Symposium Description and Objectives
This is a special 2 day 8 hour workshop developed to meet the continuing education needs of psychologists and other mental health professionals, providing 6 hours of ethics training and the choice of 2 hours of either addiction, cultural issues, or supervision.
Participants will: (1) comprehend core content material of each session and (2) apply the learning to clinical situations.
Monday 8 am-12:15 pm
Drs. Carroll and Derse will review major ethical issues in psychological practice. Focus will start with ethical principles, methods for resolution of ethical dilemmas and creating an ethical culture in a health care organization, and then will move to the special roles of the psychologist, professional limitations, and relationships with health care professionals.
Tuesday 8 am-10:00 am
Drs. Carroll and Derse will cover additional boundary issues and duty to warn/protect cases such as Tarasoff. The final 2-hour supervision with Dr. Carroll will include ethical dilemmas in supervision and case discussion format.
10:15 am-12:15 pm Choice of One Session
The addiction/AODA session (2 hours) with Dr. Jacobson will address issues of diagnosis and treatment of the major chemical dependencies including licit, illicit, and prescribed medications. Motivational interviewing, harm-reduction, relapse prevention, stages-of-change, and other current clinical interests will be addressed. Didactics will be brief, interactive audience participation will be encouraged, and case discussions will be promoted.
The seminar on Cultural Norms and Mental Health Services lead by Dr. Brodwin will teach the cultural formulation of psychiatric distress and apply it to several in-depth case studies of Native American and Asian immigrant patients, among others.

He has received several awards from the American Psychological Association for his contributions to research in ADHD, to clinical practice, and for the dissemination of science. He resides in Charleston, SC.
Symposium Description and Objectives
ADHD is one of the most common childhood behavioral disorders, affecting up to 5 to 7 percent of the school-age population and accounting for the largest proportion of children referred to mental health programs in this country. Clinicians are becoming increasingly aware that ADHD in childhood does not disappear over development and that many individuals with the disorder in childhood will continue to manifest the disorder into adulthood. The disorder will persist into adolescence in up to 80 percent of the childhood cases, and into adulthood in 50-65 percent of these cases. Approximately 5% of adults will have the disorder. It is imperative that mental health, medical, and educational professionals have as much up-to-date knowledge of this disorder and its treatment as possible.
This 5-day presentation will provide detailed, current information on the nature of ADHD in children, teens, and adults. Current information on life course risks, comorbid disorders, and etiologies of the disorder will be presented. A comprehensive theory of ADHD as a disorder of self-regulation and executive functioning will be discussed that provides a much more enriching, thorough, and dignifying view of the disorder than does the current clinical conceptualization of ADHD as an attention deficit. This view also has a number of important implications for the treatment of ADHD. Dr. Barkley will discuss these exciting implications and the most effective treatment strategies for ADHD across the lifespan.
At the end of this seminar, participants will:
(1) Recognize the primary characteristics of ADHD as it presents in both children, adolescents, and adults that will dispel many clinical myths about the disorder.
(2) Appreciate the life course risks, comorbid disorders, and etiologies of ADHD.
(3) Utilize a comprehensive theoretical framework from which to understand ADHD as a developmental disorder of self-regulation, providing tremendous insight into the nature of the disorder and treatment planning.
(4) Discuss diagnostic criteria and necessary adjustments for certain ages and special populations.
(5) Practice methods for the assessment of ADHD.
(6) Familiarize themselves with management methods for ADHD children and teens in the home.
(7) Know how to provide classroom and college accommodations for ADHD as well as adults with ADHD.
(8) Articulate the most useful medications for ADHD.

He is the author/editor of 6 books, most recently: Adolescent Suicide: Assessment and Intervention (2006), Washington, DC: American Psychological Association, and more than 100 peer-reviewed articles in Suicidology. He is internationally renowned as a clinical teacher and forensic expert in Suicidology.
Symposium Description and Objectives
The duty to care for potentially suicidal patients begins when they first walk into a clinician's office. No new patient can be effectively pre-screened for suicidality and all patients have the potential to become suicidal during the course of treatment. The standard of care requires clinicians to be reasonable and prudent in gathering essential data from the patient, formulating a judgment of level of risk, building a treatment plan that is designed to reduce that risk, and effectively monitoring the implementation of that treatment plan. This workshop will train participants toward the skills of this most anxiety-provoking of clinical encounters, with frequent use of case illustrations and applications.
Participants will:
(1) Understand suicide, suicidal behaviors, and the potential for iatrogenesis.
(2) Learn to collect data for risk assessment.
(3) Practice risk formulation and treatment planning.
(4) Utilize treatment implementation and case management.
(5) Recognize the standard of care and risk management.
Monday
Beginning with an interactive case discussion, we will explore participants' conceptual understandings, beliefs, and attitudes toward working with patients at risk for suicide and examine how to take these informed approaches to assess and manage risk. Theoretical orientations and professional experience also will be discussed as a context to understanding the clinical paradigm established with patients at risk and common emotional reactions provoked by these patients. Clinical skill-sets needed to effectively assess and treat these patients will be described.
Tuesday
A competently accomplished assessment of suicide risk entails having a grasp on research-based perpetuating, predisposing, and precipitating risk factors; and principles and techniques for gathering this data, especially from patients who might not be forthcoming in giving it. Today's session will focus on guidelines for the when and how of risk assessment and tools to elicit needed information.
Wednesday
Formulating a judgment of level of risk and translating that judgment into treatment planning, e.g. the need for and judged value of hospitalization, has long been an art and largely based on intuition. Models for formulating risk, based on logic and empirical data, are now available and will be the focus of today's session. These will be presented conceptually and illustrated with a number of case examples with opportunities to derive consensus or understand alternative perspectives. Cases from participants' own practices will also be considered for second opinions.
Thursday
Principles and methods of crisis management relative to long-term care, the relative value of No Suicide Contracts versus Commitment to Treatment statements, and Policies and Procedures for the patient at risk for suicide will be discussed. We will return to the issue of counter-transference and explore methods to better deal with patient generated provoking behaviors. Treatment strategies, particularly those abstracted from evaluated treatment approaches (RCTs), will be described and practiced.
Friday
Framed by an understanding of negligence as described by tort law, today we will explore the standard of care and have opportunities to serve as expert witnesses for both the plaintiff and the defense in several actual cases where breaches to standards of care have been alleged. Strategies to minimize risk of being successfully sued (an occupational hazard) in the event of a patient's death will be described, particularly with reference to appropriate and patient-centered contemporaneous case documentation guidelines.

Learning Skills in Evidence-Based Medicine
Grace Thrall, MD, is Director of Residency Education in the Duke University Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences and Assistant Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at Duke University School of Medicine. She has won teaching awards at Duke, the University of Connecticut, and New Jersey Medical School. Passionate about Evidence-Based Medicine and the power of small group learning, Dr. Thrall has taught at McMaster's annual Evidence-Based Clinical Practice workshop and the annual Duke Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM) Workshop. She uses a method of teaching that makes learning critical appraisal skills both manageable and fun to the novice by breaking complex ideas down into simple steps.
Symposium Description and Objectives
This session is an intensive, interactive group learning experience designed to develop the knowledge and skills required to practice evidence-based psychiatric care for those who are relatively new to Evidence-Based Medicine and may not have a research background or recent familiarity with statistics or epidemiology.
Using psychiatric case material, participants will practice all phases of the EBM cycle as a group by asking clinical questions, acquiring the best evidence via Medline search, appraising a scientific article, applying their findings to the patient, and assessing their performance in the process. Participants will practice teaching one another basic EBM concepts, such as Number-Needed-to-Treat, as a way to reinforce their new learning.
No prior experience or skills in evidence-based clinical practice are required for this session. For reference, participants should bring a copy of the book, "Users' Guides to the Medical Literature: A Manual for Evidence-Based Clinical Practice" by Gordon H. Guyatt and Drummond Rennie (about $49 by AMA Press, 2001) and an inexpensive calculator. A laptop computer with WiFi may augment the first day's session but is not required.
Participants will:
(1) Identify the four components of a well-formed clinical question.
(2) Know where to find pre-appraised evidence and high quality systematic reviews.
(3) Demonstrate basic information searching skills in Medline.
(4) Use the six "FRISBE" criteria to perform a rapid critical appraisal of a therapy article. Calculate some common measures of effect from an article's results and state these in plain English.
(5) State the "bottom line" summary or verbal study synopsis of the best evidence.
(6) Understand principles of applying your conclusions to the patient.
(7) Complete a self-assessment of your EBM skills and set goals for the Fall.

Since his retirement, Mr. Purtell has managed an investigation consulting agency, Madison Research Associates, providing training, investigations, and consulting to Government Joint Terrorism Taskforces and the private sector and is a consultant to the History Channel on International Kidnapping and Terrorism.
Symposium Description and Objectives
Criminal profiling is the use of behavioral psychology by criminal investigators to identify personality traits of offenders as evidenced by their behavior and decision making at a crime scene. These tools are then used to identify suspects with the identified behavioral traits from the field of suspects and to target them for additional investigation. This presentation will discuss the history and development of Criminal Profiling and its evolution as a tool by law enforcement. Case studies of actual crimes will be discussed as well as its use in other fields of investigation. These include: cults, terrorism, school violence, extortion and sexual assault.
Graphic illustrations and discussions will be presented in this class.
Participants will:
(1) Become cognizant of the history of profiling.
(2) Understand the application of the technique.
(3) Appreciate the limitations of profiling.

Symposium Description and Objectives
A growing chorus of theorists argue that humor can be very useful in psychotherapy. However, much of the literature on this topic consists of anecdotes and caveats rather than specific advice on how to apply humor clinically. Drawing on cognitive-behavioral and constructivist theories, this seminar offers a simple model for the psychotherapeutic application of humor: humor restructuring. In contrast to orthodox cognitive-behavioral technique, which challenges maladaptive ideas through evidence, humor restructuring encourages clients to recognize these ideas' inherent absurdity. The model proposes that a variety of classical humor methods can be used to modify clients' maladaptive beliefs, once these beliefs have been effectively externalized via empathic dialog.
Consistent with Franzini's argument that "the success of therapeutic humor relies heavily on spontaneity", a substantial part of this workshop will be devoted to exploring improvisational methods pioneered at Chicago's Second City. Participants will learn about major humor techniques (e.g., exaggeration, irony) and apply them to common maladaptive ideas.
Participants will:
(1) Comprehend the theory and model for applying humor to therapy.
(2) Review the empirical evidence.
(3) Rehearse techniques in exercises and clinical role playing.
Monday
Overview of the model/ Pros and cons of therapeutic humor/ Empirical evidence/ Warm-up exercises
Tuesday
Humor theory/ Literary trope theory and psychotherapy/ Theatre games to promote spontaneity
Wednesday
Exaggeration and irony/ Application to maladaptive ideas
Thursday
Character transformation and parody/ Application to maladaptive ideas

Brief Psychotherapy:
The Great Instrument of Orientation
James Gustafson, MD is Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Wisconsin and Chief of the Brief Psychotherapy Clinic. He is the author of nine published books on psychotherapy, the most recent being Very Brief Psychotherapy (Routledge, 2005). His website (http://psychiatry.wisc.edu/gustafson) will allow you to click on to chapters and essays from the entire range of his work. The title of his workshop is taken from the title of his tenth book in progress.
Symposium Description and Objectives
There is a beautiful convergence of current neuroscience of the brain as an instrument of orientation, the dream as the night version of the same kind of thinking, and the inner language of English as the same comparison between the motion from within and its positioning from without. We will explore this convergence for its practical import in brief psychotherapy on three cases presented on DVD each day.
Participants will:
(1) Recognize the important role of this convergence.
(2) Appreciate orientation as an instrument.
(3) Practice the use of this instrument.
Monday
The first power of the instrument is the access to the interior world which is generally lost in our behavioral medicine. Freud and Jung opened it up beautifully in their nightly departure from the train station of dreams, but we also need to find the departure in the present moment or the present ten minutes. We do not have as much time as the traditional analysis using free association five hours a week. Our subject will be how to get there in a single detail, a fractal, a similar pattern or rhythm in the larger daily scale of space and time.
Tuesday
The second power of the instrument is to read the motion of the interior thrust into the exterior field. This subject was almost totally ignored by psychoanalysts until Sullivan, with his concept of selective inattention and its resultant amazement at the mismatch between the interior fantasy and the exterior reality. Sullivan did not pursue the difficulties of the external reality, which is the speeded up group rhythm into which we must all fit our own slower individual rhythms.
Wednesday
The third power of the instrument is access to what Winnicott called transitional space. This is attained by keeping the interior pulse equal in strength to the exterior pulse or equipoise. This brings balance in the body. It can open up access to a single detail that is luminous on every scale of space and time. It can affect not only the individual life of a particular patient, but also humanity. It yields tremendous depth, called the hiatus, out of which all renewal, or rebirth, or redemption flows.
Thursday
Access to the transitional space, and equipoise, and hiatus, quite thrilling as it is, has to be protected by an acute sense of the scale in which it is to be counted on -- our fourth power of the instrument. In general, a fundamental change in the patient's exchange with the world has to begin in the smallest scale of space. It can be shielded there from the world, until it is ready for larger scales of space.
Friday
Access to transitional space also has to be protected by an acute sense of the scale of time in which it is to be counted on -- our fifth power of the instrument. In general, the smallest scale of time is the place that a new exchange with the world can be begun without jeopardy.
Participants will be able to wield these five powers in the crucial and precise details of their own cases.

Lodging in July and August is in great demand; it is absolutely crucial that you make reservations early. A block of suites has been set aside for conference participants at the headquarters resort, the Landmark Resort.

Facilities include: restaurant and lounge, 11 meeting and function rooms, indoor and outdoor pools, 5 tennis courts, and fitness and game rooms.
