NEW DVDs on BRIEF THERAPY, NARRADRAMA, AND MULTIMODAL THERAPY
FROM PSYCHOTHERAPY.NET
New DVDs on Brief Therapy, Narradrama, and Multimodal Therapy (and more coming soon!)
Down Every Year (http://www.psychotherapy.net/video/Bruce_Ecker_Down_Every_Year) shows Bruce Ecker, MFT conducting a masterful session of Depth Oriented Brief Therapy. We think you'll be impressed as Ecker helps the client access and work through deep material in a single session.
Exploring Narradrama (http://www.psychotherapy.net/video/Exploring_Narradrama_Pam_Dunne) showcases an innovative approach to working with teenage girls in a group home in Los Angeles. Combining aspects of narrative and drama therapy, Narradrama is especially useful with challenging populations that need more than traditional sit-down talk therapy.
Arnold Lazarus: Live Case Consultation (http://www.psychotherapy.net/video/Lazarus_Live_Consultation) shows this legendary founder of Multimodal Therapy (a form of CBT) providing consultation to therapists on difficult cases. This video is valuable both for learning about Multimodal Therapy as well as how this approach is applied in consultation or supervision. Watch for videos coming very soon featuring Rollo May, Zerka Moreno and many others.

EFFECTS OF A SECURE ATTACHMENT ON RIGHT BRAIN DEVELOPMENT, REGULATORY CAPACITIES, AND INTERACTIVE REPAIR
November 14 – 15, 2007

BRITISH COLUMBIA MINISTRY OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY DEVELOPMENT
Vancouver Island Regional Education and Training Department presents essential training for all employees working directly with children and families

November 14-15, 2007
Malaspina University, Nanaimo, BC
9 – 3:30 pm, Malaspina Theatre (www.mala.ca for location and parking)
Workshop Description:
Over the last ten years the basic knowledge of brain structure and function has vastly expanded to integrate developmental sciences with studies of human development. In this two-part workshop, the studies of dyadic affective communications and neuroscience will be integrated to provide a deeper understanding of the immediate effects of attachment on an infant’s brain development. This model suggests that adaptive infant mental health can be fundamentally defined as the earliest expression of flexible strategies for coping with the novelty and stress that is inherent in human interactions. This efficient right brain function is a resilience factor for optimal development over later stages of the life cycle.
Join Us for Effects of a Secure Attachment… and You Will….
Understand the underlying neurobiological regulatory structures and functions that predict secure attachment patterns
Learn how a history of early relational trauma severely alters attachment dynamics and right brain neurobiology, and generates a predisposition for mental health disorders and dissociation
Learn how this knowledge can be used by you to make decisions on issues of protection & placement, adoption, and can be used to treat attachment disorders
Understand how this regulation model applies to the attachment relationship embedded in all subsequent relationships, including implications for understanding non-verbal interactions
Registration and Information:
If you require any additional information, or would like someone to make a presentation to your team about this workshop, please call Dr. L. Reynolds (250-954-4750) who would be pleased to meet with you. Contact Dr. Reynolds for registration information.

INTIMACY AND SEXUAL ABUSE: EXPLORING RELATIONSHIPS AND SEXUALITY IN THE WAKE OF TRAUMA
Nov 16 - 17
Vancouver, BC
SENSORIMOTOR PSYCHOTHERAPY INSTITUTE Founded by Pat Ogden, PhD Presents
Intimacy and Sexual Abuse: Exploring Relationships and Sexuality In The Wake Of Trauma
A workshop with Kekuni Minton, PhD Co-author with Pat Ogden, PhD of “Trauma and the Body:
A Sensorimotor Approach to Psychotherapy” Trauma leaves one in a shattered and reactive state that carries the defensive reactions of the traumatic past into current relationships. Intimacy necessitates the capacity to differentiate from one’s past reactive patterns and get present in the here and now. How can these two realities be integrated? In this workshop we explore how Sensorimotor (body) processing facilitates moving through trauma and toward differentiation and intimacy.
Kekuni Minton, Ph.D., is a founding trainer of SPI and a faculty member at Naropa University. His doctoral thesis in clinical psychology focused on somatic relational therapy and he has special interests in meditation and cultural trauma. He was the resident psychotherapist at the Boulder County AIDS Project, and has presented at a variety of conferences internationally.

TRAINING FOR THE TREATMENT OF TRAUMA: Part I
Begins December 7
Vancouver, BC
THE SENSORIMOTOR PSYCHOTHERAPY INSTITUTE Presents “TRAINING for the TREATMENT OF TRAUMA: Part I” Traditional psychotherapy addresses the cognitive and emotional elements of trauma, but lacks techniques that work directly with the physiological elements, despite the fact that trauma profoundly affect the body and many symptoms of traumatized individuals are somatically driven. Sensorimotor Psychotherapy based on contemporary research in neuroscience, attachment and trauma theory, integrates both cognitive and somatic methods in the treatment of trauma, attachment, and developmental issues. Attachment and developmental elements of the trauma survivor’s experience will be differentiated from the traumatic and somatic aspects, and participants will explore how to work somatically with each element and how to address their inevitable intertwining.
In this 108-hour course, participants will learn the theoretical model and necessary skills to work with trauma using Sensorimotor Psychotherapy.
INSTRUCTORS:
Pat Ogden, Ph.D. - Kekuni Minton, Ph D. –Celia Grand, LCSW, BCD
Pat Ogden, Ph.D., has been a pioneer in somatic psychotherapy and the treatment of trauma and developmental issues since the late 1970's. Trained in a wide variety of somatic approaches, she is a Structural Integrator (Rolf Method), a cofounder of the Hakomi Institute, and faculty at Naropa University.
A frequent speaker at conferences internationally, she is the founder and director of the Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Institute
Plaza 500 Hotel - Vancouver, B.C.
