This talk first briefly reviews the history of the Developmental, Self and Object Relations theoretical approach to the personality disorders as a preface to exploring the latest additions to the theory, i.e., Attachment Theory and Neurobiological Development of the Self in the Right Brain. Attachment Theory: The work of Ainsworth and others is described leading to the attachment categories in the infant and the adult. Many follow-up studies are presented validating the persistence of the categories over time. Neurobiologic Development of the Self in the Right Brain: The work of Alan Schore, Ph.D. is used to describe the development of the self in the right prefrontal cortex of the brain. Integration: The integration of the two theories with the object relations approach are described and illustrated through therapeutic alliance
Hypnosis is commonly thought of as a tool to enhance the therapy. It also can be used as a "lens." The phenomenology of hypnosis can help us to understand an essential aspect of the trance state, the symptom state, the solution state and the therapist's state, thereby providing new options for treatment.
Analysis of the problematic nature of the concepts of mental illness and psychological (verbal) therapy. How psychotherapists influence persons. Examination of the economic, ethical and legal aspects of psychotherapy.
The client comes for help because he/she is "deeply" troubled. These "deeps" lurking inside problems need to be spoken about by the client and spoken to by the therapist/counselor. Otherwise practice fails its promise and becomes a bag of tricks for fixing problems.
Effective exposure based treatments work via cue exposure, response prevention, and reinforced "opposite action" (all the way). The principles of exposure treatments for anxiety disorders can be generalized to treat disorders of other emotions such as anger, sadness, jealousy, envy, shame and guilt. Opposite action can be taught as a skill.
The emotional problems, physical impairments, financial difficulties and, especially, how does someone nearing death cope with the belief that the world has become so much less caring and altruistic than it was in much of the previous century.
EP05 Conversation Hour 19 - Moral Disengagement in the Perpetration of Inhumanities - Albert Bandura, Ph.D.
This presentation examines the psychosocial mechanisms by which people selectively disengage moral self-sanctions from inhumane conduct. The moral disengagement may center on redefining inhumane conduct as a benign or socially worthy one by moral justification, sanitizing language and expedient comparison with worse cruelty; disavowal of personal agency in the harm one causes by diffusing or displacement of responsibility; disregarding or minimizing the injurious effects of one's actions and dehumanizing those who are victimized and blaming them for bringing the suffering on themselves. Given the many mechanisms for disengaging moral control at individual and collective levels, civilized life requires in addition to human personal standard, safeguards built into social systems that uphold compassionate behavior and renounce cruelty.
After a brief description of Family Therapy in the 1960s and an equally brief description of where it is today, we will make a comparison of the success of family therapy in Europe and the shrinkage in the U.S. A new model of family assessment in four easy steps will be described.
EP05 Point/Counterpoint 09 - Ending the Cycle of Violence - Francine Shapiro, Ph.D.
The Adaptive Information Processing model, which guides EMDR, posits that dysfunctional beliefs, emotions and behaviors are often a direct manifestation of etiological events that have been improperly stored in memory. Implications of the model underscore the obligation of our profession to treat both victims and perpetrators of abuse and violence worldwide.
Historically, psychotherapists have worked with individuals, small groups, large groups and organizations. We have moved from treating pathology to facilitating personal growth to expanding public consciousness. A next step is the life-long guidance of congregations of people. With religion as a precedent, and large group formation as an instrument, Dr. Polster will show how we may address the everyday, non-pathological needs of the community at large, spelling out some of these procedures and their theoretical underpinnings.
The Gottmans will review research that shows that when the first baby arrives, up to 67% of couples go through a tragic deterioration in the quality of their relationship, which usually begins the cascade toward divorce. Their research outlines the consistent phenomena in this transition, and how the minority of marriages do manage to succeed in avoiding this tragedy. The Gottmans will describe a new approach to the problem and present the results of randomized clinical trial preventative intervention with one-year follow-up data on that intervention.
For decades, psychotherapy based upon the paradigm of the individual, has focused on the intrapsychic world of the client. The focus is now shifting to the interpersonal, as a result of the appearance of the relational paradigm from the collective unconscious. This shifting of paradigms will challenge and transform the process of diagnosis and therapeutic interventions of all forms of therapy. This address will outline this historical shift and suggest its implications for therapy theory and practice.
Within the enormous complexity of human experience, the reflex to connectedness rescues the person from fragmentation. Connectedness may be therapeutically restored along four pathways: moment-to-moment, person- to-person, event-to-event and one part of the person to the other parts. Dr. Polster will discuss and demonstrate how to do this.
Imago is couple's therapy that posits that all healing is relational. The core couples issue is ruptured connection, replicating the rupture of connection in childhood. The rupture and the defenses against it influence marital choice and the quality of the marital relationship. The core therapeutic challenge is to help couples restore and maintain connection. To that end, Imago therapists facilitate couples to reconnect using a specific dialogical process, that creates emotional safety, in which couples can help heal each other and grow toward wholeness.
Erickson's hand levitation and pantomime techniques have evolved into simple, easy to learn, activity-dependent approaches to therapeutic hypnosis, and are consistent with the theory and research of the current neuroscience on brain plasticity and the molecular genomic level of psychotherapy. Demonstrations with volunteers from the audience will illustrate.
Dr. Glasser has moved away from the DSM-IV and the medical model. He does not believe that any of the mental illnesses diagnosed in the DSM-IV actually exist because none of them are associated with pathology in the brain. By using Choice Theory he has moved from the medical school model to the public health model to show how counselors can deliver mental health more effectively than psychiatrists are doing now and at a fraction of what we are now spending.
The BASIC I. D. as a template for assessment and therapy will be outlined, as well as methods unique to Multimodal Therapy such as Bridging and Tracking procedures. Many practitioners of psychotherapy make costly mistakes. These will be discussed in detail with a view to enhancing the clinical effectiveness of the participants.

Dr. Szasz will compare and contrast the psychiatric and social scene in the late 1950's when he wrote The Myth of Menta/Illness, with the present psychiatric and social scenes. He will speculate about the impact of that book on psychiatric and psychotherapeutic thought and practice. Active audience participation is encouraged.
Using fantasy, remembrances of things past, the present, and how to aim toward and get in the future, every attendee will participate as leader and client in group exercises.
The subtle body is the bridge between the physical body and the spirit. There will be a brief discussion of Embodied Soul and its use with addictions, eating disorders and co-dependant relationships. Then, in this experiential personal development program, participants will work with the transformation of personal dream images to "open" the body. It is recommended that participants bring a blanket or coat for simple meditation exercises that will be conducted lying on the floor.
Fundamental methods of Ericksonian hypnosis and psychotherapy will be presented and demonstrated. Experiential exercises will help attendees master essential concepts, that can be applied by clinicians of any persuasion to empower treatment goals.
Beginning with a historical view of addiction in the family, Dr. Black will identify the many challenges of working family systems. The workshop will include a variety of intervening strategies to engage family members as a part of the recovery process.
Dr. Kernberg will present specific, empirically tested psychodynamic psychotherapy for patients with severe personality disorders. The strategy, tactics and techniques of TFP will be described and illustrated with clinical material. Indications and contraindications, prognosis and special crises and complications in the treatment will be explored.
Lecture, group and individual demonstrations with volunteers from the audience will illustrate Rossi's activity-dependent approaches to therapeutic hypnosis and psychotherapy that are consistent with the theory and research on the molecular-genomic level plasticity for the creative reconstruction of mind, memory and consciousness.
This workshop will be a presentation of segments of one or two family therapy sessions describing how this model gives invaluable information to guide the practitioner in the development of therapy.
An interpersonal neurobiology approach to parenting helps psychotherapists promote secure attachment within families by nurturing the creation of coherent narratives of parents' early life experiences. This scientific view proposes that empathetic relationships making sense within our life stories, harmonious mental functioning and an integrated brain all mutually reinforce each other.
In this presentation, Drs. Zeig and Johnson will present the essence of Sal Manuchin’s thinking and practice over the past 60 years. They will take us through his therapeutic process, and deconstruct the complexity of his artistry into simple techniques that can be used by therapists of different orientations.
The benefits of therapy tend to be confined to the clinic and to targeted clients with specific complaints. This workshop describes the process and outcome of distributing--face to face and through social media--the core therapeutic processes to the general public. Participants will experience the structure and process of a Safe Conversation, a relational psychoeducational process, the strategies and tactics of cultural healing and invited to join in developing a relational culture.
For too long, and in many ways unintentionally, we’ve tried to organize our world from disjointed mental constructs. This fragmented perspective of the world has led to more and more personal imbalance, social violence and increasing environmental degradation. In this workshop, we will examine how to engage heartfull, embodied intelligence to transform disconnected, fear-based and limited thinking and behaviors into nourishing and respectful life choices. You will explore processes that enrich your capacity to coach others into greater states of wholeness and presence through the body, the voice, movement and receptive listening.
MHE's 1965 paper "A Special Inquiry with Aldous Huxley into the Nature and Character of Various States of Consciousness" will be used so everyone can experience their personal version of Deep Reflection, the Double Dissociation Double Bind and the Quantum Qualia of their private consciousness and cognition for facilitating gene expression and brain plasticity to optimize their own growing edges.
Therapy has typically focused on explaining why people have their problems and why they sometimes make the poor choices they make. This workshop focuses on HOW, not why, people unintentionally make choices that negatively impact their emotional well-being and quality of life. We will identify obstacles to making the key discriminations that can give rise to better decision making, especially global cognitive style and a past orientation. We will explore the role hypnosis can play in encouraging the development of effective discrimination strategies that can lead clients to choose “this,” not “that.”
A central currency in the therapeutic exchange is negative experiences--depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, etc. This practical and positive approach assumes that each core human experience has equivalent potential to be positive or negative, depending on the human relationship to it; and thus focuses on how problems may be transformed to resources by skillful human connection. This process operates at two levels: (1) developing a generative state (in the therapist, client, and relationship field) and then (2) using specific methods of transforming negative experiences and behaviors. Multiple techniques and examples for will be given, along with an exercise and demonstration.
Mythic structures illumine and fortify personal and cultural change. In using the significant myths that inform cultures and persons, there are potent means developed by Dr. Houston of applying mythic and symbolic material towards the shifting needs and challenges of our time. Houston will explore and demonstrate some of these.
The Satir Model is focused on the whole human being, bringing about transformational change within the individual, family and social systems. The therapeutic process is experiential, systemic, positively directional, and change oriented. We are all part of a universal system: the Life Force that provides energy for growth. A model for growth, focused on potential, and challenging the awareness of human beings on the expression of Self and the crucial need to value self and to feel validated, Self-Esteem is the cornerstone of Satir work. Changing consciousness from competition to empowering, from self-pity to congruence. The process requires the therapist have a high level of therapeutic competence, demonstrate congruence, and provide safety and guidance. I will demonstrate, and we will practice, "The Iceberg," one of Satir’s vehicles for change, a powerful process of internal transformation.
This workshop will describe the various clinical syndromes reflecting narcissistic personality disorders, and the corresponding prognostic indicators for psychodynamic psychotherapy. The typical transference developments of these patients will be outlined, and corresponding technical interventions described. The relevance for the love life of these patients will be explored and treatment implications described.
In this experiential workshop, we will learn the theory and practice of methods evolved out of Milton H Erickson’s innovative approaches to therapeutic hypnosis as presented in our new book. These easy-to-learn methods can facilitate Erickson’s natural problem solving and MindBody Healing that can supplement CBT, mindfulness, meditation, movement, and yoga.
Concentration, curiosity, fascination and simplicity of observation are natural agents of personhood. Dr. Polster will show how these are interwoven with four cornerstones of methodology. These are: the tightening of therapeutic sequences, establishing good quality contact, eliciting relevant stories, and identifying parts of the self. Live therapeutic sessions will illustrate the principles.
Clients generally understand what they need but fail to comply with their own directives and those of the therapist. Resistance will be analyzed from three different therapeutic models.
Every therapist needs a method to work with posttraumatic stress disorder. Fundamental techniques will be discussed. Neurological considerations will be offered.
Sex can create intimacy and intimacy can facilitate sexual expression. The intersection between sex and intimacy will be discussed in described from three different perspectives.
Psychotherapy is an amalgamation of science and art. All we’ve can be created that amalgamates the art of effective therapeutic communication and empirically validated orientations.
The process of contracting for change in the initial session will be described and discussed. Methods of targeting goals will be compared and contrasted.
Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is the most common mood disorder on earth and earlier this year was ranked as the number one cause of suffering and disability worldwide by the World Health Organization (WHO). Depression is a complex, multi-faceted disorder and many different theories have been formulated to describe its etiology and course. In this joint presentation, Drs. Amen and Yapko will compare and contrast their viewpoints about depression, addressing such topics as the merits of neuroimaging in depression, causes and types of depression, antidepressant medications, the role of diet and use of diet supplements in treatment, and why not all psychotherapies are equally effective in promoting recovery.
There is a professionally familiar dichotomy between the experience of an actual person to person relationship, on the one hand, and the transpersonal expansion. The latter is often given a special place in the therapeutic repertoire but, in actuality, they are overlapping experiences, Drs. Houston and Polster will each tell how these perspectives enter into their work, with an accompanying discussion.
Generative processes are those that promote innovation, evolution and growth. To “generate” means to create something new. Thus, the core focus in of generative change is creativity: How do you create a successful and meaningful work life? How do you create great personal relationships? How do you develop a great relationship with yourself—your body, your past, your future, your wounds and your gifts? These are the basic challenges in leading an extraordinary life, and the processes of generative change offer a way to succeed at them.
We will debate the Promise of attachment science as a guide to the practice of individual couple and family therapy in the 21st century including what this science tells us about how to understand mental health issues and the most direct pathways to positive change, health and resilience.
Strategic therapy and present centered therapy have often received attention as discretely different phenomena. Cloe Madanes will present her views of strategic therapy and its relevance for present centered therapy. Erving Polster will do the same, showing the disparity and commonality of the two. Their individual views will animate a conversation with each other.
The application of culturally-informed practices taking into account socio-cultural and historical contexts and intersecting identity factors is essential to ethical practice. In this presentation cultural-centered frameworks are reviewed as tools to recognize unconscious biases and to enhance respectful and inclusive engagements with individuals, groups, and communities. This presentation is informed by the APA Multicultural Guidelines and the Multicultural Counseling Competencies (Sue, Arredondo & McDavis, 1992). Examples from clinical and organizational practice will be introduced.
Racial, gender, and LGBTQ micro aggressions are brief and commonplace daily verbal, behavioral or environmental indignities which communicate hostile, derogatory, or negative slights to targets. They are often reflections of implicit bias that are outside the level of conscious awareness of well-intentioned individuals. Nevertheless, they have been found to cause lowered subjective well-being in the lives of marginalized group members and may lead to mental health problems. Research indicates that clinicians and supervisors are often perpetrators of micro aggressions.
As advances are made in better understanding the power of focus in shaping one’s subjective perceptions and even physiology, the field of hypnosis has played an especially important role in this ongoing process of discovery. Despite too many clinicians’ terribly misinformed dismissal of hypnosis as little more than a gimmick, in fact hypnosis has evolved a strong scientific basis for its insights into neuroscience, cognition, suggestive language and information processing, placebo and nocebo responses, the therapeutic alliance, and more. Some of these insights and their clinical implications will be discussed.
An Introduction to the facts and fallacies of how the Quantum World View could facilitate the Evolution of Psychotherapy by integrating the best insights of the arts, humanities and sciences to support people, cultures and nations to become the best they can be.
Madanes will present 18 strategies that she developed for working with the whole age range and the whole range of problems presented to therapy. These interventions are in the tradition of Strategic Therapy in that the therapist plans a strategy that involves the social context of the individual and the therapist is directive, guiding clients towards the solutions for their challenges.
Therapy is successful when clients are able to experientially realize positive life changes. While the identification and transformation of symptoms is important in this regard, the activation of the client's creative capacity to change is even more important. This paper outlines 6 steps in this therapeutic process:: (1) opening a mindful field, (2) setting positive intentions, (3) developing and maintaining a creative state, (4) identifying a “storyboard” for achieving goals, (5) transforming negative experiences, and (6) everyday practices Methods and case examples will be given to illuminate this core process.
Reimagining couple hood as a partnership, rather than a competition, requires reimaging the "space between," rather than "the space within," as the target of therapy. This relocation of the locus of change requires reimaging therapy as a process that facilitates connecting more than self-understanding. This lecture will propose "being" rather than "knowing" as the foundation of the therapeutic process and connection and wonder rather than insight and self-knowledge as the outcome.
Attendees will learn about the fundamentals of trauma and the underlying neuroscience.
Educational Objectives:
Describe the common components of posttraumatic stress disorder.
Describe three elements of the basic neuroscience of trauma.
A conversation hour with Dr. Otto Kernberg, centered on reflections about therapists “therapeutic ambitions”.
Educational Objectives:
Discuss how to avoid patient induced limitations on over-restriction of therapists’ aims as well as overly ambitious goals.
How do we assess what are realistic expectations?
And what are the patient’s realistic contributions to this assessment?
Research indicates the effectiveness of psychotherapeutic interventions, but some psychotherapists constantly achieve better treatment outcomes and lasting changes. What do these “expert” therapists do and not do to achieve these positive results?
Dr. Gilligan will briefly overview his general approach to the creative process of effective psychotherapy, and then open the floor to conversation from participants.
EP17 Conversation Hour 05 - John Gottman, PhD and Julie Gottman, PhD
Educational Objectives:
Describe why not all relationship conflict is the same, and why some conflicts require the therapist to be an existential psychologist.
Describe why it is so vital for therapists to measure physiology in couples’ therapy.
Describe what Gottman sound relationship house theory and Gottman method couples therapy offers in the following domains: (1) friendship and intimacy, (2) conflict management, (3) shared meaning, (4) trust, and (5) commitment.
Third generation NLP is generative, systemic and focused on high level issues such as identity and purpose. It emphasizes whole system change and can be applied to organizations and cultures as well as to individuals, families and teams. It expands upon the previous generations of NLP to include tools and skills for supporting multiple levels of change. This conversation will focus on how these methods can enhance therapy and coaching.
Dr. Burns will describe his personal evolution from biological psychiatry during his psychiatric residency to cognitive behavior therapy, and then to the new TEAM-CBT, which he has recently developed. TEAM-CBT aims for extremely high-speed treatment using innovative cognitive and motivational (resistance-busting) techniques. He will invite questions from audience participants.
Starting with a review of recent studies on the neurobiology of trauma, Dr. van der Kolk will examine the utility of approaches from the fields of hypnosis, body oriented therapies and EMDR, both with research data and videotaped clinical interventions. The integration of these approaches during different stages of treatment will be discussed.
Identity has to do with such questions as "Who am I?"; "What are my limits?"; "What is my purpose?" Clarifying the deep structure of our identity allows us to express ourselves even more fully at the level of our behavioral surface structure. It involves: Finding and clarifying our life's direction; managing boundaries between self and others; becoming clear about beliefs that support our identity and those which limit us; expanding our sense of self, and incorporating new dimensions of being.
EP05 Workshop 31 - Behavioral Health as Primary Care: Psychotherapy's Future as a Primary Care Profession - Nicholas Cummings, Ph.D. Co-faculty: William O'Donohue, Ph.D.
Several large health systems are now co-locating behavioral care providers (BCPs, Primarily psychologists and social workers) in the primary care setting, side-by-side with primary care physicians (PCPs). Research has already shown when a PCP can walk the patient down the hall to the BCP's office, 90% of patients engage in treatment as opposed to only 10% of referrals today. This presages opportunities for psychotherapists who wish to participate, and this workshop will address how to anticipate, prepare and avoid the pitfalls of a new integrated behavioral/primary care delivery system.
This workshop will cover a broad range of problems presented by couples - from the most common to the most difficult, including such issues as violence and difficulties with money. The strategies presented will range from simple straightforward directives to paradoxical techniques and the use of humor.
EP05 Workshop 34 - A New Leadership Role for Mental Health Professionals - William Glasser, M.D.
The leadership role in mental health has been assumed by psychiatrists who diagnose mental illnesses that do not exist and treat them with potentially harmful brain drugs. Dr. Glasser will explain that mental health separate from mental illness does exist if we could change from the mental illness model to a new public health model based on mental health. This will allow psychotherapists to assume a leadership role they don't have now.
This presentation will differentiate the clinical characteristics and therapeutic management of several types of severely regressive transferences: typical split transferences of borderline patients, the fragmentation of affective experiences of schizoid personalities the intolerance of triangulation, and the narcissistic transferences. Clinical illustration will exemplify these differential transferences and their clinical management.
“What goes around....” is focused on recent and emerging developments in law and ethics that will impact clinicians of all disciplines. Starting with changes to child abuse reporting obligations, the workshop covers changes for custody evaluators, record-keeping and maintenance, emerging issues and risks regarding telehealth practice, updates on duties to inform and warn when violent behavior may occur, modifications of laws concerning “retirement” of professionals, receiving subpoenas, testifying in court, risk management for supervisors, suicide risk management, and “selected slippery slopes.”

Building on the pragmatic foundation you have already developed as a clinician, you can readily appreciate that suggestion is an inevitable part of any treatment modality. The study of clinical hypnosis encourages a deeper understanding of how you already use suggestive language in your therapy approaches as well as ways to broaden your range of skills in suggesting therapeutic possibilities. Immersion in the practice of clinical hypnosis fosters sensitivity to the unique and subjective aspects of human experience and offers ways to enlist these potentials as positive allies in treatment. In this respect, hypnosis may well be regarded as the original applied “Positive Psychology,” for anyone who practices hypnosis recognizes that people have many more resources than they realize.
