- Short Description:
- Creating lasting and ecological change frequently involves interventions on multiple interconnected levels such as: environment, behaviors, capabilities, beliefs, values, identity and sense of purpose. Working with these different levels involves different dynamics and produces a different degree of impact. It is important to have a road map and toolbox for how to influence clients at all of these levels. This session will explore the different types of processes and qualities of relationship that are necessary to produce change at multiple levels.

- This keynote is a sweeping, poetic tour of what makes a self, blending neuroscience, evolution, memory, relationships and metaphor into a vivid portrait of human identity. Diane Ackerman explores how the brain constructs experience, how relationships shape our inner life, and how memory, emotion and imagination continually revise who we are. Participants are invited into a playful, profound meditation on consciousness, connection and the ever-changing mosaic of selves we carry through the world.

- Short Description:
- Bader presents strategies for managing infidelity crises in therapy, emphasizing direct engagement with conflict, addressing obsessive rumination constructively, and understanding the deeper meanings behind affairs. Using case examples, she highlights the importance of honesty, self-reflection, and confronting various types of lies to rebuild trust. Bader outlines therapeutic skills necessary for both partners—empowering the betrayed partner to find their voice, fostering self-esteem, and encouraging the betrayer to take accountability. She also addresses therapist neutrality, transparency, and navigating challenges like sexless marriages through honest and difficult conversations.

- In this workshop I will show how to use a process-based therapy approach to guide intervention, based on a new form of process-based functional analysis. Using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and an extended form of its psychological flexibility model I will show how idiographic analysis can be used to fit treatment kernels to client needs, rather than using protocols that target syndromes.

- "Sometime between the years 2030 and 2050 Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) will become a numerical majority in society. It will become increasingly difficult for mental health professionals, and educators not to encounter clients and students who differ from them in terms of race, ethnicity and culture. Difficult dialogues on race and other sociodemographic identities (gender, sexual orientation or identity) have often served to polarize and obstruct mutual understanding rather than to clarify and increase mutual understanding. Most well intentioned people (mental health providers, educators and others) find themselves ill prepared to deal with the often-explosive race or gender related emotions that manifest themselves in interpersonal interactions and in employment and other public spaces.

- Short Description:
- What can mental health professionals do to enhance their performance? Available evidence makes clear that attending a typical continuing education workshop, specializing in the treatment of a particular problem, or learning a new treatment model does little to improve effectiveness. In fact, studies to date indicate clinical effectiveness actually declines with time and experience in the field. The key to improved performance is engaging in deliberate practice. At this workshop, the latest research on deliberate practice will be translated into concrete steps all clinicians can immediately apply in their efforts to achieve better results.

- Short Description:
- Gestalt therapy envisions a radical conception of the self as temporal and emergent. This means it is a fluid self, continually changing through creative adjustment to its changing contacts with the world. One could think of the self in Gestalt therapy as an unending aesthetic project: Like all experience, it has to be made and remade as it navigates the passing of time. And it is reflexive, being both creator and created.

- In this talk, Dr. Steven Hayes will claim that most key psychological concepts that have entered into our cultural mainstream contain within them a core conceptual and methodological flaw that makes application of these concepts inappropriate and invalid. Dr. Hayes will explain the error and show how it limits the good that psychology can do for the world. He will then examine a small number of areas of research where significant progress has been made by correcting the problem.

- In this reflective and personal address, Jean Shinoda Bolen invites listeners to see midlife and elderhood as thresholds into deeper meaning rather than decline. Drawing on Jungian psychology, archetypes, dream work, and her own lived experience, she explores individuation, gratitude, and the call to live from the “inside out.” Framed within the larger liminal moment of the pandemic, she encourages forming circles, honoring inner guidance, and using this stage of life to grow into one’s fullest expression of love, purpose, and trust.
