Introducing Empirically Supported Family Interventions: An Integrative Approach of Family Assessment and Interventions in Outpatient Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Settings
WORKSHOPS 17 — 19
Objectives: This workshop will focus on assisting the participant in multiple aspects of starting a private practice. The goals of this workshop are to 1) understand the general principles used to guide the decisions to establish a private practice; 2) discuss important business decisions associated with a private practice, including a business plan and startup costs; and 3) obtain practical suggestions on how to handle such matters as setting office policies, marketing the practice, use of technology, and managed care contracts. Methods: The program is designed to have a maximum amount of participant involvement, including audience discussion. This year the workshop will include an updated PowerPoint presentation and three private practitioners from diverse areas of private practice. It will also include early-career psychiatrists. Results: The workshop has been presented at many AACAP annual meetings and provides participants with practical information regarding private practice psychiatry. Conclusions: The workshop has consistently received good reviews which have recommended that the presentation be repeated.

WORKSHOP 17 BASIC CONCEPTS IN MENTALIZING THERAPY WITH ADOLESCENTS WITH EMERGING PERSONALITY DISORDERS AND SELFHARMING BEHAVIORS Laurel L. Williams, DO, Baylor College of Medicine, laurelw@ bcm.edu; Efrain Bleiberg, MD, Baylor College of Medicine, [email protected]; Liz Cracknell, RMN, Anna Freud Centre, [email protected]; Chris Grimes, LCSW, Baylor College of Medicine, [email protected]; Carlene MacMillan, MD, Brooklyn Minds, [email protected]; Owen S. Muir, MD, New York University, owenmuir@ gmail.com Objectives: Mentalizing-based treatment (MBT) has developed over the last two decades as a coherent conceptual framework and is an increasingly empirically supported approach to borderline personality disorder, family treatment of children and adolescents, eating disorders, and self-harming adolescents. In this workshop, participants will learn about the following: 1) the ways mentalizing capacities develop in the context of attachment relationships; and 2) the impact of neurodevelopmental changes in adolescent’s mentalizing capacities. Methods: The workshop will offer hands-on experience on the MBT approach with adolescents and their families. The first 50 minutes of the workshop will provide a discussion of the mentalizing framework, ways to assess mentalizing strengths and impairments, and the core approaches of MBT. After viewing videotaped clinical material as stimuli, the participants will break into small groups of eight to ten to practice adopting a mentalizing treatment approach using the core-mentalizing stance and techniques. Participants will receive MBT manuals and copies of the presentation. Results: Participants will understand the basic premise of using mentalizing theory and techniques with adolescents and their families. Conclusions: MBT provides a coherent way to formulate the assessment of adolescent’s maladaptive problems, particularly those involving disturbances of self, affect, and impulse regulation. The aim of MBT is to provide clinicians working with adolescents and their families with a conceptually sound and empirically supported approach to address adolescent disturbances of self, affect, and impulse regulation.

WORKSHOP 18 INTRODUCING EMPIRICALLY SUPPORTED FAMILY INTERVENTIONS: AN INTEGRATIVE APPROACH OF FAMILY ASSESSMENT AND INTERVENTIONS IN OUTPATIENT CHILD AND ADOLESCENT PSYCHIATRIC SETTINGS John Sargent, MD, Tufts Medical Center, jsargent@ tuftsmedicalcenter.org; Khalid Imran Afzal, MD, University of Chicago, [email protected]; Karam Radwan, MD, University of Chicago, [email protected]; Paul M. Jones, MD, Georgetown University, [email protected] Objectives: Participants will learn about 1) the principles of family assessment in busy clinical practice; 2) cardinal systemic family interventions based on the classical systemic family therapy schools; and 3) practicing creative family interventions in clinical practice, such as family rituals, prescribing symptoms, circular questioning, etc., in various scenarios. Methods: Four academic psychiatrists will present the novel approach to integrating individual, systemic, and biologic interventions with use of presentations and hands-on practice in small groups. Vignette and video-based cases from various development and clinical scenarios will be used. Results: By the end of this session, participants will 1) be more knowledgeable and confident in the rationale for various family interventions; 2) identify the target behavior for family interventions along with medication management; and 3) develop a holistic approach to providing well-balanced individual, systemic, and biological care to patients. Conclusions: Both early career and seasoned clinicians will learn practical aspects of quick family assessment and increase familiarity with practical family interventions.

WORKSHOP 19 THE ART OF CHANGE: A BRIEF PRIMER IN MOTIVATIONAL INTERVIEWING AND HEALTH BEHAVIOR CHANGE COUNSELING Nasuh Malas, MD, MPH, University of Michigan, nmalas@ med.umich.edu; Nasuh Malas, MD, MPH, University of Michigan, [email protected]; Justin Schreiber, DO, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, schreiberj@ upmc.edu Objectives: Motivational interviewing (MI) is a collaborative, evidence-based, person-centered counseling style for addressing ambivalence about change by paying attention to the language of change. It is designed to strengthen an individual’s motivation for and movement toward a specific goal by eliciting and exploring the person’s own reasons for change within an atmosphere of acceptance and compassion. MI has proven efficacious in several behavioral health fields, including interventions with adolescents, and can be well integrated with other treatment modalities. The purpose of MI is not to just simply give advice to a patient, dictate behavioral change, or provide skills to a passive participant. MI enhances patients’ intrinsic motivations to change by exploring their perspective and ambivalence about the decision to make a change. This workshop aims to introduce participants to the philosophy and practice of MI. Methods: Participants will participate in a workshop that will include three formats. Brief didactics will cover the foundational spirit, processes, and techniques involved in MI. Experienced clinicians who have been trained through the Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers (MINT) (Dr. Malas) and those with other training experiences in MI (Dr. Schreiber) will provide dyadic demonstrations and video vignettes of key aspects of the MI process,
