By Rich Simon As therapists, many of us practice in two different worlds. In the first, we see polite, well-behaved, articulate clients with solid values. They engage fully in therapy, talk cogently about their problems, listen attentively to our responses, make reasonably good-faith efforts to follow our suggestions, and sooner or later get better. No wonder we genuinely like these people! Does This Kid Need Medication? with Ron Taffel
Meds: Myths and Realities: NP0035 – Session 3
Do you feel like you could be a more effective therapist with your younger clients? Do you find it hard to determine when interventions--psychological and pharmacological--might be needed?

After the session, please let us know what you think. If you ever have any technical questions or issues, please feel free to email support@psychotherapynetworker.org.
Sunday Workshops
607 Mindfulness for Pain Control
Ronald Siegel
Sunday All-Day
According to new scientific evidence, the true cause of most chronic back, neck, and sciatic pain isn't damaged spinal discs or other structural problems. . .
According to new scientific evidence, the true cause of most chronic back, neck, and sciatic pain, isn’t damaged spinal discs or other structural problems, but a cycle of psychological stress, muscle tension, and avoidance of activity for fear of further “injury.” Mindfulness--awareness and acceptance of present experience--is a powerful tool for interrupting the cycles maintaining these conditions. This workshop will introduce the Back Sense program, a step-by-step, mind-body approach that integrates advances in rehabilitation medicine with psychodynamic, behavioral, and mindfulness-based techniques. You’ll learn how to use research evidence to help clients see that their pain isn’t due to structural damage or abnormalities and how to interrupt the cognitive, affective, and behavioral components of chronic pain cycles and free them from what might otherwise be continual, lifelong suffering. You’ll also learn ways to apply these techniques in the treatment of other common stress-related conditions.
Ronald Siegel, Psy.D., an assistant clinical professor of psychology at Harvard Medical School, is the author of The Mindfulness Solution: Everyday Practices for Everyday Problems and the coeditor of Mindfulness and Psychotherapy.
