BRIEF STRATEGIC TREATMENT FOR ANXIETY DISORDERS WITH ADULTS AND ADOLESCENTSwith REID WILSON, Ph.D., author of Don’t Panic: Taking Control of Anxiety Attacks

Caboto Centre, Maura Hall 1055 Wilkes Avenues 9:00 am – 4:00 pm

WI N N I PEG | November 21 & 22, 2011 (Monday & Tuesday)

Anxiety disorders manipulate people by injecting rules into consciousness, then using that set of laws to take over mental territory.

Five anxiety disorders— phobias, panic, social anxiety, generalized anxiety and OCD— control people by generating an absolute standard for certainty and comfort. We will look at the common denominators of this intrusion, and isolate its manifestations in each disorder. Then we will explore how therapists can teach adults and adolescents to gain ground by engineering their own tactics and strategies. This brief strategic approach to cognitive-behavioral therapy helps adults and adolescents � nd the courage and motivation to challenge their old beliefs and attitudes. Practical methods enable adults and adolescents to ignore the content of their obsessive worries and to explore the

feeling of uncertainty rather than � eeing from it. The cutting-edge anxiety treatment is now pushing further into the confrontational. You will learn how to help adults and adolescents purposely to seek out anxiety as their ticket to freedom from crippling fear.

We will begin by covering the essential genetic and developmental themes that lead teenagers and adults to struggle with anxiety. Then we will address the unique attributes of worry and the problems of and treatment for all the major anxiety disorders, including generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety and speci� c phobias. You will learn a persuasive strategy—built out of whole cloth within the � rst session—that will frame the entire treatment protocol. We will focus on three targets of treatment: the physiological, the cognitive, and the frame of reference. By the end of the day we will elaborate on the therapist skills for two speci� c disorders: panic disorder and obsessive-compulsive

disorder. For panic disorder, you will learn how to divide and conquer: to interrupt anticipatory anxiety and then to manage physical symptoms using cognitive strategies, paradox, pattern disruption, exposure and interoceptive exposure, and peeling away their ever-present “safety crutches.” For OCD adults and adolescents, persuading them to adopt a new frame of reference is the therapist's primary task. You will learn a persuasive strategy--built out of whole cloth within the � rst session-- that will frame the entire treatment protocol.

WHY GENDER MATTERS IN EDUCATING BOYS & GIRLS: CONCRETE STRATEGIES TO BOOST ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENTwith LEONARD SAX, M.D., Ph.D., author of Why Gender Matters, Boys Adrift, and Girls on the Edge

Garrick Theatre, Venue 1, 330 Garry Street9:00 am – 4:30 pm

WI N N I PEG | December 5 , 2011 (Monday)

You work with kids for a reason— you want to help them learn, grow and succeed. This workshop will give you a fresh perspective on student behavior and the contrast in how boys and girls learn.

In the author’s own words: Most enduring cultures of which we have any record have a process for transition to a gendered adulthood. In this process, children learn what it means to be female or male in that society. Most Canadian parents ignore it.

Indeed Canadian parents seldom speak to their children at all about the meaning of womanhood or manhood (as opposed to generic, un-gendered adulthood). Most parents today don’t know what to say. But girls and young women still want to know, “What does it mean to be a woman?” Boys and young men still want to know, “What does it mean to be a man?” We don’t tell them. As a result, the marketplace � lls the vacuum, providing “the ready-made masculine and the ready-made feminine” which are caricatures of the real thing; but young people don’t recognize them as

caricatures, because they have received no guidance. The result is a growing proportion of girls (and young women) who are anxious, depressed, and tired; they can tell you a great deal about what they do but not so much about who they are. Likewise, we � nd a growing proportion of boys (and young men) who are disengaged not only from school but from the real world. They are comfortable in the virtual world, where they play their online video games, and/or surf the net for photographs of girls or young women.

— Leonard Sax, M.D., Ph.D

Dr. Sax is a leading expert on the role gender plays in both development and education

Founder of the Montgomery Center for Research in Child & Adolescent Development, Dr. Sax has been featured in the National Post, Globe and Mail, Vancouver Sun and Cape Breton Post. Dr. Sax has also been featured extensively in American media, including the TODAY Show, National Public Radio, PBS, The New York Times, and many other newspapers and magazines. He has been a guest on the CBC program The Current, three times (2005, 2007, and 2009) and has twice been featured in a multi-page interview in MacLean’s: � rst to discuss Boys Adrift in 2008 and more recently

to discuss Girls on the Edge in 2010.

Dr. Sax currently works with schools and teachers from around the world, o� ering his insight into the main di� erences between working with boys and girls in the classroom setting. His work with parents focuses on how best to navigate the unique and the ever-changing challenges facing by today’s children and teenagers.

Dr. Sax is the Al Gore of the gender crisis. He has educated us about the nature and scope of the problem. He has warned us about the consequences of doing nothing. And he has inspired us to take action in our schools and in our communities.”

—Michael Hal� n, Huron HeightsSecondary School, Newmarket, Ontario

I really appreciated the fact that Dr. Sax used primarily Canadian examples, from Canadian curricula and Canadian schools, as well as provincial and national data from Canadian sources.”

—Brenda Newcombe, Principal, Brooklyn District Elementary, Newport, Nova Scotia

Presenters’ books will be available for purchase at our workshops!

LEONARD SAX, M.D., Ph.D. is a family physician, psychologist, founder and executive director of the Montgomery Center for Research in Child and Adoles-cent Development (MCRCAD). Dr. Sax graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and then went on to the University of Pennsylvania, where he earned both a Ph.D. in psychology and an M.D. He completed a 3-year residency in family practice at Lan-caster General Hospital in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. From 1989 through 2008, he was a practicing family physician in Maryland. In 2008, he left medical practice to devote himself full time to MCRCAD. Over the past 10 years, he

has visited more than 300 schools around the world assembling a compendium of gender speci� c best strategies for the classroom. Over the past seven years, Dr. Sax has led more than thirty events across Canada, including Alberta, British Columbia, Nova Scotia, and On-tario. Dr. Sax, M.D., Ph.D, has written three selling books on gender: Why Gender Matters: What Parents and Teachers Need to Know About the Emerging Science of Sex Di� erences, Boys Adrift: The Five Factors Driving the Growing Epidemic of Unmotivated Boys, and Underachieving Young Men, Girls on the Edge: The Four Factors Driving the New Crisis for Girls.

More on presenter: www.leonardsax.com

✓ DO girls and boys really learn di� erently? Is that question even meaningful, given the wide variation among girls and among boys?

✓ HOW can we customize our teaching to be gender speci� c without reinforcing gender stereotypes?

✓ WHAT are some practical strategies to boost academic achievement for students in subjects like English, French language, arts and creative writing?

✓ WHAT can we do to prevent girl-on-girl bullying, including cyber bullying?

✓ HOW do we motivate boys to care more about learning?

✓ WHAT can we do to cut down on discipline referrals and get every student on board?

✓ WHAT racial and cultural-

characteristics need greater understanding to successfully implement these strategies for girls and boys?

✓ HOW to engage and motivate girls in subjects like computer programming, robotics, and natural sciences.

✓ HOW best to evaluate and intervene with the student who is not paying attention?

✓ HOW to distinguish true ADHD from other causes of inattention?

✓ WHEN evaluating the student who is not doing well in school to distinguish a strictly cognitive de� cit from a motivational de� cit – in other words, is this a student who cannot learn without accommodation, or is this a student who doesn’t want to learn because he thinks school is stupid, or boring, or both? And how to remedy a motivational de� cit?

CONSIDER THESE THOUGHTPROVOKING WORKSHOP TOPICS:

✓ HOW much time spent playing video games is too much?

✓ WHICH video games are ok?

✓ WHAT is the story with Facebook? Should I be my daughter’s Facebook friend?

✓ SHOULD I be concerned? My child sends or receives more than 4,000 text messages a day

✓ TRUE or not? the more time a girl spends on Facebook, the more likely she is to become anxious or depressed. And if so, why isn’t it true for boys as well?

ATTEND THIS WORKSHOP AND LEARN:

The teachers found Dr. Sax’s seminar interesting and thought-provoking. Dr. Sax’s evening presentation to the parents had an even more profound impact. His content goes far beyond gender di� erences to deep questions about the directions our society is taking.”

—Janet Sailian, Director ofCommunications, Branksome Hall, Toronto, Ontario
