programs. A.
Beyond the Ties that Bind Adult Children and Their Parents: A Satir Experience
that Prepares Your Grown Child to be Your Equal (July 1 -- 9am to 1 pm.) Leader: Sandra Neil, Ph.D., Australia This technique was devised by Dr Sandra Neil and Dr Robert Silverberg to adapt Dr Virginia Satir's notion of "sculpting" to clinical settings where physical movement of the family members is limited, impractical, or undesirable. Sculpting is a vehicle for creating differentiation, integration, and awareness for and of change in the family. Clinical use of sculpting in family therapy is sometimes restricted: involvement of family members requires a larger room and sufficient numbers of people to represent important family members. This adapted technique was adapted by Drs Neil & Silverberg to allow one or all members of the family to be symbolically represented in a complex three dimensional "chessboard and pieces" interaction, using language and chessboard to make explicit the perceptions and rules of the family, and to understand family pain, triumphs, sibling bonds, and triangulations. Boundaries, roles, rivalries, friendships, loves, gender issues, and occupational issues can be projected, identified and transformed using this brief, intensive, and process-oriented method. Participants often experience strong feelings in response to exercises and experiential aspects of this workshop.
B.
Divorce: Helping Clients Cope (July 1 -- 2 am to 6 pm) Leader: Matti Gershenfeld, Ed. D., USA Divorce
is probably the most traumatic experience individuals have to live through –
today, tomorrow, and on into the future. There are reverberations everywhere –
with families of origin, with the ex-spouse, with children, with work, with
building a new single life. Divorce has been prevalent for more than 30 years.
How do we as psychologists help clients to cope, do well with their children,
and build a new life. Through lectures, role-plays, small group analyses, and
handouts, participants will focus on areas of special difficulty. These will
include: stages of divorce, effect of divorce on children by age groups and
gender, relationships with ex-spouse, custody arrangements, and getting on with
life. Dr.
Gershenfeld is a Fellow of the American Psychological Association and the
American Association of Marriage and Family Therapists. She has been an Adjunct
Professor at Temple University for 25 years, has taught at many universities in
Europe, Israel, and Australia, and is the Immediate Past-President of ICP.

C. Hiew, Ph.D., University of New Brunswick, Fredericton, NB, Canada Self-care
to promote health and wellness relies fundamentally on the individual’s
ability to learn self-regulation techniques to relax and manage unhealthy
cognitions, emotions, and behaviors. There are many self-regulation techniques
based on the biopsychosocial model of stress and health. However, for people
living in harsh environments and social conditions that produce profound
personal trauma and agony more effective and ecologically matched solutions are
needed. In Eastern healing traditions, such as in TCM (traditional oriental
medicine), Qigong and meditation they are referred to as methods of enhancing
resilence and self-healing. In these traditions, the fundamental dynamic leading
to normal and healthy physiological functioning is a smooth bioenergy flow.
Emotional problems and stressful thoughts that effect well-being are altered
with the bio-energy-consciousness dynamic. The stress response is replaced by
the self-repair response and homeostasis and healthy physiological functioning
are also restored,
