Persistent Depressive Disorder: An Illustration of the Evolution and Future of Clinical Psychology
Presented by: Dr. J. Kim Penberthy
Topics: Anxiety and Depression | Psychotherapy & Clinical Practice
Presenter: Dr. J. Kim Penberthy
Overview:
The history of treatment for persistent depressive disorder, or what used to be known as depressive personality disorder, then dysthymia, or chronic major depression, or double depression, is an example of the evolving and increasingly innovative assessment and therapeutic strategies used in clinical and health psychology. The diagnostic criteria of this group of depressive symptoms has evolved over time and appears to have come full circle in many ways. Assessment has arguably evolved at a slower rate, with many of us still using self-report data to diagnose, yet innovative and exciting assessment strategies are developing in our research labs and in the field. Psychotherapy approaches for this “treatment resistant” disorder have changed over the decades. From the early psychoanalytic approaches to basic behavioral activation, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), most therapies have had only limited success in reducing depressive symptoms long term. Contextual therapeutic approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Analysis System of Psychotherapy (CBASP), Mindfulness-Based CBT, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) have been developed and researched with more success, and yet, still many individuals with persisting depressive symptoms find little to no relief. Thus, the evolution of treatment approaches continues, with the recent arrival of psychedelic assisted psychotherapy for these persistent depressive disorders and some intriguing and encouraging findings in the use of ketamine and other substances. Additionally, ongoing work in the use of mindfulness and contemplative based psychotherapies has demonstrated an interest from the field and usefulness in preventing relapse. The future of the treatment of PDD, much like the future of clinical and health psychology, continues to look promising with the expanding role of innovative technology including tailoring treatment approaches based on genetics, psychophysiological, and behavioral information, as well as the use of machine learning to help match psychologists with patients in order to promote effective therapeutic relationships and equitable treatment access.
Learning Objectives: Intended Audience: All
- Describe the changes in the diagnosis of what is now referred to as PDD.
- Describe how ideas of assessment and diagnosis are evolving in clinical and health psychology.
- Describe the evolving psychotherapy approaches to PDD over the years.
- List examples of the innovations happening in clinical and health psychology, specifically related to assessment and treatment of PDD.

Psychological Assessment Considerations Series: Assessment with Transgender and Gender-Diverse Clients: Ethical & Legal Considerations
Presented by: Luke Allen
Topics: Evaluation and Assessment
Presenter: Luke Allen
Overview:
The World Professional Association of Transgender Health (WPATH) Standards of Care 8 (SOC 8) recommends that clients undergoing gender-affirming surgeries have an assessment (depending on the surgery) from health care providers experienced in gender care (Coleman et al., 2022). A letter of support is typically required prior to the provision of transitional medical interventions and for insurance coverage. This presentation provides a brief ethics overview, emphasizing the guiding principles of the American Psychological Association guiding principles (APA; as also discussed by Beauchamp & Childress, 2019) to utilize as a framework for evaluating ethical questions in assessment with transgender and non-binary clients. The SOC 8 and current state of affairs are discussed, with a focus on areas of perceived tension with regard to assessment as well as its usefulness (Brown et al., 2020; Allen et al., 2021). Specifically, aspects such as models of informed consent (Ashley scope of practice for the mental health professional) are discussed.
Learning Objectives:
- Articulate areas of perceived tension between the guiding principles of the America Psychological Association with regard to assessment for transgender and non- binary
- Describe three models of informed consent with regard to gender care for transgender and non-binary
- List key areas of assessment when evaluating and referring to gender confirmation

Psychological Assessment Considerations Series: Minority Stress in the Assessment of Transgender and Gender Diverse Clients
Presented by: Kelly Ducheny & A. Jordan Wright
Topics: Evaluation and Assessment
Presenters: Kelly Ducheny & A. Jordan Wright
Overview:
This presentation will focus on assessment of minority stress in transgender and gender diverse (TGD) clients, including the potential impact that minority stress can have on identity development and mental health. We will focus on 1. What minority stress looks like in TGD populations; 2. How minority stress can impact identity development, gender dysphoria and mental health; 3. How minority stress may show up in and affect the assessment process and assessment results; 4. Measures to assess minority stress; and 5. How to integrate the construct of minority stress into clinical formulation. Minority stress theory and its adaptations for use with the TGD populations (Hendricks & Testa, 2012; Lefevor et al., 2019) will be used as a basic framework, as will models of evidence-based psychological assessment (Wright et al., 2022) and models for integrating context and culture into psychological assessment (Wright, 2021). Special focus will be paid to the link between minority stress and gender dysphoria (Lindley & Galupo, 2020), as well as several specific measures that can be useful in assessing these constructs with TGD clients.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify links between minority stress and other psychological constructs within the TGD
- Discuss three survey measures that may be useful when assessing the experiences of TGD
- Integrate information about minority stress in TDG populations within case

Psychological Assessment Considerations Series: Considerations for personality assessment with transgender and gender-expansive clients
Presented by: Tiffany Russell & Kelci Davis
Topics: Evaluation and Assessment
Presenters: Tiffany Russell & Kelci Davis
Overview:
Assessment services often include an evaluation of one’s personality functioning, and the most common personality assessments include gender-specific norming samples. While incorporating gendered norms limits stereotype threat, testing bias, and discrimination (particularly against cisgender women; Mason et al., 2017), few instruments go beyond the gender binary and consider transgender and gender expansive (TGE) clients in their norming samples. This presents a challenge for providers working within TGE populations. Fundamentally, complications begin when examiners must select the TGE client’s sex based on the gender binary, and they persist throughout data interpretation, case conceptualization, and report-writing (Webb et al., 2016). In this webinar, we review current empirical findings, theoretical considerations, and future directions for personality assessment in TGE clients. We also review the Gender Affirmative Model (GAM; Hidalgo et al., 2013), the Gender Minority Stress Model (Hendricks & Testa, 2012; Meyer, 2003), and current APA ethical guidelines (APA, 2017; 2020) and recommendations (e.g., Keo-Meier & Fitzgerald, 2017) as they apply to personality assessment with TGD clients.
Learning Objectives:
- Discuss current empirical findings, theoretical considerations, and future directions for personality assessment research in the transgender and gender expansive (TGE)
- Describe the challenges TGE clients face when participating in personality
- Assess how different TGE experiences (e.g., gender euphoria, discrimination, transitioning) affect their personality functioning, well-being, and
- Apply the Gender Affirmative Model, the Gender Minority Stress Model, and APA recommendations to personality assessment in TGE

Psychological Assessment Considerations Series: Considerations for neuropsychological assessment with transgender clients
Presented by: Colt St. Amand
Topics: Evaluation and Assessment
Presenter: Colt St. Amand
Overview:
This webinar focuses on evidence-based guidelines and practice regarding affirmative assessment with transgender individuals. To prevent inaccurate and potentially harmful evaluations, assessors with insufficient knowledge and training on assessment with trans clients are to seek supervision and consultation from more experienced providers and communicate with experts. When conducting pre-hormone evaluations, providers are to be mindful of evidence for affective and cognitive modifications correlated with beginning hormone therapy (HT). Though future research may illuminate the specific mechanisms and predictors of these changes, it cannot be presumed that no changes will occur after initiating HT. Moreover, not providing HT to a trans adult due to suicidality or other mood disorder symptoms, which would likely ameliorate from HT, is not an affirmative practice and is likely to cause harm.
Presurgical evaluations for surgery related to gender transition are significantly distinct from presurgical evaluations for other conditions regarding goals. Therefore, a medical decisional capacity model is more concordant with an affirmative assessment approach.
Learning Objectives:
- Demonstrate an understanding of the gender-affirmative model (GAM)and the gender minority stress model that guide clinicians’ choice of psychological tools, scoring, interpretation and conceptualization of transgender individuals’ experiences, including strengths, when engaging in
- Distinguish mental health symptoms from clients’ unique experiences and strengths related to gender
- Apply a medical decisional capacity model consistent with an affirmative assessment

Psychological Assessment Considerations Series: Addressing Power and Privilege When Assessing Transgender and gender diverse (TGD) Clients
Presented by: A. Jordan Wright & Cole Morris
Topics: Evaluation and Assessment
Presenters: A. Jordan Wright & Cole Morris
Overview:
This presentation will focus on the role of power and privilege in the psychological assessment process with transgender and gender diverse clients. The role of power in the dynamics of the relationship between assessor and client will be discussed, specifically as related to the quality of the relationship/alliance (e.g., Applegarth & Nuttall, 2016; Hunt, 2014) and the resulting quality of data likely to emerge from client self-report (via interviews, self-report survey measures, etc.). Finally, recommendations will be made (consistent with recent literature like Budge & Moradi, 2018; Terry et al., 2010) for addressing power and privilege in the process, with a focus on evidence- based assessment (Wright et al., 2022).
Learning Objectives:
- Identify three ways power can affect the assessment process with TGD
- Discuss how unattended power in the assessment relationship can affect data
- Describe three ways to engage TGD clients that is attentive to power and privilege in the

Psychological Assessment Considerations Series: Gender Identity: Terminology and beyond in the context of psychological assessment
Presented by: Cyrano Patton & Cole Morris
Topics: Evaluation and Assessment
Presenters:
Cyrano Patton & Cole Morris
Overview:
While sexual minority identities have become less and less pathologized since their appearance and removal from the DSM, transgender and gender expansive (TGE) identities and affirmation is still poorly understood and practiced within clinical psychology, broadly. Indeed, transphobia cand related microaggressions can and do even occur during a TGE person’s own psychotherapy (Elder, 2016). Despite the importance of honoring intersectionality in all branches of psychology (American Psychological Association, 2017), the area of psychological assessment is a particularly fraught area for TGE individuals, that has received little attention (but see K eo-Meier & Fitzgerald, 2017 for one excellent example). This webinar will first focus on understanding the history, impact, and importance of affirming practices for TGE people. Research suggests that increasing understanding of TGE identities and experiences is the best way to reduce harms to these communities (Hendricks & Testa, 2012; Bryant et al., 2021). Then, specific ways in which TGE identities, terminology, and lived experiences arise in the context of assessment with be outlined. This webinar component will lay the groundwork for later lenses and concrete strategies to improve equity, inclusivity, and affirmation of TGE identities withing psychological assessment.
Learning Objectives:
- Sensitively define and describe some TGE identities and vulnerabilities, using gender-affirming language, and how these relate to components of psychological
- Analyze and discuss the harmful impact of applying majority frameworks, e. cisgender and heteronormative ideologies to TGE clients.
- Demonstrate and apply cultural humility to psychological assessment with TGE

Healing Interpersonal & Racial Trauma: Implications for Cognitive and Behavioral Mental Health Treatments
Presented by: Dr. Isha W. Metzger, PhD
Topics: Families and Couples | Trauma | Violence
The Society of Clinical Psychology Diversity Committee hosts:
Presenter: Dr. Isha W. Metzger, PhD
Overview:
The negative consequences of interpersonal trauma (e.g., physical abuse) take a disproportionate toll on Black and other ethnically minoritized youth due to the compounding stress of experiencing unique race related stressors both directly (e.g., microaggressions) and vicariously (e.g., witnessing police brutality in the media). To increase their utility in responding to and treating interpersonal trauma, cognitive and behavioral therapies should integrate and address cultural factors (e.g., system mistrust) that are likely to influence ethnically minoritized families' willingness to engage in treatment for trauma. In addition, Black youth rely on particular assets and strengths in their families and communities to reduce negative mental and behavioral health outcomes from interpersonal and race-related stressors. Racial socialization is the protective process of transmitting cultural behaviors, attitudes, and values to prepare youth to cope with racial stressors, and is associated with positive outcomes including increased resilience, coping abilities, and decreased problem behaviors and anxiety in diverse youth. This webinar will provide an overview of interpersonal racial stress and trauma, present research on barriers and facilitators to service utilization for diverse families, and discuss strategies for considering culture in mental health treatment for Black and other ethnically minoritized youth.
Learning Objectives:
1.Identify ways that interpersonal and racial stress and trauma impact Black youth development;
2. Understand research on barriers and facilitators to trauma treatment utilization for ethnic minority youth and families;
3. Describe the protective role of racial socialization on behavioral and mental health outcomes for Black youth; and
4. Prepare to utilize 2-3 strategies towards integrating racial socialization as a culturally specific cognitive-behavioral treatment strategy for Black clients.

Overview:
Prior to the coronavirus pandemic, health care worker burnout rates were high, ranging from 30 to 50%. Now, current estimated rates range from 40% to 70%. A recent review of 14 studies evaluating the use of ACT to address burnout found that 13 studies reported ACT to be associated with a positive outcome on at least one outcome measure subscale (Towery-Swift, Lauvrud, & Whittington, 2022). Focused Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (FACT) is a form of ACT that developed in the context of healthcare and with the input of health care workers. This webinar will provide guidance on how healthcare workers can use FACT materials (the Life NOW program) to cultivate their psychological flexibility and resilience.
Learning Objectives: Intended Audience: All
- Describe the prevalence of burnout and stress overload among healthcare workers and barriers to use of ACT and other treatments.
- Discuss the evidence for use of ACT and FACT to enhance healthcare worker resilience.
- Use tools and methods from the Life NOW program to provide Telehealth and/or in-person services to healthcare workers seeking assistance with stress overload or burnout.

The Harms of Sexual and Gender Identity and Expression Change Efforts—So Called Conversion “Therapies”
Presented by: Drs. David Rivera, Briana Last, Melissa Grey
Topics: Families and Couples | Trauma | Violence
Co-Hosted with the Society of Science in Clinical Psychology, Section 3 of SCP
Presenters: Drs. David Rivera, Briana Last, Melissa Grey
Overview:
Sexual orientation and gender identity and expression change efforts (SOGIECE)—so called “conversion therapies”—are a heterogenous set of practices that seek to change people’s desires, behaviors, and identities to conform with heterosexual and cisgender norms (APA, 2021a; APA, 2021b). SOGIECE lead to serious harm to those who undergo them and to society more broadly (Campbell & van der Meulen Rodgers, 2023; Forsythe et al., 2022; Ryan et al., 2018; Shidlo & Schroeder, 2002; Turban et al., 2020). Given the scientific evidence demonstrating these harms, every major professional medical and mental health association in the U.S. opposes SOGIECE. Some professional organizations have partnered with LGBTQ+ advocacy groups to legally prohibit SOGIECE, particularly for minors. Despite these advocacy efforts, some judges and legislators have recently sought to undermine or eliminate entirely even these limited bans on SOGIECE. A growing number of states have also recently licensed SOGIECE by banning or criminalizing gender affirming care—forcibly detransitioning trans and gender nonconforming people. In this webinar, we will discuss the harms associated with SOGIECE and the shifting policy landscape that has placed LGBTQ+ individuals under threat, as well as the ethical and advocacy obligations of mental health practitioners and researchers.
Learning Objectives: intermediate to advanced, builds on doctoral-level work in psychology
- Describe sexual and gender identity and expression change efforts (SOGIECE)—so called conversion “therapies”—and their harmful effects and related ethical issues.
- Evaluate how the science demonstrating SOGIECE’s harms is being distorted and misused by SOGIECE advocates and practitioners.
- Analyze current policy disputes over SOGIECE and gender affirming care bans and articulate these disputes’ implications for the well-being of sexual and gender minorities.

Understanding Vicarious Trauma and its Effects on Care Givers and Clinicians
Presented by: Dr. Vladimir Nacev
Topics: Families and Couples | Trauma | Violence
Presenter: Dr. Vladimir Nacev
Overview:
Vicarious traumatization is when providers, who work with trauma victims and repeatedly exposed to graphic stories, are affected biologically, physiologically, and emotionally (Figley, 1995). Grassi, McFarland, and Riba (2022) concluded that the negative consequences of vicarious trauma and related conditions impact not only the patients but also healthcare providers. Frost and Scott’s (2022) research findings suggest that, with proper support, staff working with offending populations could mitigate the effects of vicarious trauma and secondary trauma stress. In a 2018 study by Halevi, Eytan, Idisis, and Yael, reported that the importance of having resilience as a protecting asset against vicarious trauma.
Learning Objectives:
(1) Describe three characteristics associated with vicarious trauma
(2) Identify three healthy behaviors to improve psychological and physical health
(3) Describe efforts that address post-trauma challenges related to recovery

Mechanistic Targets for Intervening with Racial Disparities: A Focus on Race-Related Stressors, Health Literacy, and Physician/Patient Interactions
Presented by: Dr. Lisa A. Cooper, Dr. Dean Schillinger, and Dr. Gilbert C. Gee
Topics: Families and Couples | Trauma | Violence
Co-Hosted with The Science of Behavior Change
Presenters: Dr. Lisa A. Cooper, Dr. Dean Schillinger, and Dr. Gilbert C. Gee
Overview:
Topic: Reducing Racial Disparities in Health Care by Improving Patient-Physician Relationships
Lisa A. Cooper, MD, MPH
Bloomberg Distinguished Professor & James F. Fries Professor of Medicine
John Hopkins University
In her talk, Dr. Cooper will provide some context to health disparities and their complex interactions throughout all domains in society—race, gender, income, residence, etc.—and highlight the health system factors and social relationships that stratify these disparities in healthcare. From this, she will explain the dimensions of the patient-clinician relationship, and the disparities that exist within them. In doing so, Dr. Cooper will touch upon evidence-based communication methods that can reduce the bias and disparities in healthcare, through the lens of research she has conducted over the course of her career. These include the “Patient-Physician Partnership to Improve Blood Pressure Adherence”(also known as Triple P Study), “Project ReD CHiP”, and “RICH LIFE”. With the lessons learned from these studies, she plans to discuss multilevel approaches to improve physician-patient relationships and reduce disparities in the delivery of health care.
Learning Objectives:
- Summarize the history and implications of racial disparities in health outcomes
- Describe different mechanistic targets for intervening with racial disparities in health outcomes
- Demonstrate how to assess and mechanistically target race-related stressors to intervene on racial disparities
- Demonstrate how to use health literacy and communication to intervene on racial disparities
- Demonstrate how to use physician-patient interactions to intervene on racial disparities
Topic: Understanding the Role of Structural Racism and Racialized Rules in Perpetuating Racial Health Inequities
Gilbert C. Gee, PhD
Professor & Chair of Community Health Sciences
University of California, Los Angeles
Dr. Gee will discuss why racial health inequities persist despite that interventions have mainly focused on individual and institutional forms of racism but have not examined structural racism. His presentation distinguishes among these various forms of racism and discusses the “bucky ball” analogy. Further, Dr. Gee examines racialized rules as one of the mechanisms that perpetuate the racial hierarchy across institutions, and how we might begin to move forward.
Topic: Precision Communication: Implications for Clinical Care, Public Health, and Health Equity
Dean Schillinger, MD
Professor of Medicine
University of California, San Francisco
Dr. Schillinger will speak about his work related to advancing health literacy as a means to promote health equity
and reduce racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic disparities in health. He will briefly review what is known about the independent associations between health literacy and health outcomes and will provide a novel conceptual framework that elucidates the complex role that health literacy plays in modifying the relationship between structural determinants and health outcomes. The model brings together both individual-and public health literacy from a socio-ecologic perspective. He will then share theoretically distinct examples of his communication research to advance individual health literacy and public health literacy, respectively.
Learning Objectives:
- Summarize the history and implications of racial disparities in health outcomes
- Describe different mechanistic targets for intervening with racial disparities in health outcomes
- Demonstrate how to assess and mechanistically target race-related stressors to intervene on racial disparities
- Demonstrate how to use health literacy and communication to intervene on racial disparities
- Demonstrate how to use physician-patient interactions to intervene on racial disparities
- Summarize what is known about the associations between health literacy and health disparities
- Provide a novel conceptual framework that elucidates the roles that health literacy plays in modifying the relationship between structural determinants and health outcomes.
- Convey the 3-function model of health communication in the clinical encounter

Trauma-Informed Care With Individuals Who Experience Intimate Partner Violence: Evidence-Based Strategies for Detection and Intervention
Presented by: Dr. Katherine Iverson
Topics: Families and Couples | Trauma | Violence
Presenter: Dr. Katherine Iverson
Overview:
Past and recent experiences of psychological, physical, and sexual forms of intimate partner violence (IPV) are all-to-common experiences for individuals who experience mental health difficulties. Yet, clinicians often report limited knowledge about IPV and best clinical practices. The purpose of this webinar is to provide clinically-relevant information regarding the linkages between IPV and psychosocial health difficulties and describe evidence-based practices for trauma-informed identification and intervention in the context of mental health care.
This presentation is based on Dr. Iverson’s 20 years of clinical and research experience focusing on intimate partner violence (IPV) detection and treatment, her extensive knowledge of the IPV literature, and a recent clinical article she co-authored (Doyle, Knetig, & Iverson, 2022). Dr. Iverson received the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers for the impact of her research on IPV practice and policy within the Department of Veterans Affairs. She has over 100 peer-reviewed publications on IPV and related topics (e.g., trauma and PTSD) and has served as PI or Co-I on several federally-funded grants focusing on IPV screening and/or treatment.
Learning Objectives: Intermediate Audience
- List at least three types of intimate partner violence (IPV) and impacts on individuals’ psychosocial health
- Describe the rationale for integrating trauma-informed care principles in mental health treatment with women who experience IPV
- Identify at least three topics that are potential focus areas for individuals who experience IPV

Process-based Therapy
Presented by: Dr. Stefan Hofmann
Topics: Evaluation and Assessment | Professional Resources & Career Development
Presenter: Dr. Stefan G. Hofmann
Overview:
Process-based therapy (PBT) is a radical departure from the latent disease model of the DSM and ICD with its absurd proliferation of the protocols-for-syndrome approach. Instead, PBT focuses on how to best target and change core biopsychosocial processes in a specific situation for given goals with a given client. This approach recognizes that psychotherapy typically involves non-linear (rather than linear), bidirectional (rather than unidirectional), and dynamic changes of many (rather than only a few) interconnected variables. Effective therapy changes the entire system toward a stable and adaptive state by enhancing context-specific variability, selection and retention of biopsychosocial processes. PBT is, therefore, grounded in evolutionary science. For therapy to be most effective, we, therefore, need to embrace a systematic, assessment-guided, and theory-based approach to understand the relationships of the various problems of a given client. Functional analysis, the foundation of behavior therapy, provides the basis to understand these relationships. PBT acknowledges the complexity, inter-relatedness, and multidimensional levels of the problems in a given client.

Stigma, Health, and Motivational Interviewing as a Stigma Reducing Tool
Presented by: Dr. Henna Budwhani
Topics: Diversity, Race, Culture and Identity
Presenter: Dr. Henna Budhwani
Dr. Budhwani (pronouns: she/her) is an Associate Professor in the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) School of Public Health (SOPH), Visiting Professor in the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) Center for AIDS Prevention Studies (CAPS), and affiliated faculty with the Florida State University (FSU) Center for Translational Behavioral Science. Dr. Budhwani conducts studies to address the causes and consequences of health disparities among stigmatized populations that experience adverse health outcomes in resource-constrained settings. Dr. Budhwani's research is informed by sociological constructs, guided by human rights frameworks, and adopts a multidimensional view of how to address public health and clinical care inequities.
Overview:
The deleterious effects of stigma on health are notable and severe. The American Psychiatry Association has a webpage dedicated to stigma, and the American Psychological Association sponsors the journal, Stigma and Health. From Stigma and Health’s page, “The lives of people with disease and disability are worsened by stigma, thus leading to public prejudice, loss of self-worth, and negative implications for health and well-being.” This said, there are few efficacious interventions that successfully reduce stigma, Motivational Interviewing (MI), being one of the,
MI uses client-centered, goal-oriented methods, to enhance intrinsic motivation and self-efficacy of patients. MI-communication can promote behavioral change across multiple targets. Due to its success, MI is embedded in the clinical guidelines for HIV care in the US, and MI’s emphasis on non-judgmental, autonomy-supportive communication behaviors is particularly relevant to stigmatized patients and clients.
The purpose of this webinar is to introduce attendees to dimensions of stigma (e.g., enacted, internalized, etc.) and discuss how adopting MI in clinical settings can reduce stigma, potentially leading to fewer missed clinical visits and improved adherence to provider recommendations.
Learning Objectives:
- Attendees will be able to explain to the concept of stigma, specifically perceived, enacted, and internalized stigma
- Assess the effects of stigma on mental and physical health
- Describe how Motivational Interviewing can reduce stigma in clinical settings

Providing Care for the Unvaccinated: Psychological Approaches to Address Anger and Frustration (Helpful tips for dealing with unvaccinated family and friends too!)
Presented by: Dr. J. Kim Penberthy
Topics: Evaluation and Assessment | Professional Resources & Career Development
Presenter: Dr. J. Kim Penberthy
Overview:
Healthcare workers are increasingly facing stressors in their environments that they may be ill-equipped to handle. Such ongoing stress can negatively impact mood states and functioning, increasing frustration and anger in providers. We discuss the unprecedented stressors impacting healthcare workers and the negative impact of chronic stress from the ongoing pandemic, including providing care for the unvaccinated. We will present the stress continuum concept including the five human needs in times of stress. This continuum provides a way to conceptualize stress behaviors and describe the additional roles of bias, discrimination, and other system/ environmental issues in stress vulnerability. We will then describe and demonstrate specific effective strategies to help promote resilience and wellbeing that grow out of these needs, including anger management skills and how to use these with teams and in the workplace. Finally, we present examples of successful application of techniques, including results of implementation and lessons learned in healthcare institutions.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe the impact of chronic stress and the stress continuum
- List the five human needs in times of stress
- Describe and demonstrate specific effective strategies to help reduce frustration and anger and promote resilience

ASSESSMENT CE SERIES: Feedback in psychological assessment
Presented by: Drs. Emily Gottfried and Hadas Pade
Topics: Evaluation and Assessment
Presenters:
Emily Gottfried PhD Medical University of South Carolina, Assessment Section President Elect
Hadas Pade PsyD California School of Professional Psychology SF Bay Assessment Section President
Brief Description:
The provision of assessment feedback should be considered in every assessment case. Not only is assessment feedback recommended in the APA Ethics Code (standard 9.10: Explaining assessment results; APA, 2017), the Standards (AERA, APA, & NCME, 2014), and noted as a primary area of competency in assessment training by the APA (2020), research has shown that it can have a significant, positive impact on therapeutic outcomes (e.g., Ackerman et al., 2000; Allen et al., 2003; Poston & Hanson, 2010). This session will briefly review the core components of in-person feedback sessions and written reports, including person focused contextually integrated findings in reader friendly language to address assessment goals and questions in clinical settings (Chapman-Hillard, et. al 2018; Wright, 2020). Common challenges in feedback as well as general recommendations towards effective feedback will be discussed.
Learning Objectives:
At the end of the webinar, participants will be able to:
1. Identify the core components for providing effective feedback.
2. List strategies recommended for meaningful written reports.
3. Discuss the importance of client context in feedback across clinical settings.

ASSESSMENT CE SERIES: Diversity Considerations in Psychological Assessment
Presented by: Dr. A. Jordan Wright and Lisa Suzuki
Topics: Diversity, Race, Culture and Identity | Evaluation and Assessment
Presenters: A. Jordan Wright, Ph.D. ABAP New York University and Lisa Suzuki, Ph.D. New York University
Brief Description:
As a core competency both within general health service psychology training in general and in psychological assessment specifically (APA, 2020), issues of culture and diversity must be integrated throughout the entire assessment process, beginning before a referral is even made and continuing throughout every aspect of the assessment. However, diversity issues in assessment have been identified as a particular area of weakness in assessment training (Gregus et al., 2020; Shipley, 2020). This workshop will introduce participants to methods for integrating a deliberate focus on culture and diversity throughout the assessment process, in order to facilitate the most valid and useful assessment results.
Learning Objectives:
At the end of the webinar, participants will be able to:
1. Discuss diversity and cultural issues to consider when selecting tests and measures.
2. Identify important cultural considerations in the interpretation and integration of test and other assessment data.
3. Describe three specific techniques for collecting cultural data within an assessment.

ASSESSMENT CE SERIES: Integrating Data and Managing Discrepancies in Psychological Assessment
Presented by: Dr. A. Jordan Wright
Topics: Evaluation and Assessment
Presenter: A. Jordan Wright, Ph.D., ABAP New York University
Brief Description:
This presentation will present models for integrating data from different sources (both different methods and different informants), with a focus on thematic assessment and reconciling data discrepancies. The presentation will introduce participants to methods and reasons to integrate data throughout assessment reports, rather than just at the end in a summary or case formulation section, with a client-centered, rather than test-focused, methodology and aim. Fully integrating data within psychological assessments has been identified as an area of weakness in education and training in psychological assessment, despite the fact that it has been identified as a core competency (APA, 2020).
Learning Objectives:
At the end of the webinar, participants will be able to:
1. Identify common psychological themes around which data can converge in psychological assessment.
2. Discuss methods for reconciling discrepant data when they emerge in an assessment.
3. Explain benefits of integrating data throughout an assessment report.

ASSESSMENT CE SERIES: A multimethod approach to psychological assessment
Presented by: Dr. Robert Bornstein
Topics: Evaluation and Assessment
Presenter: Robert F Bornstein PhD Adelphi University
Brief Description:
Multimethod assessment can yield richer case formulations and better-targeted interventions than single-modality assessment (Hopwood & Bornstein, 2014). Psychometrically multimethod assessment helps minimize the negative impact of limitations inherent in different types of measures. Clinically, “when test data from different modalities are integrated, and test score convergences and divergences are explored, multimethod assessment allows aspects of the client’s dynamics that might otherwise go unrecognized to be scrutinized directly”. This session will discuss the key components of multimethod psychological assessment and how to utilize it in clinical settings. All material presented in this session is based on published, peer-reviewed research which has been widely cited by psychologists and other mental health professionals. The findings, procedures, and theoretical concepts discussed in this program have all been used in empirical research, education, and psychological practice. Portions of the material presented in this session have been presented at annual meetings of the American Psychological Association, Association for Psychological Science, and Society for Personality Assessment.
Learning Objectives:
At the end of the webinar, participants will be able to:
1. Describe the key features of multimethod psychological assessment
2. Apply a process-focused framework to interpret test score convergences and divergences
3. Utilize multimethod assessment techniques in clinical settings

Addressing Substance Use during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Presented by: Dr. Mandy D. Owens
Topics: Addiction/Substance Use
Presenter: Dr. Mandy D. Owens
Dr. Owens is a licensed psychologist and an active member of the American Psychological Association, Research Society on Alcoholism, and Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies. She regularly attends relevant webinars to stay abreast of updates in clinical practice and will incorporate the most recent information into her presentation.
Overview:
Dr. Owens’s presentation will include a thorough literature review through September 2021 on changes in substance use during the COVID-19 pandemic. Multiple studies consistently showed an increase in alcohol use during the COVID-19 pandemic (Barbosa, Cowell, & Dowd, 2021; Grossman, Benjamin-Neelon, & Sonnenschein, 2020; Pollard, Tucker, & Green, 2020), with some evidence connecting this increase directly to COVID-related stress (Grossman et al., 2020). Fewer studies have examined changes in drug use, but limited research also has shown increases in drug use during the pandemic (Niles, Guden, Radcliff, & Kaufman, 2021). Given these increases during the COVID-19 pandemic, clinicians should reassess clients’ alcohol and drug use and the role it may play for coping with stress. Although little to no studies have tested treatments for substance use disorders during the COVID-19 pandemic specifically, adaptations to existing evidence-based coping skills for alcohol and drug use will be discussed (e.g., Satre et al., 2020).
Learning Objectives:
- Describe the rates of substance use during the COVID-19 pandemic;
- Recognize the signs and symptoms of a substance use disorder; and
- Utilize three strategies to address substance use.

ASSESSMENT CE SERIES: Increasing the impact of your psychological assessments: Insights from Collaborative/Therapeutic Assessment
Presented by: Dr. Stephen Finn
Topics: Evaluation and Assessment
Presenter: Stephen E. Finn, Center for Therapeutic Assessment, Austin, TX
Brief Description:
Psychological assessment continues to be one of the core activities of psychologists across a number of domains of practice, e.g., education, clinical, counseling, industrial-occupational, forensic (Evans & Finn, 2017). Multiple research studies have documented the benefits to clients when psychologists incorporate collaborative practices and values into their assessments (De Saeger et al., 2014; De Saeger et al., 2016; Durosini & Aschieri, 2021; Poston & Hanson, 2010; Smith et al., 2014). Such benefits include decreases in symptomatology and increases in self-esteem (Durosini & Aschieri, 2021), greater satisfaction with psychological assessment (De Saeger et al., 2016), and increased alliance in subsequent psychotherapy (Hilsenroth et al., 2004), among others. In this webinar, Dr. Finn will discuss four empirically supported collaborative practices that assessors working in various fields of assessment could use with clients: 1) providing Interactive vs. “delivered” feedback about assessment findings (Hanson et al., 1997). 2) inviting clients to help delineate the goals of the assessment (Finn & Tonsager, 1992), 3) asking clients to reflect on their own test responses and experiences after standard test administration (De Saeger et al., 2016), and 4) giving clients written feedback in a form they can comprehend (De Saeger et al., 2016; Lance & Krishnamurthy, 2003; Tharinger & Pilgrim, 2011). Dr. Finn’s emphasis will be mainly on adult assessment, but he will also briefly discuss psychological assessments of children and of adolescents. The main goal of this webinar is to help practicing psychologists understand how to increase the impact of their psychological assessments in ways they could easily implement. Dr. Finn will also discuss common restraining forces (both external and internal) to working more collaboratively when doing psychological assessment, and how to address these concerns.
Learning Objectives:
At the end of the webinar, participants will be able to:
- list 4 empirically supported ways to make psychological assessment more impactful for clients.
- name at least 3 potential blocks to working more collaboratively with clients.
- discuss ways to address blocks to collaborative psychological assessment.

Integrating Psychology Services Into Specialty Medicine Settings: The perspective of four different approaches
Presented by: Drs. Sivan Rotenberg, Jessica K. Salwen Deremer, Julie Hergenrather and Amy Williams
Topics: Technology | Telehealth
Presenters: Drs. Sivan Rotenberg, Jessica K. Salwen Deremer, Julie Hergenrather and Amy Williams
Overview:
Integrating psychology services into specialty medical settings is becoming a more common practice, but there is little guidance on how to build these services and what factors to consider. What level of integration should the practice have? What services will the psychology practice offer? The goal of this webinar is to begin answering some of these questions and more, by sharing the experience of four different psychologists who work in different medical specialties and in different health systems. Additionally, many psychologists who do not work within a medical setting often have questions about integrated services (e.g., scope of practice, what patients can expect) which we hope to begin to clarify. By the end of this webinar we aim to share lessons learnt and other helpful tips, and to highlight other potential roles for psychologists in academic medical centers and other medical settings.
Learning Objectives:
- Highlight factors to consider when integrating a psychology service
- Describe services developed for different health conditions
- Discuss models of embedded psychology services to fit different health systems
- Compare integrated psychology services to others areas of psychology

The state of vaccine hesitance in the US and current strategies to improve vaccine confidence
Presented by: Dr. Robert Bednarczyk
Topics: Technology | Telehealth
Presenter: Dr. Robert Bednarczyk
Robert A. Bednarczyk, PhD, is an Associate Professor of Global Health and Epidemiology at the Emory University Rollins School of Public Health. An infectious disease epidemiologist by training, he has conducted studies to understand, characterize, and address vaccine hesitance incorporating principles from behavioral epidemiology, the psychology of decision-making, as well as traditional epidemiologic methods. He has published over 115 peer-reviewed manuscripts in journals including JAMA, New England Journal of Medicine, Pediatrics, Nature Human Behavior, Clinical Infectious Diseases, and Vaccine. Dr. Bednarczyk is recognized as an expert on understanding and addressing vaccine hesitance, and has been a frequent media interviewee related to COVID-19 vaccine hesitance over the course of the pandemic.
Overview:
This webinar content is based on research conducted by our team and our colleagues, utilizing techniques in infectious disease and behavioral epidemiology, incorporation of behavioral and psychological theories and concepts (e.g. Moral Foundations Theory, behavioral nudges, cognitive biases, application of heuristics, affective versus cognitive appeals) to understand vaccine hesitance. Our findings of the association between vaccine hesitance and these principles provide a novel framework for moving forward in our methods to address vaccine hesitance, particularly as we gain more understanding that simply addressing a perceived information deficit is not sufficient to improve vaccine uptake.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe the epidemiology of vaccine hesitance and vaccine uptake in the US___
- Explain the relationships between vaccine hesitance and vaccine-preventable disease outbreaks
- Apply principles related to the psychology of decision making to addressing vaccine hesitance

Developing a Telehealth Practice That’s Secure, Easy to Use and Durable
Presented by: Susan C. Litton
Topics: Technology | Telehealth
Presenter: Dr. Susan C. Litton
I consider myself a bit of an odd duck. I’ve been a practicing clinical psychologist since 1985 and still love and am humbled by being allowed to witness and participate in the healing process of another human being. I also like technology. A lot. Enough that I went back to school several years ago and got a degree in it. Enough that I run a healthcare software company in addition to continuing to see patients. Being a therapist feeds my soul. Playing around with technology is fun for my inner child.
Overview:
The COVID pandemic has been instrumental in redefining our profession. Most mental health professionals, psychologists included, are now using at least some form of telehealth with their patients. The federal government responded quite quickly to the pandemic by lifting many of the restrictions that had kept telehealth practices from achieving goals they had the potential to accomplish, including reaching diverse populations in underserved areas. Although we don’t yet know where all the pieces will land, it seems clear that groundwork has been laid for psychologists to incorporate telehealth practices for some or all of their patients. The downside of the COVID pandemic is that many of us cobbled together a telehealth practice very quickly. We started with video, then added other telehealth tools as we saw a need. This workshop will help teach you the easy way to do a telehealth practice vs the hard way. We’ll also discuss HIPAA in some depth, so you can learn how to keep your telehealth practice secure. Concrete, practical examples will be used so you leave with actual tools – not just ideas. Finally, the workshop will teach you concepts which will help you learn to choose the best tools for your practice even as both technology and legislation change.
Learning Objectives:
- Compare the EASY way to create and maintain a telehealth practice vs. the HARD way.
- Describe why email is described as a “compliance nightmare” and also why email that is end-to-end encrypted is becoming more and more important.
- Describe how patients currently view patient portals and providers who communicate via email.

Affirming and Empowering Mental Health Care for Gender-Diverse Individuals
Presented by: Dallas Ducar, NP
Topics: Gender and Sexuality
Presenter: Dallas Ducar, NP
Dallas Ducar NP is the founding Chief Executive Officer of Transhealth Northampton. Dallas is on faculty at Northeastern University, the University of Virginia School of Medicine and Nursing, and has served on faculty at the MGH Institute for Health Professions. She has advised international research groups in best-practices and has carried out community-based participatory action research programs. Dallas seeks to revolutionize healthcare, building novel systems to provide holistic, empowering, gender-affirming care.
Overview:
Gender identity is a person’s inner sense of being a female, male, another gender, or having no gender. Gender minorities have a gender identity that differs from their sex assigned at birth, and this misalignment can create severe and persistent psychological distress. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (American Psychiatric Association, 2013) identifies this distress as gender dysphoria, citing both an internal conflict and external experience of stigma, discrimination, or violent victimization as triggers (American Psychiatric Association, 2013; Wilson, Chen, Arayasirikul, Wenzel, & Raymond, 2015). Gender dysphoria can lead to significant clinical impairment and is often associated with decreased ability to function socially, occupationally, or to care for oneself.
Gender affirmation is the process of treating gender dysphoria. Gender-affirming care consists of being recognized in one’s gender identity rather than the sex assigned at birth. Patients with access to these treatments experience improved health outcomes and quality of life (WPATH, 2016). This care is best delivered by a team of providers, including nurses, physicians, social workers, and clinic staff (Chipkin & Kim, 2017)
Gender minorities face discrimination, victimization, isolation, and significant health disparities, but remain understudied and underrepresented in health research (Grossman, D’Augelli, & Frank, 2011). There are approximately 30,000 GMs in Massachusetts (Flores, Herman, & Gates, 2016). GMs are less likely to have access to primary care than cisgender individuals (i.e., those with congruent sex assigned at birth and gender identity) (Gonzales & Henning-Smith, 2017; Streed, McCarthy, & Haas, 2017). GMs are also less likely than cisgender individuals to possess health insurance and more likely to have no routine evaluation by a clinician (Gonzales & Henning-Smith, 2017; Streed et al., 2017). Gender-based discrimination is common in healthcare. In a study conducted in Massachusetts on the GM population, 30% refused to be seen for routine primary care, 25% avoided urgent care management, and 14% were unwilling to be seen for emergency care (Bradford, Reisner, Honnold, & Xavier, 2013; S. Reisner et al., 2014)
The significant level of societal stigma and discrimination that GM individuals face, the associated mental health consequences, and mental health clinicians’ lack of familiarity with affirming care demonstrate a crucial need for additional education. Mental health clinicians play a crucial role in supporting, exploring, and affirming gender identity across the lifespan. As more individuals are continually coming out, mental health clinicians play an important role in educating families and colleagues, providing affirming care across the lifespan, intervening with an interdisciplinary team, and reducing stigma within organizations. centers.

A Fellow of the American Psychological Association, Dr. Rousmaniere was awarded the Early Career Award by the Society for the Advancement of Psychotherapy (APA Division 29).
Overview: Psychotherapists credit effective supervision as the single most important contributor to their professional development (Orlinsky & Rønnestad, 2005), and experienced therapists continue to seek supervision and consultation even when they are no longer required to do so (Lichtenberg, Goodyear, Overland, & Hutman, 2014). However, as currently practiced, effective supervision is not necessarily common. For example, supervisees report that a large proportion of their supervisors are ineffective and occasionally harmful (Ellis et al., 2014), and the success of supervision, as evidenced by improved client outcomes, is yet to be convincingly established (Watkins, 2011). In fact, Rousmaniere et al. (2016) found that supervision accounted for less than 1% of the variance in treatment outcomes in one large clinic. Addressing this gap, this webinar aims to improve the effectiveness of supervision and clinical training via a model for using deliberate practice to enhance trainees’ acquisition of core CBT skills. Deliberate practice proffers that the quality of practice is just as important as the quantit-- expert-level performance is primarily the result of expert-level practice. Backed by decades of research on a wide range of other professions, from sports to math, medicine, and the arts, deliberate practice may help psychologists achieve higher levels of skill mastery. More specifically, deliberate practice is a highly structured, intentional activity with the specific goal of improving performance through behavioral rehearsal and graded stimuli, combined with immediate feedback (e.g., Rousmaniere, 2016, 2018).
Learning Objectives:
- Describe the research support for, and basic principles of, implementing deliberate practice in psychotherapy.
- Apply deliberate practice principles in the CBT training and supervision process.
- Utilize observations from the deliberate practice process to inform evaluations of trainee competence.

Dr. Weinstock serves on the AFSP Scientific Advisory, and has provided consultation to numerous federal workgroups focused on best practices in bipolar disorders and suicide prevention research and treatment.
Overview: Suicidal behavior is a major public health problem in this country. Despite the significance of this issue, relatively few interventions to reduce suicidal behavior have been developed and empirically tested/validated. We have developed a new intervention called Coping Long Term with Active Suicide Program (CLASP) that targets multiple risk factors for suicide using a unique combination of formats (in-person and telephone) and therapeutic strategies (values-goals clarification, problem solving, significant other support). The CLASP intervention is an adjunctive intervention specifically designed to reduce subsequent suicidal behavior in high risk populations during times of acute risk or transition. CLASP has three major components: initial one-on-one sessions, a family meeting, and a series of follow-up phone contacts with the patient and his/her significant other. The strategies used in CLASP are adapted from two main therapeutic approaches: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and the McMaster Model of Family Functioning. Recent research has demonstrated that CLASP produces significant reductions in suicidal behavior in high risk patients transitioning from emergency departments and psychiatric inpatient units. This webinar will provide an overview of the CLASP intervention, intervention materials, case examples and empirical research, so that clinicians and researchers can consider utilizing this intervention in their own settings.
Learning Objectives:
1. Describe the CLASP intervention, including its components and empirical research that supports it.
2. Identify the advantages and challenges of providing a telephone-based intervention to high-risk, potentially suicidal individuals.
3. Explain how values-goals clarification strategies can be adapted to target suicidal behaviors.

In 2015, she was the recipient of the Mather Spotlight Award presented by the Flora Stone Mather Center for Women, the awardee of the 2017-2018 Ohio College Personnel Association's Equity and Inclusion Award, and along with colleagues from Case Western Reserve University she received the National Dialogue Award presented by the Sustained Dialogue International Institute.
Naomi earned both her undergraduate and graduate degrees at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. Outside of work, she is a mother of two small children who continue to keep her occupied as they discover the world through books, adventures at local parks and museums, and various foodie destinations.
Overview: Many institutions hold values that directly state their intention for inclusion, diversity, and equity within their communities. University leaders expect that faculty, students, and staff all be responsible for creating inclusion within their campuses, however, little is done to ensure all members are equipped with the knowledge and skills to both understand identity and inclusion as well as address exclusion, bias, and microaggressions. This webinar will delve into these many issues of bias and microaggressions and will provide participants with opportunities to assess their individual biases and provide foundational understanding in key equity and inclusion concepts. Participants will also learn skills and tools to combat microaggressions and bias while addressing situations within their communities and beyond.
Learning Objectives:
- List two ways to assess individual identities, actions, and biases in order to create change within your sphere of influence.
- Describe microaggressions and how to apply strategies to both address and intervene during exclusionary situations.
- Describe tools to address exclusion, bias, and microaggressions in the moment and within their sphere of influence

Coping with COVID-19 in an Academic Medical Center: The role of Psychology
Presented by: Dr. Joanna Yost
Topics: Trauma
Presenter: Joanna Yost, PhD is an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences at the University of Virginia School of Medicine. She is the director of the Behavioral Emergency Response Team and co-director of the Behavioral Medicine Consultation-Liaison service at UVA Health. Dr. Yost’s work focuses on reducing behavioral emergencies in medical inpatient settings through the use of behavior management techniques, brief CBT interventions, and staff trainings on basic cognitive and behavioral principles. At the beginning of the covid-19 pandemic, Dr. Yost was appointed to the UVA Health Team Member Wellbeing Task Force. Her role on this taskforce includes spearheading the development and implementation of a variety of psychological services for frontline healthcare workers with a special focus on healthcare workers in the Special Pathogens Units providing direct care to patients who are Covid-19 positive.
Overview: Clinician burnout has long been a concern in healthcare settings and previous research has demonstrated burnout is elevated among clinicians during outbreaks and public health emergencies (Kim & Choi, 2016; Maunder et al., 2006). Additionally, moral distress is heightened during pandemics (Greenberg et al., 2020). The covid-19 pandemic has stressed already overburdened healthcare systems and introduced new concerns for frontline healthcare workers, including PPE, childcare, and effective communication (Shanafelt et al., 2020). Both the Psychological First Aid (Ruzek et al., 2007) and the Stress Continuum (Nash, 2011) Models provide a framework for how to increase coping and monitor stress responses during and following crisis situations that can be applied to the covid-19 pandemic. The role of psychologists within the context of these models will be explored. Further, the rapidly deployed comprehensive psychological services designed to mitigate burnout among clinicians during covid-19 at one academic medical center will be discussed.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify risk factors for trauma and burnout among health care providers
- Describe two models designed to decrease initial stress and increase coping during a crisis and their application to the COVID crisis
- List the range of services psychologists can provide within stress models when applied in a large academic medical center

It’s all about relationships: The Fundamentals of Interpersonal Psychotherapy for Depressed Adolescents
Presented by: Dr. Laura Mufson
Topics: Anxiety and Depression | Children and Adolescents | Psychotherapy & Clinical Practice
Presenter: Laura Mufson, Ph.D. is a Professor of Medical Psychology and Associate Director of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons, Co-Director of the Office of Clinical Psychology at Columbia University Irving Medical Center, and Director of Clinical Psychology at New York State Psychiatric Institute. In addition, she is Director of Training for the Child Track of the APA Accredited Predoctoral Internship in Clinical Psychology. Dr. Mufson is the developer of the adolescent adaptation of Interpersonal Psychotherapy for Depression (IPT-A) and has been a principal investigator, co-investigator and/or consultant with colleagues on numerous grants establishing the efficacy of IPT-A, studying adaptations of IPT-A to be delivered in schools, primary care and community clinics, as well as collaborating on studies on prevention of depression and the treatment of preadolescent depression. She has published numerous articles, book chapters, and books on IPT-A and its adaptations, and has conducted training workshops on IPT-A throughout the United States and internationally.
Webinar Summary: Interpersonal Therapy for Depressed Adolescents (IPT-A) has been demonstrated to be an efficacious treatment for adolescent depression (Mufson, Weissman, Moreau, & Garfinkel, 1999; Mufson, Dorta, Wickramaratne, Nomura, Olfson, & Weissman, 2004; Rosselló & Bernal, 1999) and is delineated in a published treatment manual (Mufson, Dorta, Moreau, & Weissman, 2004). IPT-A was adapted from the adult model of IPT and similarly is based on the premise that depression, regardless of its etiology, occurs in an interpersonal context. IPT-A is a 12-15 session treatment that focuses on improving depressive symptoms and interpersonal functioning. IPT-A meets the criteria of a “well-established treatment” for adolescent depression according to the American Psychological Association Task Force on the Promotion and Dissemination of Psychological Procedures as well as other systematic reviews (David- Ferdon & Kaslow, 2009; Weersing et al., 2017). Most importantly, IPT-A is one of a few evidence-based psychotherapies that has been transported and implemented in community settings with demonstrated effectiveness when delivered by community therapists. IPT-A is considered to be an effective, evidence-based treatment for adolescent depression by the Society of Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology (http://effectivechildtherapy.com/content/depression). This presentation will provide participants with an overview of IPT-A and discussion of key IPT-A techniques and their implementation with diverse populations.
Learning Objectives:
- Learn the basic principles of Interpersonal Psychotherapy for depression
- Understand the modifications for working with an adolescent population.
- Understand the key IPT-A techniques including the teen tips, communication analysis, and developing interpersonal experiments to master new skills.

Memory Processes, Therapy, and You: Transdiagnostic Perspectives on Maximizing Therapeutic Learning
Topics: Behavioral/Cognitive | Psychotherapy & Clinical Practice
Presenter: Michael W. Otto, Ph.D. is Professor in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences and Senior Fellow in the Institute for Health System Innovation and Policy Director at Boston University. He has had a major career focus on developing and validating new psychosocial treatments, with a focus on treatment refractory populations including those with bipolar, anxiety, and substance use disorders. His work includes a translational research agenda investigating brain-behavior relationships in therapeutic learning, including the use of novel strategies (e.g., d-cycloserine, yohimbine) to improve the consolidation of therapeutic learning. Dr. Otto’s focus on hard-to-treat conditions and principles underlying behavior-change failures led him to an additional focus on health-behavior promotion, including investigations of addictive behaviors, medication adherence, sleep, and exercise. Across these behaviors, he has been concerned with cognitive, attention, and affective factors that derail adaptive behaviors. Dr. Otto has published over 400 articles and over 20 books spanning his research interests, and he was identified as a “top producer” in the clinical empirical literature as well as an ISI Highly Cited Researcher. His leadership positions include serving as Past President of the Association of Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies, and immediate Past President of Division 12 of the American Psychological Association.
Overview: The way in which new learning is integrated into existing memory structures has rich clinical relevance because, regardless of theoretical orientation, psychotherapy is concerned with modification of the influence of an individual’s personal history on his or her current functioning. In short, frequently a goal of therapy is to modify the degree to which individuals are emotionally or behaviorally shackled by their own learning histories. Accordingly, this talk provides a clinically-rich perspective on the nature of memory adaptation and accommodation in relation to therapeutic interventions, with the goal of enhancing clinical attention to helping patients better retain and use the valuable moments of change in psychotherapy. Elements of this presentation will include an update on pharmacologic and behavioral strategies for enhancing extinction learning from exposure, as well as focused reminders to task other memory enhancing strategies—e.g., cues, exercise, sleep—for enhancing learning in therapy.
Learning Objectives:
- Know concepts associated with memory reconsolidation.
- Know the strength and reliability of post-reconsolidation extinction effects in human de novo fear conditioning studies.
- Be aware of common strategies for enhancing memory for session material, including the influence of sleep and exercise.
- Be able to select and apply strategies to enhance therapeutic learning in psychotherapy.

The Inclusion of Disability in the Diversity Curriculum in the Age of Reparative Justice and Liberation Psychology
Presented by: Dr. Julie Williams
Topics: Diversity, Race, Culture and Identity
Presenter: Dr. Julie L. Williams is a Board-Certified Rehabilitation Psychologist and Professor at the School of Professional Psychology at Wright State University. She has expertise in disability justice work and reparative intervention strategies for the disability community. Dr. Williams identifies as a clinician, activist and liberation psychologist.
Webinar Summary: The American Psychological Association (2017) continues to mandate the profession to promote cultural humility and awareness and to apply concepts of intersectionality and reparative justice in teaching and practice. This webinar will highlight disability as a socially constructed experience that parallels encounters of oppression and discrimination of minority groups and will discuss sociopolitical forces of oppression and discrimination that are specific to those with disabilities. The webinar will highlight the importance of intersectionality, treating the person as a whole, and bringing visibility to those who have not been visible in the disability community (e.g., LGBTQ, Black, ethnically diverse). Finally, this webinar will offer teaching and practice strategies to address ways by which the presence of disability has been absent. This will be accomplished by drawing on contemporary disability justice movements, as well as reparative justice and liberation psychology. Finally, this webinar will provide strategies by which to reduce discrimination and promote cultural awareness.
Learning Objectives:
- List the predominant historical disability models and describe the impact of these models on the exclusion of disability from diversity curriculum in psychology.
- Recognize the intersectionality of ableism and other oppressed identities.
- Recite 3 corrective teaching strategies utilizing liberation theory and reparative justice concepts that can be taken to include disability in diversity curriculum.

Strategies for integrating mHealth into clinical practice
Topics: Psychotherapy & Clinical Practice | Technology
Presenter: Stephen Schueller, PhD, is an Assistant Professor of Psychological Science at the University of California, Irvine and an Adjunct Assistant Professor of Preventive Medicine at Northwestern University, Feinberg School of Medicine. He received his bachelor’s in psychology at the University of California, Riverside and his doctorate in clinical psychology at the University of Pennsylvania. He completed his clinical internship and postdoctoral fellowship at the University of California, San Francisco in the Department of Psychiatry. His work focuses on making mental health services more accessible and available through technology. This includes the development, deployment, evaluation, and implementation of mHealth resources. He has focused mostly on common mental health issues like depression and anxiety but with a strong interest in reaching underserved and marginalized populations. He also leads PsyberGuide.org, a project of One Mind that aims to empower people to make informed and responsible decisions regarding mHealth products for mental health.
Webinar Summary: A robust body of research has demonstrated that mHealth interventions can lead to significant improvements in mental health. These findings have driven enthusiasm in the development of more and more mHealth tools. Current estimates suggest that over 10,000 mental health apps are commercially available (Neary & Schueller, 2018). Furthermore, many clinicians report an interest in using mHealth tools in their practice but few are doing so (Schueller, Washburn, & Price, 2016). However, although research in mHealth applications is robust, clinical knowledge of such applications, and how to use such applications in clinical practice is lacking. The availability and use of mHealth tools are rarely emphasized in clinical training programs. The presenter has discussed these issues in webinars and workshop presentations for ABCT, ADAA, and SAMHSA. Topics included will address ethical and legal considerations (Edwards-Stewart, Alexander, Armstrong, Hoyt, & O’Donohue, 2018), security and privacy concerns (O’Loughlin, Neary, Adkins, & Schueller, 2018), and best practices regarding the integration of apps into clinical care (Armstrong, Ciulla, Edwards-Stewart, Hoyt, & Bush, 2018).
Learning Objectives:
- Examine some resources to help navigate app marketplaces and discuss how to identify appropriate mental health apps
- Review how to introduce apps to clients
- Discuss integration of apps into current clinical practices

Principles and Practice of the Unified Protocols for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders in Children and Adolescence
Presented by: Dr. Jill Ehrenreich-May
Topics: Children and Adolescents | Psychotherapy & Clinical Practice
Presenter: Dr. Jill Ehrenreich-May is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Miami with expertise in the development and evaluation of evidence-based therapy protocols for children and adolescents with anxiety, depression and obsessive-compulsive disorders. She is the developer of the Unified Protocols for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders in Children and Adolescents (UP-C and UP-A). Her currently funded work in this area includes effectiveness trials in community settings and the application of the Unified Protocols to new populations and treatment conditions. Dr. Ehrenreich-May directs the Child and Adolescent Mood and Anxiety Treatment Program at the University of Miami, which provides UP-C and UP-A related research services to the community. She is currently the Science Committee Chair for Division 53 of APA and a former Child and Adolescent Anxiety SIG Leader for ABCT.
Webinar Summary: The Unified Protocols for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders in Children and Adolescents (UP-C/UP-A) present the compelling idea that there may be a more efficient method of presenting effective cognitive-behavioral and third-wave behavioral therapies to simultaneously address an array of emotional disorder concerns in children and adolescents. The UP-C and UP-A Protocols promote change of strong or intense emotions through a common lens that can be flexibly adapted across youth emotional disorders, including anxiety, depression, obsessive compulsive disorders, as well sub-threshold or combinations of these problem areas. Specifically, the UP-C and UP-A help youth by identifying a unified goal of reducing intense negative emotion states through emotion-focused education, awareness techniques, cognitive strategies, problem-solving and behavioral strategies, including exposure and activation techniques. The efficacy of the UP-C and UP-A has been supported in two randomized controlled trials, several open trial studies and application studies with a range of emotional disorders. This webinar will provide a comprehensive introduction to the UP-A, a modular, individual therapy for adolescents, and the UP-C, a more structured, group therapy for children, which includes a full parent-directed curriculum. Case illustrations and brief technique demonstrations throughout the webinar will help illustrate the flexible nature of the UP-C and UP-A materials and how they may be utilized in a clinician-directed manner to optimize and personalize treatment outcomes.
Learning Objectives:
- List two reasons for utilizing a transdiagnostic approach when treating emotional disorders in children and adolescents.
- Identify the primary mechanism of change in the Unified Protocols for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders in Children and Adolescents.
- List the youth-directed core modules and session content contained within the UP-C and UP-A.
- Identify the four emotional parenting behaviors targeted in the parent-directed sessions and modules of the UP-C and UP-A.

Unified Protocol for the Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders
Topics: Psychotherapy & Clinical Practice
Presenter: Shannon Sauer-Zavala is the Director of Education and Training for the Unified Protocol Institute. She received her doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the University of Kentucky and completed her internship at Duke University Medical Center. Dr. Sauer-Zavala is currently a faculty in BU's Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences and divides her time between her research, clinical work, and dissemination efforts. Dr. Sauer-Zavala enjoys training others in research-supported psychological treatments.
Webinar Summary: The proliferation of specific treatment manuals for specific disorders has created unintended barriers for the implementation and dissemination of evidence-based psychological treatments. The Unified Protocol for the Treatment of Emotional Disorders (UP; Barlow et al., 2018) is a transdiagnostic, emotion-focused cognitive-behavioral treatment (CBT) that targets core deficits occurring across the neurotic spectrum (e.g., anxiety, depressive, and related disorders). This webinar will review evidence supporting the development of such transdiagnostic interventions and provide a description of the core components of UP treatment modules, along with the similarities and differences between the UP and traditional CBT. The Unified Protocol is published as part of Oxford University Press’ Treatment’s That Work series, which highlights approaches with considerable empirical support (e.g., Ellard et al., 2010; Farchione et al., 2012). The Unified Protocol is based on decades of research on emotion science (Brown & Barlow, 2009; Campbell-Sills et al., 2006; Clark, Watson, & Mineka, 1994; Eaton, Krueger, & Oltmanns, 2011; Kessler et al., 2011; Rosellini et al., 2010; Watson, Clark, & Carey, 1988).
Learning Objectives:
- Participants will be able to discuss the rationale for transdiagnostic psychological treatment
- Participants will be able to develop a unified, transdiagnostic case conceptualization for patients presenting with comorbid emotional disorders.
- Participants will be able to apply emotion-focused treatment concepts and strategies (e.g., objective monitoring, emotional awareness training, cognitive reappraisal, reduction of emotional avoidance and maladaptive emotion driven behaviors) to patients presenting with comorbid emotional disorders.

Community Engagement: Perspectives from Community-Partnered Research and Applications to Clinical Practice
Presented by: Dr. Renee Pepin
Topics: Psychotherapy & Clinical Practice
Presenter: Renee Pepin, PhD is a Research Scientist at the Dartmouth Centers for Health and Aging. She was trained in clinical geropsychology and is interested in expanding access to mental health services for older adults in community-based settings. Her research consists of the implementation and dissemination of evidence-based depression treatments for older adults using innovative, brief, and practical approaches to delivery through a combination of community-based aging service providers and technology. She expanded beyond geriatric mental health services to other areas including the implementation of evidence-based community-delivered programs for reducing the risk of falls and the integration of best practices for geriatric care into routine primary care.
Webinar Summary: Community-based participatory research or community-partnered research is an approach to engage under-served, under resourced, and otherwise vulnerable populations (Chung, Jones, Dixon, Miranda, & Wells, 2010; De las Nueces, Hacker, DiGirolamo, & Hicks, 2012; Wells & Jones, 2009). In this presentation I will describe how, and why, we have used a community-partnered research approach for the integration of depression identification and intervention into Home Delivered Meal services. One innovation involves tailoring the program to fit within existing Meals on Wheels services: the intervention is framed within concerns that are relevant to the organization (i.e., social isolation) and screening is embedded into routine Meals on Wheels services.
Evidence of high rates of depression, social isolation and loneliness in homebound older adults including community samples (Bruce & McNamara, 1992), home and community- based services recipients (Pepin, Leggett, Sonnega, & Assari, in press), home delivered meals clients (Sirey et al., 2008). Prior strategies to meet the psychosocial needs of homebound older adults have taken advantage of existing services for this population, building on the access by partnering with home health care, homebased services such as home health care and home delivered meals (Bruce et al., 2015; Choi et al., 2014; Sirey et al., 2013). The challenges faced by homebound older adults are further exacerbated in rural areas because distances are greater, transportation options are fewer, and serious workforce shortages more acute (Chung et al., 2010; De las Nueces et al., 2012; Wells & Jones, 2009). Our group found using national data that depressive symptoms were associated with use of home and community-based services, above and beyond sociodemographic and health risk factors.(Pepin et al., in press) We are conducting an ongoing randomized controlled trial evaluating the acceptability, feasibility and comparative effectiveness of delivering two interventions by video-conferencing technology to promote social connectedness among homebound older adults receiving home-delivered meals: 1. Behavioral activation (tele-BA) vs. 2. Friendly visitors (tele-FV). To our knowledge, this is the first randomized controlled trial to leverage local Meals on Wheels (MoWs) agencies to engage homebound, socially isolated older adults in a telehealth intervention for social isolation.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe community engagement
- Identify opportunities for building community partnerships
- Identify strategies for building community partnerships

Psychological Approaches to the Assessment and Treatment of Chronic Pain
Presented by: Dr. John D. Otis
Topics: Evaluation and Assessment | Health Psychology & Behavioral Medicine
Presenter: Dr. John D. Otis is a Research Associate Professor at Boston University and the Director of Behavioral Medicine at the Center for Anxiety and Related Disorders (CARD). He is also a clinical psychologist in the Spinal Cord Injury Service at the VA Boston Healthcare System, West Roxbury, MA. He received his graduate training in Health Psychology at the University of Florida Shands Hospital, specializing in the assessment and treatment of chronic pain.
For the past 20 years Dr. Otis has conducted research and produced scholarly writing about pain throughout the lifespan. Dr. Otis has focused his clinical research career on the development of innovative approaches to pain management, tailored to specialized patient populations. His most recent research focuses on the develop of an intensive integrated treatment for Veterans who experience variety of chronic pain conditions complicated by mild traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury (SCI), and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Dr. Otis is a clinician and researcher who has helped countless numbers of individuals gain greater control over their chronic pain. He travels nationally giving talks and workshops to both clinicians and patients on how the principles of CBT can be used to help people lead healthier and more productive lives. He is the author of Managing Chronic Pain (Oxford University Press: Treatments that Work Series) - an evidence-based treatment program that includes both a therapist manual and patient workbook.
Webinar Summary: Chronic pain is one of the most frequent reasons that patients seek medical care in the United States, with approximately 55% of individuals reporting some pain, and 11.2% to 15.6% reporting chronic pain (Nahin, 2017). Estimates of costs of pain in the United States range from $560 to $635 billion per year when considering annual healthcare costs and costs associated with lower productivity (Gaskin & Richard, 2012). The recent "opioid epidemic" has further reinforced the need to develop and disseminate non-pharmacological pain management approaches to those who need them most.
Cognitive behavioral treatments are considered the "frontline" psychological treatment for chronic pain; CBT has been shown through numerous trials to be efficacious at reducing pain related symptoms, distress and disability. CBT for chronic pain focuses on teaching patients ways to identify and change negative thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and to replace them with more adaptive pain coping strategies, with the ultimate goal being to improve quality of life, reduce pain-related interference, and decrease psychological distress.
The presenter will review important factors that clinicians should consider when working with patients who have chronic pain including the selection of pain assessment measures, and ways to teach key cognitive-behavioral therapy skills that are commonly used.

Technology in Psychology: Understanding Threats And Preventing Unintended Consequences
Presented by: Dr. Samuel Lustgarten
Topics: Technology
Presenter: Samuel Lustgarten, Ph.D. is a postdoctoral psychologist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s University Health Services/Mental Health Service. Over the last four years, he has been providing privacy and confidentiality consultations for private practices and university counseling centers. Samuel has concentrated on various technologies psychologists already use such as telemental health therapy, digital assessments, electronic medical records, email, and text messaging. His research has focused on the intersections between technology and psychology, and its effects on psychologists’ ethical considerations and decision-making processes. Samuel’s scholarly work has been published in American Psychologist, Clinical Psychology: Science and Practice, and Professional Psychology: Research and Practice.
Overview: Psychotherapy is a treatment method and a healing relationship fit to the individual patient; however, only in the past two decades has sufficient research been conducted to operationalize these noble intentions into robust matching guidelines. This webinar will review the meta-analytic research and clinical practices compiled by an interdivisional APA task force on 7 effective means of adapting psychotherapy to patient transdiagnostic features. In this way, practice and research converge in responsiveness that demonstrably improves treatment outcomes.
Webinar Summary: Psychologists are increasingly using technology-based services for the provision of psychotherapy, assessment, research, and supervision of supervision. Online self-help therapies, smartphone applications, virtual reality, and social networking were all endorsed by psychologists surveyed in a “Delphi poll” (Norcross, Pfund, & Prochaska, 2013). As providers implement technology with their patients, examinees, participants, and supervisees, threats to various ethical standards exist (Lustgarten & Elhai, 2018). For instance, when technology is utilized, third-party platforms have independent privacy policies and terms of service, which can affect the privacy and confidentiality that can be maintained on behalf of a client (Lustgarten, 2015). Additionally, various actors can interfere with the secure transmission and use of technology-based services (e.g, governmental or organizational actors; Lustgarten & Colbow, 2017). This presentation will provide attendees with information about what services are currently used by professionals, how threat actors might take advantage of vulnerability, and how to better protect data.
Learning Objectives:
- Attendees will understand what technology is currently used in the provision of therapy and research.
- Attendees will develop competence for threats to technology use.
- Attendees will learn to employ strategies to protect clients and participants.

Using New Technologies to Better Understand, Predict and Prevent Suicidal Behavior
Presented by: Matthew K. Nock, Ph.D.
Topics: Death, Grief, and Suicidology | Technology
Presenter: Matthew K. Nock, Ph.D. received his doctorate in psychology from Yale University (2003) and completed his clinical internship at Bellevue Hospital and the New York University Child Study Center (2003). Nock’s research is aimed at advancing the understanding why people behave in ways that are harmful to themselves, with an emphasis on suicide and other forms of self-harm. His research is multi-disciplinary in nature and uses a range of methodological approaches (e.g., epidemiologic surveys, laboratory-based experiments, clinic-based studies, and real-time monitoring) to better understand how these behaviors develop, how to predict them, and how to prevent their occurrence. This work is funded by grants from the National Institutes of Health and several private foundations, has been published in over 250 scientific papers and book chapters. Nock’s work has been recognized through the receipt of four early career awards from the American Psychological Association, the Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies, and the American Association of Suicidology; and in 2011 he was named a MacArthur Fellow. In addition to conducting research, Nock has been a consultant/scientific advisor to the National Institutes of Health, the World Health Organization’s World Mental Health Survey Initiative, the American Psychological Association, and the American Psychiatric Association DSM-5 Childhood and Adolescent Disorder Work Group. At Harvard, Professor Nock teaches courses on statistics, research methods, self-destructive behaviors, developmental psychopathology, and cultural diversity for which he has received several teaching awards, including the Roslyn Abramson Teaching Award, Petra Shattuck Prize, and the Lawrence H. Cohen Outstanding Mentor Award.
Overview: A major and long-standing challenge to understanding self-harm is that because these behaviors are transient in nature and cannot be induced for study in the laboratory for ethical reasons, until very recently, they have never been observed research studies. Obtaining data on the actual occurrence of a phenomenon is essential for understanding why it occurs, but has not previously been done in the case of suicidal/self-injurious behaviors. Toward this end, we have been conducting studies using electronic diaries and ambulatory physiological monitoring methods to measure suicidal/self-injurious thoughts and behaviors as they naturally occur in real-time. We have documented some of the first data on the real-time occurrence of self-injurious thoughts and behaviors, and our methods and results have been well-received by audiences at major conferences and universities throughout the country.
Objectives:
1) Describe new methods for improving the prediction of suicidal behavior.
2) Describe how objective behavioral tests can better predict suicidal thoughts and behaviors.
3) Explain how learning/conditioning-based approaches can be used to decrease the risk of suicidal behavior.

National Institutes of Health Loan Repayment Programs
Presented by: Dr. Ericka Boone and Matthew Lockhart
Topics: Professional Resources & Career Development
Presenters: Dr. Ericka Boone and Matthew Lockhart
Ericka Boone, Ph.D. is the Director of the NIH Division of Loan Repayment. In this role, Dr. Boone is responsible for administering and providing leadership for the NIH Loan Repayment Programs (LRPs) as well as representing NIH on matters related to the operations, policy development and evaluation of the LRPs. Prior to this position, Dr. Boone served as a Health Scientist Administrator in the Office of Science Policy and Communications at the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) where she developed and targeted science-based publications, outreach initiatives and other activities to educate a variety of audiences about the science of drug use, abuse and addiction. Before coming to NIH, Dr. Boone conducted research at the University of Illinois at Chicago and Emory University. Dr. Boone’s academic background includes a B.A. in Biology from Talladega College and a Ph.D. in Biobehavioral Health from The Pennsylvania State University.
Matthew Lockhart, M.B.A. is a Program Analyst in the NIH Division of Loan Repayment (DLR), where he serves as an advisor to the DLR Director on issues related to loan repayment policies, guidelines, and regulations. Prior to his current tenure at the NIH, Mr. Lockhart spent five years as a Senior Policy Specialist in the National Institute of Food and Agriculture (a USDA agency) where he played the lead role in developing the policy and regulatory underpinning of the Veterinary Medical Loan Repayment Program, a program dedicated to the task of filling priority shortage areas serving underserved species of food animals. Mr. Lockhart received his B.A. in Mathematics from Gallaudet University and his M.B.A. in Organizational Management from the University of Maryland, College Park.
Overview: Dr. Ericka Boone and Matthew Lockhart will discuss loan repayment opportunities available to medical other health professionals. The presentation will cover a comprehensive overview of the NIH Loan Repayment Programs (LRPs). The purpose of the LRPs is to attract and retain promising early-stage investigators in research careers by helping them to repay their student loans. High levels of student loan debt – amassed during long periods of education and clinical training – are forcing some newly-trained scientists to abandon productive research careers for higher paying private sector or private practice professions. The LRPs counteract that financial pressure by repaying up to $70,000 in educational debt over two years in return for a commitment to conduct research in NIH mission-critical areas.

A Transdiagnostic Approach to Treating Sleep Problems in Clinical Practice: Basics & Beyond
Presented by: Dr. Allison Harvey
Topics: Psychotherapy & Clinical Practice
Presenter: Dr. Allison Harvey
Overview: Sleep and circadian problems are among the most prevalent problems, undermining our emotional functioning, health, cognition, and contributing to behavioral problems. Much research on sleep and circadian problems has been disorder-focused; however, real life sleep and circadian problems are not so neatly categorized. Insomnia often overlaps with hypersomnia, delayed sleep phase and irregular sleep-wake schedules, an observation that motivated us to develop the Transdiagnostic Sleep and Circadian Intervention (TranS-C). The goal of TranS-C is to provide a treatment approach for a variety of sleep problems comorbid with a variety of psychological and physical disorders, and that can be used confidently by a variety of mental health professionals. TranS-C combines CBT-I (e.g., Morin et al., 2006) with elements from existing evidence-based treatments: Interpersonal and Social Rhythm Therapy (Frank et al., 2005), chronotherapy (Wirz-Justice et al. 2009) and Motivational Enhancement (Miller & Rollnick, 2012). TranS-C is a modular approach to reversing and maintaining psychosocial, behavioral and cognitive processes via 4 cross-cutting modules, 4 core modules and 7 optional modules. The four Cross Cutting Modules are: case formulation; education; behavior change and motivation; goal setting. The four Core Modules are: establishing regular sleep-wake times including learning a wind-down and wake-up routine; improving daytime functioning; correcting unhelpful sleep-related beliefs; and maintenance of behavior change. The Optional Modules are: improving sleep efficiency; reducing time in bed; dealing with delayed or advanced phase; reducing sleep-related worry/vigilance; promoting compliance with CPAP/exposure therapy for claustrophobic reactions to CPAP; negotiating sleep in a complicated environment and reducing nightmares.
Objectives:
- Summarize the rationale for and theoretical underpinnings of TranS-C
- Utilize/apply the cross-cutting modules of TranS-C
- Utilize/apply the core modules of TranS-C
- Obtain knowledge as to the availability of the optional modules of TranS-C

The Launching Emerging Adults Program: A Developmental and Family Based Model for Treating Anxiety in the Transition to Adulthood
Presented by: Dr. Anne Marie Albano
Topics: Anxiety and Depression | Children and Adolescents | Developmental Psychology | Families and Couples | Psychotherapy & Clinical Practice
Presenter: Dr. Anne Marie Albano
Overview: Anxiety disorders (ADs) are the most common diagnosis among young adults (YAs; Auerbach et al., 2016) and leads to extended dependence on family, with early and continued parental overprotection noted for its role in the maintenance of these disorders. Cognitive behavioral therapy and medication, alone or in combination, are effective in the short term (Walkup, Albano et al., 2008) but show relapse rates of around 50% at long-term follow-up (Ginsburg et al., 2014). Environmental conditions present throughout the conditioning of the anxiety responses as well as neuro-developmental limitations in ability to regulate emotion in adolescence (Drysdale et al, 2014) may explain relapse. To address this, CUCARD has established a treatment model that targets parental over involvement and youth failure to launch into independent adulthood. The Launching Emerging Adults Program (LEAP) is an integrated, developmentally informed treatment aimed at both symptom relief and maximizing functional outcomes (Albano & Hoffman, 2017). In this presentation, Dr. Albano, presents the LEAP model and provides specific guidelines for engaging parents and adolescents or young adults together, via individualized and group treatment sessions, to address key overprotection traps while increasing the adolescent/young adult’s exposure to anxiety-provoking situations. Dr. Albano will also discuss the practice of conducting exposures in group to capitalize on experiential learning in context and discuss innovations with a novel Virtual Reality program
Objectives:
- List the tasks of development necessary for adolescents and young adults to transition to adulthood.
- Recognize the complex interaction of parental involvement in anxiety and stalled developmental tasks that contributes to the failure to launch to adulthood.
- Develop exposures that make use of context and address developmental stage issues to increase ecological validity and promote mastery of anxiety for youth.

Development of Principles and Guidelines for Empirically Supported Assessment: Child and Adolescent; Treatment Planning; and Forensic Practice Perspectives
Presented by: Drs. Robert Patrick Archer, Michael Bagby, and Eric Youngstrom
Topics: Children and Adolescents | Evaluation and Assessment
Panelists: Drs. Robert Patrick Archer, Michael Bagby, and Eric Youngstrom
Moderator: Dr. Paul Arbisi
Overview: Over the past decade attention has been focused on recommendations for the adoption of empirically supported psychotherapies and treatments in clinical practice. In contrast, there has been relatively little attention directed toward adoption of empirically supported techniques in psychological assessment. Since psychological assessment is a foundational component of clinical psychology as a discipline and a core competency in clinical practice, this webinar will discuss components that constitute empirically supported assessment and examine barriers to establishing principles and guidelines for evidence based assessment across three practice domains within clinical psychology: Child and Adolescent; Treatment Planning and Outcome; and Forensic.
Objectives:
- Explain the necessity for establishing consensus principles and guidelines for clinical assessment practice.
- Discuss what is required for an assessment practice to be considered empirically supported.
- Identify barriers that impede the development of empirically supported assessment within the three domains of clinical practice discussed in the webinar

Uncovering Clinical Principles and Techniques to Address Stress, Mental Health & Related Health Risks Among Gay & Bisexual Men
Presented by: John Pachankis, Ph.D.
Topics: Diversity, Race, Culture and Identity | Gender and Sexuality
Presenter: John Pachankis, PhD – Dr. Pachankis is an Associate Professor of Chronic Disease Epidemiology (Social and Behavioral Sciences division) at the Yale School of Public Health.
Overview. Clear and consistent evidence suggests that gay and bisexual men are significantly more likely to experience depression, anxiety, and substance use disorders compared to heterosexual men and that these sexual orientation mental health disparities are explained by the disproportionate stigma-related stress experienced by gay and bisexual men. 21 expert mental health providers and 20 gay and bisexual men with depression and anxiety provided input into the translation of these above findings into the first evidence-based treatment package to reduce depression, anxiety, and related health conditions by reducing the processes through which minority stress impairs the mental and physical health of this population.
Objectives. Participants will be able to (1) utilize therapeutic principles and techniques to adapt standard cognitive-behavioral approaches to specifically address the stigma-related stress faced by gay and bisexual men across development and (2) conceptualize clinical cases involving gay and bisexual men with attention to the psychosocial mechanisms through which minority stress adversely affects mental health.

Promoting Psychological Health after Cancer Treatment
Presented by: Jennifer Moye, PhD
Topics: Cancer Resources
Presenter: Jennifer Moye, PhD
Overview. This webinar reflects the growing field of cancer survivorship clinical practice and research, and emerging policy standards. It is estimated there are 14 million cancer survivors in the United States. Cancer survivors are susceptible to a plethora of complications associated with cancer and its treatment including cancer-related post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and fears of recurrence. Long term psychological effects have been variably attributed to social isolation during treatment and closeness to death; these may be exacerbated by pre-existing PTSD, medications (e.g., steroids) and radiation therapy, especially if targeted to the central nervous system.
Objectives. Participants will be able to (1) list the prevalence of cancer related PTSD, cancer related worry, and major depressive disorder in cancer survivors, (2) describe the relationship between age and psychosocial distress after cancer treatment, and (3) name two domains in which cancer survivors may describe stress related growth.

Working Smarter, Not Harder: Evidence Based Assessment in Clinical Practice
Presented by: Eric Youngstrom, Ph.D.
Topics: Evaluation and Assessment
Presenter: Eric Youngstrom, PhD
Overview. This webinar will be conducted as something of a detective story. As clinicians we are often presented with clients who may come across at different moments as depressed, hopeful, anxious, giddy, shut-down, fearful, flat, or agitated. How we assess our clients guides our treatment plan. Working effectively with PTSD, for example, would differ from our approach to treating an individual with social anxiety or depression. Yet even experienced clinicians do not always see eye-to-eye on diagnosis. In this webinar, Eric Youngstrom illustrates the process of differential diagnosis by inviting us to engage in his gradually unfolding and transparent assessment of a particularly challenging case study. The content of the program is based on cognitive psychology investigating decision-making, as well as studies of the effects in medical settings. The presenter’s program of work has applied these principles to the assessment of mood disorders in children and adolescents, especially bipolar disorder, demonstrating large improvements in diagnostic accuracy and decreases in bias. These findings have been published in peer reviewed journals as noted below.
Objectives. (1) How evolutionary cognitive shortcuts can lead to errors in diagnosis; (2) How validated checklists can protect us from bias; (3) How to combine assessment findings in ways that guide clinical decision-making about each case.
About the Presenter. Dr. Youngstrom is a Professor of Psychology and Psychiatry at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he is also the Acting Director of the Center for Excellence in Research and Treatment of Bipolar Disorder. He is the first recipient of the Early Career Award from the Division of Child and Adolescent Clinical Psychology, and is an elected full member of the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology. He has consulted on the 5th Revision of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-5) and the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11). He chairs the Work Group on Child Diagnosis for the International Society for Bipolar Disorders. He earned his doctorate in clinical psychology at the University of Delaware, and he completed his predoctoral internship training at Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic before joining the faculty at Case Western Reserve University. Dr. Youngstrom is a licensed psychologist who specializes in the relationship of emotions and psychopathology, and the clinical assessment of children and families. His research improves the use of clinical assessment instruments for making better differential diagnoses, predictions about future functioning, or monitoring of treatment progress – especially for bipolar disorder.

Using Behavioral Activation Treatment to Treat Perinatal Mood Disorders
Presented by: Jacqueline Gollan, Ph.D.
Topics: Anxiety and Depression | Behavioral/Cognitive | Psychotherapy & Clinical Practice
Presenter: Jacqueline Gollan, PhD
Overview. The biopsychosocial changes evident during pregnancy and postpartum are associated with an increased risk for depression and treatment requires effective, gender-sensitive psychotherapy practices. Behavioral Activation (BA) treatment has shown to be an effective treatment for perinatal depression. The BA model proposes that depression is generated and maintained via exposure to aversive situations, lost or disrupted routines, and decreased access to positive activities and thus the aims of treatment are to increase access to potential sources of positive reinforcement, recognize routine disruptions and avoidance patterns, and modify skill deficits.
Objectives. (1) Describe the BA model of illness and treatment; (2) Summarize common clinical challenges in perinatal depression; (3) Describe specific treatment techniques; (4) Outline how to measure mechanisms of productive therapeutic change, and (5) Guide you on next steps towards achieving competency and adherence in BA.
About the Presenter. Dr. Gollan is an Associate Professor in Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine’s Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences in Chicago, IL. She obtained her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology at The University of Washington in Seattle in 1999, conducted her clinical internship at Brown University Medical School in Providence Rhode Island in 2000, and finished her postdoctoral training at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston MA in 2001. From 2001-2006, she worked as a clinical scholar at the Clinical Psychopharmacology and Neuroscience Research Unit in the Department of Psychiatry at The University of Chicago. Since 2006, Dr. Gollan has worked as a faculty member at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in the Psychiatry Department. She is an Illinois licensed clinical psychologist and directs The Affective Science and Treatment lab. This lab is focused on identifying novel bio-behavioral mechanisms of treatment response for depression, tracking change and deficits in emotion and motivation in women in the perinatal phase, and testing predictors and mechanisms of successful response to Behavioral Activation treatment. She has received continuous funding from federal and foundation sources since 2001.

Evaluation of Emotion, Personality and Internal Models of External Reality: Implications for psychological intervention
Presented by: Allan Harkness, Ph.D.
Topics: Evaluation and Assessment
Presenter: Allan Harkness, PhD – Dr. Harkness received his Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota (Clinical Psychology) in 1989. He is a Professor of Psychology and Director of the Institute for Biochemical and Psychological Study of Individual Differences at the University of Tulsa, in Tulsa, OK.
Overview. Adaptive function has provided a key to understanding cognitive and emotional psychological capacities, from the time that functionalism was a major school of psychology. Throughout the history of research psychology, a series of problems and issues have continually resurfaced, relating to five major functions in adapting to the external environment (Harkness, Reynolds, & Lilienfeld, 2014). This Webinar will link these functions to major themes in personality and psychopathology. Recognizing the adaptive functions behind cognition, emotional, and personality brings functionalism to psychopathology, allowing a critical change in perspective that can inform treatment planning.
Objectives. Participants will (1) learn to identify five major functions of adapting to external reality that have been major topics in psychological research throughout the history of the field and (2) be able to identify the connections between the major adaptive functions and various forms of psychopathology for case conceptualization.

The NIH Loan Repayment Programs: Helping Researchers Stay in Research Through Educational Debt Repayment
Presented by: Jill I. Mattia, Ph.D.
Topics: Professional Resources & Career Development
Presenter: Jill I. Mattia, Ph.D., is a Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years of experience in clinical research. She received her undergraduate and graduate degrees from The University of Connecticut and the State University of New York at Albany, respectively, and completed a clinical psychology internship at the Eastern Pennsylvania Psychiatric Institute at the Medical College of Pennsylvania. She went on to a Post-Doctoral Fellowship at the Brown University Clinical Psychology Training Consortium and stayed on at Brown in the Medical School as an Assistant Professor. She came to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) six years ago in the Division of Scientific Strategic Planning and Policy Analysis at NIHMD and moved over to the Office of the NIH Director in the Office of Extramural Programs four years ago as a Scientific Program Evaluation Specialist. Her research background includes a Director of Research position at a private company, three NIMH grants in psychiatric assessment totaling approximately $1 million, and one NIH internal evaluation award for approximately $392,000. Her experience includes expertise in design and quantitative methods, comparative treatment outcome investigations, population surveys, diagnostic assessment, psychiatric nosological boundaries, and test construction.
Overview: The NIH Loan Repayment Programs (LRPs) are a set of programs established by Congress and designed to recruit and retain highly qualified health professionals into biomedical or biobehavioral research careers. The escalating costs of advanced education and training in medicine and clinical specialties are forcing some scientists to abandon their research careers for higher-paying private industry or private practice careers. The LRPs counteract that financial pressure by repaying up to $35,000 annually of a researcher’s qualified educational debt in return for a commitment to engage in NIH mission-relevant research. Since tomorrow’s medical breakthroughs will be made by investigators starting in their research careers today, the LRPs represent an important investment by NIH in the future of health discovery and the wellbeing of the Nation. There are five LRPs for extramural researchers. Research funding from NIH is not required to participate in the extramural LRPs, and extramural LRP awardees may apply for subsequent, competitive renewal awards as long as they meet Program eligibility. Although organized around broad research areas, the LRPs were never intended to fund research projects. Rather, LRP awards are based on an applicant’s potential to build and sustain a research career.

Ethical Issues in Providing Services to Governmental Agencies
Presented by: Dr. David Corey
Topics: Ethics in Psychology
Presenter: Dr. Corey is a practicing psychologist who specializes in conducting psychological evaluations for government agencies (local, county, state, and federal) in six states and consulting to federal agencies across the United States. He is board certified by the American Board of Professional Psychology in forensic psychology and police and public safety psychology, and he is the founding president of the American Board of Police & Public Safety Psychology. Dr. Corey is a fellow of the American Psychological Association, was recently elected as a representative of Division 18 (Psychologists in Public Service) to the APA Council of Representatives, and is a member of the ABPP Board of Trustees. He has authored or co-authored more than 25 published peer-reviewed articles, book chapters and books, mostly on topics pertaining to high-stakes evaluations of police and public safety applicants and incumbent employees.
Overview: The presenter’s practice has focused on services to government agencies (federal, state and local) for more than 35 years. In this webinar, Dr. Corey will discuss ethical challenges unique to working in the government context, as well as strategies for resolving them. In addition, the sometimes dangerous missions and activities of some government agencies can expose psychologists working in them to trauma, either directly or vicariously, and this kind of “practice
in extremis” (Johnson et al., 2011) carries additional risks that require mitigation, and advice for undertaking such steps also will be presented. Two models of professional practice will be discussed as foundations for working with and in government agencies: process consultation (Schein, 1989) and scientist-practitioner (LeJeune & Luoma, 2015; Raimy, 1950).
Objectives: (1) Identify no fewer than three ethical issues that are unique to the government context or that render their resolution more challenging. (2) Explain how
disclosure can satisfy ethical obligations when
informed consent is not within the psychologist’s authority to obtain. (3) Describe the potential adverse effects of providing psychological services
in extremis and how to mitigate those effects.

Privacy in the Digital Age: Implications for Clinical Practice
Presented by: Dr. Aaron Drummond
Topics: Ethics in Psychology | Psychotherapy & Clinical Practice | Technology
Presenter: Dr. Aaron Drummond is a cognitive psychologist with a particular interest in the way that humans and computers interact. Dr. Drummond’s specific research interests include the psychological effects of digital media use, privacy in the digital age, and the use of technology to aid low intensity CBT interventions for mild to moderate anxiety and depression.
Overview: In 2012, privacy breaches exposed the confidential health data of 22.5 million U.S. citizens. Ensuing the privacy of clients is essential in clinical psychology, and a task that has become increasingly complex as technology has evolved. Many current professional guidelines for clinical practice do not consider issues pertaining to potential privacy breaches from sources such as human error, malicious acts, metadata, and surveillance (e.g. APA, 2007, APS, 2013, BPS 2011). By reviewing potential sources of privacy breaches arising from electronic storage and communications use, key areas that might result in privacy breaches are identified – e.g. human error, malicious acts. We conclude with best practice recommendations regarding electronic storage and communication, software choices, and spyware removal designed to minimize privacy risk in mental health care. These recommendations need to be regularly reviewed to continue to minimize the risk of privacy-related breaches in the context of ongoing technological development.
Objectives: (1) Describe the major sources of electronic privacy breaches (2) Select appropriate electronic communication tools to minimize the risk of electronic privacy breaches; (3) Prepare an action plan to minimize the risk of electronic privacy breaches in clinical practice.

Overview: The painful experiences encountered in life may not only lead to problems in functioning, including a variety of behavioral problems ranging from substance abuse to relationship problems, they may also impact our mental health and sense of well-being for long periods of time. Many of the attempts to recover from these experiences involve regaining control over thoughts, sensations, and emotions as the path to living well. While some attempt to control these experiences can be expected and useful, many attempts to control thoughts, sensations, and emotions result in a furthering of the suffering. Mindfulness can be used to reduce these often rigid and inflexible attempts to control negative internal experience by fostering a sense of conscious awareness to the same. Mindfulness work includes assisting clients to develop an awareness to the process and ongoing flow of experience and may be used to facilitate a broader perspective of life and a sense of connectedness with others. Clients engaging in mindfulness may come to see that suffering is a universal experience and this can facilitate greater acceptance of the challenges of life. Mindfulness practice may also help to improve concentration, allowing greater focus in the activities undertaken life as well as promote affect tolerance. It may help clients to cope with stress, anger, and other forms of emotional difficulty. Clients may come to see thoughts and feelings as transient experiences, helping to decrease identification with momentary affective states. Mindfulness can assist clients in experiencing internal events fully and as they are without self-judgment and the added struggle against reality. In a similar way, mindfulness can facilitate finding peace with painful memories. Finally, by fully engaging in the present, life may be experienced in a richer, fuller way. The current presentation explores the use of mindfulness in the treatment of mental health issues.
Objectives: (1) state a rationale for why mindfulness can be helpful to in the treatment of mental health issues; (2) summarize the benefits of mindfulness in mental health populations; and (3) describe the utility of mindfulness in creating psychological flexibility, a key contributor to well-being.

Competency-based Clinical Supervision: The Missing Ingredient
Presented by: Drs. Carol Falender and Edward Shafranske
Topics: Supervision
Presenters: Dr. Carol Falender is a Fellow of the American Psychological Association (APA) and was President of Division 37, Society for Child and Family Policy and Practice (APA). She is an Adjunct Professor at Pepperdine University and Clinical Professor in the UCLA Department of Psychology.

In addition, he serves as Associate Clinical Professor of Psychiatry (Voluntary), School of Medicine, University of California, Irvine, and maintains a clinical practice in Irvine, CA.
Overview: This webinar presents competency-based clinical supervision as integral to the training and implementation of evidence-based practice. The approach is consistent with the foundational principles of competency-based education and training in which competencies are articulated and systematically assessed (rather than presumed). As evidence based practices have been adopted a first step has been taken to ensure that the models have been implemented as they were designed, intended, and supported by evidence— with fidelity. Supervision has been included as one of the components of implementation and as a mechanism to ensure fidelity; however, full consideration of the component parts of supervision have been largely omitted from discussion and as a result have not been part of the adoption roll-out of evidence-based practices. Increasingly researchers have become aware of this omission and are discussing next steps to ensure the supervision process is integral to the treatment and is in keeping with the parameters of the model. Discussion will also focus on movement from strictly fidelity-based supervision to competency-based supervision, advancing competence through deliberate practice, and specific examples in which researchers have identified costs associated with less systematic supervision practice.
Objectives: (1) Describe the role of clinical supervision in the training and implementation of evidence-based treatments; (2) Describe two major features of competency-based clinical supervision; (3) Identify three parts of the learning cycle employed in competency-based clinical supervision.
