Class 1

Assessment of Co-Occurring Disorders

10:00 AM - 1:00 PM EST

In our work, we often encounter people with mental health disorders that also struggle with symptoms of substance use disorders. The two together can be overwhelming to treat and difficult to diagnose.  This class looks at diagnosing co-occurring disorders in particular, approaching this from several perspectives in order to create a multi-dimensional understanding of co-occurring disorders.

It does this by reviewing the DSM-V-TR and cross-referencing it with the work of E. Morton Jellinek as well as the insight we all have into substance use disorders based on understanding these conditions as a family disease; while many clinicians, particularly new ones, can feel lost when it comes to understanding and treating substance use, it is likely that we all know people who struggle with this class of disorders.

Class 2

Oh, You Got Jokes Now: The Role of Humor as Intervention in the Clinical Relationship

1:45 PM - 4:45 PM EST

This class provides a "deep dive" into the ethical and mindful use of humor as intervention in psychotherapy and other helping professions.  Over the course of the class, participants will learn about the known history of humor in our species and in the psychotherapy profession.  The research about humor, both as used in psychotherapy and as studied more widely, will be reviewed.  We will explore humor in light of various theories including power dynamics, CBT, DBT, and SFBT.  

Through all of this, several primary purposes and uses of humor will be identified.  We will also explore potential signs that humor is the wrong choice in the moment.  The instructor will share their own experiences with using humor well in session, and participants will have the chance to share their own stories.
