Date: August 1, 2011 4:29:00 PM EDT
Please forward this announcement to any list serves you may be on.
NIRE is excited to offer this new ethics workshop by Mary Ortwein, MS, LMFT
Empathy and Ethical Dilemmas: Honing A Therapist's Basic Tool
Wednesday, August 17, 2011, 9:00 a.m. - 12:15 p.m.
Location: NIRE, 4400 East-West Highway #28, Bethesda, MD 2814 CE Credit: 3 CE Credit hours Recently The Networker conducted a survey to identify the most influential therapist of the 20th century. Carl Rogers was chosen. Surprised? You don't find many strictly Client-Centered CE Workshops or programs of study in graduate schools. He's not the talk around therapist gatherings that EFT or CBT or Mindfulness is. But Rogers' empathy, genuineness, and unconditional positive regard remain as core characteristics of the successful therapist. How does a therapist's empathy potentially create or complicate ethical dilemmas? How might it help resolve them? How might a therapist use empathy to work through counter-transference issues? The workshop will be a combination of lecture, discussion, and skills training. After a brief review of empathy as concept and therapist skill, participants will examine situations where therapist empathy, if unexamined, can create slippery slope situations where boundary violations may occur. Then participants will learn, observe, and practice two skills based on empathy, to resolve such situations. Troubleshooting uses empathy combined with effective self-expression of the therapist to maintain boundaries in troublesome situations. Empathic Role-Taking enables a therapist to self-examine (and possibly work through) once counter-transference issues surface with a client. This workshop is for psychologists, marriage and family therapists, social workers, professional counselors, pastoral counselors, or other mental health providers will explore how therapist empathy can create, complicate, and help resolve potential ethical dilemmas. Whether you work with individual adults, with children, with families, or with couples, this workshop will provide you with interesting information and take-home skills. At the conclusion of the workshop, participants will be able to: 1. Identify how unexamined empathy can create potential ethical boundary violations, and how examined empathy can help resolve them.
2. Use Troubleshooting, a specific method of therapist empathy within the Relationship Enhancement Model, to resolve slippery slope situations without bending ethical principles.
3. Use empathic role taking for self-examination when a therapist identifies counter-transference issues with a client. Mary Ortwein, MS, LMFT, is Executive Director of IDEALS of Kentucky.

Below is a newsletter that will likely go out today to a larger list. You may well get a second copy. I simply wanted to send it to you from my email lists, to make SURE you get it. We HOPE to send a similar piece of information about trainings, materials, etc on a regular basis to those who have been trained through I-Ky.

Calls will be returned as soon as possible. Sometimes emails can be returned sooner, because they can be more easily done during workshop breaks.
Recent Research on MML
California Healthy Marriages Coalition has conscientiously evaluated MML, the traditional RE program, and numerous other marriage education curricula used in CHMC's current marriage education grant.
In findings presented earlier this month at the NARME Conference in Dallas and in personal communications with IDEALS staff, we are happy to report that:
- Data from research conducted by the California Healthy Marriages Coalition show Relationship Enhancement and Mastering the Mysteries of Love to be two of the four most effective Marriage Education programs taught in California.
- There was significant improvement in marital quality and communication skills from pre to post test, at 30 days, and at 6 months.
- Amount of time spent practicing was significant for levels of improvement, with communication, problem solving, couple satisfaction all improving more with additional time spent in class or by phone practicing skills.
- This was especially noticeable for the approximately 1/3 couples who entered the marriage education classes "distressed" or "highly distressed."
- Generally, levels of improvement were equivalent to the levels of improvement shown in the Penn State research conducted by Dr. Bernard Guerney and his associates. This would indicate that the original research (see Research and Meta-Analytic study ) holds for MML.
- Other curricula which also showed substantial improvement in CHMC's research were also led by trained facilitators and included substantial practice time.
