(CANCELED) - Best Practices: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Suicide (USA 2020)
2020-04-23 08:15 - 2020-04-24 16:15 (America/Chicago) | Laird Center for Medical Research at MCHS, 1000 North Oak Avenue, Marshfield, WI, 54449, United States
Due to COVID 19 restrictions, Marshfield Clinic Health System has cancelled The Behavioral Health Conference featuring Best Practices: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Suicide.
MARSHFIELD, WISCONSIN – 2 day workshop by Christine A. Padesky, PhD
CANCELLED – Best Practices: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Suicide
Although “best practices” always include some familiar practices, this workshop is designed to enhance skills for therapists at all experience levels. It emphasizes strategies to manage common obstacles encountered by therapists working with suicidal clients. Even the most experienced therapists can benefit from learning nuanced applications of interventions to improve therapy outcomes. Join us for this state of the art workshop that reveals a wealth of “Best Practices in CBT for Suicide.”
OBJECTIVESUpon conclusion of this activity, participants will be able to:

REVIEW how to use a structured interview to assess suicide risk
IDENTIFY and strengthen reasons for living
CONSTRUCT individualized safety plans
EXPLAIN how to incorporate client strengths into treatment
REVIEW how to guide clients in the creation of coping cards
PRACTICE building hope using a “hope kit”
IDENTIFY and “spoil” suicidal imagery
DEVELOP positive future imagery
FORMULATE a suicide relapse management planConstruct individualized safety plans

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
Therapists report greater anxiety about client suicide than any other clinical challenge. Unfortunately, anxiety tends to foster avoidance. Therefore, many therapists avoid asking in-depth questions about suicidal intent and do not learn how to effectively implement the detailed inquiries and interventions that are shown to decrease suicide risk. This workshop is designed to increasetherapist confidence and ability to successfully address suicide in clinical practice.
All therapists need to have a high level of skill in assessment of suicide risk. Participants in this workshop will be able to apply evidence-based methods for suicide assessment and implement interventions that can lower suicide risk, reduce suicide attempts, and increase client safety. Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) methods taught include use of Jobes’ structured Suicide Status Forminterview and a variety of creative cognitive and behavioral suicide interventions derived from the work of Aaron T. Beck’s suicide prevention team: identifying and strengthening reasons for living, development of safety plans, use of coping cards, construction of a “hope kit,” and methods for working with suicidal imagery.
To enhance learning, participants observe skillful live demonstrations by Dr. Padesky and then try out best practice methods in role plays and guided exercises. Detailed handouts include key forms to help sustain learning post-workshop. While suicide is a serious topic, this workshop is designed to be engaging and uplifting. It provides an evidence-based foundation for therapist practice so you can honestly communicate positive therapy expectations to your suicidal clients.
It is encouraging that each decade brings fresh knowledge and new findings to advance the successful treatment of suicide. Although “best practices” always include some familiar practices, this workshop is designed to enhance skills for therapists at all experience levels. It emphasizes strategies to manage common obstacles encountered by therapists working with suicidal clients.Even the most experienced therapists can benefit from learning nuanced applications of interventions to improve therapy outcomes. Join us for this state of the art workshop that reveals a wealth of “Best Practices in CBT for Suicide.”

BERLIN, GERMANY – INVITED ADDRESS by Christine A. Padesky, PhD, at the 9th World Congress for Behavioural and Cognitive Therapies
This is a must attend event. Over 4,000 delegates from 80 countries are registered to attend the World Congress. Held at the CityCube in Berlin.
TITLE OF INVITED ADDRESS: Action, Dialogue & Discovery: Reflections on Socratic Questioning 25 Years Later
DATE and TIME of Padesky’s Address: Thursday, July 18, 2019 @ 12:00 – 1:00 pm
Keynote Presenter: Christine A. Padesky, PhD
Keynote Description:
Today’s keynote summarizes the evolution of my thinking about Socratic methods over the past 25 years. The original 4-stage model of Socratic questioning is intact but we now emphasize its collaborative and interactive nature by calling it Socratic dialogue. Discovery is still the ultimate goal but the nature of these discoveries has expanded over the decades. In addition to examining existing beliefs, we now employ Socratic dialogue in the context of action therapy methods to identify strengths, guide development of new beliefs and behaviours, and inject greater potential for discovery into practical self-help exercises.
Socratic questioning, now called Socratic dialogue, is no longer a chair-bound, predominantly cognitive intervention. Instead, it is most effective when paired with action-packed therapy methods such as behavioural experiments, role plays, imagery, and interactive writing. Pairing these action methods with Socratic dialogue increases engagement, elicits here and now data, and ensures discoveries are more memorable.
One of the most frequently downloaded papers from our website is my first keynote address, delivered at the London EABCT conference in 1993 and titled, “Socratic questioning: Changing minds or guiding discovery?” It described and illustrated four stages of Socratic questioning and argued that the purpose of Socratic methods in CBT should be to guide discovery, not change minds.

CONFERENCE THEME: Cognitive and Behavioural Therapies at the Crossroads
A Description From the Organizers: The theme of this Congress is important in several ways. Firstly, CBT is evolving at a rapid pace and in many directions, such that we may well be at the crossroads in terms of maintaining a unified field of theory and practice. Secondly, the development of an integrated and comprehensive bio-psycho-social models, with which to underpin clinical practice, remains a fundamental goal. Thirdly, the variety of problems, including both mental and physical disorders, being targeted with CBT interventions by worldwide health systems are constantly expanding. Fourthly, after over half a century of progress, our field stands ready to emerge as an internationally recognized approach to tackling global health issues and must meet this challenge effectively.

What Works for Whom, and Under Which Relational Contexts (Germany 2019)
2019-07-18 08:30 - 10:00 (Europe/Berlin) | CityCube Berlin, Messedamm 26, Berlin, 14055, Germany
BERLIN, GERMANY – PANEL DISCUSSION at the 9th World Congress for Behavioural and Cognitive Therapies
This is a must attend event. Over 4,000 delegates from 80 countries are registered to attend the World Congress. Held at the CityCube in Berlin.
TITLE: “What Works for Whom, and Under Which Relational Contexts? Making Clinical Decisions at the Crossroads of Treatment and Relational Processes in the CBTs”
DATE of Panel Discussion: Thursday, July 18, 2019 from 8:30 to 10:00 am
DESCRIPTION: Advances in the science underpinning Cognitive and Behavior Therapies (CBTs) are bringing us much closer to a point of clarity regarding what works for whom, and under which relational contexts.
The next generation of research is helping us to understand:

dynamic process-outcome relations over time
client characteristics as moderators of treatment effects
causal determinants of relationship qualities
and how targeted treatment processes make a difference to an individual client’s outcome

This panel of experts will discuss these advances in science in a practitioner-friendly forum and consider how the practitioner is frequently “at the crossroads” in making decisions about processes in CBT. Audience feedback and questions will be central to shape the discussion even further.
Panelists will discuss

relational and treatment processes in CBTs
how both relational and treatment processes are important for treatment delivery
and share recommendations for training and supervision on the nested nature of relational and treatment processes
(especially how treatment processes, which are selected based on case formulation, are adapted and based on the qualities of the therapeutic relationship).

The aims of the panel are

to provide useful conceptual clarity
inspire innovative research directions
offer practical guidance for those in clinical, supervision, and training roles

In the Face of Adversity Build Resilience with Strengths-Based CBT

PRE-CONGRESS WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION

In the face of adversity, even the strongest among us sometimes find it hard to stay resilient. Some people have never felt resilient. In this workshop, Padesky & Mooney teach a 4-step protocol to help clients build a personal model of resilience (PMR). Their protocol and model are easily integrated with classic CBT approaches and other evidence-based therapies. Drawing on the principles of Strengths-Based CBT (Padesky & Mooney, 2012), six key methods are highlighted: (1) how to identify and integrate strengths into CBT, (2) guided discovery approaches used to elicit a personal model of resilience, (3) the timing and rationale for therapeutic smiling, (4) use of imagery and metaphor, (5) the importance of silence for fostering client creativity, and (6) debriefing behavioral experiments through a resiliency lens.

Clinical demonstrations, structured participant role plays, and question & answer segments clarify the theory, rationale, methods and application of a PMR. Common therapy pitfalls are identified along with recommended alternative approaches.

Together, Drs. Padesky and Mooney co-developed Strengths-based CBT (CBT-SB) Their creative partnership is at the core of all their individual, joint and collaborative work projects since 1981.

*ACTION ITEM*
Participants are strongly encouraged to download and read Padesky & Mooney’s 2012 article before attending the workshop. (CLICK HERE FOR PDF REPRINT). Greater familiarity with this material will foster increased depth of workshop learning (i.e., the more you know, the more you will learn).

KEY LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1. Identify areas of client strengths that relate to resilience
2. Practice guided discovery methods to elicit client-generated metaphors for resilience
3. Build a personal model of resilience (PMR)
4. Apply a personal model of resilience (PMR) to create win-win responses for acute and chronic life challenges

IMPLICATIONS FOR EVERYDAY CLINICAL PRACTICE OF CBT
This strengths-based approach can be integrated within all forms of evidence-based psychotherapy practice. Just a few sessions is required to boost client awareness and practice of resilience. In addition, there is evidence from pilot research (Victor, Teismann, & Willutzki, 2017) that this 4-step model to build resilience can be used as a brief (3 session) independent intervention to build resilience, self-esteem and well-being and reduce the risk of psychopathology in nonclinical populations such as university students.

Workshop Description
In the face of adversity, even the strongest among us sometimes find it hard to stay resilient. Some people have never felt resilient. In this workshop, Padesky & Mooney teach a 4-step protocol to help clients build a personal model of resilience (PMR™). Their protocol and model are easily integrated with classic CBT approaches and other evidence-based therapies.
Drawing on the principles of Strengths-Based CBT (Padesky & Mooney, 2012), three key methods are highlighted:

How to identify relevant strengths
Guided discovery approaches used to elicit and construct a personal model of resilience
Debriefing behavioral experiments using a resilience focus

This strengths-based approach can be integrated within all forms of evidence-based psychotherapy practice. Just a few sessions is required to boost client awareness and practice of resilience. In addition, there is evidence from pilot research (Victor, Teismann, & Willutzki, 2017) that this 4-step model to build resilience can be used as a brief/3 session independent intervention to build resilience, self-esteem and well-being and reduce the risk of psychopathology in nonclinical populations such as university students.

SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA
PLEASE NOTE TIME CHANGE: BEGINS 8 am. Two hour workshop program presented by Christine Padesky, PhD at the CAMFT 55th Annual Conference Advancing the Art and Science of Psychotherapy
2 HOUR WORKSHOP: Mind Over Mood: A Simple Path to Art and Science
This workshop demonstrates how the 2nd Edition of Mind Over Mood (published in 2016) reflects developments in evidence-based practice over the past two decades and how it can help therapists integrate the art and science of psychotherapy.
OBJECTIVES

DESCRIBE the TWO SKILLS with the strongest evidence supporting their helpfulness for depression
EXPLAIN why thought records are NOT a primary intervention for anxiety disorders
NAME one type of client problem that is likely to benefit from acceptance methods
DESCRIBE why it is better to use gratitude diaries weekly than daily

DESCRIPTION: Many therapists turn to self-help manuals for ideas of how to teach skills that can boost client progress. How do you artfully tailor these manuals to fit the needs of an individual client? Padesky demonstrates how to make therapy more effective by selectively matching evidence-based skills to particular client moods and using mood measures to track progress. She shows therapists how to strategically assign chapters from the 2nd Edition of Mind Over Mood (Greenberger & Padesky, 2016) which includes 60 worksheets designed to help clients learn skills drawn from CBT, mindfulness, positive psychology, acceptance therapies, and happiness research.

2018 VANCOUVER, CANADA – two day / 11 hour workshop
A new “Show Me” workshop presented this fall by Christine Padesky
For complete Workshop & On-line Registration Information visit https://www.cognitiveworkshops.com/cbt-for-anxiety
WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
LIGHTS: When you shine a light on your therapy with anxious clients, what do you see? Are the two of you leaning forward as participants in a thriller? Or is your client detailing a documentary of anxious moments while you flip through a mental script and try to figure out what your lines are supposed to be? This all new workshop teaches you how to light up your therapy for generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorder and social anxiety so you and your client are collaboratively engaged in viewing the central components of anxiety throughout therapy sessions.
CAMERA: An important factor in successful anxiety treatment is a clear conceptualization. Is your therapy focused on a coherent understanding of what triggers and maintains anxiety or is there a shadowy darkness obscuring it? Just as a camera guides the viewer to focus on the most important elements of a film, a coherent and individualized case conceptualization helps you and your client focus on the most important triggers and maintenance factors for anxiety. Learn how to collaboratively develop models for clearly understanding client experiences in GAD, panic disorder and social anxiety. See how a good case conceptualization helps guide intervention choices so that each session helps move the client closer to a successful therapy outcome.
ACTION: CBT for anxiety relies on action-packed methods for its success. Learn how behavioral experiments, imagery, interactive writing, and role plays can speed the pace of treatment progress. These methods lead to higher impact client learning than simply talking about anxiety and how to manage it. Over the course of the workshop participants will observe, experience, practice, and analyze principles for employing action‍‍‍ methods throughout CBT for anxiety. This all new workshop builds on last year’s Action-Packed CBT: More Walk, Less Talk workshop. Attendance at this previous workshop is not required to fully benefit from this one.
DIRECTOR’S COMMENTARY: This new Show Me! Workshop is produced and directed by Christine A. Padesky, PhD, renowned for her clinical creativity. Observe her demonstrations of action-packed therapy methods as applied within anxiety treatment protocols for generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and social anxiety. Just as directors sometimes overlay their own commentary onto a film, Padesky provides commentary throughout the workshop to highlight therapy decision points and her rationale for the choices she makes. Participants are invited to practice and model these methods in role plays with time for questions and feedback.

Enhancing Group Therapy with Mind Over Mood (Canada 2018)
2018-10-24 09:00 - 10:00 (America/Winnipeg) | The Fort Gerry Hotel, 222 Broadway, Winnipeg, Manitoba, R3C 0R3, Canada
WINNIPEG, MANITOBA, CANADA
Keynote Address by Christine A. Padesky, PhD. at the CGPA Conference

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
Are you curious how to use the 2nd edition of Mind Over Mood (Greenberger & Padesky, 2016) in group therapy? Padesky illustrates two ways this award-winning cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) self-help book can enhance group therapy, whether you are a CBT therapist or not. One approach structures groups according to evidence-based principles for treating specific disorders (e.g., depression, anxiety disorders) and incorporates Mind Over Mood as a group reference, compendium of exercises and a relapse management resource. Her second strategy is to use this workbook to help people master relevant skill sets (e.g., acceptance, behavioral activation, thought records) via group therapy modules. The utility of each method depends on your clinical setting, client needs and goals, as well as your own knowledge base.

2 Day / 12 hour workshop by Christine A. Padesky, PhD. (Advanced Single Fee $315 until Sept 21). LINK to ONLINE BROCHURE (opens in new window)
Action-Packed CBT: More Walk, Less Talk – a new “Show Me!” workshop
Is talking the best way to promote change and growth? We don’t tell toddlers how to walk or ask them how they feel about walking. We encourage and support trial and error experience. How often do you leave a workshop feeling inspired but unsure how to do anything different in your next session?
The phrase, “action-packed CBT” describes a therapeutic approach that combines talk with active learning experiences embedded into each session. It is designed to make therapy more effective and to promote faster client change.
Padesky demonstrates a variety of action methods that can enhance cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and other forms of psychotherapy. Like her other “Show Me” workshops, she structures her teaching around clinical demonstrations rather than lectures. For each segment of the workshop, she demonstrates particular methods so participating therapists can see exactly how Padesky conducts “action-packed” CBT. Structured exercises help therapists learn through experience how to implement action-oriented approaches. Thus, “More walk and less talk.” Even so, there is ample time for questions, answers, and discussion to promote a more complete understanding of how to apply these approaches with diverse clients in a variety of settings.
Action methods demonstrated in this workshop include: interactive writing/drawing, imagery, role playing, and behavioral experiments conducted both in and outside the office to test out beliefs and try new behaviors. A brainstorming section in the afternoon of the second day helps therapists discover how a variety of creative methods can be derived from these basic actions. Padesky guides workshop participants to develop a model over the course of the two days to help decide when to employ action approaches, when listening and talk are the best interventions, and what types of action are best suited to particular therapy purposes and goals. By the end of the workshop, each participant has an opportunity to construct an individualized action plan for one of their own clients whose progress in therapy has stalled.
Join us this fall to observe and practice a variety of actions that promote client learning. Experience how action-packed therapy helps maximize client engagement, discovery and change.

For details, please contact Tiffany Talley , Director of Development & Community Relations, San Angelo Counselling
LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Participants learn to:

Use a structured interview to assess suicide risk
Identify and strengthen reasons for living
Collaboratively construct individualized safety plans
Incorporate client strengths into treatment
Guide clients in the creation of coping cards
Build hope using a “hope kit”
Identify and “spoil” suicidal imagery
Develop positive future imagery
Implement a suicide relapse management plan

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
Therapists report greater anxiety about client suicide than any other clinical challenge. Unfortunately, anxiety tends to foster avoidance. Therefore, many therapists avoid asking in-depth questions about suicidal intent and do not learn how to effectively implement the detailed inquiries and interventions that are shown to decrease suicide risk. This workshop is designed to increase therapist confidence and ability to successfully address suicide in clinical practice. Many past participants have commented that this workshop helped save lives because they no longer feared interactions with suicidal clients and actually looked forward to practicing what they learned with their suicidal clients.
All therapists need to have a high level of skill in assessment of suicide risk. Participants in this workshop will be able to apply evidence-based methods for suicide assessment and implement interventions that can lower suicide risk, reduce suicide attempts, and increase client safety. Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) methods taught include use of Jobes’ structured Suicide Status Form interview and a variety of creative cognitive and behavioral suicide interventions derived from the work of Aaron T. Beck’s suicide prevention team: identifying and strengthening reasons for living, development of safety plans, use of coping cards, construction of a “hope kit,” and methods for working with suicidal imagery.
To enhance learning, participants observe skillful live demonstrations by Dr. Padesky and then try out best practice methods in role plays and guided exercises. Detailed handouts include key forms to help sustain learning post-workshop. While suicide is a serious topic, this workshop is designed to be engaging and uplifting. It provides an evidence-based foundation for therapist practice so you can honestly communicate positive therapy expectations to your suicidal clients.
It is encouraging that each decade brings fresh knowledge and new findings to advance the successful treatment of suicide. Although “best practices” always include some familiar practices, this workshop is designed for therapists at all experience levels. It emphasizes strategies to manage common obstacles encountered by therapists working with suicidal clients and teaches nuanced applications of interventions to improve therapy outcomes even for the most experienced therapists. Join us for this state of the art workshop that reveals a wealth of “Best Practices in CBT for Suicide.”

Mind Over Mood: A Simple Path to Art and Science (USA 2018)

GARDEN GROVE, CALIFORNIA
Four hour workshop program presented by Christine Padesky, PhD at the CAMFT 54th Annual Conference Advancing the Art and Science of Psychotherapy
WORKSHOP: (F2) Mind Over Mood: A Simple Path to Art and Science
This workshop demonstrates how the 2nd Edition of Mind Over Mood (published in 2016) reflects developments in evidence-based practice over the past two decades and how it can help therapists integrate the art and science of psychotherapy.
OBJECTIVES

Describe the two skills with the strongest evidence supporting their helpfulness for depression
Explain why thought records are NOT a primary intervention for anxiety disorders
Name one type of client problem that is likely to benefit from acceptance methods
Describe why it is better to use gratitude diaries weekly than daily

DESCRIPTION: Many therapists turn to self-help manuals for ideas of how to teach skills that can boost client progress. How do you artfully tailor these manuals to fit the needs of an individual client? Padesky demonstrates how to make therapy more effective by selectively matching evidence-based skills to particular client moods and using mood measures to track progress. She shows therapists how to strategically assign chapters from the 2nd Edition of Mind Over Mood (Greenberger & Padesky, 2016) which includes 60 worksheets designed to help clients learn skills drawn from CBT, mindfulness, positive psychology, acceptance therapies, and happiness research.

Three Effective PTSD Interventions Most Therapists Don’t Know (USA 2018)
2018-03-02 15:30 - 17:00 (America/Los_Angeles)
2018 GARDEN GROVE, CALIFORNIA / 90 minute clinical session
Most people naturally recover from trauma. What can we learn from them to help us treat PTSD more effectively? Padesky reviews findings from researchers Ehlers and Clark in the United Kingdom and highlights effective interventions developed by them that have not been widely disseminated in the United States. These interventions foster client collaboration in PTSD treatment, identify the key moments in traumatic memories that are most important to address, and help clients put the trauma in the past so they can reclaim a full and engaged life.
Each intervention is illustrated with clinical examples that show therapists how to use these methods in their own practice.
OBJECTIVES: Upon completion of this session, attendees will be able to:

Identify three ways people who develop PTSD differ from people who naturally recover from trauma
Describe reliving methods used to identify emotional hot spots and gaps in trauma memories
Apply “then” and “now” methods to places and circumstances of trauma
