The Door County Summer Institute 2010
Greetings!
Welcome to the twenty-fourth Annual Door County Summer Institute. I believe the format of the Door County Summer Institute is conducive to learning. Our seminars will address gaps in clinical knowledge and skills. In addition to didactic presentations, our workshops incorporate clinical case presentations and discussions. All provide the opportunity to interact with the instructor, promoting an active learning experience. The multi-day format also permits the consolidation of learning. Finally, the location of Door County facilitates the restoration of the soul.
The seminars are geared to mental health and health professionals. We have a high rate of returning learners, including many who have been with us 15-20 times. Ask someone who has been here. I hope you can join us. Bring your family with you!

Session I July 19-23, 2010
Donald Meichenbaum, PhD
Substance Abuse and Co-Morbid Psychiatric Disorders: An Integrative Treatment Approach
Donald Meichenbaum, PhD, is Distinguished Professor Emeritus, University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada and Research Director of the Melissa Institute for Violence Prevention, Miami (see www.melissainstitute.org). He is one of the founders of Cognitive Behavior Therapy, and in a survey of North American clinicians, Dr. Meichenbaum was voted “one of the ten most influential psychotherapists of the century.”
His numerous publications include Clinical Handbook on Treating Adults with PTSD and Treating Individuals with Anger Control Problems and Aggressive Behavior. His latest project is with the military on ways to bolster resiliency in soldiers and their family members using Internet and i-Pod technology (see www.warfighterdiaries.com).
Symposium Description and Objectives
Substance Abuse Disorders (SUDs) are prevalent among individuals with psychiatric disorders, ranging from 20% to 70% but are often under-identified and under-treated. Similarly, psychiatric disorders are not adequately addressed in substance abuse treatment centers. This contributes to poorer treatment outcomes.
In this advanced workshop, specific psychotherapeutic skills will be discussed, modeled, and practiced for the integrative treatment of patients with co-morbid SUDs and internalizing problems (depression, anxiety, suicidality, PTSD) and externalizing problems (aggression, intimate partner violence, borderline personality disorder, and complex PTSD).
Attendees will self-evaluate their knowledge and level of expertise and use an integrative, phase-oriented treatment approach with dually diagnosed patients and with returning veterans, individuals who are in residential programs, and with unmotivated, mandated, treatment-resistant clients.
Participants will:
(1) Employ a case conceptualization model that informs assessment and treatment decision-making
(2) Address issues of treatment non-adherence and patient noncompliance
(3) Apply evidence-based interventions in an integrative fashion with clients with co-morbid disorders
Monday Brief review of the concept, incidence, impact, and challenges of working with clients with co-morbid disorders; “state of the art" interventions; case conceptualization model; examples of successful integrative treatment programs; self-assessment
Tuesday Implement the core tasks/ skills; develop, nurture, and assess therapeutic alliance in a gender and culturally sensitive fashion; assessment and psychoeducation; intra- and interpersonal skills, emotion regulation, and generalization guidelines; involving significant others and spirituality Wednesday Interpretive core psychotherapeutic skills with co-morbid disorders of SUDs and internalizing clinical problems (depression, anxiety, suicidality, PTSD); risk assessments; individual and group treatment
Thursday Integrative core psychotherapeutic skills with co-morbid disorders of SUDs, complex PTSD, and borderline personality disorder; neuroscience and resilience research
Friday Gender sensitive application of the core psychotherapeutic skills with clients with co-morbid SUDs and externalizing problems (aggression, intimate partner violence); risk assessments and the legal system; relapse prevention strategies
Session II

Symposium Description and Objectives This symposium addresses interpersonal skills that impact the effectiveness of managers, administrators, coaches, and consultants in organizations. Organizations today experience greater turbulence, uncertainty, and change than ever before. In such settings, where the availability of human resources, budgets, and time is often shrinking, we typically see organizational and individual conflict and stress escalate, resistance to change grow, and our own management and leadership skills challenged.
Drawing from a variety of well-referenced and document resources, we will use interactive case discussions, assessments, and checklists of tools for effectively developing interpersonal skills. Actual examples and applications to workplace situations will be emphasized.
Participants will:
(1) Recognize strategies to improve personal effectiveness
(2) Develop improved communication skills
(3) Identify and address obstacles to change
Monday Increasing your influence; specific behaviors and approaches that can increase your interpersonal effectiveness in any position in the workplace
Tuesday Communicating more effectively; practicing principles of supportive communication, providing feedback, and developing effective listening skills
Wednesday Developing better delegation skills; what can and should be delegated (and what not to), to whom it should be delegated, and how to delegate more effectively
Thursday Managing stress and reducing conflict; ways that stress can be managed and conflict reduced for ourselves and those around us
Friday Overcoming obstacles to change; specific obstacles to change in participants’ workplaces; tools and framework for addressing them and driving successful change efforts
Session III
July 19-20, 2010
Special 2-Day Session
J. Stuart Ablon, PhD
Treating Explosive Kids: The Collaborative Problem Solving Approach
J. Stuart Ablon, PhD, is the Director of Think:Kids in the Department of Psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital. He is also Associate Clinical Professor of Psychology in the Department of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. Dr. Ablon received his doctorate in clinical psychology from the University of California at Berkeley and completed his predoctoral and postdoctoral training at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School. Dr. Ablon co-founded the Center for Collaborative Problem Solving and co-authored with Dr. Ross Greene the widely acclaimed book Treating Explosive Kids: The Collaborative Problem Solving Approach. He is the author of numerous articles, chapters, and scientific papers on the process and outcome of psychosocial interventions.
Symposium Description and Objectives
Explosive/noncompliant children and adolescents exhibit intense temper outbursts, oppositionality, and verbal and physical aggression. These behaviors have extremely adverse effects on family life and functioning at school and in therapeutic settings. Many such children may also be diagnosed with various psychiatric disorders. Conventional reward and punishment approaches to treatment have been useful for such children and adolescents. However, these approaches have also been found to be ineffective for a substantial percentage of such youth.
Dr. Ablon provides an alternative conceptualization of the difficulties of these children and adolescents; namely, that their difficulties are a byproduct of lacking cognitive skills in the domains of flexibility/adaptability, frustration tolerance, and problem-solving. Based on this conceptualization, he provides an overview of a model of treatment articulated in Treating Explosive Kids. This innovative, evidenced based model helps adults teach children the cognitive skills they lack while reducing the frequency and intensity of explosive/noncompliant episodes in diverse settings, including families, special and regular education classrooms, and therapeutic and juvenile detention facilities. The approach is currently being implemented in thousands of families and dozens of schools and other systems.
Participants will:
(1) Understand why conventional reward and punishment procedures may not be effective for many explosive/noncompliant children and adolescents
(2) Comprehend the basic underpinnings of this evidence based approach
(3) Learn how to effectively implement “Plan B” to reduce the frequency and intensity of explosive outbursts and train lacking cognitive skills while maintaining adults as authority figures
Monday Philosophy: Children do well if they can; your explanation guides your intervention; limitations of conventional motivational approaches; pathways to explosive/noncompliant behavior; identifying cognitive skill deficits and triggers
Tuesday Three options for responding to problems and unmet expectations; specifics of plan B; cognitive skills training; implementation in systems; research on effectiveness
Session IV

Rena Kay, MD, is Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at Wright State University and Training and Supervising Psychoanalyst, Cincinnati Psychoanalytic Institute.
Symposium Description and Objectives
There is a common misperception that psychoanalytic or psychodynamic psychotherapy lacks empirical support. Moreover, many clinicians are unaware of the exciting evidence based developments in the psychodynamic treatments of patients with anxiety, mood, and personality disorders. This symposium will elucidate the psychobiological basis for why dynamic therapy works. The neurobiological basis of psychotherapy and the contributions of attachment theory will be explored. A mini 2-day course on how to conduct brief dynamic psychotherapy will be presented in conjunction with the audio-visual tapes of treatment. Ample opportunity at each step will be provided for discussion of interview, formulation, and interpretative techniques. There will be additional case presentations with the opportunity for participants to present questions about their own clinical work. Background materials on the basics of psychodynamic theory and treatment as well is its efficacy of psychodynamic psychotherapy will be provided.
Participants will:
(1) Comprehend the neurobiological evidence for psychotherapeutic interventions and understand the different types of memory and their implications for clinical practice
(2) Elucidate the core concepts of attachment and its developmental significance and appreciate the role of disorganized attachment and psychopathology throughout the life cycle
(3) Understand the challenges and rewards of conducting brief dynamic psychotherapy utilizing the approach of James Mann’s Time-Limited Psychotherapy
(4) Appreciate the usefulness of a psychodynamic approach in the treatment of disorders across the psychopathological continuum
(5) Recognize the increasing frequency of psychiatric disorders among college students and understand the reasons for new challenges to providing college mental healthcare
Monday Recent advances in the neurobiological basis of psychotherapy; attachment and its disorders: Implications for psychotherapy

Symposium Description and Objectives
Research on the benefits of mindfulness has grown exponentially in recent years. Mindfulness has been linked with positive mood, relationship satisfaction, lowered emotional disturbance in clinical populations, enhanced immune functioning, and even superior gambling performance. Although definitions of mindfulness vary, most involve an intentional, nonjudgmental awareness of the present. Firmly rooted in Buddhist philosophy, mindfulness is often taught through relatively passive methods such as sitting meditation or basic sensory exercises.
The purpose of this workshop is to explore a more active method of engaging mindfulness via behavioral improvisation. Like more traditional mindfulness methods, behavioral improvisation eschews conceptual thinking in favor of a present-centered, acceptance-oriented frame of consciousness. However, it is distinct in being more dynamic, relational, absorbing, and playful. Drawing on their work with Paul Sills, the co-leaders will guide participants through simple improvisational exercises in a safe, supportive atmosphere. Participants will have the opportunity to investigate how these methods, used in the training of famed comedians, can help form fuller connections with the present. Following an initial overview of empirical literature, the bulk of the week will be devoted to exploring and discussing how these highly entertaining exercises reveal the power in James Baldwin’s observation that “the time is always now.”
Participants will:
(1) Comprehend the evidence for mindfulness behavioral interventions
(2) Practice exercises to consolidate new skills
(3) Initiate self reflection
Monday Introduction; mindfulness: Definitions and theory; historical context; research evidence linking mindfulness to therapeutic benefits
Tuesday Attention I; deautomatization; improvisation I
Wednesday Attention II; improvisation II
Thursday Attention III; improvisation III Friday Summary and conclusions; wrap-up exercises

Symposium Description and Objectives
All of us sometimes get stuck. Certain clients or patients hook us; some don’t change despite our best efforts; some are angry and resistant to our usually successful interventions. These clients include: Ambivalent clients (mixed in their efforts or motivations; wrestling with inner conflicts, want to change and don’t want to change or afraid to change) Resistant clients (who don’t do what you have asked or suggested to make change happen) Demanding clients (who ask more of you than it would be appropriate to give or express dissatisfaction with your efforts, no matter how great) Angry clients (who blame you or regularly criticize you) Stuck clients (sincere in their efforts but no results) Self-harming clients (who hurt themselves or threaten to during treatment)
This workshop offers over twenty innovative ways of getting unstuck, decreasing resistance, and increasing positive results in your work. In addition, we’ll cover how to keep yourself alive in your work in the face of these challenges and burnout. Bill makes learning fun, using humor and multi-media elements like movie clips, poetry and music, and always packs his presentations with content.
