Applying Psychology and a Global Perspective to Terrorism and Violence

Anthony Lemieux, PhD, Keynote SpeakerAs psychologists, we need to work collaboratively across boundaries and communicate effectively

about our work to multiple audiences and stake-holders. Psychologists possess key skills needed in

interpreting and interacting with complex problems.

In particular, Dr. Lemieux focuses on psychological, communicative, and behavioral aspects of factors that influence people to mobilize toward violent

action. He will highlight research that is both interdisciplinary and collaborative, and draws on advances that have potential to make our science and our work that much more impactful. The kinds of large-scale, interdisciplinary challenges that we face – in terms of topic, methods, and necessary areas of expertise – require that psychologists

cut across disciplinary silos so that we can tackle problems from multiple perspectives.

10:00 am - 1:00 pm : CE WORKSHOPS

The Neuropsychology of RacismCeleste A Campbell, PsyD

(3 hrs. CE) This presentation looks at the neurocognitive processes that feed racism on an individual level, resulting in the emotional

and behavioral reactions that allow for the defense and promotion of institutional and sociocultural inequality. It will integrate research into the neuro-science of developing beliefs, attitudes, racial bias, and prejudiced reactions, with psychosocial theories of racism and postulate theories on implications for change at an individual, social and systemic level. (Intermediate)

An Evidence-based Approach to Assess, Diagnose and Treat OCD

with the Gold Standard: Expo-sure and Response PreventionJosh Spitalnick, PhD, ABPP and Jordan Cattie, PhD

(3 hrs. CE) OCD affects 2 to 3 million adults and at least 1 in 200 children and adolescents. Around 60-80% of OCD symptoms remit with CBT treatment, with ERP recognized as the most effective interven-tion. Research studies, role plays, and presentation of case studies will be used to discuss assessment, treatment planning, and demonstration of ERP. Contextual factors related to age/development, the role of family in symptoms and treatment, and access to care will be addressed. (Intermediate)

Ethical and Cultural Considera-tions in Psychological Testing

as Part of Clinical and Forensic EvaluationsAdriana L. Flores, PhD,

Sanjay Shah, JD, PhD and Glenn Egan, PhD

(3 hrs. Ethics CE) This workshop will inform attendees of ethical and cultural issues that should be considered in psychological testing, whether in clinical practice, or as part of an evaluation for the courts. We will explore ethical and cultural challenges in psychological testing and then discuss how to navigate these challenges while addressing the issue of referral. (Intermediate)

Creating Transgender-Inclusive Spaces within Your Work:

Theory, Assessment, and Practical ImplicationsDeauna V. Webb, PsyD

(3 hrs. CE) The national conversation on transgender individuals is changing. Many providers may lack the specific competency to work with transgender clients, which poses a barrier for trans-identifying people who are seeking effective mental health care. Participants will gain an understanding of terminology, and issues affecting the transgender community, and will be presented with a conceptual model to apply. Assessment criteria for cross-sex hormone therapy evaluations and ways to make your practice transgender affirming will be discussed. (Intermediate)

Behavioral Treatment for InsomniaAnne D. Bartolucci, PhD, CBSM

(3 hrs. CE) Chronic insomnia is a common dis-order that will strike up to 30% of the population and does not discriminate by gender, race, or socioeconomic status. Although cognitive-behavioral treatment for insomnia (CBT-I) is a first-line treatment recommendation, certified practitioners

can be difficult to find, as are training opportunities. Come learn the basics of CBT-I from one of Georgia’s only certified behavioral sleep medicine specialists. (Intermediate)

Forensic/Divorce Evaluations involving Sexual, Gender &

Relational DiversityRachel Anne Kieran, PsyD and Nancy McGarrah, PhD

(3 hrs. Ethics CE) For clients whose sexual, gender,or relational identities are outside the cultural majority, finding a clinician in a forensic setting can be difficult. We will discuss polyamory and non-monogamy, and how these relationship types are often understood by their participants. We will introduce consensual power exchange and assessing the distinction between this and IPV in clinical settings. Forensic roles a clinician may have will be discussed and how sexual, gender, and relational diversity is necessary while performing these roles. (Introductory)

Advocacy – Why does it matter?Doug Walter, JD and Jennifer Kelly, PhD

(3 hrs. CE) More than ever, psycholo-gists need to advocate for their patients, society, and themselves.

This session offers an in-depth look atwhat advocacy is and why it matters at the state and national levels as well as the roles and responsibilities for the psychologist as advocate.

A New Psychotherapy for Each Patient: Evidence-Based

Methods to Personalize Treatment to the IndividualJohn C. Norcross, PhD, ABPP

(3 hrs. CE) Psychotherapy will maximize itseffectiveness by targeting the most powerful sources of change: the therapeutic relationship and the patient him/herself. This workshop will provide integrative methods for adapting treatment to the individual client. Learn how to reliably assess and rapidly apply 4+ evidence-based methods (patient preferences, stage of change, reactance level, cultural identities, and coping style) for improving treatment success. Discover how practice and research converge in responsiveness that improves the relational fit for clients and clinicians. (Intermediate)

Psychiatric Pharmacobotany: Exploring the Origins of

Pharmaceuticals from their Roots in the Botanical WorldDavid Hankin, PharmD

(3 hrs. CE) Many pharmaceuticals, including psychotropics, have their origin in the botanical world. We will explore how plants around the world were used throughout history and adapted to become modern drugs. The culture of drug use has an anthropological component reflecting the diversity of how humans have practiced medicine. Special attention will be given to recent research with MDMA and psilocin as potential new pharmacotherapies for PTSD and end of life depression, respectively. (Intermediate)

Understanding Basic Research on Couple Relationships for

Couple PsychotherapistsJustin Lavner, PhD, W. Tracy Talmadge, PhD, and William C. Talmadge, PhD

(3 hrs. CE) Over the last several decades, a vast body of research has examined how couples develop and change. Unfortunately, few therapists are aware of this research and researchers seldom offer any practical clinical implications. Our goal is to bridge that gap by summarizing this research and demonstrating how therapists can effectively use this information in working with the many different types of couples in committed intimate relationships.

Helping Couples Connect From the Very First Session

Louis W. McLeod, PhD and Linda McNeely McLeod, MEd(3 hrs. CE) Many couples, regardless of sexual/affectional orientation,

come to therapy fearful that they will be blamed and attacked by their partner. What helps these couples experience encouragement in couple therapy from the first session is for them to have an emotional experience of safety and connection with each other. This workshop focuses on how therapists can help couples create ownership, compassion, and validation of the partner’s experience in their first therapy session. (Intermediate)

When Pain is More than Emotional: What All Psycholo-

gists Need to Know About Dealing with Chronic PainJennifer L. Steiner, PhD and Jennifer L. DelVentura, PhD

(3 hrs. CE) Over 32 million people in the US suffer from chronic pain, and over half experience co-morbid depression and anxiety. Increasing numbers of these individuals are seeking mental health treatment. This workshop will explain the relationship between physical pain and psychological

contributors, how to work with chronic pain patients, when to refer to a specialist, and the unique challenges faced by patients based on race, gender, age, and SES. (Intermediate)

Conducting Individual Psychotherapy from a Systems

Perspective: How to be On Your Client’s Side Without Taking a SideLinda Buchanan, PhD

(3 hrs. CE) Therapists are trained to listen, and we naturally tend to believe what we are told. Consequently, we may side with our client against other elements in their system even when the client’s perspective is a projection of their false narratives containing distortion. Informed by tenets of family systems, this workshop will focus on very specific strategies and skills which enable the therapist to develop the art of being on our client’s side without taking a side. (Intermediate)

Might We ALL Have PTSD?: The Collective Trauma of Viral

Videos of Police ShootingsKanika Bell, PhD

(3 hrs. CE) This workshop will address the psychological impact

of repeated viewing of police shootings of African American citizens on both civilian and law enforcement populations. Specifically, PTSD symptoms as well as behaviors that may escalate these types of interactions will be discussed as possibilities for African American and Caucasian police officer and civilian populations. The psychological and behavioral expression of the impact of filmed police shootings differs and should be addressed authentically in therapeutic interventions. (Intermediate)

2018 ANNUAL MEETING The Georgia Psychological Association is excited to host you in the beautiful city of Athens, Georgia for the 2018 Annual Meeting on April 13-April 15, 2018. Discover the Classic Center, which is northeast Georgia’s premier conference, convention and performing arts center. It is located in walkable, downtown Athens, conveniently located near 150 unique dining, shopping and entertainment options. Enjoy stylish accommodations at the brand new Hyatt Place, directly connected to the Classic Center. Or, you may prefer the intimacy of a boutique hotel, The Graduate, which has free shuttle service to The Classic Center.

The GPA Annual Meeting will give psychologists the opportunity to earn up to 24 continuing education hours, including a pre-conference risk management ethics workshop and three conference credits through social activities. This year’s theme, “Critical Conversations: Across the Table and Across Communities,” focuses on some of the difficult but critical issues we as psychologists are uniquely suited to speak to. We are often called to collaborate and problem solve with our families, clients, professionals from other disciplines, the general public, and policy makers. The combination of our knowledge of science and clinical skill is needed as we navigate divisive topics with high stakes. Join us as we gather together to deepen our knowledge and extend our reach.

This year’s keynote speaker, Dr. Anthony Lemieux, is from the Atlanta area. The big question that his research seeks to answer is what factors influence people to mobilize toward violent action. Primarily, he looks at this question by focusing on terrorism – as it represents a particularly challenging area, with tremendous importance and impact. In his keynote presentation, Dr. Lemieux will highlight two programs of research that are both interdisciplinary and collaborative, and draw on advances that have potential to make our science and our work that much more impactful. Dr. Lemieux will launch the Annual Meeting with a presentation titled “Bringing Psychology and a Global Perspective to Bear on Terrorism and Violence,” which will discuss the psychologist’s role in addressing terrorism and violence. He will also participate in a three-hour workshop panel titled “Your Voice as a Psychologist: Engaging with Media to give Psychology Away” on Friday afternoon.

Featured Presenter Arthur C. Evans, Jr., PhD, the new CEO of the American Psychological Association (APA) will be giving a presentation on “The Future of APA and the Field of Psychology” on Saturday morning.

In addition to earning continuing education, conference attendees can engage in many social opportunities throughout the weekend. On Friday evening, everyone is encouraged to come to the New Member Welcome Reception along with the GPA Student Poster Session. Participants are invited to enjoy hors d’oeuvres, meet new and old colleagues, and visit with various students while viewing their poster submissions. Start your Saturday morning with GPA’s Annual Meeting Fun Run/Walk on UGA’s campus. During Saturday’s lunch break, psychologists and students can casually mingle with colleagues during the GPA Networking Lunch. Wrap up Saturday by attending a Fundraising event to benefit Georgia Psychological Foundation. Sunday morning starts with the GPA Business Meeting Breakfast, where attendees will receive updates on the association including latest developments, membership information, financial updates, and plans for the future.

Reserve your spot early by registering today for GPA’s 2018 Annual Meeting! Our meeting is highly attended by over 350 psychologists each year. Don’t miss the chance to attend quality CE workshops, socialize with colleagues, recognize students and volunteer leaders, and network with exhibitors and sponsors at The Classic Center in Athens, GA.

Thank you to the Annual Meeting Program Committee Chair (Dr. Laura Dilly), the Annual Meeting Program Committee, and the Continuing Education Committee for their time and commitment to provide a high quality and exciting program for GPA members and local psychologists.
