Audio-tape "Brief Treatment of the Personality Disorder Client: The Possible and the Impossible." Clients with personality disorders have the uncanny ability to identify the therapist's unique vulnerabilities faster than the therapist will diagnose the personality disorder. Due to the ego-syntonic nature of the client's symptoms, therapists invariably find themselves struggling with countertransference reactions in the midst of the treatment. In addition, most experts suggest effective treatment of these clients is a long-term proposition at best, while managed care provides limited benefits. In this course you will learn to determine long-term and short-term treatment plan goals for these clients. Course can be taught as a one-day or a two-day class. Motivational Interviewing Motivational interviewing is the state-of-the-art technology for treatment of addictive behavior disorders. The conceptual framework in motivational interviewing reframes denial as ambivalence, redefines confrontation and emphasizes the use of motivational strategies designed to resolve ambivalence impasses. Based on the work of William Miller and Stephen Rollnick. Can be taught as an introductory one-day or the skills-building three-day class.

Class is based on videotape practice and critique. Maximum enrollment: 12. The Practice of Clinical Supervision Clinical supervision is the process that ensures your agency's vision is implemented with a high degree of fidelity. Unless clinical staff deliver an integrated, cohesive model of treatment, uneven outcomes can result. Uneven outcomes are what you cannot afford in today's health care environment. This three-day skills-training workshop trains clinical supervisors in the eleven core knowledge and skills competencies that characterize effective supervision. Advanced Group Counseling Skills This three-day, intermediate-advanced skills-based training focuses on helping group leaders develop the skills and conceptual framework needed to elegantly manage different aspects of group process including identification of overt and covert agendas operating at any time in the life of the group; how to surface covert agendas that interfere with the group's task, dealing with difficult people, activation of the here-and-now experience of the group, and how to manage conflict through the group process. This is an experiential workshop in which members rotate as group leaders and as members of a group. DSM IV Although the structure of DSM IV remains unaltered, most clinicians are unaware of the surprising number of substantive changes in this new edition. This two-day course helps students navigate through the seventeen major diagnostic categories of DSM, including changes in the multiaxial system, the differential decision trees, and the Appendix B categories.
