“25th Annual Cape Cod Summer Symposia”
|
June 16 to August 22, 2008 |
|
Cape Cod, Massachusetts |
The Annual Cape Cod Symposia spans the summer season at spectacular Cape Cod on a peninsula that is the southeastern tip of Massachusetts. Three distinct symposia are offered during each of the ten weeks. Participants choose to attend one of three possible symposia offered during each set of dates.
|
|
“Brain Imaging for the Mental Health Professional”
J. Douglas Bremner, M.D.
|
June 16 – 20, 2008 |
|
Cape Cod, MA |
This symposium will review methods of brain imaging as they apply to the mental health field. Participants will learn to apply research findings from brain imaging to the areas of depression, schizophrenia, childhood onset disorders, mood and anxiety disorders, addiction, and personality disorders. They will learn how brain imaging relates to neurological disorders and how to utilize brain imaging for differential diagnosis. Finally, participants will learn how to apply brain imaging to pharmacological treatment.

“Winning the Anxiety Game: Brief Strategic Treatment for the Anxiety Disorders”
Reid Wilson, Ph.D. |
June 16 – 20, 2008 |
Cape Cod, MA |
Anxiety disorders manipulate people by injecting rules into consciousness, then using that set of laws to take over mental territory. Five anxiety disorders – phobias, panic, social anxiety, generalized anxiety and OCD – control people by generating an absolute standard for certainty and comfort.
This brief strategic approach to cognitive-behavioral therapy helps clients find the courage and motivation to challenge their old beliefs and attitudes. Practical methods enable clients to ignore the content of their obsessive worries and to explore the feeling of uncertainty rather than fleeing from it.
|
|
“Silent and Invisible: Working with Men’s Inner Lives”
Michael Addis, Ph.D. |
June 16 – 20, 2008 |
Cape Cod, MA |
This symposium will address a variety of theories, concepts, and clinical strategies for working with men. Using theory and current research, Dr. Addis will present an overall framework for thinking about the variety of different ways men experience, express, and respond to depression, anxiety, and other problems. By becoming mindful of how cultures of masculinity influence men’s well-being, participants will learn to recognize barriers to treatment, and also to capitalize on opportunities for engaging men in the therapy process. Participants will learn specific clinical strategies for working with men using a gender-based motivational interviewing (GBMI) approach. This approach has been developed by Dr. Addis and his colleagues as part of the Men’s Coping Project, an NIMH funded study of methods for enhancing men’s motivation to seek and stay in treatment.
|
|
“Self-Compassion in Clinical Practice”
Christopher Germer, Ph.D. & Kristin Neff, Ph.D. |
June 23 – 27, 2008 |
Cape Cod, MA |
Clinicians often wonder how they can help their patients feel less vulnerable between sessions - how to make therapy “rub off”. The art of self-compassion is a form of a portable, therapeutic relationship that can be taught and learned. This symposium is a week-long journey into self-compassion, weaving lecture, meditation, case examples, demonstration, and discussion. Participants will learn 1) how self-compassion fits into the new field of mindfulness and acceptance-based treatment, 2) techniques for cultivating self-compassion, 3) clinical applications, and 4) self-care strategies.
|
|
“Update On Psychopharmacotherapy and Relevant Device-Based Therapies”
Philip Janicak, M.D. |
June 23 – 27, 2008 |
Cape Cod, MA |
This symposium will review recent clinical trial results and use this information to develop optimal treatment strategies for the major psychiatric disorders.
The objectives of the symposium are for participants to 1) recognize the significant number of patients who are insufficiently responsive to initial therapeutic interventions, and 2) utilize available biological treatments optimally, including the first and second generation antipsychotics, antidepressants, mood stabilizing agents, anxiolytic/sedative hypnotics and device-based therapies. Upon completion of this symposium, participants will be able to develop treatment strategies based on the results of randomized-controlled, pragmatic and naturalistic trials tempered by the realities of clinical practice and to describe clinically relevant issues related to drug therapy, including pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and drug interactions.
|
|
“Substance Abuse and Dual Diagnosis: New Treatment Approaches”
Roger Weiss, M.D. |
June 23 – 27, 2008 |
Cape Cod, MA |
Alcohol and drug abuse are among the most common clinical disorders that present clinicians with significant challenges. Moreover, many patients with psychiatric illness have coexisting substance abuse problems, making the treatment of these dually diagnosed patients particularly difficult. The objective of this symposium is for participants to apply new therapeutic approaches based on recent research findings to patients with substance abuse and dual diagnosis problems. Clinical techniques to help engage ambivalent or unmotivated patients early in treatment will be emphasized.
|
|
“Advances in Psychopharmacology and Instrumental Treatments”
Steven Dubovsky, M.D. |
June 30 – July 4, 2008 |
Cape Cod, MA |
This symposium will provide participants with a state-of-the-art review of the scientific basis for and the practical use of modern psychopharmacological and related therapies. New established treatments and promising experimental therapies will be discussed. Because most of our patients do not have the kinds of uncomplicated conditions that are usually studied in multicenter clinical trials, participants will learn how to interpret data about new treatments that are derived from these trials. Since most complex and refractory disorders require combinations of treatments, participants will gain a clear understanding of how to combine treatments and what kinds of positive and negative interactions to look for. The emphasis throughout the week will be on real-life treatment, with opportunities to discuss difficult cases.
|
|
“Mindfulness and Psychotherapy: Liberating the Mind from Unhappiness”
Sylvia Boorstein, L.C.S.W., Ph.D. |
June 30 – July 4, 2008 |
Cape Cod, MA |
The Mindfulness Sutta, the Buddha’s instructions for mindfulness meditation, promises liberation from “grief and lamentation.” Buddhist psychology posits that happiness depends on the ongoing presence in the mind of both composure and keen discernment so that the inevitable challenges of life can be met with wisdom and compassion. This seminar will teach participants to identify afflictive emotions as the result of challenge rather than moral failures and assist them in attenuating those emotions through wisdom and compassion. Mental techniques for regaining natural wisdom and compassion will be presented as the key to healing. |
|
“Child and Adolescent Disorders:
Diagnostic Issues, Causal Factors, and State-of-the-Art Interventions”
Stephen Hinshaw, Ph.D. |
June 30 – July 4, 2008 |
Cape Cod, MA |
This symposium will address key issues related to developmental psychopathology including temperament, attachment, heritability, continuity, comorbidity, and parenting styles. Major classes of child and adolescent disorders: externalizing/disruptive disorders, Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), Conduct Disorder (CD), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anxiety and mood disorders, and pervasive developmental disorders (PDD) will be examined intensely. Specific emphasis will be placed on symptoms, impairment, gender and ethnic differences, risk and causal factors, long-term course, and evidence-based treatment strategies. The objectives of this symposium are for participants to be able to describe the principles of developmental psychopathology, the core features of the major child and adolescent disorders, and strategies for effective intervention. |
|
“Spirituality and Care of the Soul in Psychotherapy”
Thomas Moore, Ph.D. |
July 7 - 11, 2008 |
Cape Cod, MA |
Whether you are a mental health or medical professional, your main job is to heal wounded hearts, minds, and bodies. This symposium focuses on the calling to help people in physical, emotional, and spiritual trouble. It includes models of the healer from the world's religions, mythology, literature, and film. It explores biographies of men and women who were and are effective doctors, nurses, and counselors. From all these sources, it establishes an idea of the very nature of healing and ways of becoming an effective healer. Participants will learn how Jesus Christ, the Lapis Lazuli Radiant Buddha, Asklepios, Buffalo Woman, Bridgit of Ireland, and African figures of myth offer deep insight into healing. Participants will view filmed interviews of healers, and examine poetry, fiction, and the visual arts in order to obtain a complete picture of the qualities needed to be a healer. The “shadow” side of being a counselor or medical professional –– problems of eros, power, money, belief, insecurity, and burn-out –– will also be addressed. |
|
| |
“Clinical Psychopharmacology: Overview and Recent Advances”
Ross Baldessarini, M.D. |
July 7 - 11, 2008 |
Cape Cod, MA |
Dr. Baldessarini’s symposium will review the current status of psychotropic drug treatment of major mental illnesses with an emphasis on the research base on which sound practice should rest. Participants will learn an integration of preclinical and clinical research findings and relate these to principles of informed clinical practice designed to optimize treatment effectiveness and safety. Participants will learn an updated view of the chemical nature of agents in each class, their major actions, metabolism and pharmacokinetics, clinical uses for acute and long-term treatment, special application in pediatric and geriatric practice, risks and adverse effects, and emerging advances in new and experimental treatments.
|
|
“From Death to Birth: Using Filmclips to Examine the Intersection of Human Biopsychosocial Development and Mental Disorders”
Fritz Engstrom, M.D. |
July 7 - 11, 2008 |
Cape Cod, MA |
Popular movies offer rich material that clinicians and teachers can use to present core issues related to human development and life cycle crises. Well chosen scenes allow students, patients, and professionals to simultaneously share with each other and the characters. Movies also provide an active medium to understand psychological conflicts and treatment considerations. Watching 60 film clips over five days, we will move backwards through human development. We will engage in a spirited discussion of how mental illness and developmental issues interact. Participants will learn how to find and use film clips in both therapeutic and educational settings. |
|
“Resilience Across the Lifespan: Strength-Based Strategies To Nurture Balance,
Self-Discipline, and Hope in Ourselves and Others”
Robert Brooks, Ph.D. |
July 14 - 18, 2008 |
Cape Cod, MA |
As professionals, we must manage our own feelings of stress and burnout as we attempt to bring meaning to our lives and the lives of others. In this symposium, Dr. Brooks will describe interventions rooted in a strength-based framework for nurturing a “resilient mindset”, including the attributes of self-dignity, responsibility, compassion, and hope for both patients and professionals. Symposium participants will learn: techniques for enhancing empathy and our own “stress hardiness”; the components of motivation, emotional intelligence, and a “resilient mindset”; the importance of identifying and reinforcing “islands of competence”; how to change “negative scripts” and “negative mindsets” and how to promote change in oneself and others.
|
|
“Schema Therapy for Couples: New Strategies To Break Therapeutic Impasses”
Jeffrey Young, Ph.D. & Travis Atkinson, M.S.W. |
July 14 - 18, 2008 |
Cape Cod, MA |
Schema therapy (ST) is an integrative therapy, blending cognitive-behavioral techniques with attachment theory, emotion-focused strategies, and psychodynamic concepts. This intensive workshop will teach participants to apply the innovative strategies of ST to difficult couple’s cases. Unlike most models of couples work that emphasize generic skills training, ST concentrates on the active identification and resolution of core clashes, unique to each couple, that operate at a deeper, schema level.
In this symposium, participants will learn: the ST conceptual model; how to identify a couple’s core clashes; to link clashes with each partner’s unique schemas and coping modes; to teach partners strategies for recognizing, accepting, and de-activating both their own and their partner’s schemas; to de-escalate schema clashes to “reparent” each other; and to move from dysfunctional, angry and detached modes to more healthy, vulnerable modes.

“Zen and the Heart of Psychotherapy”
Robert Rosenbaum, Ph.D. |
July 14 - 18, 2008 |
Cape Cod, MA |
| In these days of empirically validated treatments, even meditation is becoming one more goal-oriented technique. The keen edge of psychotherapy, though, is like the empty hub of Zen practice: it is not about accomplishment, but about being. There is a paradox here: whether you are a client or therapist, the more you aim at some specific image of how therapy ought to turn out, the more you will miss it. When psychotherapy allows itself to breathe - when, like Zen practice, it aims at nothing special, nothing beyond saying “yes” to this moment as it is - then there is room for the pathways of the heart to find themselves.
To help our clients, we must refine not our techniques but ourselves. This is simple but not easy, since it requires the courage to let go of preconceived ideas and be open to what is immediately before us. Accordingly, this workshop's fundamental objective is to enable participants to cultivate a therapeutic climate for a renewed increase in wonder. Drawing on the playfulness and rigor of Zen tradition, we will focus on the specifics of the thousands of small acts - universal to all therapists, regardless of theoretical orientation - that comprise everyday therapy. We will explore methods of “letting go” and “opening up” to deepen our level of physical comfort in how we hold ourselves while working with a client. Our aim is to create a frame for psychotherapy based on the Buddhist four heavenly fields of acceptance, compassion, kindness, and joy.
There will also be an optional introduction to Dayan (“Wild Goose”) Qigong every morning before the symposium. |
|
“Radical Acceptance: Buddhist Practices for Healing Shame and Fear”
Tara Brach, Ph.D. |
July 21 - 25, 2008 |
Cape Cod, MA |
Much of human suffering is rooted in the conviction that we are fundamentally flawed, and therefore unlovable. Especially in the West, the experience of personal deficiency fuels addiction and prevents us from taking risks and discovering intimacy in our lives. The practices of Radical Acceptance, which are drawn from Buddhist training in mindfulness and compassion, directly de-condition what Dr. Brach has termed the “trance of unworthiness.”
Through lecture, discussion, guided meditations, and experiential exercises, symposium participants will explore how Buddhist meditation can help us to identify and make peace with negative self-judgments, shame, and fear. Participants can use these awareness practices to expand their clinical skills and deepen clients’ capacity to meet painful experience with clarity and kindness. As Radical Acceptance becomes a part of daily living, we discover our basic goodness: a natural wakefulness and tenderness that is our true essence. |
|
“Transforming Difficult Clinical Gremlins: Reaching the People Beneath the Diagnoses”
Shawn Shea, M.D. |
July 21 - 25, 2008 |
Cape Cod, MA |
This symposium will provide clinicians with a variety of innovative treatment strategies and interviewing techniques for transforming many of the most problematic clinical gremlins facing clinicians in the hectic arenas of everyday care. Traditionally daunting clinical tasks such as unstalling stalled treatment planning, uncovering hidden suicidal ideation, spotting dangerous psychotic process, gracefully exploring our client's spirituality, transforming medication nonadherence, and avoiding our own burn-out will be approached in a fresh and refreshing fashion.
Dr. Shea uses his highly acclaimed model of human nature - the human matrix - to provide a unifying approach for all of the above tasks, while helping clinicians understand both their client's quest for happiness and their own as it resonates in the treatment alliance. Participants will learn how to apply the matrix model to the nuances, pain, and unique qualities of the people beneath their diagnoses, showing how this knowledge helps match both their words and their interventions to the unique needs of each client. |
|
“Evidence-Based Mental Health Care”
Robert Drake, M.D., Ph.D. |
July 21 - 25, 2008 |
Cape Cod, MA |
As mental health develops a more robust evidence base for effective treatments, numerous questions arise about evidence-based medicine, its methods, and its applicability to mental health treatment. This symposium will address controversial issues such as the relevance of research for clinical practice, the hierarchy of evidence, the relationship between evidence-based medicine and recovery ideology, and others. It also aims to help participants build specific skills for using the methodology of evidence-based medicine: asking a question, finding the evidence, ascertaining the validity of the evidence, applying the evidence to individual patients, and using shared decision making to incorporate patient preferences. The goal is to address practical aspects of using research evidence to enhance daily clinical practice. |
|
“Therapist As a Life Coach: Transforming Your Practice”
Patrick Williams, Ed.D. |
July 28 – August 1, 2008 |
Cape Cod, MA |
This symposium has been designed to provide participants with an understanding of the theory, historical perspective, and practical methodology of the profession of personal and professional coaching and how it has evolved. This symposium will clarify the distinction between therapy and coaching. Participants will learn skills that are transferable from the field of therapy and identify skills that need to be “unlearned.” This symposium has been designed for participants who would like to further understand the field of coaching and how they may incorporate it into their practice, or evolve their practice into one entirely focused on coaching. Live coaching and video demonstrations, audio sessions, practical experience, and interactive worksheets will be utilized extensively to illustrate coaching principles and techniques. |
|
“Empowerment and Recovery for Trauma Survivors”
Judith Herman, M.D. |
July 28 – August 1, 2008 |
Cape Cod, MA |
Trauma destroys the social systems of care, protection, and meaning that support human life. The essential features of psychological trauma are disempowerment and disconnection from others. The recovery process, therefore, is based on empowerment of the survivor and restoration of relationships. This symposium will review the long-term sequelae of prolonged and repeated trauma and delineate the complex symptoms frequently seen in patients with a traumatic history. The principles upon which a collaborative therapeutic alliance may be established and a staged approach to the treatment of trauma survivors will be outlined. |
|
“The Neuroscience of Human Relationships:
Attachment and the Developing Social Brain”
Louis Cozolino, Ph.D. |
July 28 – August 1, 2008 |
Cape Cod, MA |
Interpersonal neurobiology is an interdisciplinary study of human experience that draws from findings in the fields of developmental psychology, evolution, attachment, neuroscience, psychotherapy, and social psychology. It attempts to understand the connection between mind, brain and body in each of us, and to recognize how we come together to collectively create the organism we call the human species. Participants will learn how to incorporate an interpersonal neurobiological viewpoint into their perceptions of themselves and others by reviewing and connecting findings from many different fields. By relating clinical case material to recent scientific findings, participants will be able to describe both the relevance and the utility of the interpersonal neurobiological perspective as a theoretical and clinical tool.
|
|
“Child and Adolescent Mental Health: Updates in Interventions”
Andres Martin, M.D., M.P.H. |
August 4 - 8, 2008 |
Cape Cod, MA |
This symposium will provide participants with a comprehensive overview of the major forms of mental illness in childhood and adolescence. Clinical presentation, symptom identification and differential diagnosis of each of the disorders of childhood and adolescence will be discussed. Psychosocial and pharmacological treatment modalities for each of the disorders will be highlighted. This symposium will be presented in an interactive format and grounded in practical examples with video-based clinical illustrations demonstrating many of the disorders. This symposium has been developed for clinical psychologists, social workers, nurse practitioners, clinical counselors and others who are routinely involved in the care of children and adolescents with mental health vulnerabilities. |
|
“Autism and Asperger Syndrome: From Assessment to Treatment”
Michael D. Powers, Psy.D. |
August 4 – 8, 2008 |
Cape Cod, MA |
With the incidence of autism, Asperger syndrome and related pervasive developmental disorders now at 1 in 150, Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs) have become a widespread concern for mental health practitioners, educators, and parents. This symposium synthesizes current research and practice on the etiology, diagnosis, assessment, treatment, and evaluation of ASDs. Participants will learn to distinguish diagnostic issues for various ASDs, and the relationship between core neuropsychological assets and deficits to learning, social, communication, and behavioral issues that may be present from early childhood through young adulthood. The goal of this symposium is to teach mental health practitioners how to provide state-of-the-art care based on current research and understanding to support the range of needs presented by those with ASDs and their families.
|
|
“Loss, Grief and the Quest for Meaning”
Robert Neimeyer, Ph.D. |
August 4 – 8, 2008 |
Cape Cod, MA |
Long after the immediate emotional impact of a loss has faded, the death of someone close to us can disrupt the assumptions that allow us to find meaning and purpose in life. This workshop will present new evidence about the variety of pathways that people follow through bereavement, which lead either to resilience and recovery or to chronic grief and depression. Considering grief as both a biological and psychosocial process will prepare participants to identify signs of traumatic loss and complicated, prolonged grief and to understand their risks to physical and mental health. By conceptualizing the ways in which survivors' basic life narratives are disrupted by death, participants will also learn methods that will enable them to listen beneath the stories that clients tell about their loss, and reveal clients' resources to restore their stability and future growth.
|
|
“Positive Psychology: Practical Applications in Clinical Work”
Bill O'Hanlon, M.S., L.M.F.T |
August 11 – 15, 2008 |
Cape Cod, MA |
Positive Psychology is one of the newest and most important developments in the field of psychology. It offers an understanding of the development of human happiness and life satisfaction with research-based clinical work that results in measurable increases in individual happiness. This symposium will offer participants an understanding of the empirically-based research of Positive Psychology and methods of doing therapy that derive from this research. Participants will learn how to apply research findings about forgiveness, gratitude, optimism, spirituality, resilience and altruism to their clinical work.
|
|
“Child and Adolescent Psychopathology: A Life-Span Treatment Approach”
Donald Meichenbaum, Ph.D. |
August 11 – 15, 2008 |
Cape Cod, MA |
This symposium will examine child and adolescent psychopathology from a life-span perspective. Most forms of externalizing aggressive behavioral disorders and internalizing anxiety and depressive disorders begin in childhood and adolescence. Participants will learn how to 1) use a Life-Span Case Conceptualization Model in order to track the developmental trajectory of both child and adolescent externalizing and/or internalizing disorders; 2) conduct empirically-based multifaceted psychosocial interventions and preventative procedures that combine clinical, parent, school and community-based interventions; and 3) tailor interventions to address issues of gender differences and victimization experiences in both a developmentally and culturally sensitive fashion.
|
|
“New Developments in the Treatment of Victimized Individuals:
Treating PTSD and Complex PTSD”
Donald Meichenbaum, Ph.D.
|
August 18 – 22, 2008 |
Cape Cod, MA |
Research indicates that 50% of psychiatric patients have a history of victimization that is often overlooked in assessment and treatment efforts. In this workshop, Dr. Meichenbaum will highlight recent developments in the treatment of patients with PTSD and Complex PTSD. He will consider the assessment and treatment implications of neuroscience research from a life-span perspective; highlight ways to provide integrated treatments in a culturally sensitive fashion with patients with comorbid disorders and address ways to treat patients for whom guilt, shame, and complicated grief are present. Participants will learn how to conduct evidence-based trauma-focused CBT and spiritually-oriented psychotherapy with children, adolescents, and adults. |
|
“Mindfulness, Radical Acceptance, and Willingness:
Integrating DBT Skills into Clinical Practice”
Marsha Linehan, Ph.D. and Sona Dimidjian, Ph.D. ”
|
August 18 – 22, 2008 |
Cape Cod, MA |
Mindfulness skills have emerged as an important focus of several empirically supported treatments. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) for borderline personality disorder, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy for depression, mindfulness-based stress reduction and mindful meditation as part of drug addiction treatment are but a few examples. The roots of mindfulness practice are in the contemplative practices common to both eastern and western spiritual disciplines. These disciplines are being brought together by emerging scientific knowledge about the benefits of “allowing” experiences rather than suppressing or avoiding them. Mindfulness in its totality is the quality of awareness that a person brings to everyday living. As a set of skills, mindfulness practice is the intentional process of observing, describing, and participating in reality non-judgmentally, in the moment, and with effectiveness. This symposium will present an overview of these specific skills, and strategies for how to integrate them into clinical practice.
