Andrew Tatarsky, PhD
The Scientific Revolution in Addiction Treatment
From Disease Model to Psychobiosocial Model, From
Abstinence-Only to Integrative Harm Reduction Psychotherapy
We are in the midst of a global paradigm shift in how we view substance users and the spectrum of problematic substance use. We are moving from moral, criminal and unitary disease models to viewing substance use as a health issue and human rights issue that varies on multiple psychobiosocial dimensions in ways that are unique to each person. This model shift implies the need for a personalized, collaborative integrative harm reduction approach to address the diverse needs of this large undertreated group of people. Dr. Tatarsky will introduce Integrative Harm Reduction Psychotherapy (IHRP), his integration of harm reduction principles into psychotherapy and substance use treatment. IHRP brings together relational psychoanalytic, active cognitive and behavioral skills building and mindfulness techniques in a harm reduction frame to support positive change in substance use and related issues. He will discuss how IHRP has particular power to attract, engage and facilitate positive change in a group of people that has traditionally been thought to be hard if not impossible to treat in psychotherapy.
Andrew will discuss the clinical challenges of problematic substance use and the limitations of the prevailing disease model-based abstinence-only treatment. He will explore the theoretical basis for IHRP including a psychobiosocial process view of addiction, the multiple meanings model and the Transtheoretical Stages of Change model. Finally, he will present an overview of IHRP’s 7 therapeutic tasks with emphasis on therapeutic process and technique. Participants will have opportunities to practice skills, discuss difficult cases and discuss application to their settings.

Jody Messler Davies, PhD
The Man Who Would Be Everything (To Everyone)
The Unconscious Realities and Fantasies of Psychic Truth and Change
This presentation explores the analytic treatment of a patient who presented himself to the analyst as "a compulsive liar unable to tell the truth." The work with this patient raises important questions about the importance of "truth" in analytic work, and the relative balance of understanding and insight of actual lived experience, and the co-creation of new experience as it emerges between patient and analyst within their work together. Are either insight or new experience sufficient, and how does each provide the necessary context for the other.

Margaret Black Mitchell, LCSW
The Schwartz Memorial Lecture
Sources of Energy
“Now Moments” meet Relational Process
The findings of infancy researchers have been generally resonant with much of the intersubjective emphasis of a relational perspective, recognizing the deep affective and rhythmic connection between mother and child that serves as a crucible of human development. Some more recent developments, however, seem to emphasize contrasting understandings, particularly around the important issue of the process of clinical change. We will explore this issue and in particular the issue of energy, from the perspective of a relational process and from the perspective of some areas of infancy research. We will look at the contributions of Daniel Stern including “now moments” and “vitality affects” and consider how these contributions have been depicted in their clinical application. Are now moments discrete events? Within the course of therapy, do vitality affects exist unto themselves or is their meaningfulness in part a feature of the interrelated polarities, the “ritual and spontaneity” (Hoffman) engendered by a relational clinical process?
