	PSY-5160D: Therapeutic Issues in Managing Traumatic Stress and Anger Everyday stress and anger are often seen as the root of many frequently expressed human emotions, yet our primary socializing institutions (families, schools, religious institutions) provide very little instruction to manage them effectively. As a result, Anger Management Training is increasingly being used by the courts, medical, legal and other corporate disciplinary committees, and by media consultants to remediate aggressive behavior exhibited while driving the highways, in the workplace and on the public airways. As stress levels rise in these times of economic uncertainty, we know that there is even more of an impact on the severity of psychological impairment and functioning. Moreover, there is evidence that clinicians should be prepared to see a growing number of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) cases resulting from the trauma associated with war zone deployment, as well as natural disasters, terror, motor vehicle accidents and sexual assault.

	PSY-5200C: Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (pcit) An Early Childhood Evidence-Based Treatment Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), is an evidence-based treatment model that fosters strengthening of the parent- child relationship and develops parent?s ability to appropriately manage child?s maladaptive behaviors. When young children are exposed to traumatic events such as physical and emotional abuse, several domains in their development may be impacted. Trauma affects children?s cognitive, social and emotional development as well as children?s relationships with their caregivers, especially when the trauma consists of physical or emotional abuse. PCIT gives parents the opportunity to learn, practice, and master specific parenting skills to manage and subsequently reduce their children?s acting out behaviors. At the same time PCIT promotes building social and emotional competence, such as taking turns, sharing, decreasing impulse control, and increasing frustration tolerance. The treatment consists of two phases: Child Directed Interaction (CDI) and Parent Directed Interaction (PDI). CDI portion of PCIT focuses on relationship enhancement skills, while PDI addresses age appropriate management of children?s maladaptive behaviors. This workshop will assist students in developing an understanding of PCIT concepts and the unique ways in which PCIT is suited to improve relationship between parents and children. It will also address the cultural barriers and considerations when using PCIT with different ethnic groups. Min.

	PSY-5201: Interrupting Intergenerational Trauma an d Advancing Development in Children and FamiliesA Contempoary Psychoanalytic & Neurobiological Approach This course offers psychoanalytically and neurobiologically informed interventions to introduce students to how to interrupt multi-generational transmission of unresolved trauma. Rather than focusing mainly on symptom reduction in identified children, it teaches active techniques to help students recognize interpersonal patterns between parents and children that perpetuate traumatic experiences and inform behavioral difficulties in children. Through lecture and class discussions the didactic part of the workshop will address ideas about organizing patterns and meaning making between parents that are often expressed in the dysregulation of the autonomic nervous system in adults and children. The lecture will also address the somatic symptoms of dysregulation as a way to return to autonomic balance so family closeness can develop. The dynamics of attachment, empathic mirroring and attunement, and boundary negotiation will be addressed in order for parents and families to grow both in terms of family closeness and the individuation of family members, without sacrificing one for the other. The experiential part of the workshop, with the focus on both implicit and explicit communication, will help students acquire tools to help families develop new organizing patterns of relating. By using various sensory modalities the experiential exercises will enhance students’ self-awareness in a relational context and will develop their ability to negotiate individual differences including cultural, sexual, and gender differences.

	PSY-5210E: Black Woman’s Psyche An Exploration Into Complexity This workshop focuses on the ways in which psychotherapists are consciously and unconsciously aware of their relationship to and with Black women, defined here as women who claim a racial, cultural or ethnic identity linked to the African diaspora. Thus, this definition recognizes that Black women’s identities and corresponding psyches are not universal. Rather, there exists a complex-and often complicated-way in which these women are recognized and understood by themselves as well as by the broader society. The workshop explores the distinctions between archetypal representations and social stereotypes, as well as cultural complexes, shadow presentations and defense mechanisms frequently associated with the Black woman’s psyche. Through interactive experiences, discussion, self reflection and writing, the workshop aims to increase participant’s understanding of their own values and beliefs as they relate to Black women. The class will help delineate best practices for establishing a strong therapeutic alliance, whether inter-culturally or intra-culturally. Therefore, this workshop seeks to increase key skills and knowledge necessary quality psychotherapy for Black women. Min.

	PSY-5240A: Nurturing the Nurturer Self-Care Techniques to Prevent Burnout for Clinical Therapists This workshop is designed for students currently in clinical training, or prior to clinical training. Burnout can be a significant issue amongst psychology graduate students in clinical training. Skills learned will be to identify symptoms of burnout, such as emotional exhaustion, depersonalization of clients, and loss of feeling personal accomplishment. Burnout can also be marked by increased cynicism towards clients, a loss of motivation towards one’s current training and future career, and can possibly impact one’s overall self-concept and self-efficacy. This course considers the stressors of clinical training, including the potential emotional impact of being a new trainee, finding balance between clinical practice, school, and personal life, one-way intimacy with clients, countertransference and vicarious traumatization. Self-care will be thoroughly explored by looking at the six self-care domains: social, cognitive, behavioral, physical, spiritual and occupational, including an introduction to Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). This course serves as an elective for Spiritual and Depth Psychology (SDP) and Conflict and Other Related Trauma (CRT). Min.
