This presentation explores the role of psychoanalytically-informed, hospital-based care in the diagnosis and treatment of psychiatry’s most treatment-refractory patients. Object relations theory and Bion’s exposition of group psychological processes inform an understanding of transference-counter transference phenomena which endow the psychoanalytic hospital with its uniquely mutative potential.

People who suffer with scrupulosity, as a subtype of OCD, can experience a range of challenges getting treatment, such as invalidation of actual spiritual and religious practice (or lack thereof) or becoming overly in obsessional loops and compulsive behaviors. Clinicians often must wade through poorer insight and additional resistance. SCRUPULOSITY: Treating Religious, Moral, and Spiritual Manifestations of OCD invites a brief but comprehensive study into the history of OCD itself—which involves clergy and church history, offering attendees evidence-based tools and resources for best results.

Have you ever been faced with a client with a BFRB and not known how to approach treatment? Hair pulling and skin picking disorders (Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors or BFRBs) are fairly common, yet treatment information is lacking, and knowledgeable treatment providers are scarce. This talk seeks to address the dearth of available, evidence-based treatment by providing a comprehensive description of what BFRBs are (and what they are not), information on how to conceptualize BFRBs utilizing an individualized approach based upon a functional analysis, as well as specific treatment guidelines for building an individualized treatment plan. Participants will learn to diagnose, conceptualize, and treat BFRBs utilizing a functional analytic approach that is tailored to the individual. Dealing with treatment resistance, co-morbid disorders, and addressing shame will all be covered in this thorough clinical training taught by two recognized experts in the field of BFRBs, Time will be allotted for clinical questions and case conceptualization.

Contamination OCD is a common but challenging-to-treat form of obsessive-compulsive disorder that represents roughly half of its cases. This program teaches clinicians how to treat contamination OCD using the functional-based Mastery treatment approach, a synthesis of exposure and response prevention (ERP), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and emerging literature on the use of judicious safety behaviors to improve functioning in cases where triggers do not directly habituate. This is a humane and well-tolerated approach that is well suited to contamination OCD cases such as disgust, neurodiversity and more, and has now been taught and implemented at major clinics nationwide. This presentation will teach clinicians how to use the Mastery approach, a functional approach to ERP designed for cases that do not respond to traditional ERP, such as disgust or other non-habituating triggers, neurodiversity, co-morbidities and more.

Productive and meaningful therapy often hinges on a clear understanding of the worldview of the client. Deepened, more empathic understanding of clients would be enhanced by knowledge of how such individual worldviews arise and evolve. Such information about the construction of individual meaning systems is now available, based upon rigorous longitudinal research. The goal of this presentation is to summarize this emerging knowledge in a way that makes clear its clinical relevance.

Psychotherapists are powerful and often under-utilized allies in engaging our patients in effective use of psychiatric medication. Learn how effective communication between prescribers and psychotherapists can advance “treatment-resistant” patients forward while simultaneously enhancing clinician’s fulfillment in their work. Go beyond discussing neurotransmitters and into the heart of what taking psychiatric medication means to our patients. Address fears of dependency, loss of identity, weakness, and loss of control. Understand how attachment styles, medical trauma, and minority status predict medication side effects. Cultivate in patients an internal locus of control and self-advocacy skills to reduce side effect burden. Learn what information psychiatric medication prescribers really want to hear from psychotherapists and vice versa. Together, we are powerful allies in moving treatment forward. This presentation will help clinicians discuss medications in ways that empower their clients to more effectively engage in psychiatric treatment.
