Psychology and Spirituality: How to Help Your Clients and Heal the Human Psyche: Frederick ,MD August 8, 2009 8:00AM to 3:30PM

For generations we have witnessed a deepening rift between science and spirituality. This has been felt most acutely in the realm of psychology and spirituality, because both attempt to deal with the healing of the human person. Many people feel confronted with a choice between their religious sensibilities and the medical model of mental health. As a result, emotional healing is often polarized as though the only options are, on the one hand, a behavioral/scientific model, and on the other, a spiritual model sometimes viewed as the domain of the clergy. With recent insights emerging from the Jungian, Transpersonal, Integral and 12-step models, it is becoming more apparent that this arbitrary separation in our understanding could not be further from the truth. Lasting healing in an individual might only occur when his/her psychological and spiritual health is understood to be one. It is becoming apparent that long-term mental and emotional health requires more than a temporary reduction in symptoms. What seems to be required is a higher consciousness from which a larger sense of self can be derived. When we consider that the root meaning of the Greek word, "psyche," is soul, this truth becomes more self-evident.

Emergency Mental Health: Assessment and Treatment:
Alexandria July20, 2009, 8:00AM to 3:30PM
Mental health emergencies occur daily. They present themselves in emergency rooms nationwide. They present themselves in schools, primary care offices, jails, the workplace, churches and most anywhere. The majority of people who commit suicide see their primary care physician during the month prior to their death; however, the symptoms of the suicidal patient are often overlooked. Many have spoken with pastors, counselors or others about their despair. Learning to assess and appropriately intervene can often prevent the patient from attempting suicide. School counselors, managers and others often encounter the chemically dependent or violent individual. Law enforcement personnel often encounter persons with bizarre behavior and those under the influence of drugs and alcohol. Learning to recognize the symptoms of mental health emergencies and how to address them is often vital to the safety of the individual and others.
In this hands-on and practical seminar, participants will learn how to quickly assess and triage mental health emergencies. Information will be provided on performing suicide and homicide risk assessments, mental status examinations and evaluation of the need for detoxification. Mr. Webb will discuss recognizing likely diagnoses based on knowledge of the patient's psychotropic medications. Other topics will include the practitioner's liability regarding emergency mental health, including the practitioner's duty to warn and protect per the Tarasoff court case. The value of "contracts for safety" will also be discussed. Involuntary commitment, inpatient and outpatient treatment criteria will be discussed in relation to both your state’s statutes and third party payment.
