COURSE DESCRIPTIONS
PROGRAM:
Clinical psychologists sometimes encounter issues in their therapy practices that are not within their own specializations but which may be occurring more frequently or are currently in the media or research news. This conference provides for clinical psychologists expert overviews of current “hot topics” to help them be of assistance to therapy clients with these issues.
Former San Diego Deputy District Attorney Paul Greenwood, LLB JD, will describe the epidemic of elder abuse currently occurring in San Diego County and what clinical psychologists should do when they encounter abuse in their older adult clients. Jean Twenge, Ph.D., nationally recognized speaker/researcher on children and adolescents, will present evidence that members of Gen Z are growing up more slowly and are experiencing mental health declines associated with cell phone use and social media. She will suggest ways in which these young people can lead healthier more balanced lives. Gregory Polston, M.D., pain management specialist with UC San Diego Health, will describe for participants advances in conceptualizations of chronic pain and the latest multi-pronged approaches used to manage and treat those who suffer. .
Psychologist Brett Ford, Ph.D. (University of Toronto) and political scientist Kevin Smith, Ph.D. (University of Nebraska) will discuss political stress; what it is, how it differs from other types of stress and how conference participants might be of help to those suffering in these politically troubled times, including themselves. Bernie Sunwoo, MBBS, medical director of the Pulmonary and Sleep Medicine Center at UC San Diego Health, will present overviews of normal sleep, common types of sleep disorders, associations between poor sleep and psychiatric abnormalities and current approaches to assessing and managing difficulties with sleep.
Researcher Hans Oh, Ph.D. (USC) will assist participants to explore ways in which, despite solid education relating to race, they may continue to be in denial of their own racism and how this might be addressed to improve relationships with clients. Marc Norman, Ph.D. ABPP/ABCN, clinical neuropsychologist at UC San Diego Health, will provide participants with an overview of memory loss in older adults, its nature, how it is assessed and current approaches to intervention and treatment.
