3 A Few of Our Sponsors: Alberta Medical Association s Section of Generalists in Mental Health CBT Interest Group The Centre for Sleep and Human Performance Department of Psychiatry, University of Calgary Department of Psychology, University of Calgary Psychologists Association of Alberta Speakers & Meeting Overview Dr. Colleen E. Carney is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at Ryerson University, where she is Director of the Sleep and Depression Laboratory. Dr. Carney s research is funded by the National Institutes of Health, National Sleep Foundation and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, and her most recent clinical trial was featured in the New York Times. Dr. Carney has over 20 years of clinical and teaching experience and is an expert in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) for Insomnia. She is best known for training professionals in CBT for insomnia in the context of complex co-occuring conditions such as depression, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, trauma, cancer, anxiety and pain disorders. She has over 100 publications and was the author of the first self-help book for evidence based treatment of comorbid insomnias. Dr. Carney s book and the training materials she helped to develop, are currently being used in the nationwide rollout of CBT-I training of Veteran s Affairs Administration healthcare providers. Integrating evidence-based insomnia treatment into your practice with clients with depression, trauma, anxiety or chronic pain Sleep is one of our most fundamental human needs and when sleep problems occur, it often becomes the most prominent problem in a person s life. Sleep problems almost always co-occur with other problems such as depression, pain or anxiety, but few mental health providers have the tools necessary to treat this highly comorbid problem. This is particularly troublesome because we now know that a failure to treat insomnia is associated with poorer treatment outcomes for the co-occurring condition, such as depression, pain or anxiety. Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for insomnia is a very brief, highly effective treatment, with demonstrated efficacy across multiple comorbidities. Moreover there is considerable evidence that those without sleep specialties can effectively deliver this treatment. This workshop will provide you with the tools to effectively integrate this treatment into your existing practice. After a brief overview of sleep regulation, attendees will learn how to assess sleep problems, provide a rationale and deliver the treatment, as well as troubleshoot issues relating to comorbid conditions (e.g., helping someone with anhedonia or pain get out of bed in the morning). This workshop is hands-on, and attendees will learn via role play practice, behavioural experiments, sleep diary exercises and case formulation worksheets. 3

4 Dr. Keith Dobson is a Professor of Clinical Psychology at the University of Calgary in Canada, where he has also served in other roles, including Head of Psychology and Director of the Clinical Psychology program. His research has focused on both cognitive models and mechanisms in depression, and the treatment of depression, particularly using cognitive-behavioural therapies. He has participated in several trials of the treatment of acute depression, as well as prevention of depression. A current focus of his work is on the prediction and prevention of relapse in depression. Dr. Dobson s research has resulted in over 200 published articles and chapters, 11 books, and numerous conference and workshop presentations in many countries. His books include Evidence-based Practice of Cognitive-behavior Therapy (2009, with Deborah Dobson, Guilford Press), the Handbook of Cognitive-behavioral Therapies (3rd Edition) (2010, Guilford Press). He has two DVD series, and a 2012 book on Cognitive Therapy with the American Psychological Association. In addition to his research in depression, Dr. Dobson has recently been engaged in the examination of psychological approaches and treatments in primary care. This work has resulted in research that is related to the integration of evidence-based treatments in family practice. He has been the President of the Canadian Psychological Association, Past-President of both the Academy of Cognitive Therapy and the International Association of Cognitive Psychotherapy. He is the Principle Investigator for the Opening Minds program of the Mental Health Commission of Canada.

Hebb Award for Distinguished Contributions to the Science of Psychology. Cognitive-behavioural therapy for depression: Where are we now, and where should we be going? This address will review the initial beginnings of cognitive behavioural therapy for depression, including some of the seminal work in the field. It will proceed through key studies, including those that have directly compared CBT to pharmacotherapy for depression, as well as recent meta-analyses, to draw conclusions about the state of the art in this area of research. Having made this review, the address will examine current directions in the field of CBT for depression, as well as future challenges and opportunities. The dissemination of proven treatments is a critical issue for the field, both at home and abroad. The expansion of CBT for depression to patients with recurrent, comorbid and complicated depression represents another current drive in theory and research. The integration of existing CBT models with more recent innovations such as mindfulness based therapies is an important issue to recognize and address. Finally, the development and delivery of novel delivery mechanisms is a strong focus in the field. The address will review these various initiatives, and provide suggestions for an evidence-based expansion of the treatment of depression.

Understanding and Treating Emotion Dysregulation in Borderline Personality Disorder A serious psychiatric disorder characterized by instability in relationships, emotions, identity, and behaviour, BPD is among the most complex, misunderstood and stigmatized mental health problems. People with BPD often experience intense emotional suffering and are at high risk of suicide and self-injury (approximately 9-10% die by suicide, 75% have attempted suicide, and 69-80% self-injure). BPD is also a significant concern for the public health system, with BPD patients constituting up to 20% of psychiatric inpatients and heavily utilizing outpatient and hospital emergency services. In fact, the estimated costs to the healthcare system per year for each patient with BPD have ranged from $12,000 to $30,000 (U.S.D.). Self-injury and other problems in BPD appear to be related to problems in the management of emotions, or emotion regulation problems. Indeed, predominant theories of BPD have emphasize the role of emotions and emotion regulation in this disorder, suggesting that those with BPD tend to experience heightened emotionality and difficulty tolerating and managing emotions. This way of thinking about BPD has formed the foundation for effective treatments, such as Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. In this keynote address, the speaker will summarize what we know about the role of emotions and emotion regulation in BPD, the implications of this for effective treatment, and some important next steps to take to better understand and help those suffering from this complex disorder. Assessment and Treatment of Self-Injurious Behaviour This workshop will provide guidance on how to conceptualize, assess, and treat a puzzling and challenging clinical problem - non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI). NSSI is a prevalent and serious health and mental health concern, with up to 4% of the general population and up to 35% of university students reporting some history of this behaviour. NSSI is not just a problem related to borderline personality disorder (BPD), as many people with a variety of other clinical concerns and disorders engage in NSSI, such as those with mood disorders, eating disorders, substance use problems, among others. Moreover, NSSI is among the most robust predictors of future suicidal behaviour and results in a variety of negative health-related, emotional, and interpersonal consequences. Therefore, it is important for clinicians to understand and have some practical tools to assess and help people who self-injure. This workshop, drawing from both cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) and dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) principles and practices, this workshop will help clinicians better understand self-injury and provide some practical tools and strategies for the assessment and treatment of this clinical problem. 5

Using Motivational Interviewing Techniques to Enhance Cognitive Behavioural Therapy This skills session will review the principles and techniques of motivational interviewing that can be integrated into cognitive behavioural therapy to enhance readiness to engage in therapy as well as reduce resistance. Motivational interviewing is a directive, client-centred approach to therapy that helps individuals identify and resolve ambivalence about making lifestyle changes. Didactic instruction, video clip examples (mostly from treatment of addictions) and role plays will be used. This intermediate/advanced skills session is intended for participants who are familiar with the theory and practice of cognitive behavioural therapy and will enhance their skills in dealing with clients having difficulties making lifestyle changes.

When the Going gets Tough! Tackling Treatment Resistance in Anxiety Anxiety disorders are among the most prevalent of psychiatric disorders and are associated with significant disability and substantial costs for society. Despite effective treatments, including medication and cognitive behavioural therapy, it has been estimated that about 40% of patients are partially or completely resistant to first-line treatments (Bystritsky, 2006). In addition, up to 50-60% of patients may remain symptomatic despite first-line treatments (Lanoutette & Stein, 2010). This advanced skill workshop will provide an overview of various forms of treatment resistance in the psychological management of anxiety disorders. Participants will learn how to reconceptualize treatment resistance and incorporate a motivational interviewing style within a cognitive behavioural approach. Participants will learn to apply specific motivational enhancement skills for addressing therapeutic resistance using video demonstration and role plays. Dr. Karen Rowa completed her Ph.D. in clinical psychology from the University of Waterloo. She is a psychologist at the Anxiety Treatment and Research Clinic at St. Joseph s Healthcare in Hamilton where she provides assessment and treatment services for people with anxiety disorders.
