- Short Description:
- 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 people. A complementary offshoot of these life-long groups is the reciprocal benefits it will share with brief therapy, supplying continuity to the brief therapy experience and individual focus to the large group formations.

- Within the enormous complexity of human experience, the reflex to connectedness rescues the person from fragmentation. Dr. Polster will portray connectedness along four dimensions: 1) person to person, enhancing relational experience and belonging; 2) moment to moment, restoring continuity and fluidity; 3) event to event, recovering life's storyline; 4) Characteristic to characteristic, integrating the self.

- Today, prudent therapists learn not only to influence client's interactions within their natural social context, but also influence their interactions with the helping system. In this workshop, the problematic relations between helping and family systems and strategies to change them will be described. Three areas will be explored: 1) humanistic approach to services; 2) correcting the family hierarchy; 3) boundary building.

- Short Description:
- This presentation will explore the major themes, dimensions, and conceptualizations of resiliency from communal, psychosocial, cultural, and spiritual perspectives. We will discuss how to mobilize resiliency within the framework of time-limited soul care and use the dynamic interaction among heritages, norms, traditions, and values, to further the coping, surviving, and thriving strategies. We will argue that resiliency, is not only a psycho-emotional and individualistic potential ability, but also a collective foundation, resource, and faculty stored in the community. Thus, resiliency is a clear function of culture, group identity, and generational wisdom.

- Short Description:
- Yapko and Polster examine the idea of “life focus” groups as a natural extension of psychotherapy, designed not for problem-solving but for cultivating reflection, belonging, and continuity in community. Highlighting themes like design, congregation, and continuity, the keynote draws parallels to religion, the arts, and large-scale social movements while imagining new, non-clinical spaces for shared growth. Participants gain a broader vision of how psychotherapy’s principles can inspire communal practices that enhance meaning and vitality in everyday life.

Programs are consistently being introduced and professional development offered. What's working and what isn't? How much can we expect of teachers and administrators? How is the collaboration and communication between parents, schools, and outside providers going? And what are students actually earning in about their mental health in school?

The social artist as cultural therapist offers a new paradigm of sustainable human development, one that supports human development in its most primary form: the development of capacities, skills and potentials that activate the individual and groups in ways that enhance their societal choices and commitments, liberates their inventiveness and raises levels of esteem and cooperation essential to carrying out the goals of making a better world.

- The enormous changes brought about in the last 25 years by the women's movement and the sex role revolution have opened new possibilities and problems-sources of conflict and new strengths for women, men and families. There is a challenge now for psychotherapists to break through their own remnant stereotypes of feminine mystique, masculine mystique, and obsolete assumptions about family so that they may distinguish between personal and political pathology and help evolving women, men and families find and use more consciously their new strengths and confront real problems realistically.

- This workshop emphasizes ways culture and religion can be integrated into the therapeutic discourse through the promotion of intercultural resiliency. Interculturalism allows for relationship building and learning from each other while taking the therapist deeper than multicultural or cross-cultural communication. Resiliency as a healing process allows for creating new meanings to unfortunate life events based on developing the self through mentorship and community, the building blocks of resiliency.

- Dr Erickson’s work with individuals, couples and families has been well explored, but what is often overlooked is his skill in information gathering and interventions that connected a client to their community. Communities are not what they were in his time and attempts to do this without first building a healing community can be fraught.
