Visit the Center’s website at www.bwanalysis.org Presenter: William Pinney, PhD Paul Russell once wrote, “There is no real treatment process that does not include some piece of therapy for the therapist.” Much of Russell’s work presages core aspects of the Relational Perspective’s focus on co-creation and the therapeutic use of enactments. This program will explore complicated treatment impasses and/or ruptures and the important role both patient and therapist have in co-creating this ride. Dr. Pinney will illustrate these concepts with a case presentation of a long-term, three-times-weekly psychotherapy that presented significant challenges to both the patient and the therapist.

Each of its meta- constituent acknowledges and denies the dualism that lies at the core of separateness-merger conundrum of human existence. And, it is this bridging function of poetry that imparts the “craft of verse” its healing power. 1.5 CME/CE credits are being offered. Please see information at registration site. The Washington Center for Psychoanalysis, the International Psychotherapy Institute, the Washington School of Psychiatry and the Baltimore Society for Psychoanalytic Studies presents a program to address the national epidemic of school homicide, suicide and bullying. Speaker is Stuart W. Twemlow, MD, internationally acclaimed for new methods of intervention that involve the inactive “bystanders” who fuel the bullying and for re-conceptualizing bullying as symptomatic of wider community dysfunction.

The Institute of Contemporary Psychotherapy & Psychoanalysis Series Description: This series consists of seven independent short courses, each lasting three hours and incorporating three different components: 1) a didactic component consisting of a review of relevant theory and research; 2) a case study; and 3) a guided experiential component. The purpose of the case study and experiential component is to enhance participants’ ability to translate the concepts they are learning in the seminars directly into their clinical practices. Throughout these seven courses, an integrated model will be employed drawing together, when appropriate, mind-body principles, contemporary dynamic theories and neuroscience. Because they enhance one another, we recommend that participants take as many courses in this series as possible. Readings will be sent to participants upon registration. Series Instructors: Jean Gearon, PhD; Bill Harman, PhD; Kate Kelly; Faith Lewis, MSW; Karen Schachter, MSW; and Stephen R. Stein, PhD. Maximum Enrollment: Ten Each short course offers 3.0 CE credits – The Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy & Psychoanalysis (ICP&P) maintains responsibility for this program and its content. ICP&P is approved by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education for psychologists. ICP&P is approved by the Maryland Board of Social Work Examiners to offer Category I continuing education credit. Because ICP&P has approval from the Maryland Board, CE credits hours awarded by ICP&P may also be claimed by social workers licensed in Virginia and the District of Columbia. These continuing education credits meet the ANCC approval standards for nurses and the approved standards for marriage & family therapists. Attendees from the above professional groups will earn 3.0 CE credits for attending the conference. Full attendance is required to receive the designated CE credit. ICP&P is accredited by MedChi, the Maryland State Medical Society to provide continuing medical education for physicians. ICP&P designates this educational activity for a maximum of 3.0 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)Ô. Physicians should only claim credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity. COURSE ONE: OVERVIEW OF THE PROGRAM AND RATIONALE FOR AN INTEGRATED MODEL: COURSE TWO: THE CENTRAL CONCEPTS OF NEUROSCIENCE THAT RELATE TO PSYCHOTHERAPY Brief Summary: This section will focus upon some central concepts in neural science that affect the treatment process. The importance of neural integration in therapy and psychological well-being will be discussed. The parts of the brain that play crucial roles in neural integration will be reviewed, including the neocortical and limbic systems, brain stem and left brain-right brain functioning. The didactic component will also focus on: 1) an interpersonal theory of neural development, which sculpts the brain, 2) the effects of stress in relation to neural functioning, behavior and psychological well-being, and 3) the impact of therapy upon neural integration, limbic revision and executive brain functioning to promote neural plasticity. COURSE THREE: MIND-BODY PRINCIPLES AND TECHNIQUES Brief Summary: This seminar will focus upon an operational definition and discussion of mind/body strategies such as hypnosis, guided imagery, mindfulness and meditation. The principles that provide the underlying foundation for the use of mind-body practice and the structural components that serve to deepen the trance experience and to create altered and heightened states of consciousness will be identified. The application of these therapeutic strategies to the clinical encounter will be discussed as well. COURSE FOUR: MINDFULNESS AND PSYCHOTHERAPY Brief Summary: This seminar will define mindfulness, and describe how it can be helpful to the therapist, the patient and the therapeutic relationship. Additionally, this seminar will review the empirical evidence supporting the positive benefits of mindfulness and will help you to integrate its use into your psychotherapy practice. Course Five: THE INTEGRATED MODEL AND HOW TO USE IT TO PROMOTE HEALING Brief Summary: During this didactic component, the convergence of contemporary psychodynamic theory with modern neuroscience will be highlighted. Specifically, we will explore these concepts — mirror neurons, empathy, selfobject experiences and transferences, implicit relational knowing — and how each of these represent the integration of contemporary psychotherapy with neuroscience. The ideas of mindsight, wise mind, limbic revision and resonance will be reviewed. We will also discuss how specific induction content/focus (i.e., relaxation, vitalization, health, body image) relates and influences clients’ inter-subjective experience and intra-subjective reality. COURSE SIX: CLINICAL APPLICATIONS OF THE INTEGRATED MODEL: TRAUMA Brief Summary: This seminar will review and discuss the impact of psychological trauma on the brain and how different memory systems (implicit and explicit) respond to and process traumatic events. During this seminar, participants will learn how an integrated model can help facilitate recovery from traumatic events by utilizing neuro-plasticity and limbic revision to decrease the classic intrusive and arousal symptoms of PTSD, create a new healing narrative and promote greater emotional equilibrium. The importance of the intersubjective experience with the therapist in healing will be outlined as well as how guided imagery can contribute to developing and maintaining the therapeutic alliance. COURSE SEVEN: CLINICAL APPLICATIONS OF THE INTEGRATED MODEL: MALADAPTIVE SELF-SOOTHING BEHAVIORS Brief Summary: During this seminar, we will continue the discussion of how to apply the integrated model with clients (adults and children) with a variety of maladaptive coping strategies including disordered eating, negative body image and anxiety. Woven into these discussions will be examples of how to craft inductions, as well as to use other mind-body strategies, to help address these difficult issues. – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – October 14, 2011 Fees per Short Course: (Make checks payable to ICP&P and send to: 4601 Conn.
