The implications of our investigations into the nature and influence of temperament will be· elaborated by the concepts of temperament-environment interactions, goodness of fit and parent guidance as well as guidance of adolescents and adults in psychotherapy. These formulations will be applied to psychotherapeutic clinical practice with children, adolescents and adults. A 22 minute illustrative videotape will be shown.
The focus of this workshop is on problems in therapy: overdependency, ''negative transference,'' acting out, therapeutic impasse and resistance. The same dysfunctional beliefs that maintain psychological disorders interfere with therapeutic change. Specific strategies pinpoint these beliefs as well as the cognitive distortions. This workshop will describe treatment variations for the difficult disorders such as borderline personality, chronic depression and severe agoraphobia.
A broad-based introduction to understanding the bio-psych-social determinants of the development of sexual and gender-identity in males and females is the basis of this workshop.
This workshop will present cognitive experiential and behavioral techniques to help women and men in their intimate relationships. There will be a special emphasis on personal and work-related male/female relationships and how to deal with negative reactions to "out of role" behavior, such as women's assertiveness and men's expressions of intimacy. Live demonstrations will be offered.
The application of Control Theory to the problem of selecting a compatible mate and/or staying happily married to an existing mate. To do this there will be considerable interaction with the audience.
Observations of thousands of treatment sessions indicate that an innate processing system is physiologically geared to take disturbance to mental health. EMDR is an eight-phase methodology that catalyzes and accelerates the healing process. The clinician, therefore, is repositioned to the role of guide and facilitator. Treatment tapes will illustrate the method and majesty of the client's unfolding.
