Donald Meichenbaum, Ph.D. is one of the co-founders of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT). He uses cognitive-behavioral therapy with a constructive-narrative perspective in which he looks at the stories clients tell about themselves and considers ways that the client could develop a different, more positive story. He was named as "one of the 10 most influential psychotherapists of the 20th century" in a survey by the American Psychologist. A distinguished Professor Emeritus of University of Waterloo, he is a founder and presently Research Director of the Melissa Institute for Violence Prevention and Treatment in Miami. He has received many accolades including a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Clinical Division of the American Psychological Association and he was Honorary President of the Canadian Psychological Association. He has presented throughout North America and internationally. He has published extensively including Cognitive-Behavior Modification: An Integrative Approach and his latest book is Roadmap to Resilience. His workshops are noted for combining scholarship, critical-mindedness, practicality and humor. 

OVERVIEW

What makes for effective psychotherapy/counseling? Drawing from his extensive work as a renowned therapist, Dr. Meichenbaum delves into this question and provides a framework that all therapists/counselors can use with youth, adults and families. He will examine the debate between those who advocate for evidence-based manualized treatments versus those who advocate for relationship-focused interventions and propose a third alternative: a model of "expertise" in implementing the Core Tasks of Psychotherapy & Counseling. These core tasks include ways to establish and monitor the quality of the counseling/therapy relationship, conduct psycho-education, nurture hope, teach coping skills employing generalization guidelines, addressing the impact of traumatic victimizing experiences and ways to bolster resilience. He will also provide a detailed, practical discussion of "what works" in counseling/therapy and a demonstration of how therapists/counselors, who obtain the most effective results, conduct integrative treatments with challenging clients who present comorbid disorders. A specific focus will be on ways to treat individuals with multiple psychiatric disorders such as PTSD, substance abuse and depression integratively as opposed to a sequential or parallel fashion. Dr. Meichenbaum will additionally cover: predicting violence towards others and toward oneself; improving cultural competence as a therapist/counselor; integrating spirituality and psychotherapy/counseling; and how to use client feedback to improve treatment effectiveness. A Self-Assessment Psychotherapist's Checklist and a detailed handout will be provided.
