessment instruments for climate distress\, presented for this topic\, have been validated and normed in a variety of countries around the world.\n\nThe limitations of the material being taught include: \n\nClimate psychology is a fairly new discipline; interventions have not yet been tested in large populations;\nThere are a variety of ethical principles and emotional tone that come into play when any topic has a political or controversial base.\nConversations have the potential to become polarized; participants will be reminded that this workshop is for clinical skill development\, not to expose or thresh out their own views on the veracity of climate science or politics.\nThe topic of climate change can be emotionally triggering for some. Participants will be provided a preview of what will be covered in the workshop as well as self-care strategies and methods of contacting the instructor to “sidebar” if necessary.\nA good part of the introduction to climate psychology describes the impact of colonization and marginalization of vulnerable populations. These include BIPOC & LGBTQ groups\, Aging people\, and women.  Some of these same populations who are impacted the worst also have rich traditions of earth care that will be touched on in the presentation.  Clinical work with BIPOC groups especially requires a culturally sensitive knowledge of ways in which they are doubly or triply damaged by climate change — due to systemic failures of social and cultural equity\, these groups are often situated near damaged ecosystems and have been denied access to resources that might mitigate some of this harm.\n\n\nCOST:  \nCIP Members: \n$75 early registration 10 business days prior to seminar; $90 after \nNon-Members:  \n$100 early registration up to 10 business days prior to seminar\, $115 after \nCEs: 4 CEs for LMFTs\, LCSWs\, and Psychologists.

SUMMARY:Healing at the Edge: Conscious Living\, Conscious Dying  - Presented by Dale Borglum\, PhD [2 DAY WORKSHOP] [CO-SPONSORED]
DESCRIPTION:**This event is via zoom only** \n2 DAY SEMINAR: March 23 & 24\, 2024 \nNARRATIVE: \nFor thirty-five years I have been blessed to be in close contact with many people who were approaching death. Almost all of these people were reaching out for healing– healing in relationship to death\, healing in relationship to illness\, in relationship to a wounded heart\, to separation from their own self. My consuming interest\, both personally and professionally has been the healing process. Why do some people experience wholeness as they approach death while others lose themselves in denial\, depression\, distraction? Why is it that some of the most alive and awake Westerners I’ve known have been\, almost without exception\, people near death? Is there some powerful truth about life and about healing that you and I can receive from these few who\, as they went through the process of dying\, deeply realized their own wholeness? \nBringing emotional/spiritual support to someone with a life-threatening illness is a twofold task. First\, help the client realize they are more than that which will die – the finite self – the body and the personality. At the same time\, honor this finite self\, healing it’s woundedness\, it’s identification with separateness. Rumi said\, “Grief is the garden of compassion.” The transmuting separateness of grief into the connectedness of compassion is the heart of the work. Confusion\, anxiety\, and depression\, anger are typical responses arising as the end of a life approaches\, both for the patient and for their family. \nThis presentation will explore possibilities for realizing wholeness at the edge of life where illness\, grief and loss arise. Both psychological and spiritual tools will be used in the investigation of these profound and challenging issues. We will offer participants the opportunity to explore the deeper questions surrounding\, healing and the sacred\, so that each of us can better embody an enlivened sense of being in the world in each moment rather than a sense of isolation and denial. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES:\nUpon completion of this workshop\, participants should be able to: \n\nDescribe the defining characteristics of compassion.\nDistinguish between compassion and pity.\nFully understand the somatic foundation for being able to let go of identification with separateness.\nUnderstand how to transmute the separateness of grief into the connectedness of compassion.\nBe familiar with several contemplative practices that will help a client transmute fear of dying into acceptance.\nSkillfully work with one’s own fear of death as it is resonated by the client’s situation.\nEnable one’s client to use the prognosis of a life-threatening illness as an opportunity to become more present and alive.\n\n  \nCOURSE OUTLINE -TWO DAY WORKSHOP – 15 hrs. \nSchedule for Day One \n8:45 – 9:00 \nRegistration \n9:00 – 10:00 \nOverview of the healing paradigm: motivation\, invocation\, awareness\, grounding\, centering compassion\, empowerment\, wholeness. \n10:00 – 11:00 \nIntroduction of participants as an awareness exercise \n11:00 – 12:00 \nMotivation for healing. \nCultivating awareness of the emotional patterns which cause suffering. \nBecoming present in one’s body as the foundation for opening the heart of compassion. \n12:00 – 12:30 \nGrounding and centering experiential exercises. \n12:30 – 1:30   \nLunch \n1:30 – 3:00    \nCompassion \n\n\n\nDefinition of compassion and discussion of its qualities and benefits\nConnectedness\, spaciousness and warmth\nRelationship between compassion and appropriate boundaries\n How compassion prevents burnout\n\n\n\n3:00 – 4:00 \n“Grief is the garden of compassion.” \n\n\n\nTransforming the separation of grief into the connectedness of compassion\nConscious grief work – We are all grieving.\n\n\n\n4:00 – 5:00    \nGuided compassion meditation \n\n\n\nGroup exercise exploring compassion.\n\n\n\n5:00 – 5:30 \nEmpowerment \n\n\n\nDefinition of empowerment\nHow the spacious mind of compassion leads to empowerment.\nHow empowerment leads to healing\n\n\n\nSchedule for Day Two \n9:00 – 10:00 \nGuided meditation.

We will explore how identification with ego structure and fear of death are intimately connected.\nThe aim of psychological practice traditionally is to create a healthier\, efficiently functioning mind and particularly a healthy ego structure. In the potentially profoundly transformative time at the end of life\, healing and understanding that transcend egoic concern are often more available than any other time in a person’s life. The appreciation of this possibility is of central importance to those supporting clients who might be approaching death.\nThe target audience is clinical social workers\, marriage and family therapists\, psychologists\, and nurses were working with patients confronting a life-threatening illness\, their loved ones\, and those grieving. Instruction summarizes introductory and intermediate foundational concepts which then leads to advanced content for the majority of the workshop.\nThe materials presented during this workshop have been developed and utilized during 40 years of working directly with thousands of dying clients\, their families and their caregivers. As well these materials had been presented during trainings at hundreds of hospitals and hospices throughout North America. The efficacy of this content is limited by the willingness of the client to explore the possibility of deep transformation during a time of great crisis. The effects of opioid analgesic medication and also bodily symptoms that often accompany the end stages of terminal illness both can limit the transformative power of the materials presented. The only risk that has been encountered is that occasionally when a client is consciously working with her fear of death\, long repressed difficult emotions can burst forth in her physically weakened condition requiring great sensitivity on the part of the practitioner.\nDr. Borglum spent years as a group facilitator at San Quentin Penitentiary and as an AIDS/HIV counselor at High General Hospital in Oakland. At both of these facilities there was a wide range of race\, sexual orientation\, and socioeconomic backgrounds represented. When supporting a client who is confronting a life-threatening illness\, conditioned emotional patterns inherent in different backgrounds and orientations often mask the deeper underlying fear of death. Cultivating deeper awareness and compassion through lecture and experiential materials presented during this workshop will enable the participant to distinguish between cultural\, individual\, and role differences on the one hand\, and\, on the other\, inherent fear of death.\n\n  \n\nCOST:  \nTwo Day Event (February 23 and February 24) – 15 CEs\, $290 \nYou may register online by visiting www.livingdying.org\, and clicking on Healing at the Edge: Conscious Living/Conscious Dying. You may also send a check or money order to Living/Dying Project at P.O.

SUMMARY:Why Am I Feeling (or Behaving) this Way? How Working with Trauma Impacts the Clinician   - Presented by Julie Robbins [Class]
DESCRIPTION:NARRATIVE:  \nThis workshop will focus on issues related vicarious and secondary trauma that impact professionals who work with vulnerable populations and populations with histories of child maltreatment\, trauma\, and complex trauma. The class will also address those clinicians who work regularly with clients with intense pain\, grief\, and loss.  Definitions and differences between burn out\, countertransference (how our personal experiences may interfere with our work)\, compassion fatigue\, and secondary trauma will be reviewed.  Signs and symptoms of secondary trauma\, as well as indications that it is interfering in one’s work or personal life\, will be discussed. A self-assessment tool(s) will be given.  Specific triggers that could activate secondary trauma will also be presented. The workshop will conclude with strategies for restorative work\, self-care\, and prevention. There will be an opportunity for clinicians to bring examples of their own experiences and how this is currently (or in the past) being managed during the Q and A time slot. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES:  \nUpon completion of this workshop\, participants should be able to: \n\n\n\nDefine secondary traumatization\nList and explain three characteristics of secondary traumatization\nList and describe three ways to prevent secondary traumatization\nUnderstand how to develop a self-care plan and list two ways that you can use this for your own self-care\n\n\n\n COURSE OUTLINE – 3 HOURS:  \n9:00 – 9:30 am \nJulie Robbins will present an overview of countertransference and secondary traumatization. \n9:30 – 10:00 am \nJulie Robbins will describe the indicators of secondary trauma. \n10:00 – 10:30 am  \n                        Julie Robbins will present on self-assessment tools. \n10:30 – 10:45 am BREAK \n10:45 – 11:15 am \nWe will explore ways to identify countertransference and secondary traumatization. \n11:15 am– 12:00 noon \nJulie Robbins will present on how to work with countertransference and secondary traumatization self-care and restorative work\, and also will discuss prevention. \n CONTENT CURRICULUM:  \n\n\n\nThis class builds on the already existing doctoral program by expanding the participant’s base knowledge of countertransference and trauma by explaining the differences between the two and how not only one’s own trauma\, but exposure to client’s trauma can cause secondary trauma.\nTrauma\, particularly interpersonal abuse and violence\, affects a significant portion of the general population. This class will enhance participants’ knowledge of trauma\, as well as provide some tools to work more effectively with trauma both in and out of sessions.\nThis workshop is applicable to all providers in the field of mental health who are currently (or in the future will be) working directly with treating child and adult survivors of trauma. The concepts are basic enough to be integrated by a new clinician\, as well as to expand an experienced clinician’s knowledge base.  This workshop applies mostly to those who have had some experience working directly with clients with trauma (especially interpersonal/chronic/complex) experiences.\nThe content is not only based on textbooks fairly common to the treatment of trauma and other publications (peer reviewed) directly addressing issues of secondary trauma but based on the instructor’s over 40 years of clinical experience (directly doing long-term treatment of child\, adolescent\, and adult survivors of interpersonal trauma. There is little risk in presenting this material and it may be limited (in sustainability) without each participant following up their individual needs with a clinical supervisor and/or therapist.\nThe material presented can be applied to all clients\, gender\, sexual orientations\, and culture. Each participant will be welcome to ask specific questions regarding a case where they may be having difficulty applying the concepts to a specific culture/religion/sexual orientation\, etc.\n\n\n\n  \n\nCOST:  \nCIP Members: \n$75 early registration 10 business days prior to seminar; $90 after \nNon-Members:  \n$100 early registration up to 10 business days prior to seminar\, $115 after \nCEs: 3 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:From Accommodation to Emancipation: Insights from Contemporary Psychoanalysis on Finding Freedom from Traumatic Attachments  - Presented by Jane Rubin\, PhD\, PhD\, PsyD [Study Group] [8 Sessions]
DESCRIPTION:Eight sessions\, the third Friday of the month:\nOct 20\, Nov 17\, Dec 15\, 2023; Jan 19\, Feb 16\, Mar 15\, Apr 19\, May 17\, 2024 \n  \n\nNARRATIVE: \n\nMost patients come into therapy with hope for relief from their traumas\, and with dread that therapy itself will be traumatizing. Anna Ornstein famously referred to this dread as “the dread to repeat” — patients’ anxiety that their therapists will treat them the same way as the traumatizing figures of their past. \nSelf-psychology and intersubjectivity theory have developed an extensive literature about how therapists can recognize the dread to repeat\, and how we can act in ways that\, over time\, both help patients to understand their trauma and its effect on their lives\, and to feel less potentially traumatized by the therapy process itself. \nIn many essays over the course of his career\, the self-psychologist Bernard Brandchaft identified an equally powerful anxiety that therapists often fail to recognize – what he called “the dread not to repeat.” The dread not to repeat is the overwhelming anxiety that accompanies the loosening of emotional ties to traumatizing figures. It is often responsible for situations in which therapy grinds to a halt\, or even seems to be going backwards\, as patients seem to surrender the gains they’ve made and return to the emotional patterns that brought them into treatment in the first place. \nHelping patients overcome these anxieties\, so they can free themselves from the traumatic attachments that are imprisoning them\, requires recognizing when patients are exhibiting the dread to repeat and when they are exhibiting the dread not to repeat\, and adjusting our interventions accordingly. Failure to do this can result in treatments that can feel stuck\, and that become frustrating to both patient and therapist. \nIn this class\, we’ll study the work of Brandchaft\, along with other practitioners of contemporary self-psychology and intersubjectivity theory\, to understand how to recognize the difference between the dread to repeat and the dread not to repeat\, and to work effectively to help patients free themselves from traumatic attachments. \nTopics will include: 1) the difference between the dread to repeat and the dread not to repeat\, and how to work effectively with each; 2) the importance of tracking patients’ affective shifts from enthusiasm to malaise; 3) pathological accommodation\, and how to recognize and work with it; 4) working with depression; 5) working with obsessional disorders. \nThe seminar will include discussion of readings\, followed by case presentations by the participants. The case presentations are intended to help participants effectively translate the ideas of Brandchaft and other writers from theory to practice. Participants should develop greater facility in recognizing\, and helping patients to find relief from\, traumatic attachments. \n  \n2. LEARNING OBJECTIVES:  \nUpon completion of this workshop\, participants should be able to: \n\nExplain the difference between the dread to repeat\, and the dread not to repeat.\nDescribe three different techniques for working with the dread to repeat versus the dread not to repeat.\nDemonstrate three effective ways of tracking affective shifts from enthusiasm to malaise.\nDefine pathological accommodation and explain how it differs from other forms of attachment.\nExplain the difference between trailing edge and forward edge transferences.\nDemonstrate three ways of working with forward edge versus trailing edge transferences.\nExplain three ways of working with depressive disorders from an intersubjective perspective.\nExplain how to work with obsessional disorders from an intersubjective perspective.\n\n  \n3. COURSE OUTLINE – 3 HOURS:  \n12:30-1:15 pm \nInstructor will provide an in-depth analysis of a core concept in intersubjectivity theory. Each class will focus on one of the following concepts: 1) the difference between the dread to repeat and the dread not to repeat; 2) the different techniques for working with the dread to repeat versus the dread not to repeat; 3) effective ways of tracking affective shifts from enthusiasm to malaise; 4) pathological accommodation\, and explain how it differs from other forms of attachment; 5) trailing edge and forward edge transferences; 6) how to work with forward edge versus trailing edge transferences; 7) working with depressive disorders; 8) working with obsessional disorders. \n1:15-2:30 pm \nA participant will present a case and the class will discuss the case with the aim of integrating the theoretical concepts discussed in the first part of the class with actual clinical material. \n  \n4. CONTENT CURRICULUM \n\nStudents in doctoral programs in psychology are usually introduced to basic psychoanalytic and psychodynamic concepts. They rarely receive any exposure to contemporary psychoanalysis and to the many ideas about the treatment process it proposes. This course builds upon students’ doctoral level familiarity with basic psychoanalytic concepts to introduce them to more contemporary ways of thinking and practicing.\nMany clinical psychologists struggle with how to successfully work with patients who seem to regress at a certain point in their therapy. They often come to the conclusion that the therapy has been a failure\, and they blame themselves for this. This content is specifically designed to give therapists more conceptual tools\, and practice in applying them\, so they can recognize when pathological accommodation is keeping patients from making further progress in therapy.\nThe content for this course is intermediate. It assumes that participants have had some postgraduate clinical experience\, and that they have a basic familiarity with psychoanalytic ideas such as transference.\nI don’t believe that there are risks to this material if people understand it well. One of the main objectives of contemporary psychoanalytic practice is not to injure our patients. One of the main objectives of this course is to help therapists work effectively so that their patients are able to achieve their goals without being retraumatized by their therapy. The limitations are that no one should ever rely on one group of theories in their work. There is nothing in contemporary psychoanalysis that precludes the use of CBT\, DBT\, or any other non-psychoanalytic technique when that technique will be useful to the patient.\nThe entire emphasis of contemporary psychoanalysis—and\, especially\, of self-psychology\, intersubjectivity theory\, and specificity theory—is that each patient and therapist brings his or her entire self into the treatment. This includes individual\, cultural\, and role differences. A major focus of this course is understanding how these differences play a role in the treatment\, and how understanding how best to work with them can enrich the therapeutic process.\n\n  \n\nCOST:  \nCIP Members:\n$260 early registration up to 10 weekdays prior to first session\, $280 after \nNon-Members:\n$340 early registration up to 10 weekdays prior to first session\, $360 after \nCEs: 16 CEs for LMFTs & LCSWs and 16 CEs for Psychologists. Certificates issued after completion of 8 sessions. \nCommunity Institute for Psychotherapy is approved by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education for psychologists. Community Institute for Psychotherapy maintains responsibility for this program and its content. \nCancellations must be received in writing by email: Full refund if canceled 48 hours prior to the event; $25 cancellation fee if canceled with less than 48 hours’ notice. \nAccommodation for Special Needs: Accommodations will be made wherever possible to accommodate those with disabilities.  Please let us know of any disabilities upon registration\, to ensure that proper accommodations are put in place prior to workshop/training. \nGrievance Procedure: CIP will respond to complaints in a reasonable\, ethical and timely manner\, when submitted by program attendees in writing to the Chair of CIP’s Professional Development Committee. \nAnti-Discrimination Policy: CIP shall not discriminate against any individual or group with respect to any service\, program or activity based on gender\, race\, creed\, national origin\, sexual orientation\, religion\, age or other prohibited basis.

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

CRITERION 1.1 to 1.3: \nThis program meets Criterion 1.2\, as it reflects ethical\, professional\, or regulatory developments relevant to the discipline of psychology. \n  \n6. COURSE CURRICULUM \n1) Describe how your program content will build upon the foundation of a completed doctoral program in psychology. \nThis program offers psychologists and other mental health clinicians a greater understanding of Interventional Psychiatry. This serves psychologists to more effectively collaborate with allied professionals\, and to better serve the needs of clients with difficult-to-treat mental conditions through knowledge of and access to a greater range of treatment interventions. \n2)  Describe how your content is specifically relevant to psychological practice\, education\, or science. \nThe field of Psychiatry continues to develop and reveal novel interventions that research indicates can have a significant impact on the reduction of psychological suffering. The ability of mental health practitioners to provide the highest quality of psychological services is enhanced by understanding the history\, mechanism of action\, benefit\, risk\, and means to refer patients to treatments offered by Interventional Psychiatry. \n3)  Describe your target audience and the instructional level of your content (introductory\, intermediate\, or advanced) \nThis advanced program is targeted to providers of psychological services in private practice or community mental health; to mental health professionals involved in the education\, training\, or supervision of psychological trainees; or leaders of mental health agencies that may provide referrals and recommendations in best practices in care for specific psychiatric conditions. \n4)  Describe the accuracy\, utility\, and the empirical basis of the materials that you will present. What are the limitations of the content being taught and their most common risks? \nThis program will present specific and general guidelines for assessing and referring patients to Interventional Psychiatry\, based on outcome research indicating that these treatments may offer more effective remission of symptoms than traditional psychopharmacologic interventions. The empirical bases of these findings were on hold for many years\, when these treatments were misunderstood or politicized. A resumption of research has led to a wider acceptance of\, and interest in\, novel approaches to psychological suffering and wellness. While many aspects of Interventional Psychiatry are still under investigation\, these treatments rely on policies\, procedures\, and general ethical and clinical guidelines published by the APA. Limitations include a) providing information about all possible benefits and potential risks is beyond the scope of this program\, b) treatment for individual patients requires professional assessment of that individual’s psychiatric and medical appropriateness\, c) treatment protocols are still in development\, and may include titration of dosing or a series of treatments to achieve the best remission of symptoms. \n5) Describe how your content reflects the appreciation of a diverse populations and how you intend to acknowledge and respect the richness of cultural\, individual and role differences. \nMental health practitioners serve a wide range of diverse clients. Therefore\, the content of this program will specifically address how providers take client diversity into consideration when considering Interventional Psychiatry treatments\, their perceived benefits\, and patient’s trepidation based on historical or cultural experiences of being subjected to novel medical treatment in the service of research. Sensitivity towards and accommodations for multiple areas of diversity will be addressed in this program. \n  \n\nCOST:  \nCIP Members: \n$75 early registration 10 business days prior to seminar; $90 after \nNon-Members:  \n$100 early registration up to 10 business days prior to seminar\, $115 after \nCEs: 3 CEs for LMFTs\, LCSWs\, and Psychologists. Participants must attend the full live session and complete the evaluation at the end to receive a CE completion certificate. \nCommunity Institute for Psychotherapy is approved by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education for psychologists.

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

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

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

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

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

SUMMARY: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: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:When Self-Hate is Self-Protection: Understanding Eating Disorders– Lisa Bograd\, MA\, MFT [CLASS] [CANCELED]
DESCRIPTION:This class has been canceled. It has been rescheduled to October 24\, 2020 at 9AM.  \nNarrative: Eating disorders are very complex disorders that can be very difficult for clinicians to treat both because of the life threatening nature of these disorders as well as the tendency of those afflicted with them to cling desperately to them despite the grave risk they pose to their physical health and emotional wellbeing. But if we really understand what is at stake for these patients in giving up their disorder\, if we can appreciate the profound way in which these afflictions have protected our patients from the pain of abuse\, neglect\, and from myriad parental failures and privations\, we may have a much better chance of helping to loosen their grip. \nIn my class we will delve into some of the writings of Freud\, particularly his paper\, “On Mourning and Melancholia\,” and we also explore some of the seminal contributions of Melanie Klein and Heinz Kohut as we seek to understand the deeper underpinnings of eating disorder symptomology. I will also incorporate examples from my own case material and do a mock session to elucidate some of the concepts I will be exploring as a means to give clinicians a better understanding of how to work psychodynamically with eating disorder sufferers\, and\, in so doing\, to begin to engage in the kind of work that can be far more rewarding and can lead to deep and lasting change. Lastly\, I will discuss eating disorders against the backdrop of race\, gender\, and sexual orientation with a focus on how eating disorders affect different minority groups. \nLisa Bograd\, MA\, MFT\, has been working with people with eating disorders and their partners and parents for close two decades. She has trained for 4 years with the San Francisco Psychoanalytic Institute in their East Bay Year Long programs and for 3 years with the Northern California chapter of the Institute for Contemporary Psychanalysis. Lisa gives lectures to professionals and to interns and trainees on eating disorder treatment and assessment\, and she runs workshops for parents and for people with eating disorders and their loved ones. She has a private practice in San Francisco and Berkeley where she specializes in working with adults\, preteens and teens with eating disorders\, addictions\, depression and anxiety and codependency. \n\nCOST:  \nCIP Member:   \n$75 early registration\, up to 10 days prior to class\, $90 after \nNon-Members:\n \n$100 early registration\, up to 10 days prior to class\, $110 after \nCEs: 4 CEs for LMFT & LCSWs and 4 CEs for Psychologists \nCommunity Institute for Psychotherapy is approved by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education for psychologists.

SUMMARY:The Rough Patch in Marriage: Working with Couples Psychoanalytically – Daphne de Marneffe\, PhD [SEMINAR] [CANCELED]
DESCRIPTION:This class has been canceled. It has been rescheduled to Saturday\, October 3\, 2020. \nNarrative: 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:Lust\, Rage\, Chaos and Love: Erotic Transference in Psychotherapy– Felicia Matto-Shepard\, LMFT [CLASS] [CANCELED]
DESCRIPTION:This class has been canceled. It has been rescheduled to June 20\, 2020. \nNarrative: While all psychotherapists are trained to understand that “therapy never includes sex\,” few feel adequately train in how to navigate sexual content that might emerge in the course of treatment.  And when the sexual content is directed toward the therapist\, many feel unprepared to respond. Merely setting boundaries with the patient without exploring the meaning of the erotic transference risks the loss of a vital archetypal energy that could be critical to the patient’s development.  At the same time\, eros has the potential to create chaos and destruction.  When we don’t address eros in the room\, it is relegated to the shadow of the unconscious where it can cause more harm. \nThis workshop will provide a framework for understanding the archetypal nature of erotic transference and its potential to function as a defense or as a healing force.  Based in Jungian psychology\, the presentation will include a theoretical framework of mythology and archetype\, case examples of both the healing and destructive nature of eros\, and experiential exercises to apply the material.  We will consider variations of gender and sexual orientation\, lust and rage as defenses against connection and the place of love in psychotherapy. \nFelicia Matto-Shepard\, MFT is a certified Jungian Analyst in private practice in Petaluma.  She works at the intersection of psychology\, embodiment and imagination.  She has a long time interest in sexuality\, power and gender.  In addition to psychotherapy\, Felicia teaches classes in active imagination through process art.  Felicia is an Analyst Member of the CG Jung Institute of San Francisco. \n\nCOST:  \nCIP Member:   \n$75 early registration\, up to 10 days prior to class\, $90 after \nNon-Members:\n \n$100 early registration\, up to 10 days prior to class\, $110 after \nCEs: 4 CEs for LMFT & LCSWs and 4 CEs for Psychologists \nCommunity Institute for Psychotherapy is approved by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education for psychologists.

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.
