Cut through the hype about bipolar disorder. This
seminar brings up-to-date evidence to the practical level: treating clients.
How do the DSM-5® changes affect diagnosis of bipolar disorders? Is the
“bipolar spectrum” represented? We will use case examples to incorporate the
DSM-5® changes in your diagnostic process without getting caught up in the
details. This includes routinely assessing and documenting – simply and efficiently
– bipolar markers that do not appear in the DSM®, to make your diagnoses
rigorous and reliable.
The time has come for psychotherapy to stand
alongside medication approaches in the routine treatment of bipolar disorder.
We will review “chronotherapy”, Social Rhythm therapy, and several
PsychoEducation techniques that you can immediately apply with clients. The
controversial role of antidepressants in treatment of bipolar depression, and
the role of therapists in guiding patients toward non-medication and “natural”
treatments” will complete this tour through Bipolar Controversies. Dr. Phelps
will help you practice (safely) the use of these techniques and tools in a
lively day of laughter and learning. You will emerge enthused and ready to use
at least three new approaches with patients the very next day.

"Integrating
Mindfulness into Psychotherapy Practice" 3-Hour CE Training
Presenter, Mary VanDevanter is a licensed
clinical social worker, psychotherapist and trauma and grief specialist with a
private psychotherapy practice in Alexandria, VA. Over the past 20 years, Ms.
VanDevanter has provided on-site grief and post-trauma debriefing to
international, national and local organizations in the aftermath of terrorist
attacks, kidnapping, natural disasters and violence. Additionally, she provides
training and consultation in leadership development and organizational
improvement to federal agencies, local government agencies and private
industry. Ms. VanDevanter has practiced meditation since 1981 and is a teacher
in the Vipassana tradition with Insight Meditation Community of Washington. She
teaches weekly mindfulness classes in Falls Church, VA. Ms. VanDevanter
provides supervision for clinicians seeking to deepen their practice of
mindfulness-based psychotherapy techniques.
Program Description:
Mindfulness-based psychotherapy teaches clients with depression and mild anxiety to familiarize themselves with the thoughts and emotions that characterize those conditions, and then through mindfulness training, develop a different relationship to them. In this seminar, we will explore how the practice of mindful awareness provides the opportunity to understand mild fluctuations in mood as normal. This awareness helps to interrupt the cycles of thoughts, emotions and behaviors that might otherwise spiral into clinical depression. Thoughts and emotions are seen as transient events rather than facts, thus promoting the ability to dis-identify from the narrative of depression, and to see oneself as whole rather than broken. Our time together will include a combination of didactic and experiential learning, thus enabling clinicians to experience for themselves some of the distinct advantages of working with clients in this unique and empowering way.
