Course Description

It has long been recognized that the practice of physical and mental health care involves adaptation to unexpected challenges. Recently a new movement spearheaded at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine has begun using improvisational acting exercises to teach physicians, psychotherapists, nurses, and pharmacists the ability to respond flexibly in the face of change. Medical improvisation has shown promise in promoting a wide variety of additional communication skills, including empathy, mindfulness, affirmation, collaboration, and authenticity. While the effects of practicing medical improv can often be humorous, participants do not need to be “funny” to do it. The leaders of this largely experiential workshop will draw on their close collaboration with Paul Sills, founding director of Chicago’s Second City, who used improvisation to train renowned actors such as Alan Arkin and Alan Alda. After an overview of current research and theory in medical improvisation, the bulk of the week will be devoted to engaging in and discussing a series of simple and entertaining improv exercises in a safe, highly supportive atmosphere. No previous experience with improvisation is required.

Learning Objectives

Participants who engage in this education intervention will be able to:

  • Learn about literature documenting the importance of spontaneity and improvisational ability in medicine, psychotherapy, pharmacy, and other health-related fields
  • Understand Fu’s (2019) classification of medical improvisation’s goals and core skills into three categories: (a) Attunement (knowledge of self and others), (b) Affirmation (validation of self and others), and (c) Advancement (enrichment of self and others)
  • Review research demonstrating the importance of patient-centered communication in improving clinical outcomes, reducing malpractice suits, and enhancing patient satisfaction
  • Practice micro-communication skills via medical improvisation, including mindfulness, empathy, agreement, adaptation to feedback, comfort with failure, etc.

Course Description

Over the last twenty years, information technologies (IT) have played an increasingly vital role in the delivery of healthcare. Ready information access on the Internet was the first intersection of IT and healthcare, which began to change the dynamic between patient and provider. Electronic health records, telemedicine, and medical applications on smartphones have now become ubiquitous in the delivery of healthcare. Social media, artificial intelligence, and virtual reality are playing an increasing role in terms of access, changing attitudes towards mental health, assessment of clinical acuity, and delivery of care. In this course, we will examine and explore the benefits, risks, and appropriate use of these technologies. At the end of this course, participants will have an improved understanding of the benefits, risks, and appropriate implementation of many technologies used in mental health services.

Learning Objectives

Participants who engage in this education intervention will be able to:

  • Recognize the impact of social media with regards to decreasing stigma of mental health, influence on health seeking behaviors, and professional development
  • Assess smartphone applications with regards to scientific basis, privacy, security, and clinical integration to incorporate them into clinical practice
  • Determine how artificial intelligence software will assist in suicide risk assessment and identifying patients at risk for relapse, and incorporate these technologies in assessment
  • Review personal and professional information available online in form of blogs, physician ratings, and social media and how these impact online reputation and privacy
  • Incorporate strategies to protect personal privacy and professional reputation online.

As well as being a highly popular presenter at previous Door County Summer Institutes, he has been a frequent presenter at venues such as the Cape Cod Symposium, the Santa Fe Symposium, and the Muskoka Summer Seminar Series from McMaster University.

Dr. Shea is the creator of the internationally utilized Chronological Assessment of Suicide Events (CASE Approach). His text Psychiatric Interviewing: The Art of Understanding, 3rd Edition was chosen by the British Medical Association as the 2017 Book of the Year in Psychiatry. And his book The Practical Art of Suicide Assessment is viewed as a classic in the field of suicide prevention.

Course Description

This symposium will offer a variety of innovative strategies and interviewing techniques for transforming many of the most problematic clinical challenges encountered in everyday care. The techniques described are immediately applicable to therapists in all clinical settings from community mental health centers, college counseling centers and private practices to emergency departments and inpatient units.

Traditionally daunting clinical tasks such as creating hope in the hopeless, rapidly, and sensitively engaging clients with borderline and/or narcissistic disorders, exploring incest and domestic violence, un-stalling stalled treatment planning, eliciting hidden suicidal ideation, uncovering dangerous psychotic process, and performing a sensitive DSM-5-TR differential diagnosis, as well as avoiding our own burn-out will be explored. Throughout the week Dr. Shea will pull upon a combination of vibrant didactics, compelling videos, and the lens of the “human matrix”, a philosophical concept that adds consistency, integration, and a sense of meaningful direction to transforming challenging everyday clinical conundrums.

Learning Objectives

Participants who engage in this education intervention will be able to:

  • Be able to describe and to apply the principles of “matrix treatment planning” to instill hope and resiliency as a method of suicide prevention.
  • Be able to use specific interviewing techniques and strategies for spotting dangerous psychotic processes, transforming moments of anger and disengagement, rapidly engaging clients with borderline and/or narcissistic process, and performing a DSM-5-TR differential diagnosis while performing a comprehensive initial interview

Single Session Therapy (SST) can be defined as therapy that the therapist and client expect, from the beginning, to potentially comprise a single visit.

Research shows that one session is, de facto, the most common length of therapy; and that SST is often effective for a variety of problems. A structure will be presented for organizing the tasks and skills involved in different phases (pre, early, middle, late, follow-through) of therapy. Numerous case examples, including videos, will illustrate techniques useful both in both single sessions and in the course of longer treatments.
