For four decades, the Massachusetts School of Professional Psychology (MSPP) has been on an upward trajectory: enhancing the quality of its academic programs, increasing its reach into the community, forming relationships with key partners, and growing to educate and train more of the kind of graduates that the community needs. For some time, MSPP has referred to itself as a ‘college of psychology.’ Now is the time for MSPP to own that label. This spring we will change our name to William James College, Graduate Education in Psychology. William James (1842-1910), the founder of American psychology, is considered to be one of the most influential and innovative thinkers of the 19th century, and he was the mentor to, among others, John Dewey, the architect of experiential learning.

Master Series in Clinical PracticeWe are pleased to present an exciting series of one day workshops that offer the opportunity to learn from professionals who are among the most senior, innovative and talented practitioners in the field of mental health. The Master Series affords the chance to spend a complete day with leaders in our field to consider the unique perspective each speaker brings to the challenging dilemmas in both theory and practice. We hope that you will consider joining us for the entire series at a reduced tuition or choose the programs most relevant to your own practice.
“Good Enough” Treatment for Borderline Personality Disorder: What Every Clinician Should Know Friday, February 20, 20159:00 am – 4:30 pm at MSPPJohn Gunderson, MD, instructorThis workshop offers training in an empirically validated treatment approach General Psychiatric Management (GPM), which has been demonstrated to equal Dialectical Behavior Therapy’s (DBT) effectiveness in treating patients with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). This GPM program teaches clinicians what they need to know to become competent providers who can derive satisfaction from treating borderline patients. Management strategies such as involving practicality, good sense, and flexibility are emphasized. Listening, validation, judicious self-disclosures and admonishments create a positive relationship in which both the clinicians’ concerns and limitations are explicit. Techniques and interventions that facilitate the patient’s trust and willingness to become a proactive collaborator will be described. Guidelines for managing the common and usually most burdensome issue of managing suicidality and self-harm (e.g. intersession crises, threats as a call-for-help, and excessive use of ER’s or hospitals) will be reviewed. The workshop utilizes small group and large group discussion, video clips and clinical vignettes to promote interactive learning and a comprehensive understanding of the treatment.

Counteracting the Harmful Effects of Stress Through the Use of the Relaxation Response and ResilienceFriday, March 20, 20159:00 am – 4:30 pm at MSPPHerbert Benson, MD and Ann Webster, PhD, instructorsMind Body Medicine recognizes the interac-tion between stress and physical, psychologi-cal, social, behavioral, cultural and spiritual issues in illness. Therapists need to under-stand this biopsychosocial model, its termi-nology, and the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of mind body techniques. This workshop will provide a comprehensive review of how mind body interactions impact physiologic resilience and how they work synergistically within the intricate medium of the stress sys-tem to sustain health. The program, which is both didactic and experiential, will describe the foundation of mind body medicine, research advances, and the role of stress in ill-ness. It will provide a “tool kit” of techniques for preventing illnesses, maximizing health, and treating a wide variety of patients and conditions.

PTSD: Effective Ways to Assess and Treat Survivors of TraumaSaturday, March 21, 20159:00 am – 4:30 pm at MSPPTerence M. Keane, PhD, instructorThis program is designed for practitioners working with patients who have been exposed to life-threatening or traumatic events and who develop Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). PTSD is one of the most prevalent of all psychological disorders and is being more readily recognized in clinical practices worldwide. Participants will learn contemporary methods for assessing patients with PTSD and will also learn current models for screening for PTSD in primary care, mental health, and substance abuse clinics. Case presentations and lecturing on the various forms of psychotherapy that possess a strong evidence base will constitute the key components of this workshop.

Keeping the Spark Alive: Burn-out, Grief, and Spirituality in our Professional and our Personal Lives Friday, May 1, 20159:00 am – 4:30 pm at MSPPDavid Treadway, PhD, instructorThis workshop will address burn-out prevention in both our professional and personal lives. We will discuss the nature of therapy and the life of being a therapist and we will address the positive and negative impact for many of us growing up as care givers in our family of origin and being dependent on our identity as caregivers in our immediate families, friendships, and work. Participants will learn new strategies such as the “directed letter writing,” “the
soft-boiled egg meditation,” and the “you’re not it” mantra for addressing the sometimes overwhelming grief and helplessness in our work and in our lives. We will explore our own spiritual and healing journeys in relationship to both our work and our personal experience and do the “Small step to big changes” personal assessment exercise that will allow us to identify three changes in our lives that we can implement immediately that will help us maintain a balanced and satisfying life both in the office and at home.

Complementary and Integrative Medicine in the Management of Mental Health Issues Saturday, May 9, 20159:00 am – 4:30 pm at MSPPDonald B. Levy, MD, instructorThis evidence-based workshop will explore the rational use of dietary supplements and botanicals in the treatment of anxiety, depression and insomnia. Common features of mindfulness-based training techniques including the role of neuroplasticity and the development of resilience will be discussed. Distinguishing between pain and suffering will be emphasized. The subtleties of refer-ring a medical patient for psychological or mind-body therapy (“I am not saying it is all in your head”) will be addressed as well as understanding the meaning of forgiveness and its role in mental and physical health. The importance of asking about spiritual beliefs and practices in the clinical encounter will be highlighted. Lastly, this workshop will underscore the place of hope in the age of evidence-based health care and ‘Energy Medicine’—is there a scientific basis?

Fostering Resilience in Trauma-Impacted Youth and Families: Overview of the Attachment, Self-Regulation, and Competency (ARC) Treatment Framework Friday, June 5, 2015 9:00 am – 4:30 pm at MSPPMargaret E. Blaustein, PhD, instructorThe Attachment, Self-Regulation, and Competency (ARC) framework is a core-components treatment model, developed to provide a guiding framework for thoughtful clinical intervention with youth and systems impacted by complex trauma. Drawing from the fields of trauma, attachment, and child development, the framework recognizes the importance of working with the child-in-con-text, of acknowledging the role of historical experiences and adaptive responses in current presentation, and of intervening with the surrounding environment–whether primary caregivers or treatment system–to support and facilitate the child’s healthy growth and development. This workshop will provide an overview of the framework and its theoretical foundations.

Collaborative and Proactive Solutions: A Model for Understanding and Helping Kids with Social, Emotional and Behavioral Challenges Friday, June 12, 2015 9:00 am – 4:30 pm at MSPPRoss W. Greene, PhD, instructorDr. Ross Greene first described his model for understanding and helping kids with behavioral challenges in published form in his book, The Explosive Child, and more recently in his book, Lost at School. Based on research in the neurosciences over the past 30-40 years, the empirically-supported Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS) model posits that challenging behavior is the result of lagging cognitive skills, especially in the domains of flexibility/adaptability, frus-
tration tolerance, and problem-solving. CPS helps adults and kids collaboratively solve the problems precipitating challenging behavior. The model, which represents a dramatic departure from conventional wisdom and practice, has been found to be highly effec-tive in an array of settings, including families, general and special education schools, thera-peutic group homes, and inpatient, residential and juvenile detention facilities. Participants in this workshop will leave with an under-standing of the underpinnings of the CPS model, along with practical assessment and intervention tools that can be brought back to and used in these diverse settings.

Integrative Psychotherapy: Healing the MindBodyMatrix Friday, June 19, 20159:00 am – 4:30 pm at MSPPMartha Stark, MD, instructorDr. Stark’s interest has long been in creating a holistic conceptual framework that captures the essence of what is involved in the process of healing, whether of the mind or of the body. To that end, she has coined the word MindBodyMatrix, a term that speaks to the complex interdependence of mind and body; it also reflects a keen appreciation for the intimate and precise relationship between the health and vitality of the mind and that of the body. By way of interventions that alter-nately challenge (when possible) and support (when necessary), the healthcare practitioner will precipitate disruption in order to trigger repair–the patient now stronger as a result of having mastered the impact (psychologi-cally, physiologically, and energetically) of the therapist’s “optimally stressful” interventions. By way of working through the cumulative impact of environmental stressors, the Mind-BodyMatrix will ultimately evolve to a higher level of functionality, adaptive capacity, and mental/ physical health.

The Thirty-Eighth Annual Erich Lindemann Memorial Lecture

North Suffolk Mental Health Association Board of Directors Present
Collaboration Between Peers and Professionals: How Lived and Learned Experience Contribute to Recovery
Friday, April 24, 2015 | 2:30 – 5:00 pm at MSPPKnowledge, skills and perspectives in mental health work come from both those who have learned it through professional preparation and those who have lived it themselves and through family and community. This calls for collaboration between these (sometimes over-lapping) groups. And both should involve those receiving mental health services in the care process as participants rather than passive recipients, as they can bring inspiring stories of recovery. This Lindemann Lecture brings together mental health peer and professional practi-tioners to explore and illustrate these principles.

The Psychodynamics of Internal Family Systems with Richard Schwartz, PhD, Founding Developer, Internal Family Systems
Thursday, March 26, 2015 | 8:45 am – 5:00 pm at the Fairmont Copley Plaza Hotel, Boston, MA
Both Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy focus on the internal registering of early-on traumatogenic experiences within the child’s developing mind. Both treatment approaches deeply appreciate the dysfunctional impact these inner schemas have on how subsequent expe-riences are interpreted and organized; fur-ther, both schools contend that individuals who have suffered at the hands of their par-ents will continue to enact their unresolved childhood dramas throughout life, until they have had an opportunity to process and inte-grate the unmastered relational experiences that have given rise to their maladaptive ways of acting, reacting, and interacting. Both IFS and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy are “depth approaches” that offer such an oppor-tunity. Psychodynamic Psychotherapy focus-es on the gradual and spontaneous emergence of insight into the unconscious conflicts and psychodynamics that created the internal tensions interfering with actualization of the patient’s potential. IFS, while striving to achieve the same therapeutic goal, takes a somewhat divergent path. IFS is a more directive and focused method of treatment
that prompts patients to delve into the psy-chodynamics of their interior world, where their inner resistances can be disarmed, the exiled parts of the Self accessed, and compet-ing internal “voices” categorized into discrete subpersonalities. With curiosity and compas-sion, IFS therapist and patient can then work collaboratively to facilitate development of a more harmonious relationship between and amongst the various dissociated and con-flictual “parts” of the Self, the ultimate goal being the promotion of integration, transfor-mation, healing, and empowerment.Upon completion of this pre-conference institute, participants will be able to:
1. Explain the similarities between IFS and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy
2. Describe the differences between IFS and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy
3. Speak to the ways in which IFS con-ceptualizes the internal recording of early-on traumatogenic experiences
4. Understand the ways in which IFS pro-motes psychic health, integration and empowerment.

Nilda M. Laboy, PsyD, Chair, Counseling Psychology Department, MSPP
This conference will provide a unique forum to discuss pressing socio-political and mental health issues related to immigrant Latino populations and their implications for ser-vices. Dr. Lewis-Fernandez will focus on the impact of culture in changes to DSM-5 and how to incorporate cultural informa-tion into diagnostic practice through the use of the Cultural Formulation Interview (CFI). Presenters will address the political
and social circumstances of recent migra-tions from Central and South America. We will outline the intersecting concerns and vulnerabilities of these immigrants within a life course theory frame. The view of the US as a promised land for the Central American refugees will be contrasted with the main-stream media view of the refugees as diseased and burdensome. The reality of minors arriv-ing to reunite with family members will be explored. Implications for treatment of both unaccompanied refugee minors and domestic sex trafficked minors will be discussed

The Annual Conference on Haitian Mental Health brings together practitioners, researchers, educators, public health officials, faith-based and spiritual leaders, community advocates, and policymakers whose current work can inform the development of a comprehensive, community-based, and culturally-oriented mental health agenda for Haitians in the Diaspora.
The primary aim of the Annual Conference is to provide an intellectually stimulating forum where attendees can engage in a meaningful discourse on the mental health needs of the Haitian community; learn from leading scholars in the field; network with other professionals with a strong interest in, passion for, and commitment to promoting the health and well-being of Haitian immigrants; and exchange knowledge, information, and data on culturally-oriented theoretical inquiries, clinical practices, treatment interventions, research, and policy-based initiatives. In addition to offering cutting-edge presentations, workshops, and networking opportunities, the Conference is intended to commemorate Haitian Heritage Month through a series of cultural events and an annual art exhibition that celebrate the rich history, values, and traditions of Haitian culture.

Internal Family Systems Therapy: A New Paradigm for Healing Severe Trauma
Saturday, June 13, 2015 9:00 am – 4:30 pm at MSPPFrank Anderson, MD and Richard C. Schwartz, PhD, instructorsClients who experience severe childhood abuse often carry a diagnosis of Disorganized Attachment or Dissociative Identi-ty Disorder (DID) and can present some of the most difficult challenges for therapists. The extreme nature of their symp-
toms often leaves the therapists feeling confused, frustrated, scared and at times totally overwhelmed. This workshop presents a radically new way of working with this population. Traditional trauma treatment will be looked at through the Inter-nal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) lens, showing how phase-oriented treatment; including safety-stabilization, review and reappraisal and rehabilitation are handled from the IFS perspective. Current neuroscience findings as they relate to the Model will be incorporated throughout that help inform and guide treatment decisions.

Friday, May 8, 2015 | 9:00 am – 4:30 pm at MSPPConference Coordinators: Bruce Ecker PhD, Gemima St. Louis, PhD,
Robert Kinscherff, PhD, JD, and Margaret Hannah, MEdThis second annual multi-disciplinary conference on youth resilience will be held in celebra-tion of National Children’s Mental Health Awareness Day. The conference will provide a unique forum for considering what has been learned about youth resilience from around the globe and then applying that knowledge to local needs and programs. Looking broadly at children and adolescents as well as their families, schools and communities, the focus will be on identifying powerful strengths that counteract the adversities faced by far too many. Nine resilience factors identified in global studies will be presented as they serve to offset youth psy-chiatric disorders as well as the effects of family violence, natural disasters, forced migration, poverty, racism and other types of social marginalization. The connections between research and practice will be stressed throughout. The plenary speaker, Michael Ungar, Ph.D., co-founder of the Resilience Research Centre, is both a clinician and a world leader in resilience studies, as he coordinates funded research in over a dozen countries. His work will be comple-mented by that of local leaders who will describe how strength-based programs are making important contributions to youth and family adjustment. Such programs are relevant across a broad developmental range, from early childhood to youth transitioning to adulthood. Concrete examples of successful practices and programs will be presented. Representatives from schools and Commonwealth agencies will be present to foster collaboration in meeting the growing mental health needs of children and their families. The day will be divided between plenary sessions, panel presentations, and concurrent sessions, all in an attempt to foster engagement and sharing. The conference will be relevant for clinicians, educators, policy makers, consumers, and community support personnel.
Specific learning objectives:
• Describe the impact of selected adverse childhood experiences such as family violence, poverty, forced immigration, and racism
• Describe nine resilience factors found in global studies that offset the impact of youth, family, and community adversities
• Describe the social-ecological model of adversity and resilience
• Provide examples of strength-based local programs that use resilience factors as powerful tools to offset youth adversities

The Center for Psychoanalytic Studies @ MSPPProgram Co-Directors: Martha Stark, MD, and Andrea Celenza, PhD
These exciting new programs will enable licensed mental health professionals and other qualified students to pursue an innovative and rigorous course of study with a distinguished national and international faculty. The focus will be on interweaving the most current theoretical advances in psychoanalytic thought with best practices in the clinical domain. Beginning in February 2015, two courses—using the latest models of pedagogy—will be featured every spring and every fall. Each course will be offered as a month-long online series of four one-hour video recorded lectures and corresponding readings available to the student 24/7. In additions, each core course includes faculty facilitated email threaded discussions and a final one-hour webinar. This training model will allow students to participate from any location for enriching and stimulating study with senior faculty. In addition, interspersed around the core course options will be a series of online presentations by distinguished luminaries.
Please visit www.mspp.edu/ppp to learn more details about these unique opportunities.
What, Where Is Psychoanalysis: Classic Concepts, New MeaningsOnline: February 2 – 27, 2015 Andrea Celenza, PhD, instructorThis course traces the history of psychoanalytic theorizing and
technique from classical positivist, one-person conceptualizations to a relational, two-person, intersubjective engagement. This trajectory is designed to highlight selected basic concepts from both classical and contemporary perspectives, examining the epistemological underpinnings of each as psychoanalytic theorizing is transformed throughout its history. Each topic is covered from an historical vantage point to establish a foundation of the concept as it was originally conceived. Then these concepts are reformulated through a postmodern lens with a resultant discussion of the changes that ensued due to the transformations of theory and technique. Readings have been selected that represent seminal moments in the history of psychoanalytic thinking, marking a turning point, an elaboration of the concept, or an alternative view in order to expand your knowledge of the issues and debates in the history of the concept. In many cases, the papers we will discuss are those currently being debated in the ongoing evolution of psychoanalytic theory and technique.

MSPP’s Next Health Coaching Cohort Will Begin in September 2015
Health Coaching is a recently developed model in the coaching profession. Health coaches work with individuals to help them define and reach healthy lifestyles. Individual presentations span across a continuum from a person desiring to move from a sedentary and unhealthy life style to an improved set of health behaviors to a person living with a chronic illness who wants to make the most positive adaptation to the challenges of their illness. Health Coaches are employed in a variety of settings including health insurance companies, health maintenance organizations, primary care facilities, hospitals and behavioral health units. The MSPP program trains licensed healthcare professionals to be ready to make a career change or to enhance and expand their cur-rent practice.
Program Overview
This rigorous academic program uses a col-laborative cohort-training model along with an emphasis on experiential education and focuses on the development of International Coach Federation competencies. The MSPP Health Coaching Certificate is offered in a Blended Learning Model that will include weekly online course work consisting of a weekly on-line lecture, assigned readings, and a forum of threaded conversations related to the readings. Each of the five course modules has a required Weekend-in-Residence on the MSPP Newton, MA campus.
Curriculum
The MSPP Certificate in Health Coaching has a required sequence of 5 courses. Stu-dents who successfully complete them will be awarded a Certificate in Health Coaching.

Wednesday, April 15, 2015 at 6:00 pm The Jewish Cardinal—The Jewish Cardinal tells the amazing true story of Jean-Marie Lustiger, the son of Polish-Jewish immigrants, who maintained his cultural identity as a Jew even after converting to Catholicism at a young age, and later joining the priesthood. Quickly rising within the ranks of the Church, Lustiger was appointed Archbishop of Paris by Pope Jean Paul II - and found a new platform to celebrate his dual identity as a Catholic Jew, earning him both friends and enemies from either group. When Carmelite nuns settle down to build a convent within the cursed walls of Auschwitz, Lustiger finds himself a mediator between the two communities - and may be forced at last to choose his side. Director, Ilan Duran Cohen.
Friday, April 17, 2015 at 6:00 pm Punch Drunk Love—A dark comedy centering around Barry Egan, the socially impaired owner of a small business-distributing novelty toilet plungers-in the San Fernando Valley.

Saturday, April 18, 2015 at 11:00 am Queens of Heart—This feature-length documentary brings to the screen the first psychological study of drag performance, set in the oldest surviving female impersonation club in the United States. Seventy-five year old Darcelle XV comforts and confronts her audiences, from the brides gone wild and their nervous male companions, to gays and lesbians celebrating a step in coming out. The documentary takes viewers behind the scenes, showing how the work of drag requires a deep understanding of human psychology. Director, Jan Haaken.
Sunday, April 19, 2015 at 11:00 am American Denial—American Denial uses the story of Swedish economist Gunnar Myrdal’s 1944 study of race and American values as the starting point for this modern-day examination of social and
psychological consequences that arise when we deny the ‘cognitive dissonance’ between how we behave regarding matters of race, and what we say we stand for as American citizens. Director, Llewlyn Smith.
