MSPP becoming William James College,
Graduate Education in Psychology
For four decades, the Massachusetts School of Professional
Psychology (MSPP) has been on an upward trajectory:
enhancing the quality of its academic programs, increasing
its reach into the community, forming relationships with key
partners, and growing to educate and train more of the kind
of graduates that the community needs. For some time, MSPP
has referred to itself as a ‘college of psychology.’ Now is the
time for MSPP to own that label. This spring we will change
our name to William James College, Graduate Education
in Psychology. William James (1842-1910), the founder of
American psychology, is considered to be one of the most
influential and innovative thinkers of the 19th century, and he
was the mentor to, among others, John Dewey, the architect
of experiential learning.
Learn more at www.mspp.edu/williamjames
As always, MSPP continues to offer a wide range of continuing
education programs. Our courses, seminars, workshops
and certificate programs are designed to provide educators,
mental health, health and business professionals with the
knowledge you need to take your career to the next level.
Topics are cutting-edge and highly relevant. Taught by
seasoned professionals, our programs are held at times that are
convenient for you: days, evenings, even weekends!
At MSPP, we’re here to help you gain the skills and knowledge
you need to succeed, and there’s no better time to get started
than now!

Friday, February 20, 2015
9:00 am – 4:30 pm at MSPP
Friday, March 20, 2015
9:00 am – 4:30 pm at MSPP
John Gunderson, MD, instructor
Herbert Benson, MD and
Ann Webster, PhD, instructors
This workshop offers training in an
empirically validated treatment approach
General Psychiatric Management (GPM),
which has been demonstrated to equal
Dialectical Behavior Therapy’s (DBT)
effectiveness in treating patients with
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). This
GPM program teaches clinicians what they
need to know to become competent providers
who can derive satisfaction from treating
borderline patients. Management strategies
such as involving practicality, good sense,
and flexibility are emphasized. Listening,
validation, judicious self-disclosures and
admonishments create a positive relationship
in which both the clinicians’ concerns and
limitations are explicit. Techniques and
interventions that facilitate the patient’s
trust and willingness to become a proactive
collaborator will be described. Guidelines
for managing the common and usually most
burdensome issue of managing suicidality
and self-harm (e.g. intersession crises,
threats as a call-for-help, and excessive use
of ER’s or hospitals) will be reviewed. The
workshop utilizes small group and large
group discussion, video clips and clinical
vignettes to promote interactive learning
and a comprehensive understanding of the
treatment.

Mind Body Medicine recognizes the interaction between stress and physical, psychological, social, behavioral, cultural and spiritual
issues in illness. Therapists need to understand this biopsychosocial model, its terminology, and the efficacy and cost-effectiveness
of mind body techniques. This workshop
will provide a comprehensive review of how
mind body interactions impact physiologic
resilience and how they work synergistically
within the intricate medium of the stress system to sustain health. The program, which is
both didactic and experiential, will describe
the foundation of mind body medicine,
research advances, and the role of stress in illness. It will provide a “tool kit” of techniques
for preventing illnesses, maximizing health,
and treating a wide variety of patients and
conditions.

PTSD: Effective Ways to Assess
and Treat Survivors of Trauma
Saturday, March 21, 2015
9:00 am – 4:30 pm at MSPP
Terence M. Keane, PhD, instructor
This program is designed for practitioners
working with patients who have been
exposed to life-threatening or traumatic
events and who develop Posttraumatic Stress
Disorder (PTSD). PTSD is one of the most
prevalent of all psychological disorders and
is being more readily recognized in clinical
practices worldwide. Participants will learn
contemporary methods for assessing patients
with PTSD and will also learn current
models for screening for PTSD in primary
care, mental health, and substance abuse
clinics. Case presentations and lecturing
on the various forms of psychotherapy that
possess a strong evidence base will constitute
the key components of this workshop.

Keeping the Spark Alive: Burnout, Grief, and Spirituality in our

Friday, May 1, 2015
9:00 am – 4:30 pm at MSPP
David Treadway, PhD, instructor
This workshop will address burn-out
prevention in both our professional and
personal lives. We will discuss the nature of
therapy and the life of being a therapist and
we will address the positive and negative
impact for many of us growing up as care
givers in our family of origin and being
dependent on our identity as caregivers in
our immediate families, friendships, and
work. Participants will learn new strategies
such as the “directed letter writing,” “the
Cost per program soft-boiled egg meditation,” and the “you’re
not it” mantra for addressing the sometimes
overwhelming grief and helplessness in
our work and in our lives. We will explore
our own spiritual and healing journeys
in relationship to both our work and our
personal experience and do the “Small step
to big changes” personal assessment exercise
that will allow us to identify three changes in
our lives that we can implement immediately
that will help us maintain a balanced and
satisfying life both in the office and at home.

This evidence-based workshop will explore
the rational use of dietary supplements
and botanicals in the treatment of anxiety,
depression and insomnia. Common features
of mindfulness-based training techniques
including the role of neuroplasticity and the
development of resilience will be discussed.
Distinguishing between pain and suffering
will be emphasized. The subtleties of referring a medical patient for psychological or
mind-body therapy (“I am not saying it is all
in your head”) will be addressed as well as
understanding the meaning of forgiveness
and its role in mental and physical health.
The importance of asking about spiritual
beliefs and practices in the clinical encounter
will be highlighted. Lastly, this workshop
will underscore the place of hope in the age
of evidence-based health care and ‘Energy
Medicine’—is there a scientific basis?

Fostering Resilience in TraumaImpacted Youth and Families:
Overview of the Attachment,
Self-Regulation, and Competency
(ARC) Treatment Framework
Friday, June 5, 2015
9:00 am – 4:30 pm at MSPP
Margaret E. Blaustein, PhD, instructor
The Attachment, Self-Regulation, and
Competency (ARC) framework is a corecomponents treatment model, developed to
provide a guiding framework for thoughtful
clinical intervention with youth and systems
impacted by complex trauma. Drawing from
the fields of trauma, attachment, and child
development, the framework recognizes the
importance of working with the child-in-context, of acknowledging the role of historical
experiences and adaptive responses in current
presentation, and of intervening with the
surrounding environment–whether primary
caregivers or treatment system–to support
and facilitate the child’s healthy growth and
development. This workshop will provide an
overview of the framework and its theoretical
foundations.

Collaborative and Proactive
Solutions: A Model for
Understanding and Helping
Kids with Social, Emotional and
Behavioral Challenges
Friday, June 12, 2015
9:00 am – 4:30 pm at MSPP
Ross W. Greene, PhD, instructor
Dr. Ross Greene first described his model
for understanding and helping kids with
behavioral challenges in published form in
his book, The Explosive Child, and more
recently in his book, Lost at School. Based
on research in the neurosciences over the
past 30-40 years, the empirically-supported
Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS)
model posits that challenging behavior is the
result of lagging cognitive skills, especially in
the domains of flexibility/adaptability, frus-
4
tration tolerance, and problem-solving. CPS
helps adults and kids collaboratively solve the
problems precipitating challenging behavior.
The model, which represents a dramatic
departure from conventional wisdom and
practice, has been found to be highly effective in an array of settings, including families,
general and special education schools, therapeutic group homes, and inpatient, residential
and juvenile detention facilities. Participants
in this workshop will leave with an understanding of the underpinnings of the CPS
model, along with practical assessment and
intervention tools that can be brought back
to and used in these diverse settings.

Integrative Psychotherapy:
Healing the MindBodyMatrix
Friday, June 19, 2015
9:00 am – 4:30 pm at MSPP
Martha Stark, MD, instructor
Dr. Stark’s interest has long been in creating
a holistic conceptual framework that captures
the essence of what is involved in the process
of healing, whether of the mind or of the
body. To that end, she has coined the word
MindBodyMatrix, a term that speaks to the
complex interdependence of mind and body;
it also reflects a keen appreciation for the
intimate and precise relationship between the
health and vitality of the mind and that of
the body. By way of interventions that alternately challenge (when possible) and support
(when necessary), the healthcare practitioner
will precipitate disruption in order to trigger
repair–the patient now stronger as a result
of having mastered the impact (psychologically, physiologically, and energetically) of the
therapist’s “optimally stressful” interventions.
By way of working through the cumulative
impact of environmental stressors, the MindBodyMatrix will ultimately evolve to a higher
level of functionality, adaptive capacity, and
mental/ physical health.

Collaboration Between Peers and Professionals:
How Lived and Learned Experience Contribute to Recovery
Friday, April 24, 2015 | 2:30 – 5:00 pm at MSPP
Knowledge, skills and perspectives in mental health work come from both those who have
learned it through professional preparation and those who have lived it themselves and
through family and community. This calls for collaboration between these (sometimes overlapping) groups. And both should involve those receiving mental health services in the care
process as participants rather than passive recipients, as they can bring inspiring stories of
recovery. This Lindemann Lecture brings together mental health peer and professional practitioners to explore and illustrate these principles.

The Psychodynamics of Internal Family Systems
with Richard Schwartz, PhD, Founding Developer, Internal Family Systems
Thursday, March 26, 2015 | 8:45 am – 5:00 pm
at the Fairmont Copley Plaza Hotel, Boston, MA
Both Internal Family Systems (IFS) and
Psychodynamic Psychotherapy focus on the
internal registering of early-on traumatogenic
experiences within the child’s developing
mind. Both treatment approaches deeply
appreciate the dysfunctional impact these
inner schemas have on how subsequent experiences are interpreted and organized; further, both schools contend that individuals
who have suffered at the hands of their parents will continue to enact their unresolved
childhood dramas throughout life, until they
have had an opportunity to process and integrate the unmastered relational experiences
that have given rise to their maladaptive ways
of acting, reacting, and interacting. Both
IFS and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy are
“depth approaches” that offer such an opportunity. Psychodynamic Psychotherapy focuses on the gradual and spontaneous emergence
of insight into the unconscious conflicts and
psychodynamics that created the internal
tensions interfering with actualization of
the patient’s potential. IFS, while striving
to achieve the same therapeutic goal, takes
a somewhat divergent path. IFS is a more
directive and focused method of treatment
that prompts patients to delve into the psychodynamics of their interior world, where
their inner resistances can be disarmed, the
exiled parts of the Self accessed, and competing internal “voices” categorized into discrete
subpersonalities. With curiosity and compassion, IFS therapist and patient can then work
collaboratively to facilitate development of a
more harmonious relationship between and
amongst the various dissociated and conflictual “parts” of the Self, the ultimate goal
being the promotion of integration, transformation, healing, and empowerment.
Upon completion of this pre-conference
institute, participants will be able to:
1. Explain the similarities between IFS
and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy
2. Describe the differences between IFS
and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy
3. Speak to the ways in which IFS conceptualizes the internal recording of
early-on traumatogenic experiences
4. Understand the ways in which IFS promotes psychic health, integration and
empowerment.

the impact of culture in changes to DSM-5
and how to incorporate cultural information into diagnostic practice through the
use of the Cultural Formulation Interview
(CFI). Presenters will address the political
Guayasamin, Ecuadorian Artist
and social circumstances of recent migrations from Central and South America. We
will outline the intersecting concerns and
vulnerabilities of these immigrants within a
life course theory frame. The view of the US
as a promised land for the Central American
refugees will be contrasted with the mainstream media view of the refugees as diseased
and burdensome. The reality of minors arriving to reunite with family members will be
explored. Implications for treatment of both
unaccompanied refugee minors and domestic
sex trafficked minors will be discussed

The Annual Conference on Haitian Mental Health brings together practitioners,
researchers, educators, public health officials, faith-based and spiritual leaders,
community advocates, and policymakers whose current work can inform the
development of a comprehensive, community-based, and culturally-oriented mental
health agenda for Haitians in the Diaspora.
The primary aim of the Annual Conference
is to provide an intellectually stimulating
forum where attendees can engage in a
meaningful discourse on the mental health
needs of the Haitian community; learn
from leading scholars in the field; network
with other professionals with a strong
interest in, passion for, and commitment
to promoting the health and well-being
of Haitian immigrants; and exchange
knowledge, information, and data on
culturally-oriented theoretical inquiries,
clinical practices, treatment interventions,
research, and policy-based initiatives.
In addition to offering cutting-edge
presentations, workshops, and networking
opportunities, the Conference is intended
to commemorate Haitian Heritage Month
through a series of cultural events and
an annual art exhibition that celebrate
the rich history, values, and traditions of
Haitian culture.

Internal Family Systems Therapy:
A New Paradigm for
Healing Severe Trauma
Saturday, June 13, 2015
9:00 am – 4:30 pm at MSPP
Frank Anderson, MD and
Richard C. Schwartz, PhD, instructors
Clients who experience severe childhood abuse often carry a
diagnosis of Disorganized Attachment or Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) and can present some of the most difficult
challenges for therapists. The extreme nature of their symptoms often leaves the therapists feeling confused, frustrated, scared and at times
totally overwhelmed. This workshop presents a radically new way of working with
this population. Traditional trauma treatment will be looked at through the Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) lens, showing how phase-oriented treatment;
including safety-stabilization, review and reappraisal and rehabilitation are handled
from the IFS perspective. Current neuroscience findings as they relate to the Model
will be incorporated throughout that help inform and guide treatment decisions.

Conference Coordinators: Bruce Ecker PhD, Gemima St. Louis, PhD,
Robert Kinscherff, PhD, JD, and Margaret Hannah, MEd
This second annual multi-disciplinary conference on youth resilience will be held in celebration of National Children’s Mental Health Awareness Day. The conference will provide a
unique forum for considering what has been learned about youth resilience from around the
globe and then applying that knowledge to local needs and programs. Looking broadly at
children and adolescents as well as their families, schools and communities, the focus will be
on identifying powerful strengths that counteract the adversities faced by far too many. Nine
resilience factors identified in global studies will be presented as they serve to offset youth psychiatric disorders as well as the effects of family violence, natural disasters, forced migration,
poverty, racism and other types of social marginalization. The connections between research
and practice will be stressed throughout. The plenary speaker, Michael Ungar, Ph.D., cofounder of the Resilience Research Centre, is both a clinician and a world leader in resilience
studies, as he coordinates funded research in over a dozen countries. His work will be complemented by that of local leaders who will describe how strength-based programs are making
important contributions to youth and family adjustment. Such programs are relevant across a
broad developmental range, from early childhood to youth transitioning to adulthood.
Concrete examples of successful practices and programs will be presented. Representatives
from schools and Commonwealth agencies will be present to foster collaboration in meeting
the growing mental health needs of children and their families. The day will be divided
between plenary sessions, panel presentations, and concurrent sessions, all in an attempt to
foster engagement and sharing. The conference will be relevant for clinicians, educators,
policy makers, consumers, and community support personnel.
Plenary Speaker: Michael Ungar, PhD, family therapist and a
Killam Professor of Social Work at Dalhousie University where
he founded and co-directs the Resilience Research Centre
Specific learning objectives:
• Describe the impact of selected adverse childhood experiences such as family violence,
poverty, forced immigration, and racism
• Describe nine resilience factors found in global studies that offset the impact of youth,
family, and community adversities
• Describe the social-ecological model of adversity and resilience
• Provide examples of strength-based local programs that use resilience factors as powerful
tools to offset youth adversities

The Center for Psychoanalytic Studies @ MSPP
Program Co-Directors: Martha Stark, MD, and Andrea Celenza, PhD
These exciting new programs will enable licensed mental health professionals and other
qualified students to pursue an innovative and rigorous course of study with a distinguished
national and international faculty. The focus will be on interweaving the most current
theoretical advances in psychoanalytic thought with best practices in the clinical domain.
Beginning in February 2015, two courses—using the latest models of pedagogy—will be
featured every spring and every fall. Each course will be offered as a month-long online series
of four one-hour video recorded lectures and corresponding readings available to the student
24/7. In additions, each core course includes faculty facilitated email threaded discussions
and a final one-hour webinar. This training model will allow students to participate from
any location for enriching and stimulating study with senior faculty. In addition, interspersed
around the core course options will be a series of online presentations by distinguished
luminaries.
Please visit www.mspp.edu/ppp to learn more details about these unique opportunities.
What, Where Is Psychoanalysis:
Classic Concepts, New Meanings
Online: February 2 – 27, 2015
Andrea Celenza, PhD, instructor
This course traces the history of psychoanalytic theorizing and
technique from classical positivist, one-person conceptualizations to a relational, twoperson, intersubjective engagement. This trajectory is designed to highlight selected basic
concepts from both classical and contemporary perspectives, examining the epistemological
underpinnings of each as psychoanalytic theorizing is transformed throughout its history.
Each topic is covered from an historical vantage point to establish a foundation of the concept
as it was originally conceived. Then these concepts are reformulated through a postmodern
lens with a resultant discussion of the changes that ensued due to the transformations of
theory and technique. Readings have been selected that represent seminal moments in the
history of psychoanalytic thinking, marking a turning point, an elaboration of the concept, or
an alternative view in order to expand your knowledge of the issues and debates in the history
of the concept. In many cases, the papers we will discuss are those currently being debated in
the ongoing evolution of psychoanalytic theory and technique.

This course will be delivered over four 1-hour long sessions. The first session will focus on
courage, the second on generosity, the third on gratitude, and the fourth on forgiveness.
In each of these sessions, developmental origins of the respective capacities as well as their
psychopathologic variants will be discussed. Illustrative vignettes from daily life, culture
at large and clinical work will be presented in all four sessions. While developmental and
psychopathological concerns will be raised, the emphasis will remain upon the application of
these insights to conducting psychotherapy and psychoanalysis.

MSPP’s Next Health Coaching Cohort Will Begin in September 2015
Health Coaching is a recently developed model in the coaching profession. Health coaches work
with individuals to help them define and reach healthy lifestyles. Individual presentations span
across a continuum from a person desiring to move from a sedentary and unhealthy life style to
an improved set of health behaviors to a person living with a chronic illness who wants to make
the most positive adaptation to the challenges of their illness. Health Coaches are employed in
a variety of settings including health insurance companies, health maintenance organizations,
primary care facilities, hospitals and behavioral health units. The MSPP program trains licensed
healthcare professionals to be ready to make a career change or to enhance and expand their current practice.
Program Overview
This rigorous academic program uses a collaborative cohort-training model along with
an emphasis on experiential education and
focuses on the development of International
Coach Federation competencies. The MSPP
Health Coaching Certificate is offered in a
Blended Learning Model that will include
weekly online course work consisting of a
weekly on-line lecture, assigned readings, and
a forum of threaded conversations related to
the readings. Each of the five course modules
has a required Weekend-in-Residence on the
MSPP Newton, MA campus.
Curriculum
The MSPP Certificate in Health Coaching
has a required sequence of 5 courses. Students who successfully complete them will be
awarded a Certificate in Health Coaching.

The Jewish Cardinal—The Jewish Cardinal tells the amazing true
story of Jean-Marie Lustiger, the son of Polish-Jewish immigrants,
who maintained his cultural identity as a Jew even after converting
to Catholicism at a young age, and later joining the priesthood.
Quickly rising within the ranks of the Church, Lustiger was appointed
Archbishop of Paris by Pope Jean Paul II - and found a new platform to
celebrate his dual identity as a Catholic Jew, earning him both friends
and enemies from either group. When Carmelite nuns settle down to
build a convent within the cursed walls of Auschwitz, Lustiger finds
himself a mediator between the two communities - and may be forced at
last to choose his side. Director, Ilan Duran Cohen.

lesbians celebrating a step in coming out. The documentary takes
viewers behind the scenes, showing how the work of drag requires a deep
understanding of human psychology. Director, Jan Haaken.

American Denial—American Denial uses the story of Swedish

we behave regarding matters of race, and what we say we stand for as American citizens.

Early Identification and Treatment of Anxiety and Mood
Disorders in Early Adolescents
Nadja N. Reilly, PhD, instructor
This program focuses on three major components of understanding and treating these disorders. First, a thorough presentation of early symptomatology will be presented, from a developmental and contextual perspective. Suggestions will be offered for screening. The associations
between anxiety and depression and behavioral and functional sequelae will be discussed,
again within the multiple contexts of family and school. Second, specific treatment techniques
will be discussed and highlighted via case studies. The third component focuses on prevention
information, especially within the school context.
AMD14-3 | 1 CE Credit* | $15
Managing Parenting Through Divorce
Robin Deutsch, PhD, instructor
When parents separate or divorce, mental health professionals are often asked to become
involved to treat the child, treat the parent or work with either or both parents on parenting
through and after divorce. There are specific foci of intervention when working with parents
and children during the process of and post-divorce. Mental health professionals need to be
aware of the special competencies required to work with clients during this process and of the
ethical and legal issues that may arise. Participants will learn about the roles of a mental health
professional with clients experiencing divorce, effective parenting factors during and after
divorce, ways in which legal processes may affect clients and risk management strategies.
MPD14-4 | 1 CE Credit* | $15

Jaine Darwin, PsyD, instructor
This program provides an overview of how to work with family members of military and veterans who have served in a combat zone. Information is provided regarding the demographics
of the population and kinds of problems seen in both family members and veterans. It discusses interventions intended to prevent the development of mental health problems and how to
identify problems when they occur. The program also addresses the stigmas of seeking mental
health services and offers recommendations for treatment.
