TICKETED SESSIONS
Clinical Intervention Training
Applying Exposure Principles to the Treatment of Depression: Exposure-Based Cognitive Therapy Adele M. Hayes, Ph.D., University of Delaware Charlotte Yasinski, Ph.D., Emory University School of Medicine Adele Hayes developed Exposure-Based Cognitive Therapy (EBCT) and is the Director of the Depression and Wellness Program at the University of Delaware. Her research focuses on identifying common processes that inhibit and facilitate therapeutic change in treatments for depression and PTSD. Dr. Hayes has received national and international funding to conduct the foundational studies of EBCT, which has now been evaluated in two small clinical trials and a recent randomized controlled trial conducted in Switzerland. She is continuing her research on mechanisms of therapeutic change in the context of several clinical trials in the United States and England. She is a former Associate Editor of Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology and Cognitive Therapy and Research for her expertise in psychotherapy research and development. Dr. Carly Yasinski is a licensed clinical psychologist and assistant professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Emory University School of Medicine. She specializes in the treatment of depression and PTSD using exposure-based approaches and was instrumental in helping to refine the exposure-based components of EBCT. Her research interests focus on better understanding the process of change during psychotherapy for these disorders and improving clinical outcomes. Participants earn 7 continuing education credits.

Antidepressants and psychotherapy are only about 50% effective, and recurrence rates are as high as 90% by the third episode. Holtzheimer and Mayberg (2011) urge a rethinking of depression as a persistent tendency to become "stuck in a rut" when negative mood states are activated. Treatment must therefore disrupt the processes associated with entering and staying in that rut. Exposure-based cognitive therapy (EBCT) integrates cognitive behavioral therapies for depression with principles of exposure, emotional processing, and inhibitory learning from the treatment of anxiety disorders. EBCT targets key factors that maintain depression (unproductive processing, avoidance, and impaired reward sensitivity and processing). It also facilitates their more adaptive counterparts (constructive emotional processing, distress tolerance, and the ability to sustain and process positive emotions), which together can serve inhibitory functions to prevent relapse. Exposure principles are applied in: (a) weekly narratives to facilitate processing of depressive material, (b) mindfulness exercises to promote distress tolerance, (c) imaginal exposure exercises to facilitate constructive processing of memories related to defectiveness, worthlessness, and failure, and (d) exposure exercises to activate and process positive emotions and related fear and avoidance. CIT participants will learn techniques to reduce depression-maintaining processes and promote emotional processing and inhibitory learning. At the end of this session, the learner will be able to:

Integrative Behavioral Couple Therapy: Acceptance and Change in Couple Therapy Andrew Christensen, Ph.D., UCLA Brian D. Doss, Ph.D., University of Miami Andrew Christensen is Distinguished Research Professor of Psychology in the Department of Psychology at UCLA. He has spent his career studying couple conflict and couple therapy and has published over 150 professional articles, primarily on these topics. He is co-author of the influential scholarly book Close Relationships (Freeman, 1983, reprinted in 2002). For therapists, he authored Acceptance and Change in Couple Therapy: A Therapist's Guide for Transforming Relationships (1998, Norton) with Neil S. Jacobson. For couples, he authored Reconcilable Differences (2000, 2014, Guilford) with Jacobson and Brian Doss. Both books describe Integrative Behavioral Couple Therapy (IBCT). More recently, he has been involved in the widespread dissemination and testing of IBCT through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and through an online adaptation of IBCT, www.ourrelationship.com. Christensen has done workshops on IBCT in the United States, Canada, Europe (Denmark, France, Germany, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom), Asia (Hong Kong), and South America (Brazil, Colombia, and Peru). Christensen's therapy and research have been cited in the Washington Post, New York Times, Newsweek, Time Magazine, U.S. News and World Report, USA Today, and other magazines and newspapers. Brian Doss is an Associate Professor of Psychology at the University of Miami. He received his Ph.D. from UCLA working under the mentorship of Dr. Christensen, completed his internship at the Medical University of South Carolina and the Ralph H. Johnson Veteran Administration Hospital, and was an Assistant Professor at Texas A&M University for 5 years before moving to Miami in 2009. Dr. Doss has received multiple grants from the National Institutes of Health and the Administration for Children and Families. He teaches undergraduate and graduate classes on couple therapy and romantic relationships. His research is focused on ways to increase the reach of couple interventions, including OurRelationship.com and a self-help book titled Reconcilable Differences. Dr. Doss' research has been cited on The Today Show, CNN, MSNBC, New York Times, Miami Herald, and elsewhere. Participants earn 7 continuing education credits.

Integrative Behavioral Couple Therapy (IBCT) is an evidence-based approach to the treatment of couples developed by Andrew Christensen and the late Neil S. Jacobson. IBCT is integrative in that it brings together the twin goals of emotional acceptance and behavior change. Also, it integrates a variety of treatment strategies under a consistent behavioral theoretical framework. In this training, Christensen will describe the theoretical notions that distinguish IBCT from traditional and cognitive behavioral couple therapies. Then he will describe the four stages of treatment: assessment, feedback, active intervention, and termination. He will illustrate some of the assessment and treatment strategies with videotaped examples of couples in IBCT. He will also briefly describe the empirical support for IBCT. Brian Doss will describe the translation of IBCT into an online version (OurRelationship.com). Doss will describe and illustrate the three main phases of the intervention captured by the acronym OUR: observe, understand, and respond. He will then discuss two nationwide clinical trials that demonstrate the effectiveness of the intervention. He will conclude with discussion of the integration of the online program with in-person therapy. At the end of this session, the learner will be able to:

This CIT will provide an initial description of the theory that guides the intervention and an overview of the nature, symptoms, and experience of anxiety in youth. We will consider when anxiety is developmentally reasonable and when it is disordered. Cognitive, behavioral, family (parenting), and emotional factors will be addressed. The bulk of the CIT will address intervention strategies. Each of the strategies (e.g., coping modeling, changing self-talk, affect education, exposure tasks) will be described in detail and illustrated with case examples and some video illustrations. A flexible implementation of the manual-based approach will be described and encouraged. Sample videos of actual sessions and reenacted sessions will be available to be played and discussed, and small groups of CIT participants will have an opportunity to engage in a role-play activity. Research outcomes that inform decisions regarding the provision of clinical services for anxious youth will be considered and these findings highlight both (a) what we know and (b) what we do not yet know about the treatment of anxiety disorders in youth. At the end of this session, the learner will be able to:
