	PSY-5453: The Community Narration Approach in Organizational and Community Settings A core competency of community psychology practice is collaboration with individuals, groups, organizations, and communities. Consultants working in organizational and community settings often utilize community building tools to promote collaboration among people working within organizations and communities. In 2011, the Global Journal of Community Psychology Practice published a special issue on community psychology practice competencies which served as a catalyst for the development of practical and engaging community building tools. One such tool is the Community Narration (CN) approach (Olson & Jason, 2011) that utilizes the narrative method to deepen a group’s understanding of their individual and collective identity. This one-day workshop will provide students with exposure to facilitating the CN approach, a participatory narrative technique that utilizes personal stories as well as community narratives to better understand identity and social dynamics within an organization, community, or social group. The CN approach can be used for a variety of purposes - program evaluation, visioning, strategic planning or organizational change. Students will participate in the CN approach exercise and learn how to facilitate the CN approach as part of their community practice. Students will collaboratively write a report that summarizes their experience and individually develop a work-plan to facilitate the CN approach with the organization or community of their choice.

	PSY-5580M: Spiritual Psychology and Spiritual Psychotherapy This course explores the viewpoint that spirituality, as reflected in various traditions from around the world, suggests an alternative perspective on how one overcomes suffering and moves toward having a happy life. This viewpoint is drawn from the integration of classical yogic based meditation practice and spiritual perspective with psychodynamic, object relations, existential, humanistic, and cognitive-behavioral approaches to working with clients. Many current therapeutic methods are utilizing and incorporating mindfulness, the mental, emotional, and physical benefits of which have been empirically supported. However, various meditative traditions diverge radically from the empirical perspective in how they understand cause and effect and the process of growth and change. In this course we explore the view that spirituality speaks directly to clinical problems and recommends the inclusion of the associated mysterious, powerful, and joyful healing experiences in our understanding of therapeutic process. We will share and discuss several clinical and personal spiritual experiences. And we will explore their therapeutic benefit and the difficulty in pinning down the mechanism of action in such instances, suggesting that activities in the spiritual realm may be apparent and experienceable while also remaining unknowable or incomprehensible in certain ways. The viewpoint taken in this course is that such phenomena should not be ignored or undervalued in mainstream psychology We will explore contemplation as practiced in a variety of cultures and spiritual traditions. Contemplation is an entirely different way of knowing reality that has the power to move us beyond ideology and dualistic thinking. The capacity for nondual knowing that is developed through contemplation allows us to be happy, and comfortable with paradox and mystery. Spiritual masters of various traditions have taught us how all the hopes we have on the outside can be fulfilled on the inside through meditation and contemplation. Suffering can be an important and valuable source of guidance in this process, as we detach from the experience of needing external things to find fulfillment. This course will also consider the practical use of contemplative practice to identify and intervene on processes of psychological projection, as well as to intercede on binary thinking often applied to culture, gender, sexuality, class, and disability, building our capacity as therapists to be compassionate and respectful of socio-cultural differences. We will draw from and seek parallels amongst a number of the great spiritual traditions and practices drawn from a variety of cultures around the world in this workshop, including, Buddhist, Hindu-Yoga-Vedanta, Kashmir Shaivism, Sufi/Muslim, mystical Christianity, Native American and Kabbalah/Jewish Mysticism as we reflect on the concepts of spiritual psychology and psychotherapy.

	PSY-5580Q: Introduction to Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention Addictions - whether to alcohol, drugs, food, gambling, or other behaviors - often stem from a desire to escape our current experience. By bringing awareness to this tendency, and by finding new ways to relate to our experiences, whether pleasant or unpleasant, we can step out of our habitual tendencies, and choose a more skillful response. This workshop serves as a basic introduction to Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention (MBRP), an aftercare program intended for individuals who have completed initial treatment for substance use disorders. MBRP integrates mindfulness practices with cognitive-behavioral strategies to help clients relate more compassionately and skillfully to physical, mental, or emotional experiences. The workshop will consist of an experiential tour of the core practices and exercises from the eight-week MBRP program. In addition to lecture by the instructor, students will take part in various meditation practices and cognitive-behavioral exercises so they can experience MBRP for themselves. Min.

	PSY-5714: Exploration of Post Traumatic Growth Recently the field of trauma psychology has directed research and attention beyond recovering from PTSD and traumatic experiences to the possibility of post-traumatic growth.

	PSY-5715: Mind/Body Treatment Interventions With Trauma Survivors In 2013, the DSM-5 published a new definition of trauma, changed the diagnostic criteria for PTSD (for children and adults) and established a new category for Trauma and Stressor-Related Disorders. Instead of being seen as a form of anxiety, symptoms associated with a traumatic event are considered to be the result of a brain injury that impacts an individual’s mind and body in clinically significant ways. As a result, mental health professionals are faced with reconceptualizing ways to enhance the quality of their therapeutic relationships; and providing more effective treatment, assessment, intervention and resolution of symptoms presented by trauma survivors. This course will present research regarding the theory of trauma as a brain injury, discuss how traumatic events impact individuals on physical, mental, and emotional levels, explore how interpersonal neurobiology can enhance the therapeutic relationship, and demonstrate effective mind/body treatment interventions such as: Deep Breathing, Full Body Muscle Relaxation, Mindfulness Meditation and Visualization Techniques, Journal Writing, Mirroring, Family Sculptures, EFT and EMDR.

	PSY-5716: Using a Trauma-Informed Approach to Targeting Therapy-Interfering Behaviors Recent advances in trauma treatment have highlighted a need for clinicians to go beyond learning the basic principles and interventions associated with empirically-based protocols and be prepared to treat the complex, multi-disordered client that doesn’t fit neatly into clinical trials or academic studies. Researchers have highlighted rates of substance abuse, expressed anger, treatment drop-out, dissociation, therapy ruptures and other symptoms can be higher in clients with a history of trauma, and can lead to negative treatment outcomes in trauma treatments, if not addressed. Therapists treating adults with a complex trauma history utilizing exposure-based treatments (CPT, EMDR, PE, or DBT) are often faced with therapy-interfering behaviors not covered in basic training manuals. These behaviors need to be identified, conceptualized, and addressed with a trauma-informed lens. This course addresses the key problems of retention, motivation, and commitment when applying trauma-focused recovery. It will provide an overview of the current research and methods of addressing several therapy-interfering behaviors, teaching clinicians how to safely observe, describe, and address them with a guiding therapeutic frame grounded in recent advances in trauma treatment. Content will also explicitly address the role of clinical “burnout”, vicarious trauma, compassion fatigue and trauma informed-ecological systems in working effectively with highly traumatized populations, providing discussion and insight on therapist burn-out as a treatable and preventable part of ethical practice Min.

	PSY-5900B: Treatment of HIV/STD Related Clinical Issues with LGBT Clients HIV continues to be a public health crisis in the United States that has disproportionately affected the LGBTQ community since its inception. While much has changed in the availability and types of treatments that now make HIV a chronic non-lethal disease, infection rates continue to remain steady at approximately 40,000 new infections per year. Most of these new infections are within the gay male community. However a disproportionate number affect MSM Latino and African-American men as well as the transgender communities. While the disease is now medically manageable, the psychosocial needs of the LGBTQ individuals living with and affected by HIV deserve clinical understanding and attention on the role of possible oppressions related to various identity components of each individual and how this might influence physical and mental health to support a self-valuing LGBTQ sense of self. An LGBTQ affirmative position empathically and clinically appreciates the often complex interplay and trauma-related responses between sexual orientation, gender, racism, socioeconomic challenges, religion, sexual abuse and the still powerful stigma attached to HIV and LGBTQ identities. This workshop will be facilitated from a broad-based perspective that encourages understanding of issues related to the treatment of HIV-infected and affected populations with the LGBT community. We will specifically consider the psychological, social and cultural influence of HIV on the LGBTQ community. Therapeutic skills will be taught that will assist student clinicians with a basic framework with which to provide compassionate and ethical treatment of HIV and co-occurring sexually transmitted diseases including the advances to prevention through the administration of PEP and PrEP protocols.

	PSY-5930FF: LGBT Clinical and Psychological Wellness Across the Lifespan This course presents a hands-on overview of contemporary LGBT issues across the lifespan, as seen in clinical practice. Using a developmental framework, various issues are explored in a chronological fashion, from the developing psychology of the proto-LGBT (as well as queer and questioning) child, all the way through adolescence, midlife and issues of older adulthood, unique to the LGBTQQ experience. This course is equal parts theory and process. Not only does it cover relevant developmental models and LGBT-affirmative theories, it also explores the lived experience of various LGBT issues from both a personal and clinical point of view. Key to this class is the philosophy that good treatment must include self-awareness on the part of the clinician, which enables true empathy for the client. To this end, the class includes opportunities for students to reflect on their own life experiences and the meanings they make of them. Additionally, it looks at how these issues show up in psychotherapy (both in private practice and in clinic work). Through lectures, readings, class exercises, writing and much discussion this course works to understand the multiple layers of LGBT identity and experience in cross-cultural context, and how they interact with each other, and how they evolve over the course of one’s life.

	PSY-5930K: Healing Historical Oppression in the LGBT Communities This course explores how LGBT historical (and current) oppression negatively affects personal development of LGBT individuals through the experiences of minority stress. This process will be explored with both systemic and psychodynamic lenses. Although the labels included in LGBT (and any number of other labels) communities have not always existed, people with non-heteronormative or non-cisgender identities have always existed through history. A therapist with the ability to help clients reclaim LGBTQ+ history can help in psychological healing through providing twinship, altering internal objects, and healing the internal split, thereby reducing internalizing homo/bi/transphobia. The historical treatment of LGBT people in psychotherapy and psychiatry will be explored, as well as ways to navigate how this manifests in negative transference. Through learning in this course, students will learn to deliver interventions that help in building the self-efficacy of LGBTQ+ individuals through historical/cultural appreciation and understanding.
