AFTERNOON PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOPS

Summary We long for our patients to have access to supportive con texts that maximize the potential for transformation. Toward this end, individual psychotherapy therapeutic alliances, utilizing any number of interpersonal neurobiologically ef fective interventions, albeit having plainly demonstrated efficacy, remains limited in various ways that are addressed by group psychotherapy models. However, standard group models do not explicitly speak to the elements of spiritu al formation that are equally necessary and efficacious for those people seeking psychiatric intervention within a bibli cally informed anthropological framework. This workshop will explore the formation and development of confessional communities as structures that support patients’ depth of growth in psychological and spiritual dimensions of life and across multiple psychiatric diagnostic states. Learning Objectives 1. Identify the three fundamental dimensions included in the formation of Confessional Communities and what separates them from standard group psychotherapy settings. 2. Identify the fundamental theory supporting the integra tion of biblical anthropology, interpersonal neurobiology and group psychotherapy processes. 3. Learn the efficaciously advantageous elements provided by Confessional Community interventions vis-à-vis those of individual psychotherapy. 4. Identify those patients who will qualify for and will benefit from entering Confessional Community work 039: PTSD, Suicidality, and Reintegration: Serving Today’s Warriors When War Comes Home 3 credit hours Continuing Education Accreditations applicable to this workshop: APA, ASWB, NBCC, IBCC, NAADAC, Florida Board of Clinical Social Work, Marriage and Family Therapy, and Mental Health Counseling Continuing Medical Education Accreditations applicable to this workshop: AMA PRA Category 1 Credit, AOA Category 2A Credits, Georgia Nurses Association, AAFP Level: Intermediate Dallas Speight, Ed.D., D.Min Clinical Pastoral Education International

This workshop will explore the recent ways in which culture has changed, its implicit and explicit impacts on teenagers, and the practical ways clinicians can inspire hope and change for a struggling generation. Learning Objectives 1. Examine the five specific ways culture has changed 2. Describe the powerful impact this culture shift has had on teenagers 3.
