EP17 Speech with Discussant 01 - When Helping Doesn't Help - David Burns, MD and Jeffrey Zeig, PhD
Although there's been an overwhelming proliferation of new therapies for depression and anxiety, the controlled outcome studies have yielded disappointing results. Dr. Burns argues that this is because resistance has not been addressed, and describes a new approach called TEAM-CBT that solves this problem and promises superior outcomes.

EP17 Speech with Discussant 02 - The Primacy of Creativity in Effective Psychotherapy - Stephen Gilligan, PhD and Jean Houston, PhD
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.

EP17 Speech with Discussant 03 - Trauma and Memory: Brain and Body in a Search for the Living Past - Peter Levine, PhD and Bessel van der Kolk, MD
There is tremendous confusion in work with traumatic memories, often leaving clients and their therapists confused and insecure. In this lecture we will discuss the different types of memory (both explicit/conscious & implicit/unconscious) in resolving traumatic reactions, while avoiding the creation of "false memories."

EP17 Speech with Discussant 04 - Beyond Therapy: Living and Telling in Community - Erving Polster, PhD and Michael Yapko, PhD
Living is composed of a supreme flow of experiences. Therefore, people face a commanding challenge to their integrative powers. Telling helps them by revisiting this landscape, revealing the accessibly hidden markers of a lifetime. Dr. Polster will show how a sharply pointed attention to universal themes within a group process will light up our lives, giving shape to personal perspective. Techniques and precedents for conducting this process will be addressed.
