PSY-5250Z: Rinzai Zen Mindfulness & Stress Reduction (SDP) The intersection between contemporary psychology and classical Buddhist ideas about the mind and mindfulness have been an area of considerable interest over the last decade. Interventions that grow out of classical Buddhist approaches (including Zen meditation) continue to grow in popularity. For instance, Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy has become the treatment of choice for prevention of recurrent depression in Great Britain (http://oxfordmindfulness.org/). In the United States many universities and medical schools, including University of Massachusetts and University of Pennsylvania, have created mindfulness-based stress reduction programs. This workshop will return to the source material for these interventions by exploring a new technique that grows directly out of classical Japanese mindfulness. It will focus on a contemporary applications of classical Zen mindfulness principles as a tool for stress reduction as developed by Takafumi Kawakami, Vice-Abbot of the Shunkoin Temple in Kyoto. Shunkoin is affiliated with the Rinzai School of Buddhism. Rinzai mindfulness practice can include reflecting upon koans (paradoxical questions or statements), samu (physical work done mindfully) and zazen (seated meditation). The day will focus on zazen practice.

PSY-5290: Feminist Theories in Psychology Applica tion in Clinical Practice Current research and empirical investigations have shown that women-identified clients in the U.S. use psychotherapy and psychological services significantly more than their male peers. Further, the American Psychological Association (APA) has established non-sexist practice as part of its ethical guidelines and standards for practitioners (APA, 2002). This higher utilization of therapy by women and gender-nonconforming clients and call for gender-affirmative practice indicate the need for therapists and counselors: (a) to understand psychological issues that affect women in particular, (b) to become knowledgeable about feminist principles and practices which, by definition, include an examination of the social, political, and cultural contexts of women, and (c) to broaden their knowledge base to include feminist perspectives on psychological theory, intervention, and client populations of women in order to become more effective therapists. The purpose of this course is to introduce students to contemporary feminist theory and the impact that feminist thought has had on psychology. Students will develop an understanding of the varieties of feminist thought, the psychology of gender, issues of power and privilege, and feminist models of assessment, counseling and psychotherapy.

PSY-5330M: Child Parent Psychotherapy (CPP) An Evidence-Based Treatment for Young Children (CS) Childhood is a time when children’s central nervous system is developing at rates that never again will occur in their lives. Experience shapes a child’s brain and stress response systems. Learning self-regulation is a developmental task of early childhood and infants and young children attain social and developmental tasks in context of relationships. When infants and young children are exposed to trauma, it impacts a child’s cognitive, social and emotional development. Especially impacted is a child’s capacity to regulate their own emotions. Children exposed to trauma are often left with sense of being unprotected and not worthy of protection, which causes disruptions of internal working model of the self and the caregivers. This workshop will assist students in developing an understanding of how trauma impacts cognitive, social and emotional development of a child when exposed to trauma. It will provide an overview of Child Parent Psychotherapy (CPP), an evidenced based treatment for children, birth to five, exposed to trauma.

PSY-5431: The Psychology of Adoption Adoption is a family building event that has a lifelong impact on each member of the adoption constellation: birth family, adoptive family and adoptee. There are distinct developmental, neurobiological, psychological and social/cultural/environmental implications for this population that mental health clinicians will face at social service agencies, community clinics and in private practice settings. Few graduate level clinical psychology programs include modules on diagnosis and treatment of this group, while child and adolescent adoptees are recipients of mental health services at a significantly higher percentage than the general population. The intention of this one-day class is to contextualize psychological approaches through an adoption lens; to increase students’ skills to accurately assess clinical issues that adoptees and their families may face; and learn appropriate therapeutic interventions to meet those needs from a strength-based, culturally competent framework.

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.

PSY-5670B: Introduction to Play Therapy This workshop is designed to introduce students to an experiential model of play therapy. This model is a culturally relevant and universally useful model, as the child’s play is witnessed through the universal language of symbolism and metaphor. The healing and resolution of the child’s problems are resolved through the experience of play. Children naturally approach therapy as a level of play. This model uses the intrinsic task of play to access therapeutic healing benefits. Students will become familiar with the concepts and theory of the experiential model, understand the implications of therapeutic play and the role of the clinician throughout the play process as the clinician implements interventions and promotes healing and resolution of presenting issues.

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. Researchers have investigated not only what makes people resilient but what characteristics and conditions enable people to come through healing and end up wiser, stronger, more fulfilled, and with a deeper meaning to their lives than they had before trauma event. This course provides an overview of the theory and research of individuals’ positive reactions to trauma–often called trauma transformation, self-reinvention, positive life change, posttraumatic growth (PTG), stress-related growth (SRG) or self-transcendence.

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 Tar geting 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
