Narcissism has been a topic of interest for a long time and most studies suggest that narcissistic behaviors are on the rise. What makes someone a narcissist? How do you recognize narcissistic traits in others and yourself? How do you have healthy relationships with narcissistic people in your life? Our 4 -day free summit will offer a unique depth psychological perspective on Narcissism. Seen from this perspective, at the core of narcissism is a problem of identity and lack of self-esteem. The relationship to the Self is distorted, and this can lead to toxic and damaging behavior. On the other hand, this perspective also recognizes that we all need a certain degree of healthy narcissism. It supports us in the discovery of our individual identities. This summit is a unique opportunity for us to deepen our awareness of narcissism and gain tools to address it in our lives. Our 11 world-renowned speakers will cover a wide range of topics including narcissism in romantic relations, parental relationships, mythology, and the workplace. Hear from Michael Meade, Thomas Moore, Monika Wikman, Larry Ward & others!

Today’s stressors are objectively significant. Who among us is genuinely immune to the compounding influences of COVID-19, social media, populist politics, the housing crisis, global competition, artificial intelligence, etc.? Another stressor is of course climate change, which has given rise to the new disorder of “eco-anxiety”. According to a recent Yale University study, 69% of us are at least “somewhat worried” (and 29% “very worried”) about climate change.

Physicians trained in CBT derive significant professional satisfaction from treating panic disorder and the phobias. Most patients respond relatively quickly, and relapse rates are reassuringly low.

Major topics include "ten-minute couples counseling"; helping patients (and others) overcome social anxiety; the fascinating issue of adult sibling relations. Special topics include the scientific determinants of friendship; the trap of co-rumination; research on "emotional contagion"; "friendshifts"; the complex (and embarrassing) emotion of hurt; the portfolio analysis tool; relations with individuals with antisocial personality disorder (AsPD); the horror of ostracism; and the compelling research on the timing of residential moves on children. As the Roman philosopher Cicero (106BC–43BC) wrote in his classic treatise Laelius de Amicitia (On Friendship): "Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief."

PTSD has a lifetime prevalence rate of nearly 10% in women (5% in men), which rivals that of depression. Fortunately, the DSM-5 "holy book" made it easier to diagnose PTSD, and recent research has provided us with much more effective treatments.

This popular workshop begins with a review of debriefing (i.e., interventions designed to prevent PTSD after a trauma), including insights from the lead presenter’s work with the Canadian government's National Roundtable in Ottawa. We then review a shortcut to the diagnosis of PTSD, proceeding from there to the details of (and controversies pertaining to) the fuller diagnostic criteria. The core of the workshop—training in treatment—emphasizes those tools realistic for use in primary care. As always, the assumption is a ten-minute appointment (with three patients in the waiting room). Special topics include the curious case of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), “emotional baggage” (i.e., old traumata), the eye-opening forgiveness research, so-called "hindsight bias", the Oprah-esque "imaginal rescripting", intergenerational trauma, the Faustian bargain of children who survived ACEs (adverse childhood experiences), complex PTSD (C-PTSD), trauma-informed care, and what data we have on medical marijuana. The workshop ends with a very uplifting topic: the emerging and exceedingly hopeful literature on post-traumatic growth.

The meeting will be held over three days between 16-18 June 2023 and is open to all with relevance to and interest in Brain, Movement, and Cognition. While it is not obligatory, those who desire to present their work or research are invited to submit abstracts of the intended presentation of lectures, workshops, or symposia. The encounter in London will focus, among other things, on the relations between movement and the brain’s neuroplasticity, especially in all that is related to the brain’s ability to learn.

Medical CBT is specifically designed for the ultra-brief appointments typical of primary care. In this workshop you'll learn the essentials of a skill that may fundamentally change how you cope with the all-important psychological side of medical practice. You'll learn flexible tools to integrate with your existing approaches to major depression, persistent depression (“dysthymia” until DSM-5), chronic worry, chronic pain, panic disorder, non-compliance, substance abuse, illness anxiety, borderline personality disorder, suicidality, and more. Is this workshop right for you? Ten-Minute CBT is an introductory workshop that reviews ten of the 52 tools covered in the original CBT Tools module, along with some highly-practical tips harvested from other three-hour modules. If you'd like a high-impact introduction, or if you'd like a refresher of the material you took before, Ten-Minute CBT is an excellent choice.

There are many tools (besides exhausting empathy injections) you can use to keep the doctor-patient relationship far from the Zone of Peril. In the 3.0 hour, 9.0 Mainpro+ credit Bedside Manners 2.0, we review twenty-six (26) such tools. Topics covered include the art, science and legalities of apologies; collaboration signifiers; emotional investment expressions; existential connectors (e.g., meaning, isolation, death); expectation management; the universal need for "fairness"; fiduciary role reminders; goal (re)negotiations; humour (honk, honk); jolting studies on physician punctuality; Gable's "response style" matrix; "transference 2.0"; validation (as in borderline personality disorder) ... and sixteen additional rapport-building tools. Doctors who keep their "alliance-o-meter" readings high—without reflexly resorting to draining empathy dosing—enjoy better clinical outcomes—and fewer fears of complaints—and better personal (and familial) well-being.

As Aristotle wrote, "Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence." Although the pursuit of happiness has long been considered an art, today it is also guided by a substantial science. In this three-hour workshop, we'll review the most significant findings from the field of positive psychology.

Personality Disorders: Manage Them Before They Manage You begins with a review of the science of personality assessment. We examine the most popular inventories, doing a fair bit of debunking along the way. The core of the workshop is the systematic review of DSM-5’s ten personality disorders: the insensitively-named "MAD" (paranoid, schizoid, schizotypal), "BAD" (antisocial, borderline, histrionic, narcissistic), and "SAD" (avoidant, dependent, and obsessive-compulsive) "clusters". As we review each of the ten personality disorders, our emphases are on 1) rapid diagnosis (when possible); 2) modular treatments (when desired), and 3) clinician coping (always).

Today’s cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) is a treasure-trove of scientifically‐tested tools to help physicians increase their resiliency and reduce their risk of burnout. Physician wellness is important for countless reasons, including that it significantly determines the quality of care delivered (CMPA, 2018). Simply put, the burned-out doctor is probably a crappy doctor. Sadly, the burned-out are also at risk for Premature Clinician Aging Disorder (PCAD). PCAD isn't just the result of a heavy caseload and long hours. PCAD is also predicted by one's psychology. In this three-hour workshop, we'll review techniques for silencing self-criticism, decreasing rumination, letting go of the past, increasing self-compassion, improving decision-making, optimizing time management, boosting mindfulness, and making a marriage spark joy. PCAD is not inevitable: you don’t need to age faster than the required rate (unless you want to). Please join CBT Canada faculty for the fast-paced & practical SuperDoc workshop. You’ll emerge equipped with versatile CBT tools to boost the functioning and improve the mental health of your patients, your family, your friends—and the ongoing project called “you”.

The conference 19th Days of Applied Psychology will take place on September 29th and 30th, 2023, and it is organized by Faculty of Philosophy of the University of Niš (Ćirila i Metodija 2, Niš, Serbia). The official topic of the Conference this year is Transformative processes in society, environment, organization, and mental health practice. We accept submissions on any topic in psychological research. We have decided that the 19th annual international scientific conference Days of Applied Psychology will be held in a hybrid format. Participants will be able to attend lectures and sessions online, via video conferencing software, as well as in person, in the premises of the Faculty of Philosophy.

Last-year conference gathered participants from 30 different countries. We want this conference to be a place where researchers from different parts of the world will connect, through the presentation of their research and discussion of current topics in the field of their interests. With this goal in mind, a unique Collaboration Hub session will be organized, where researchers will have the opportunity to present their projects, whose achievement requires expanding the network of collaborators beyond the borders of their country. For more information visit our website. Looking forwards to seeing you at our conference!

This workshop is focused on CBT for major depressive disorder. We'll review reasons for optimism; empathy addiction; goalification, scaling, and I/O charts for MDD; behavioral antidepressants; depressogenic belief identification; cognitive illusions; the physics of CBT; therapeutic persuasion; MDD thought records; the CUE question (to harness emotional intelligence); learned helplessness (and its opposite, learned hopefulness); reductionistic stagnation; future-focusing (intertemporal self-state negotiations); and the lay construct of willpower. The Depression module provides physicians with a comprehensive kit for more effectively managing one of the most common human afflictions. Persistent depressive disorder (dysthymia) and suicidality are covered in the Dysthymia workshop.

This three-credits-per-hour workshop is for clinicians wishing to integrate more of CBT's tested tools into their daily work with general medical patients. Veteran presenter Dr. Greg Dubord and CBT Canada faculty explain the key features of over 26 tools used to change patients' maladaptive beliefs and behaviors. You'll then see step-by-step demonstrations of how to best integrate each tool into ten-minute medical appointments. Participants gain familiarity and comfort with the tools through the coaching received while practicing in dyads. This sleeves-up workshop emphasizes practical assessment tools, homework compliance enhancers, and change-oriented charting. The focus is on the most strategic interventions that can be integrated into routine (e.g., 10 minute) clinical appointments.

The Dysthymia module covers three related topics: brief CBT for dysthymia (assumes ten-minute appointments), victimhood culture (an exacerbant on the rise), and brief CBT for suicidality (focusing on what to say in the moment). Please do join us! After completing the Dysthymia module, many physicians report they wish they’d taken it at the start of their careers, asserting that they could have spared themselves a significant amount of stress & heartache. See also Depression: CBT's Pathway Out.

***NOTE: The new DSM-5-TR (released on March 18) refers to dysthymia as persistent depressive disorder.

Losses happen. That's always been true, but it's more salient in these dreadful Days of COVID. Historically, it was the wisdom traditions—religion and philosophy—that provided us with comfort. Today psychology helps too: the utterly universal experience of loss has spawned much excellent scientific research. Topics include differentiating between MDD and grief, the CBT model (and techniques), the sunk-cost effect, forgiveness, DSM-5-TR's new Prolonged Grief Disorder, and thanatophobia. The workshop assumes your appointments are brief, averaging only 5–7 minutes. With that in mind, we teach the CBT tools that are highest in impact and practicality. The goal is to efficiently help patients cope—at least a little better—with the pain of some of life’s inevitable losses.
