Precisely. And so, I began to think

disappointment, a sense of failure, and

EVIDENCE-BASED
MENTAL HEALTH
TREATMENT (EBT)
PARITY: A WORK IN
FOR OLDER ADULTS PROGRESS
By Jeff Schanowitz, Ph.D.,
Practice Management Committee Member
By Andrew R. Clark, Ph.D.
There exists a need to identify
psychological interventions for older
adults that have a scientific evidence
base. This information is important for
practitioners, legislators, scientists, and
consumers. For example, support for
legislation to create services for older
adults is buttressed by strong evidence
that treatments reliably work in the way
intended. Insurance carriers such as
Medical, Medicare, and others are also
demanding EBT for older adults. This
article contains a synopsis of my
dissertation findings and is one
example of Evidence-Based Treatment
for older adults. When implemented,
these findings will most likely enhance
private practitioners' delivery of
service working with this population.
I recently met a
woman who

quipped. Why in
the world would anyone want such a
curse? Why is it that one of my patients
who is suffering a depressive disorder
has a $ 25.00 co -pay, a stri ct
authorization process, limitations on
visits and lifetime limits, while another
of my depressed patients with the same
insurance company has a $5.00 co-pay,
no authorization process, and unlimited
visits? The answer to both questions,
as you probably know, has to do with

MEMBERS ON THE MOVE
Where is the best Japanese food in San Diego? If you are trying to think of a
restaurant, you are going in the wrong direction. It is at the home of Nancy and
AustinAuger. The latter is an exceptional cook. Austin is to Japanese cuisine what
Neil Ribner is to the food of France. Pete Libero and his wife, Lynn Helinski,
hiked in the beautiful Dolomites of Northern Italy this fall. Later they went to
Florence and toured Tuscany.
The SDPA Fall Conference was a big success. Among the attendees were Sue
Lagasse , Gita Elgin, Joel Lazar, Hugh Kamen, and Vic Kops. Holly Hunt was
there as was Robin Bronstein. David Cain attended along with Jay Dess, Ken
Dellefield, and Bert Edelstein. Bert's wife, psychologist Karen Helrich, was
there learning and later enjoying LooseAssociation, as were Eloise Foster, Karen
Fox, and Tom Gibson. From North County came Randy Robinson, John Grabel,
Steve Goldstein, Michele LaRue, and Margit Bojstrup. Vic Frazao, Sharon
Weld, and Ain Roost, all past presidents, were at the Hilton. I talked with Pete
Libero, fresh from Italian travel, and met Ken Herzog, a reviewer for UBH. I had
talked with Ken many times but had never met him. Nancy Auger came for the
music as did Dave Wexler, whose wife, Connie Brunig, was singing. Old friends
Doug Hyman and Rich Hycner were at the conference. Janet Jaffe, who has a
book coming out with David and Martha Diamond, was an attendee. I talked with
my old friend Susan Jasin, and saw Brenda Johnson, next year's SDPA president.
RoseLee Josephson was talking with Patty Petterson. Hiking colleague Kathy
Kramer attended as did friend, Jerry Madoff. I saw Vicki Nevins and Sharon
Pankey. John Pullen went to workshops as did Linda Savage. I sat next to Gloria
Shurman and talked briefly with Mary Sheets, who I wrote about a couple of
years ago in the Newsletter.
Ashley Clipson, the statistical whiz woman, who also happens to be the daughter
of Clark Clipson and Chris Osterloh, came to hear her father play the keyboard at
the Fall Conference. Her parents will travel to Italy this fall. In his younger days,
Clark lived in Nepal and India.
Barbara Rosen will be continuing her travels with a trip to India this Spring. Rob
Brager and his wife, Elayne Berman, will be going to Italy for a month in the fall
of 2005. Steve Sparta has joined a growing list of psychologists who have
relocated their residences downtown. Kay DiFrancesca is there as is Judy
Meyers. Tricia Heras and her husband, Judge Yuri Hofmann, will be visiting the
Philippines in 2005. Karen and Ron Zappone's multi-talented daughter continues
to be a social worker by day and professional salsa dancer at night.

PRESI

SCORNER
Chris Osterloh, Ph.D.
It seems like it was just a couple of
months ago that I was writing my first
newsletter column. I can't believe how
quickly the time has passed.
On behalf of the Association, I extend
gratitude to Steve Solomon and Jeff
Jones, who leave the Board after
fulfilling their terms of office. Steve,
your leadership and guidance based in
years of experience have been
instrumental in helping to build the
strength of SDPA. Jeff leaves his
position as Member-at-Large. This
year, our membership has increased
under his direction and I truly
appreciate his dedication. Thank you
both for your contributions. We are
going to miss your light-heartedness at
the Board meetings!
Returning to the Board, but acting in
different roles are Brenda Johnson,
Nancy Haller, and Christine Baser.
Chris moves from her position of
Secretary to Member-at-Large. Nancy
becomes our new President-Elect. And
Brenda will assume the Presidency.
Brenda, I pass the baton!
Also returning will be Hugh Pates, who
will act in his second term as CPA
Representative. Serving as liaison
between CPA and SDPA, Hugh has
done a great job of keeping the Board
well informed on the many activities at
CPA.
The dedication and work accomplished
by this past year's Board is the
foundation for the 2005 Board of
Directors.
Please join me in
applauding our returning Board
members Lori Magnusson as CPA
Representative and Rosalie Easton as
our Treasurer. I am also very pleased to
welcome our newly elected Secretary,
Preston Sims.
This year has been filled with many
members offering their time and
energy.

programs have been offered by many of
you and are appreciated by the rest of
us.

you believe as I do, that the ultimate
achievement is being a part of a
community, then I think that I can
safely say that on a personal level, I
have achieved the ultimate in this past
year. I have been supported by many
of you in times of understanding and in
times of misunderstanding. I have
worked and played, agreed and
disagreed, and laughed and sighed,
with so many of you.
2005 will also bring some changes in
leadership to varying Committees and
Task Forces. Space prevents me from
expressing gratitude to each of the new
and continuing Chairs, but please
accept this as a thank you to all for your
continued philanthropic work in
bettering the San Diego community of
psychology.
I want to extend my appreciation to the
Past-Presidents Committee. This has
been a year of change that has brought
with it a need for counsel. This

DiFrancesca and now chaired by Ain
Roost, welcomed me to their meetings
to bounce ideas and problem solve
together. They listened, understood,
and remained neutral. I truly thank
them.
Continuing to offer her administrative
support is Sharon Wilson. Sharon will
celebrate her third anniversary as
Office Manager of SDPA. As you
know, she is dedicated to serving the
member ship and her energy is
unending. Kirsten Gorell has joined
our staff and brings her strengths of
organization and attention to detail.
Sharon and Kirsten have spent much of
this year learning how to develop our
staff from a one-person office to a
shared responsibility and they have
developed a strong team. Thank you
b oth f or y ou r ded ic ati on an d
willingness to put up with us! I also
want to thank Kay Wilson who
volunteered so many hours at the
office. Although she no longer works
with us, I want to extend my
appreciation for her time. Thank you all
for your help in serving the needs of all
SDPA members.
I started this Presidency with many
goals. As happens, my goals were
altered by more immediate needs. In

rearview mirror; knowing what we
know now, but could not have possibly
known then - herein lies the rub. If you
knew then what you know now,
perhaps the circumstances of your life
would be different. Might you have
chosen a different profession, a
different mate, residence? The list is
endless. Isn't that impossible though?
How can you know what you know
until you know it? I often make that
very statement to patients who are
berating themselves mercilessly for a
decision or choice made after the fact.
Typically, these are conscientious

aspiration to approach each and every day as an
opportunity to be better and live more
fully. The problem with this attitude,
however, is that it can be a set up for
perfectionistic thinking, which leaves
no r
oom f
or “good enough.
”
Oftentimes, life is just that. In fact, the
majority of the time this is the case. We
human beings must give ourselves
enough latitude to be imperfect. That's
different from giving oneself too much
leniency and rationalizing, or making
excuses throughout life for bad
behavior and poor judgment. These
are two opposite ends of the continuum.
I do not claim to be much of a political
animal or know the inner workings of
the government in great depth. I do,
however, have a fairly decent grasp of
human beings and watching the current
election process is fascinating indeed.
How easy it is to sit back and criticize,
after the fact, one's opponent for any
number of decisions. Granted, it's a
race for the highest office in the land
and almost anything goes but, no one
really knows all of the variables that
went into each and every choice made
by anyone at any given moment - no
one. It's presumptuous and arrogant to
think otherwise. Would President Bush
have made a few different choices
during his tenure in office? No doubt.
Would Senator Kerry have done things
differently on occasion during his
twenty year tenure in the Senate? Take
a guess. No one is perfect. We all are
hopefully making the best decisions
possible on any given day based upon
the information before us. Knowing
now what you could not have known

assessment of the quality of that choice
on your information today is a waste of
time and energy for it is not possible.

thereby reducing the possibility of
making the same choice twice.
An important aspect of living without
regret and accepting the path one has
taken is acceptance of what is - let me
say that again: acceptance of what is.
Parenting is another great example of
ongoing choice points one must make
on a continuous basis. Until you've
experienced it, it's difficult to embrace
what a challenging endeavor this is - to
raise another human being; daunting at
best. I suppose it's possible that if more
people knew what they were signing up
for before having children, we might
have an even lower population rate!
And yet, most parents embrace this
awesome responsibility and do the very
best they can. Is it perfect? No. Are
there really any books out there that
specifically address the needs of your

hi

margin of error inconsequential? No.
Every parent must ultimately trust that
they are going to make some mistakes
along the w ay (hopefully, n ot
catastrophic ones) and that for the most
part, they will raise a reasonably well
adjusted child. Please note: I am not
including cases of abuse, neglect, and
o t h e r su c h s im i l ar h o rri fi c
circumstances that can inflict injurious
physical and emotional consequences
for the child during critical phases of
development.
The path not taken exists for us all.
What matters today is the path you
presently find yourself on and deciding
if it's the correct path for you. Is it the
path you want to continue following or
is it a path leading you to another that
may include greater risks, rewards, and
renewal? The point is that this may not
be something you know for certain
today. Life is an ongoing process for us
all.
Open yourself up to the
possibilities and see what you find out
about yourself and others. You might
be surprised to discover what you will
know then, what you could not have
possibly known now.

with your patients paying 50% co-pay
for any mental health diagnosis versus
20% co-pay for all medical conditions.
Only by playing by the rules as they
exist in current form and supporting
change to full parity both on a state and
national level can we truly better serve
our patients. My take on this is that full
parity is on the near horizon both in this
state and on the national level as the
benefits are considerable and positively
impact a broad spectrum of the
population. The cost has been found to
be very low in states where full parity
has been in practice for a while. In the
meantime, play by the rules as they are
today; support change for tomorrow.
Current parity legislation and practice
in California clearly place a seemingly
arbitrary and unfair financial burden on
select mental health patients which
does not exist anywhere else in the
healthcare reimbursement arena. This
circumstance lends itself to the
potential for ethical conflicts for
clinicians who may be subject to subtle,
or not so subtle, pressure, either
internal or external, to preserve
financial resources and maximize
available benefits through creative

CPA UPDATES
BANQUET TIME
By Lori Magnusson, Ph.D.
The big news for the new year for CPA
is that a new Executive Director will
be in place starting Jan. 1, 2005. Dr.
Linder-Crow will assume this office
on that date.
Dr. Linder-Crow
received her B.A. from Baylor
University, her M.A. from Lewis and
Clark College and her Ph.D. in
Education Administration from
Gaullaudet University. She has served
as the Executive Director for
Education and the Director for
continuing professional education for
t h e A m e r i c a n P sy c h o l o g i c a l
Association. She is currently the
Executive Director of The Glendon
Association in Santa Barbara, which
conducts research and provides
education and training for mental
health professionals.
The Association also starts the year
with Dr. Lechuga of Orange County,
as President, and Gilbert Newman
Ph.D. as President-Elect. Gilbert was
the recent Government Action Chair
and brings to this office a strong desire
to increase funds for legislative
initiatives and activities. This is a
major purpose of CPA to both defend
and expand the scope of practice for
psychologists.
Tw o m e m b e r s o f o u r l o c a l
Association,
Sallie Hildebrandt,
Ph.D. and Haim Belzer, Ph.D. will be
leaving their offices at the end of the
y e ar. Sal li e h as ser v ed CPA
remarkably well during her term as
President. Her marvelous skills of
adaptation, negotiation, and conflict
management have served all of us very
well during the past year. She leaves
her office with the Association more
unified and stronger than when she
assumed the responsibilities of
President. Haim served as treasurer
during a tumultuous time at CPA, with
a change of Executive Directors and
the selling and moving of CPA offices.
He was always a calm, reasonable
influence during this time and CPA is
more financially viable and stronger
due to his patient and persistent efforts
to make this possible for our
Association.

The election of
Secretary for CPA
ended in a dead
heat. Our own
Ann Carson,
Ph.D. was one of
the candidates.
Neither candidate
asked for a recount and there were no
hanging chads. So, ballots have once
again been sent out to the membership
for a revote for this very important
office. We will keep you informed
about the final outcome.
CPA is now in a very good position to
become a very powerful influence on
statewide legislation, with two
psychologists in the Assembly and
two in the Senate. We do need
numbers in our Association to become
even more powerful and influential.
We ask those of you who are not yet
members to join with us in moving the
cause of psychology forward in our
state. Step forward and join the
Association and take advantage of the
many rewards and benefits that come
with this membership!
SDPA's annual banquet will be held this
year on February 5th at the Bahia Hotel.
The evening is a combination of
friendship, music, dancing, and short
speeches. It is always fun. Don't miss it.
It's rumored that Brad Pitt and Jennifer
Aniston will be coming this year.

PEOPLE ON THE MOVE: FROM THE CATSKILLS TO QUALCOMM
By David DiCicco, Ph.D.
I had known Steve Bucky for many
years, first as his student, later as
colleague. He had always been an
interesting person to me, and when I
read he was talking about Sports
Psychology at the state convention, I
decided to go hear him, since it was an
area about which I knew little. The
presentation was fascinating, and after
realizing I wanted to know more about
Steve and this area, I called him to
request an interview. On a sunny
morning at Alliant University, where
Steve had been a professor for many
years, we sat down to talk.
Both of Steve's parents escaped from
Germany during World War II. His
mother started a nursery school in New
York, where some of her clients were
fellow Berliners. Her future husband,
who had studied opera in Paris, came to
New York with no money, though his
family had been wealthy in Germany.
Whereas he produced operas in Paris,
he now changed tires for $12.00 a
week.
Eventually Steve's parents bought a
camp in the Catskills. Steve was a swim
instructor at the camp, where he met his
wife, when he was fourteen. Following
graduation from City College, Steve
married and began graduate school at
the University of Cincinnati. SDPA
member Neil Ribner was a classmate.
After graduate school, Steve joined the
Navy and was sent to Pensacola to
evaluate pilots who were having
emotional problems as a result of
combat in Viet Nam. While playing
golf with the base Admiral one
afternoon, the senior man suggested the
new psychologist address any drug or
alcohol problems that might exist on
base. After several publications, Dr.
Bucky was seen by the Navy as an
expert in the area, though he himself
felt like a novice!
He eventually headed a Pentagon team
which evaluated substance abuse
treatment programs at the Long Beach
and Miram ar
bas es . At his
request, the Navy
sent him to San
Diego, where he
worked in a Point
Loma facility. A
chance meeting
with Maury
Zemlick led to a position at CSPP,
which was just beginning, and to
private practice, as he and Maury
decided to share a suite.
At this time the Navy was using the
evaluation that Dr. Bucky had
developed, but they felt it was outdated.
A phone call resulted in Steve flying to
the Pentagon to put together a long term
evaluation program. Requisitions for
staff, equipment, and other resources
were met, and for the next five years
Steve evaluated Navy substance abuse
treatment programs. Money was saved
and programs improved. There was
little sleep in these years for Steve as
was his way, but finally he decided he
had done what he wanted, and he left
the Navy.
He expanded his private practice and
gradually shifted emphasis from
children and adolescents to substance
abuse and forensics. Steve continued to
teach at CSPP and see private patients
over the years. In 1991, the San Diego
Chargers approached him about
consulting with them in the area of
drugs and alcohol. A few years later he
was approached to do similar work by
San Diego State University.
Steve saw players who were having a
variety of problems from substance
abuse to depression to relationship
conflicts. His role with the Chargers
expanded from being an invisible
office presence to spending time with
players in the locker room and on the
practice field. At times it constricted
depending on the management of the
team and their belief in and comfort
with sports psychology.
When I asked Steve why players
Jan 2005
9
sometimes ran into problems when
they first came to the National Football
League, he told me that the players
were vulnerable in many ways. They
were young, had a lot of money, and
were away from home. Over time,
Steve found that the mental and
personal life of a professional athlete
had a huge bearing on his performance.
Since players were only in the NFL for
an average of 3.3 years, Steve wanted to
help them perform at their best sooner
rather than later. He began asking
players to rate each other on a number
of variables such as work ethic,
confidence, and mental toughness. He
then asked each player to rate himself.
When he found large discrepancies, he
asked players if they wanted to
improve. For example, he found that

success amongst the football players.
Other important attributes turned out to
be intelligence, character, reliability,
integrity, and love of the game.
When I asked for specific examples of
how he worked with individuals, Steve
told me that he would meet with a
player and go over ratings. He would
ask the players to delineate their goals
and then reevaluate their strategies for
meeting those goals in light of the
ratings by players and coaches. Maybe
players needed to watch more game
films or get to practice earlier. Steve
made the point that the players were
coming up with their own solutions to
meet their own goals. Many were
unaware that they weren't working hard
enough.
As the morning lengthened, our
conversation drifted away from
football back to the summer camp the
Bucky family owned. Though the camp
has been closed for forty years,
remarkably 130 people attended a
recent reunion. Many campers had
been the children of German refugees,
and the camp had been a family away
from family. The Wall Street Journal
printed a piece on the reunion, and
Steve led a process group to help
attendees understand the place camp
held in their lives.
Steve hopes to continue working in the
area of Sports Psychology. He has
recently written a book with several
others on ethics and the law, and plans
to write one in Sports Psychology.
Steve Bucky's destiny may have been
established early. He pointed out that
his mother and father were always
interested in the development of the
people around them. His older brother
is a psychologist. Steve has never
stopped asking questions, and this
process, along with a courageous,
adventurous spirit, has helped him
move at different times to the cutting
edge of his profession.

interesting.
3. What is a good local hike in San Diego? Climb Iron Mountain in Poway. It's 7

four straight-up, vertical ladders that
took us 150 ft. above the ground, with
cars whizzing across the bridge below
us. With the wind picking up strength
and with the increased volume of noise
from vehicles below and the bridge
moving just a bit, my heart rate went up
and the questioning of my
rationality began in earnest.
Once the ladders were mastered, the
trek up the girders became easier since
the vertical incline was less severe.
There were steps and a hand rail to get
us to the top. Upon reaching the summit
we were treated to an extraordinary
view of the Harbor, which many travel
magazines have touted as the most
beautiful in the world. There was also a

changing chambers, doffed our grey

uncertain about her success in dealing
with her long term fear of heights. I too

QUESTIONS FOR JANET JAFFE, Ph.D.
DINING OUT
By Nancy J. Auger, Ph.D.
What have you been doing since
graduation?
After graduating from CSPP in 1995,
has it really been that long!?!?, I went
into private practice and continue to be
at the same office in Mission Valley. In
addition, I am a co-founder and codirector of The Center for Reproductive
Psychology, along with colleagues
Martha and David Diamond. We
established the Center in 1996 to help
people who have experienced a wide
range of reproductive traumas,
including infertility, miscarriage,
p remat ur e b ir th , mul ti ple an d
complicated births, as well as
postpartum adjustment problems. We
also help people grapple with the
complicated decisions regarding the
use of donor technology, surrogacy,
and adoption.
Tell me more about the Center.
The mission of The Center is threefold: to provide clinical services,
conduct research, and educate others.
We developed the Reproductive
Trauma Study Group at CSPP where
we've had many students complete
their Ph.D. or Psy.D. degrees on
reproductive psychology issues for
both men and women. And, we've
lectured nationally and internationally
at APA and CPA as well as other
professional conferences, at hospitals,
doctor's offices, and to patients at
support groups such as RESOLVE and
Empty Cradle. Our website is:
www.ReproductivePsych.org.
I hear you have written a book.
And the three of us have written a book!
Unsung Lullabies, Understanding and
Coping with Infertility is due to be
released in June 2005 (St. Martin's
Press). Its focus is on helping people
gain insight into the pain, trauma and
multiple losses of infertility. Written
for the general public, Unsung
Lullabies is unique in that it translates
many underlying psychological
constructs that impact one's sense of
self into language that is easily

entered the
learning curve of how one markets a
book - a completely new educational
venture.
One of the perks of writing Unsung
Lullabies is that I took a sabbatical from
my private practice. For six months in
2002 my family and I lived in
Barcel ona, Spai n and travel ed
throughout Europe. How did we live
before laptops and Internet cafes? It
was very nerve wracking to close up
shop for so long; I worried that I would
never be able to build up my practice
again. But as it turned out, many
patients just took a sabbatical from
therapy while I was gone - some
actually were inspired by my leave to
'go for it' themselves. I became more of
a role model for them than I ever would
have guessed.

The name of the

Churrascaria, which is located on

region of Brazil called the Pampas, the
churrasco (barbecue) style of cooking
originated more than three centuries
ago. The gauchos roasted large portions
of poultry, pork and beef on skewers
over an open fire pit, which preserved
the characteristic flavors and natural
juices of the meat.
This tradition is featured at the
restaurant, with over 18 different types
of meat, served to you on a skewer and
served at your own pace. The waiter

REUNION
Sonoma County with its rolling hills,
quaint small towns, and multiple
vineyards is an attractive place. My
wife, Vicki, and I had flown to Oakland
and then driven to Healdsburg, to
attend my 45th boarding school
reunion. There had been 45 people in
my high school class, and 39 were left.
Twenty classmates with their wives,
most from the East Coast, were
planning to attend. The setting for the
festivities was dramatic. Lou Preston, a
classmate, owned Preston Vineyards of
Dry Creek, and he was hosting the party
at his winery.
Friday night we met half the group at a
Japanese restaurant and later everyone
congregated at a local bar for drinks.
The next day we went to the winery to
talk, play Bocce Ball, and drink Lou's
fabulous wines. That evening, Lou and
his staff served an outdoor, sit down
meal. We ate roasted pork, fresh
vegetables from Lou's garden, and his
homemade bread. Of course, there was
an unending supply of fine wines
accompanied by live music.
I hadn't been to many reunions of any
sort in the past, a mistake on my part.
Boarding school had been an intense
experience. From age 14-18 I had lived
with my classmates, who came from all
parts of the country. I had had good
relationships with many classmates and
conflicts with others. My position as
head of the student discipline system at
times made relationships complicated
and difficult.
One of my first interactions that
weekend was with a person with whom
I had experienced conflict. He
approached me at the bar and said the
school had been his family. His parents
hadn't been that interested in him, he
said. Things instantly became clearer to
me, and we began to form a new
relationship. This experience wasn't
unusual. People seemed to want to
undo past interpersonal roadblocks and
move on. Another classmate took me
aside and apologized profusely for
making jokes about Italians 45 years
ago. I told him it was not a problem and
Jan 2005
not to worry about it. He seemed to feel
better.
Initially I saw the group with teenage
eyes. I viewed the social structure like I
did in high school. I looked at people as
if they were 18! As we talked, new
understandings presented themselves,
and I was able to return to the present.
It wasn't hard to relate to the people
with whom I had been most friendly.
The process was natural. However,
what was most fun was seeing some of
my other classmates with new vision. I
spent much time with two people with
whom I hadn't been close. I found them
and their wives warm and interesting.
The wine, beautiful Sonoma setting,
and the music made talk come easily.
My relationship with one classmate
was complex. We had been ambivalent
friends, competitors, and colleagues.
He was passionate, feisty, and likeable.
Throughout the weekend, we kept
circling each other trying to get on new
footing. We shook hands, embraced,
and smiled at each other. He would
bring up an incident, and we would talk
about it. We were trying to work things
out without acknowledging it.
important to me and my classmates.
Individual and group loops had been
closed. There were new beginnings and
understandings. We felt more whole.
The sun was bright now, and the hills
sparkled. The road was empty as I
drove swiftly through the countryside
with thoughts of music, wine, and
memories. I thought of green playing
fields and the camaraderie of my
classmates. I thought of the people who
had died and those who were left. I
remembered the brilliance of the New
England autumn, the feel of creased
leather, and the sounds of boys, all too
soon to be men.

There was a classmate I had greatly
admired. He had excelled at everything
and had been a wonderful friend. But
life hadn't been so good to him. He
didn't look healthy, and there had been
problems in many areas of his life. It
was hard to understand. Another
classmate had been obsessed with
railroads in high school, and now he
was CEO of a small railroad in
Pennsylvania!

On Sunday many of us came back to the
winery to talk. Later we drove to lunch,
and I joked that it was the never ending
party as people didn't seem to want to
end the weekend. We talked of future
reunions and meetings, and we were
sad as we felt the moments slipping
away. Finally it was over, and Vicki and
I drove back to Geyserville.
I realized, as I drove through the
vineyards, that the reunion had been

TASK RAVES ARE IN FOR THE
SUPERVISION TASKFORCE WORKSHOP
FOR CSPP PRACTICUM AND INTERN
STUDENTS
By Ken Dellefield, Ph.D.
On September 11 the SDPA
Supervision Task Force offered
training on group psychotherapy.
More than fifty CSPP students took
advantage of this workshop, which
was given free of charge. The
Taskforce spent many months
considering projects that would be
of help to psychology students in
San Diego. It was known that group
psychotherapy was a responsibility
for the majority of students at their
field placements, but it was also
known that they received little
training in this complicated, elusive
clinical area. The Task Force saw a
need and acted!
On a warm Saturday the chair of our
task force, Jon Nachison, welcomed
students and introduced the first of
several role-plays by task force
clinicians. The students had a
chance to see psychologists play
some disturbed clients as several
g ro u p lea de rs dem onstra ted
different approaches. Preston Sims
then presented a power-point
presentation on group therapy using
Yalom's concepts to identify
therapeutic factors that operate in
therapeutic process groups.
After lunch, there were two more
group role-plays. Following each
role-play workshop members
analyzed what took place. Lively
questions and discussion followed.
Many of the students were kind
enough to provide feedback and
suggestions.
Based on their
positive response, the task force has
decided to offer another group
psychotherapy workshop for CSPP
students in September, 2005.

MINDS WILL OPEN MARCH 5TH
By Clark R. Clipson, Ph.D.
The Fellows of SDPA are busy
organizing the Op enin g Minds
Conference.This is a program designed
for the public to help educate them
about various mental health topics.
Workshops will be held on topics
ranging from grieving the loss of a pet
to preventing youth violence. It will be
held on March 5th, 2005 at the Town
and Country Convention Center.
Our keynote speaker, Richard Levak,
will provide a lively and engaging
address for a lunch-time crowd on
lessons learned from screening
contestants for reality television shows.
The Fellows Committee is currently
working hard raising funds for the
Conference through sponsorships and
exhibitors. Linda Charles and John
Grabel have developed our panel of
experts who will lead workshops in
numerous areas of interest to the
community. Vic Frazao and Maury
Zemlick are developing relationships
with potential sponsors, while Ann
Carson is in charge of publicity. Tom
MacSpeiden is coordinating the event
site. We have an excellent event
planning team that includes a graphic
design specialist helping us develop
promotional material. We have been
actively planning this program for two
years and are now soliciting your help.
We need your help. We are counting on
our members to help make this
Conference a success. We will be
asking you to help get the word out. If
you know anyone or any business that
might be interested in sponsorship,
please contact them. There will be
brochures that can be placed in your
waiting rooms to help spread the word
to people you think may be interested in
attending. We hope to also use radio
and print ads to promote the event, and
there is some interest from local
t ele vi sio n stat io n s to p r ov id e
advertising as well.
With this event, we are forging new

BOOK REVIEW: COMING HOME AGAIN
By Janet Farrell, Ph.D.
Want to read a
clinical text on
intergenerational
family therapy that
will keep you
turning pages into
the wee hours of
the morning?
If so, I highly
recommend Coming Home Again: A
Family-of-Origin Consultation by the
late James Framo, his wife and SDPA
member Felise Levine, and Timothy
Weber. Tim, a psychologist in Seattle,
volunteered his family of origin (his
father, himself and his four adult
siblings) to be interviewed in one of
Jim's workshops. Thus began a series of
two initial therapeutic consultations
and two follow-up sessions, first
between Tim's family and Jim, and later
with Felise joining them as Jim's cotherapist at the follow-up meetings.
One reason that family-of-origin
therapy comes alive in this book is the
highly personal, behind-the-scenes self
disclosures and insights by all three
authors. What makes this book unique
for me is the fact that I can easily
identify with the roles of so many of the
people involved. Jim, and later Jim and
Felise, decided what and who to focus
upon from minute to minute, a task
made more daunting by the number of
family members and the brevity of the
treatment. Felise seamlessly joined
with the family as Jim's co-therapist
halfway through the treatment, after
strong therapeutic connections had
already been established. All of the
Webers appeared live on stage at the
workshop, airing their intimate family
history and dynamics before an
audience of clinicians. In addition to
being a family member in therapy in
front of his peers, Tim took the
emotional and logistical responsibility
for bringing the entire family together
for this extraordinary and sometimes
anxiety-provoking event. Tim's goal
was to deepen his relationships with his
family of origin by connecting with
them around their shared history,
especially as it pertained to their
deceased mother. I think Tim felt he
accomplished his goal, although again,
the authors are forthright in sharing all
the family members' varying opinions
of the outcome of the treatment.
Not only is this book a great read, it's a
testimony to the power of family-oforigin therapy and to its great pioneer,
Jim Framo. On top of that, it's written
by one of SDPA's own, Felise Levine!

The Ethics Committee deals with
questions of ethics and professional
conduct in an educative and advisory
role. It deals with both the professional
community and the general public.
The Committee does not investigate
complaints against members of the
psychological community. Inquiries to
members of the Committee regarding
complaints against psychologists are
referred to the Board of Psychology.
The primary goal of the Committee is
the education of members of SDPA
with respect to ethics and standards.
This objective is achieved by activities
such as: 1) round table discussions, 2)
workshops and seminars, 3) newsletter
articles, and 4) consultation to
members.

SURVEY RESULTS
By Jeff Jones, Ph.D.
Membership Chair
You may recall an
email survey you
received in June
requesting your
opinion on
“distance
l
e
a
r
ni
ng” CEUs
.
At that time, the
B o a r d
o f
P sych o log y was con sid er in g
expanding the number of CEU hours
psychologists could complete via
Internet distance learning courses,
increasing it from eight to eighteen
hours for each renewal cycle. The
SDPA Board felt it would be a good
opportunity to survey our membership
on this issue so we may present our
support for expanding the hours or offer
our concerns on this expansion. I
would like to review the results of our
survey below.
We had 91 respondents to our brief
questionnaire. Approximately 20%
felt the hours should remain the same
and almost 60 % replied they should be
expanded to 16 hours. Another 20%
reported they felt there should be no
limits on the number of distance
learning CEUs a psychologist could
accrue during the two year renewal
period.
Two respondents thought
distance learning CEUs should be
eliminated all together.
In late June, we learned from Dr. Sallie
Hildebrandt, CPA President, that the
BOP had increased distance learning
CEUs to 18 hours. She wrote in an

LOOSE ASSOCIATION ROCKS!
SDPA has its own rock band. They are
called Loose Association and were
formed by the exceptionally talented
Preston Sims, who sings and plays
guitar. The lead female vocalist is
rocker Stacy Kim Johnston. Other
vocalists are multi-talented Toni Ann
Cafaro and newcomer, Connie Brunig.
Jon Nachison plays drums, and Stan
Pachter is the guitarist. Clark Clipson,
so gifted, is on keyboard.
The band played at this year's Fall
Conference and were a big hit. Their
performance had a Vegas feel to it with
the women frequently changing their
clothes and with leader Sims bantering
with the audience, Jay Leno style.
Highlights for me were Stacy Kim
singing an Eagles song, a group rock
song, and the debut of Connie Brunig. I
loved the spirit and obvious talent of
Toni Ann Cafaro.

This is a great interpersonal tool. Like a
courtroom sidebar it signals a break in
the formal proceeding of the meeting. It
pr ov id es an opp or tu nit y f or
participants to brainstorm and think
creatively with no commitment to
action.
I have borrowed this phrase and
strategy from Steve and use it often in
clinical work, meetings, and social life.
I t's an imp or tan t cl ub in my
interpersonal golf bag. When you are
one hundred eighty yards from the
green with a tree in your way, give,
thinking out loud a chance!

ADVERTISING CHANGES
Susan Torrey, Ph.D.
We all know the importance of the
classified advertising section of the
newsletter. Full members are entitled
t o p l a c e o n e f r e e c l a ss i f i e d
advertisement in each edition of the
newsletter. All members benefit from
the information contained therein.
Members appreciate and use this
benefit to advertise available office
space, therapy groups, employment
opportunities, vacation condos, etc. In
addition, members regularly peruse the
classified ads in search of specific
information or just to see what's going
on with colleagues. Historically, free
classified ads have been placed and left
to run indefinitely, on occasion
resulting in predictable, outdated or
over-exposed ads.
The newsletter staff has developed, and
the SDPA Board has approved, some
modifications to our full members' free
classified ad benefit, with the goal of
maintaining a fresh, relevant, and
26
useful classified advertising section in
the newsletter. Beginning in February
2005, free classified advertisements
placed by full members will be
accepted for publication on a quarterly
basis. Advertisements can be renewed
quarterly thereafter (January, April,
July, and October), by the full member
emailing renewal instructions (and/or a
'refreshed' ad) to the SDPA office, in
accordance with publication deadlines.
Publication deadlines are the first of
each month prior to the intended
publication month.
The newsletter staff encourages
members to participate by updating
your free classified advertisement,
consider adding a photograph, if
appropriate, and read and use the
classified advertisements.
The newsletter staff is pleased to offer
the option of including photographs or
graphics for a reasonable fee as an
en h an c eme nt t o cl as si fi e d
advertisements. While photos would
no t be ap pro pri ate for al l
advertisements, a photograph just
might make the difference in getting
that vacation condo or office space
rented.
