We already know that grief is a complicated, multi-faceted process that affects all of us. Certain types of grief and loss can exacerbate these challenges. This class will help you explore disenfranchised grief, ambiguous loss, complicated grief and anticipatory grief, and effective strategies to manage them. Additionally, you’ll identity aspects of post-traumatic growth and ways to incorporate it into your life and work. At the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:• Identify components of disenfranchised grief.• Differentiate between types of ambiguous loss.• Discover strategies for working with disenfranchised
grief, ambiguous loss, complicated grief, and anticipatory grief.
• Analyze the impacts of anticipatory grief on grief pre- and post-death.
• Apply techniques for coping with grief.• Identify aspects of post-traumatic growth.• Compare personal responses to loss.

NEW: Untangling Grief
Personality Disorders: Comprehensive Review of Assessment and ManagementWhen: Mon-Tue, Mar 16-17, 9am-4pm each day (on-site registration 8:30am on Mar 16) Where: Pyle Center, 702 Langdon St., Madison, WIFee: $325Instructor: David Mays, MD, PhDContinuing education (CE) hours: 12 Level: Intermediate to advanced
Some behavior patterns consistently confound and provoke. Clinicians often feel helpless and frustrated as they try to help clients and families who are locked in endless interpersonal conflict. Studies consistently show that medications and psychotherapy will not change people who blame their difficulties on everyone but themselves. High drama, hostile dependence, and intimidation all increase the risk for boundary violations and poor outcomes—so it is critical to discover how to work more effectively with these clients.We begin with the assumption that you can’t manage what you can’t understand. Learn a simple approach for distinguishing the 10 personality disorders: the notion that each disorder has a unique interpersonal agenda that is repeated over and over again. This knowledge can help you—the clinician—recognize what is happening in the client’s world. It may then be possible to break the impasse that is impeding therapeutic progress. You also learn about attachment and attachment patterns, which are the agendas of the personality disorders; transference, boundary, and safety issues; and treatment, management, medication, and modest goals.At the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:• Describe basic theories of personality and how
personality develops.• List the 10 personality disorders.• Recognize essential characteristics of each personality
disorder.• Discuss the efficacy of various treatment.• Describe how transference and countertransference
affect therapy.
Instructor: David Mays (MD, PhD, Indiana University School of Medicine) is the past forensic clinical director at the Mendota Mental Health Institute in Madison. He also serves on the clinical faculty at UW–Madison and the Medical College of Wisconsin.
