Description d'atelier:
Promoting science, practice and education in psychology is core to CPA’s mandate and critical to the successful impact of the discipline and the profession. Support for research facilitates the creation and dissemination of knowledge and support for practice helps to ensure that people receive the services they need. Many of CPA’s and Canadian psychology’s constituencies recognize the need for training in advocacy and how to impact public policy. Advocacy can vary in its focus and its target audience. We advocate for funding, policy and legislation, and health services just to name a few.  We advocate to granting councils, politicians at the federal, provincial and municipal levels, to health care administrators and the public. This workshop, facilitated by Dr. John Service, Director of CPA’s Practice Directorate, Tyler Stacey-Holmes (CPA’s Manager of Association Development, Membership and Public Relations) and Meagan Hatch (CPA’s Manager of Government Relations) will provide participants with an understanding of how, what, when where and why’s of advocacy.  The session will begin with an overview of advocacy, focusing on how government works and bills are passed and then on the how to’s of communication both within and outside the discipline and profession.  Participants will then break out into sessions – depending on the interests and needs of the group, one will focus on advocating for science and another for practice.  The break out sessions will provide some hands-on training on how to take an issue from concept to strategy to “ask”. Participants will come together in a closing section to share their learnings from the break out sessions.

Lieu: l'Hôtel Delta - 1990 rue Barrington, Halifax, Nouvelle-Écosse
Room: TBD
Duration: 9h00 - 17h00
Atelier Description: "Be empathetic," they say. "Be warm. Build up an effective working alliance." But we seldom hear exactly HOW these mysterious tasks are to be accomplished. The so-called non-specific factors in therapy are acknowledged to account for the lion's share of variability in psychotherapy outcome, but they are seldom made explicit. Whether one adopts a therapy model believed to work entirely through the alliance, or a technique-focussed model such as cognitive behaviour therapy, an effective working relationship between clinician and client is a prerequisite for change. This workshop presents specific, behavioural practices designed to maximize therapeutic progress. Topics covered include: orienting clients to therapy, marking the transition from assessment to treatment, getting on the same page with regard to the goal of therapy, creating an effective session from waiting room to farewell, therapist nonverbal behaviour, microcommunication strategies (closed-ended questions can be a very good thing), macrocommunication strategies (selective validation, self-disclosure, shifting the focus from pathology to strength, and the careful use of honesty), techniques for marking out your most important points, coping with client resistance and noncompliance, and dealing with breakdowns in the alliance. The emphasis throughout is on specific strategies rather than generalities.

 

Atelier # 5

Titre:
SEX IS NATURAL, SEX IS FUN: GIRLS’ AND WOMEN’S SEXUAL WELL-BEING
Commandité par:
Lucia O'Sullivan, University of New Brunswick
Authors Bio:
Lucia O’Sullivan studies sexual communication and decision-making among young people, the array of risk and protective factors associated with sexual health, and changes in the roles and interactions defining the intimate relationships of adolescents and young adults. Her research advances what is known about present-day risks threatening the physical and social well-being of Canadian youth, but contributes to the mounting evidence that the best interventions enhance protective factors of young people and do not simply attempt to reduce, eliminate, or prevent risk.

Lieu:
l'Hôtel Delta - 1990 rue Barrington, Halifax, Nouvelle-Écosse
Room: TBD
Duration:
9h00 - 17h30
Atelier Description:
This day-long preconvention institute will focus on women’s sexual well-being — that is, factors that contribute to women experiencing their sexuality positively across the lifespan. Researchers have tended to problematize women’s sexuality focusing on sexual problems, sexual dysfunction, sexual violence, unwanted pregnancy, and sexually transmitted infections. In contrast, this institute will focus on factors that contribute to girls and women diverse in sexual orientation and gender identity experiencing their sexuality positively. Topics may include experiencing positive sexual self-esteem, a sense of agency, sexual pleasure, arousal and orgasm, positive body image, expression of diversity, and sexual satisfaction. The institute will start with a keynote speaker (Dr. Lucia O'Sullivan) who will provide an overview of issues related women sexual well being in general, and adolescent girls' sexual well-being in particular. This introduction will be followed by individual theoretical and empirical paper presentations, arranged thematically, but selected from submissions to a call for papers to represent diverse aspects of girls’ and women’s sexual well-being.

Lieu:
l'Hôtel Delta - 1990 rue Barrington, Halifax, Nouvelle-Écosse
Room: TBD
Duration:
9h00 - 16h30
Atelier Description:
Intensive Short-term Dynamic Psychotherapy now has a building evidence base with over 20 published outcome studies including clients with personality disorder, panic disorder, treatment resistant depression and a range of somatoform disorders. Several studies show it to be cost effective, resulting in reduced medical service use, hospital costs, medication costs and disability costs. This videotape-based workshop will review the current state of evidence for short-term psychodynamic psychotherapy methods and then will focus on Davanloo’s Intensive Short-term Dynamic Psychotherapy as developed at McGill University. Videotapes will be used to present evaluative and treatment processes of this method across the spectra of suitable patients for this approach. Such cases include patients with no personality disorder, with severe personality disorders with dissociation, those with high resistance with primarily distancing behaviours, and those with high resistance with depression/somatization. The main emphasis will be on the use of videotape segments to highlight unconscious operations, evaluation of these operations and working with the client to address what is learned through specific, timed interventions.
