Coherence therapy is a set of methods and concepts for bringing about profound shifts and the cessation of a wide range of symptoms in far fewer sessions than is expected in most depth-oriented psychotherapies. Its experiential methods serve as a therapist's GPS for accurately finding the specific, unconscious, adaptive emotional learnings maintaining symptoms and then guiding the dissolution of those subcortical schemas, releasing their choke-hold and ending symptom production. Videos of real sessions demonstrate this subjectively rich coherence-focused work. Also described is corroboration from the recent neurobiological discovery of how ingrained emotional memory circuits become unlocked and unwired.

Although the experience of loss is universal, the paths we take through it can be surprisingly diverse, with some mourners moving through the changed terrain of their lives with surprising resilience, while others encounter severe obstacles or even dead ends. This program reviews evidence bearing on different trajectories through bereavement, both adaptive and maladaptive, and considers the relevance of attachment theory and meaning reconstruction processes in explaining the latter and promoting the former. Drawing on narrative and neurological models, amply illustrated with clinical material and scientific research, this course examines complicated grief as a profound disruption of both the bonds that tie us to others and the self-narrative that gives us a sense of coherence over time, and offers concrete tools for its concepualization and diagnosis.

Mastery and maintenance of self-regulation skills are impeded by the individual's habitual knee-jerk response to frustration, perceived threats, or environmental stressors. In this intermediate workshop, participants will be introduced to the "Affect Regulation Tool Box," a set of therapeutic tools that incorporates hypnosis, cognitive behavioral approaches, and mindfulness. There will be an emphasis on training patients to identify the start of an overreactive response and to take immediate interruptive breaks to self-regulate with effective affect regulation interventions.

Countertransference phenomena, the emotional responses of psychotherapists to their patients, are an inevitable component of psychotherapy. How psychotherapists feel about their patients provides important clinical data that influences the treatment process. In contrast to classical psychoanalytic thinking that represents the personal reactions of the psychotherapist as irrelevant or detrimental, more recent ideas understand these reactions as opportunities to enhance the treatment process.

Countertransference rage and hatred are particularly threatening topics. Psychotherapists are healers who care for their patients. To acknowledge hostile feelings towards a patient takes courage and professional maturity. How to make effective use of these feelings in understanding and managing the treatment relationship is challenging and risky. Nevertheless, hatred in its various forms is inevitable in a profession where exposure to intense affect is routine. In the treatment of personality disorders where the therapist is invited to reenact certain aggressive roles, the alternative to experiencing hatred may be affective numbing and stonewalling.

This symposium, originally presented at the 2005 APA Convention in Washington D.C., brings together four experienced psychotherapists to discuss the theoretical aspects of countertransference anger and hatred and its management in practice.

What is the proper focus of evidence-based practice? Is it the treatment method, the psychotherapy relationship, the client as self-active healer, or principles based on the preponderance of evidence from the process-outcome research? In this program, five preeminent psychotherapy researchers advocate for these positions. A discussion by an expert in the area of psychotherapy integration emphasizes the need for methodological pluralism in understanding these different perspectives and a realistic stance when thinking about theory in the light of third-party reimbursement.

This symposium was organized by the Division of Psychotherapy for the 2005 annual convention of the American Psychological Association in Washington D.C. It is based on the 2006 book Evidence-based practices in mental health: Debate and dialogue on the fundamental questions edited by John C. Norcross, Larry E. Beutler, and APA past-president Ron F. Levant and published by the American Psychological Association.

Postmodern approaches to psychology and psychotherapy have enjoyed increasing popularity, emphasizing a view of knowledge as humanly constructed, fallible, and open to revision, and of psychotherapy as focusing on meaning-making, collaboration, and a plurality of perspectives. These concepts have a long history, the understanding of which may help us to more fully comprehend and embrace their implications. This workshop addresses the historical ancestry of postmodern psychology, beginning with a consideration of three perspectives from over 2000 years ago in ancient Greece, Rome, and India (Sophism, Skepticism, and Buddhism), and subsequently surveying more recent viewpoints from 19th and 20th Century Europe and America (Perspectivism, Pragmatism). The workshop then summarizes and synthesizes several postmodern themes and approaches to implementing a pluralistic perspective on psychology and psychotherapy.

The psychoanalytic treatment process, involving exploration of emotional experience in the context of a relationship, has informed all types of psychotherapy being practiced today. Its impact can be seen in behavioral, interpersonal and experiential therapies, as well as the many different forms of psychodynamic treatment. Freud was prescient in many respects in his theory of the treatment process; as in any complex theory, however, the basic premises and their therapeutic applications need to be continuously open to examination and revision in the light of new scientific knowledge. My goal is to formulate a modern theory of the psychoanalytic treatment process, and its various changing forms, in the light of current work in cognitive science and affective neuroscience. Such a theoretical framework is needed to provide a basis for research on mediating and moderating variables associated with change in different forms of psychotherapy, and to address questions concerning what treatment methods may be most effective for different types of patients.

In this session, you will be introduced to the technique of statistical moderation. You will learn how moderation and mediation differ in certain respects, and I will teach you how Baron and Kenny conceptualize it. I will show you how to go through the steps to prepare your data and compute the linear regressions necessary for determining whether you have significant moderation or not. Further, I will discuss how to conduct moderation on several other statistical platforms (i.e., structural equation modeling, multi-level modeling, and bootstrapping).

The use of mindfulness methods and techniques in psychotherapy has enjoyed increasing popularity. This workshop addresses the theoretical roots of mindfulness in Buddhist psychology, beginning with the Middle Way theory of Mādhyamika Buddhism, which demonstrates the interdependence, impermanence, and emptiness (lack of essence) of phenomena and proposes viewing phenomena as conventionally real but not having inherent reality. We next consider the concept of self from this perspective of emptiness, applying the understanding of “no-self,” and emphasizing how psychological dysfunction arises when we reify conventional concepts such as self and treat them as having inherent existence. Subsequently, we survey meditation techniques, focusing on awareness of created mental processes and immediate physical sensations as a way to assist in seeing that phenomena, including self, lack permanent essence. The workshop then articulates a rationale for the use of mindfulness in psychotherapy and describes examples of mindfulness methods and techniques from various psychotherapy approaches.
