The cultivation of the necessary mental qualities and practical skills that allow healthcare providers to effectively accompany dying people and their families through the experience of a catastrophic illness and/or the dying process requires training. Such training involves the development of a steady, compassionate and present-centered awareness that positions caregivers as strong, compassionate and stable advocates for those who are suffering and dying. It also affords caregivers a means to be enriched, and not depleted by, their care of others. This talk explores a contemplative approach to psychosocial, spiritual and ethical aspects of care of the dying. The main focus is the cultivation of mindful awareness, emotional balance, equanimity and compassion around issues of death and dying. These mental qualities and the practices that develop them assist caregivers in providing more mindful and compassionate end-of-life care and effective self-care that reduces secondary trauma, burn-out, and moral distress. Roshi Joan Halifax, PhD, is a Buddhist teacher, anthropologist, author and social activist. She has worked with dying people since 1970. She is Founding Abbot and Head Teacher of Upaya Zen Center and Institute in Santa Fe, New Mexico. She founded the Ojai Foundation, The Project on Being with Dying, the Upaya Prison Project, and the National Network of Contemplative Prison Programs; and she is a co-founder of the Zen Peacemaker Order. She is currently a Distinguished Visiting Scholar and Kluge Fellow at the Library of Congress. Her various academic honors have included a National Science Foundation Fellowship in Visual Anthropology, appointment as an Honorary Research Fellow at Harvard University’s Peabody Museum, Rockefeller Chair at California Institute of Integral Studies, and the Harold C. Wit Chair at Harvard Divinity School. In addition to authoring several books and producing sound recordings of her lectures, she has done a six-CD series for Sounds True entitled “Being with Dying.” She is co-chair of the Lindisfarne Fellows, and is Board member and Fellow of the Mind and Life Institute. 7KXUVGD\-XQHSP²SP )DPLO\0RGHORI%HUHDYHPHQW&DUH8VLQJ5HODWLRQDO0HDQLQJ(Advanced) David Kissane, MD Family Focused Grief Therapy (FFGT) has proven efficacious in ameliorating depression and distress among “at risk” bereaved family members when a relative dies from cancer. It fosters relational meaning for the family and appears protective of complicated grief. It is commenced during advanced cancer with the patient present with their family and continued through 6-10 sessions over as many months. To integrate this preventive model into regular practice, routine screening of family functioning with the Family Relationships Index permits identification of “at risk” families. Barriers to engaging families will be explored. David Kissane, MD, is Chairman of the Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences Department at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, attending psychiatrist and also professor of psychiatry at Weill Medical College.

The fires killed 173 people, the highest loss of life from a bushfire in Australian history, and injured 414 more. Christopher Hall and his colleagues at the Australian Centre for Grief and Bereavement mobilized to assist government in providing bereavement services to those affected. In this compelling session, he’ll offer a brief overview of the bushfire event, his organization’s role as a government-funded specialist bereavement service, and their interface with government, other service providers and the bereaved. The presentation will also touch on details related to the disaster, like the high rates of multiple family and childhood deaths and the impact of ensuing legal and coronial processes. The clinical implications of grief work with the survivors during the event, during the recent second anniversary of the fires and into the future will also be explored. For the past 13 years, Christopher Hall, MA, BEd, has held the position of Director of the Australian Centre for Grief and Bereavement, a government-funded specialist bereavement service, which is based in Melbourne, Victoria. He is a psychologist who has developed a specialization in the field of grief and bereavement over the past 20 years. Chris has trained many health and education professionals in grief theory and interventions both in Australia and internationally. He has a strong interest in child and adolescent grief, traumatic and complex bereavement experiences and the organisational impact of grief and loss. In 1999 he was elected to the International Work Group on Death, Dying and Bereavement (IWG) and currently serves as chair of the board of the organization. )ULGD\-XQHSP²SP /LIH'HDWKDQG6XIIHULQJLQD*OREDO&RQWH[W(Advanced) Solomon Benatar, MD The fragility of life on this planet and the limits of progress are increasingly becoming apparent. However, an unrealistic sense of entitlement to everything that modern science, technology and medicine could offer remains pervasive, while millions of people continue to die prematurely — often in childbirth, childhood or early adult life from malnutrition, easily preventable or treatable infectious diseases and trauma. Widening disparities in health result from, inter alia, actions reflecting exaggerations and distortions of our value system. Prognoses for improved global health will be offered, and potential courses of action suggested that could lead to significant progress. Solomon (Solly) Benatar, DSc (Med), is Emeritus Professor of Medicine and Director of the Bioethics Centre, University of Cape Town, South Africa; and Professor, Dalla Lana School of Public Health, Joint Bioethics Centre, University of Toronto, Canada. 6DWXUGD\-XQHSP²SP $PELJXRXV/RVV$8QLTXH.LQGRI/RVV:KHQ/RYHG2QHV'LVDSSHDU(Intermediate) Pauline Boss, PhD Ambiguous loss is a loss that remains unclear. It is traumatic and complicated because there is neither closure nor verification. A loved one is lost physically, disappearing without a trace, with no body to bury. Or a person is lost psychologically due to a dementia, here but not here. When there is ambiguous loss, traditional www.adec.org grief therapies are insufficient; ambiguous loss is a relational disorder and not an individual pathology; meaning and hope can be restored by strengthening one’s resilience for ambiguity. Presentation is based on the presenter’s two books: Ambiguous Loss (Harvard University Press, 1999) and Loss, Trauma, and Resilience (Norton, 2006). Pauline Boss, PhD, is the principal theorist in the study of ambiguous loss and has summarized her work in Ambiguous Loss (Harvard University Press, 1999) and Loss, Trauma, and Resilience (Norton, 2006).

Advanced Course: Complicated Bereavement and Grief Therapy )DFXOW\5REHUW$1HLPH\HU3K' Intended Audience: Psychologists, social workers, marriage and family therapists, licensed professional counselors, nurses, physicians, pastoral counselors, or anyone with professional training seeking advanced skill development in bereavement intervention with challenging cases. Course Description: A significant percentage of individuals who lose a loved one struggle with prolonged and debilitating grief that merits professional intervention. The goal of this course is to draw on contemporary models and research findings that help distinguish between benign (or resilient) patterns of grieving and those that are more complicated, traumatic or entail greater risk to the bereaved person’s psychosocial adaptation, health and interpersonal relationships. The course will acquaint participants with specific conceptual and practical tools for evaluating and intervening in such complications. Robert A. Neimeyer, PhD, is professor and director of psychotherapy research in the Department of Psychology, University of Memphis, editor of two respected international journals, Death Studies and the Journal of Constructivist Psychology, and a former president of ADEC. The author of over 300 articles and book chapters, he is currently working to advance a more adequate theory of grieving as a meaning-making process. 3URIHVVLRQDOGHYHORSPHQWFRXUVHVUHTXLUHDVHSDUDWHUHJLVWUDWLRQDQGIHH See form on page 27 for details. www.adec.org Preliminary Program 7 ® Pre-Conference Institute Tuesday, June 21 and Wednesday, June 22 Arrive a few days early and enhance your conference experience by participating in one or more of the pre-conference sessions being offered.

Bereavement after suicide may entail high levels of disorientation, guilt, regret, anger and trauma. Survivors may also find their relationships with other people changed, as they struggle with the social stigma often placed on suicide, and the social ambiguity created in relationships with social networks after a suicide. Family relationships may also be significantly changed by the feelings of guilt, blame and failure that suicide may engender. Survivors may also be at risk for elevated rates of complicated grief and future suicidal ideation themselves. All of this makes surviving the suicide of a loved one a potentially life-transforming ordeal that requires a level of support that goes beyond traditional grief counseling. This workshop will examine adolescent bereavement, grief and mourning. The intent is to move from knowledge about adolescent responses to bereavement to application of the information. The workshop has a four-part structure: (1) the developmental backstory necessary for appreciating the positioning of bereavement in the lives of early, middle and later adolescents; (2) conceptual frameworks that help our understanding of adolescent responses to irreparable losses through deaths of family members and friends; (3) empirical data obtained from bereaved adolescents; (4) application of workshop information to vignettes of bereaved adolescents. John (Jack) Jordan, PhD, FT, is a licensed psychologist in private practice in Wellesley, MA, and Pawtucket, RI, where he specializes in working with loss and bereavement. He was also the founder and director (until 2007) of the Family Loss Project, a research and clinical practice providing services for bereaved families. He has specialized in work with survivors of suicide and other losses for more than 30 years. As a Fellow in Thanatology from the Association for Death Education and Counseling (ADEC), Jack maintains an active practice in grief counseling for individuals and couples. He has run support groups for bereaved parents, young widows and widowers, and suicide survivors, with the latter running for over 13 years. 0RXUQLQJ/RVVHVLQD)DPLO\ (Intermediate) Justine van Lawick, PhD In all families, losses and mourning are part of life: losses of cherished desires about family life and children; about work; about romantic love. These losses can lead to intense mourning processes and depression — and also to family violence. Family therapy can help people to accept difficulties and tragedies of life. When a family member dies, family therapy can help people to find a way to live with the pain and the challenges in acting around pain. In this interactive workshop, we will work with mourning and bereavement in families supported by a presentation, exercises, video and cases.

Ethics in Clinical Settings 5HDOOLIH'LOHPPDV What “Ought” One to Do? (Intermediate) Clint Moore, MDiv, PhD Whether one works in healthcare, counseling or education; whether one is a social worker, psychologist, nurse or professor, each of us faces situations that raise particular ethical issues and call for an ethical response. Occasionally, these issues rise to the level of an ethical dilemma, which involves making a choice between conflicting values or equally unsatisfactory alternatives. Ethics asks, “What ought one to do?’ In the context of actual cases, it is imperative that one determines which framework best addresses the ethical dilemma at hand without cherry-picking to confirm one’s preconceived notions of what ‘ought’ to be done. The Reverend Clint Moore, MDiv, PhD, is an Episcopal Priest and serves as the Clinical Ethicist at Advocate Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge, IL. He is a core member of the Palliative Care Consultation Team.

Intervention following loss needs to address relationship to the deceased and meaning for the bereaved. The Two-Track Model of Bereavement and the Dual Process model are compatible with perspectives focusing on relationship. Assessment and intervention benefit from understanding individual, family and cultural factors. We use clinical examples to demonstrate interventions directed to biopsychosocial functioning, relationship to the deceased and a combination of the two. Materials include individual, familial and cultural aspects and incorporate cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal, psychodynamic and strategic intervention paradigms.

Clinical Intervention Strategies After Sudden and Traumatic Death 7KHUHVH5DQGR3K' This workshop focuses upon intervention strategies applicable after the sudden and traumatic death of a loved one poses the mourner with challenges stemming from the volatile mixture of loss and trauma. The ensuing combination of grief and traumatic stress often severely disables coping, impairs functioning and compromises adaptation. The dynamics found in sudden death from accident, disaster, suicide, homicide (including terrorism and war), and acute natural causes (from medical events such as heart attack or stroke, or from acute illness such as SARS or bacterial meningitis) typically lead to complicated mourning, which demands vastly different treatment approaches than if the death had been expected and natural. Drawing on cutting-edge information from the fields of clinical psychology, thanatology and traumatology, Dr. Rando dissects the complex and often misunderstood experience of traumatic bereavement, and provides strategies for effective clinical intervention. Therese Rando, PhD, BCETS, BCBT, is a clinical psychologist in Warwick, Rhode Island. She is the Clinical Director of The Institute for the Study and Treatment of Loss, which provides mental health services through psychotherapy, training, supervision, and consultation, and specializes in: loss and grief; traumatic stress; and the psychosocial care of persons with chronic, life-threaten- Preliminary Program 9 ® Pre-Conference Institute Tuesday, June 21 and Wednesday, June 22 ing, or terminal illness, and their loved ones.

The great power of art is to activate, renovate and transform. A painting, poem or cartoon is just the prod to shake us out of the rut of ordinary perception. Even seasoned clinicians interacting with the creative and fine arts experience antidotes to burnout and compassion fatigue, gain insight, and reconnect to the creativity, renewal and joy in their work. Drawing on the wisdom of Visual-Thinking-Strategies and Internal-Family-Systems models, participants will explore resources and techniques readily accessible and adaptable for use in clinical and educational settings.

Parental Grief: Parenting After the Death of a Child (Intermediate) 6WHSKHQ)OHPLQJ3K' This workshop explores the impact of the death of a child on the family and, more specifically, how bereaved parents continue to parent their surviving children. Based on qualitative data, the following questions will be discussed: How do bereaved mothers and fathers actually experience themselves as parents after the traumatic rupture of their relationship with their child? How do they experience and interact with their surviving children? How do bereaved parents send their surviving children back into a world proven to be unsafe and treacherous? How do parents juggle grieving and parenting simultaneously (the concept of bereaved parenting)? +DOI'D\:RUNVKRSV$IWHUQRRQ :HGQHVGD\-XQHSP²SP Music of the Soul — Composing Life Out of Loss (Intermediate) -R\6%HUJHU)7'0$%&&07%& Both intrapersonally and interpersonally, music can be an intimate mode for being in and moving through one’s mourning. Whatever one’s musical background, workshop participants will learn simple conversational tools for inviting another’s music connected to a loss and its meanings. Rich music metaphors creatively transform participants’ basic knowledge and skills into an artistry for “composing life out of loss”: rhythms of body and soul, themes and counterthemes of life-stories, harmonies and dissonances of healing, and final cadences. Integrated with key thanatology research, Berger’s paradigm provides sensitive music interventions for guiding persons in memorializing, mourning, reconstructing meanings, and moving into life. Joy Berger, FT, DMA, BCC, MT-BC, serves Hosparus Inc. as the Quality and Education Researcher, in Louisville, Kentucky. Dr. Berger is the author for Music of the Soul – Composing Life Out of Loss. 'LVDVWHU5HVSRQVH(Intermediate) 0DULD+HOHQD3HUHLUD)UDQFR3K' The response to survivors of disasters presents specific needs to be addressed; the unique losses brought on by disasters, together with their traumatic reactions, require specialized training and constant performance assessment of the professionals involved in counseling. This workshop will present results of experience with focus on communication skills, the expected reactions of survivors, and care for the service provider in order to prevent burnout.
