Stephen Hawking noted recently that increased empathy is the best hope for the survival of the human race. Some have suggested we are entering the age of empathy, but what does that mean for our day-to-day lives? Mutual empathy is central to the theory and practice of relational-cultural theory. The development of empathy at a societal level contributes to: stability, reduced violence, more emphasis placed on the education of girls, reduced bullying, to name just a few. We are hard-wired to be empathic, but our cultural context often dismantles our natural inclination to respond with empathy. While empathy can lead to a sense of being understood or of better understanding another’s experience, it can also disrupt established patterns of viewing and interacting with others. It can take us to places of vulnerability and uncertainty. Empathy goes beyond being “nice”. It calls for radical respect for difference and an acute awareness of our probable impact on others as well as an openness to being impacted by others. Empathy informs many spheres of our functioning: from programs in schools to the practice of relational awareness; from international peace building to individual efforts to engage in conflict where empathy is at the core. Friday Continued 3-Navigating Social Exclusion and Marginalization in Psychotherapy 12:00 - 1:00 PM - Registration 1:00 - 1:15 PM - Welcome Day 1: Thursday 1:15 - 4:00 PM - Radical Empathy LEAD FACULTY: Judith Jordan, Ph.D., Amy Banks, M.D., Harriet Schwartz Ph.D., Karen Craddock, Ph.D. What is it? How does it contribute to personal and collective wellbeing? Practicing empathy across difference. The panelists will look at empathy and supported vulnerability from clinical, educational, organizational and neuroscience perspectives. 4:00 - 5:00 PM - Building a Daily Practice of Radical Empathy and Supported Vulnerability LEAD FACULTY: Judith Jordan, Ph.D., Amy Banks, M.D., Harriet Schwartz Ph.D., Karen Craddock, Ph.D. Gather with faculty and peers in small group discussions on building a practice of radical empathy in your day-to-day life. What does it mean to step into one another’s shoes? How do we really “get” another person’s story? Friday Continued Judith Jordan, Ph.D. 5:00 PM - Community Dinner LEAD FACULTY: Harriet Schwartz, Ph.D., Lisa Frey, Ph.D., Pat Jameson, Ph.D. How do we help students develop critical consciousness and understand the impact of power-over systems in their lives? How do we help students (particularly those who are resistant) understand privilege and marginalization? Panelists will share related teaching and mentoring approaches that draw on RCT concepts including mutuality, empathy, authenticity, and connection/disconnection. Participants will then work in small groups to further explore and apply these ideas in their own education practice. Day 3: Saturday 1-Educating for Social Change: RCT-based approaches REGISTER TODAY! This Intensive Institute is one of our most popular training events! Register by 5/22/2015 and receive $25 off tuition! OR Register with one or more friends and receive $25 EACH off tuition! 12:00-1:00 PM Community Lunch 1:00 - 3:00 PM - Empathy and Conflict: How Do We Walk the Talk? LEAD FACULTY: Maureen Walker, Ph.D., Judith Jordan, Ph.D., Amy Banks, M.D. In small group meetings we will bring dilemmas or examples of working with disruptive and radical empathy in educational, clinical, organizational and social change settings. LEAD FACULTY: Maureen Walker, Ph.D., Judith Jordan, Ph.D., Amy Banks, M.D. 4:00 - 5:00 PM - Poster Session: Celebrating RCT Research, Theory and Action 2-Walking the Talk: Relational Practices and the C.A.R.E. Assessment to Strengthen Effective Organizational Team Functioning LEAD FACULTY: Karen Samuels, Ph.D., Mary Tantillo, Ph.D. Organizational effectiveness depends on collaborative relationships that are respectful of differences and similarities. Unnamed and unresolved disconnections among team members will erode the fiber of these relationships and can adversely impact work and productivity. Using vignettes from an interdisciplinary clinical team and videotaped interactions, this workshop will present a Relational approach to team functioning and a model for professional education that can help team members recognize and repair the social exclusions that lead to chronic disconnection. LEAD FACULTY: Maureen Walker, Ph.D., Judith Jordan, Ph.D., Amy Banks, M.D. Most of us who live and work to bring about healing in the world know a lot about empathy. It’s what we do; it’s how we want others to experience us. But what happens when empathy as we usually “do it” is not enough? Indeed, what can we do when our idea of empathy actually leads to more entrenched conflict? Using an iterative case discussion as the central methodology, this session will reveal how empathy can be a destabilizing force that unleashes suppressed potential. In so doing, it may transform our stories of reality and our imagination of possibility. 3:00 - 4:00 PM - What Are We Learning: An Integrative Discussion 8:15 - 9:00 AM - Breakfast 9:00 - 10:00 AM - Looking at Mentoring (and Supervision) From Both Sides Now Day 4: Sunday Day 2: Friday Choose one of the following offerings: Each of these will relate to decreasing social isolation and marginalization in the specific area LEAD FACULTY: Karen Craddock, Ph.D., Amy Banks, M.D. In our professional and personal lives we wear many hats that often overlap and intersect. Our complex and layered identities means that we have experienced social exclusion perhaps as the targeted, the bystander or maybe even the initiator. In small groups we will apply strategies using the STOP model as a central lens to discuss and create take-home ideas we have learned to decrease the pain of social exclusion and marginalization in our daily life and work. 9:00 - 12:00 AM - Practicing Disruptive Empathy One Conversation at a Time LEAD FACULTY: Amy Banks, M.D., Karen Craddock, Ph.D. Relational Neuroscience has revealed that the pain of social exclusion and marginalization is every bit as real and as distressing as the pain of a physical illness or injury. What might this mean in a society that routinely stratifies individuals and whole groups of people? This didactic, interactive and experiential session will introduce “STOP”, a new model for relational growth and social justice created by Amy Banks and Karen Craddock. Workshops 1:00-3:00 PM 3:00 - 4:00 PM - STOP the Pain of Social Exclusion 8:15-9:00 AM - Breakfast 8:15 - 9:00 AM - Breakfast 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM - STOP the Pain of Social Exclusion 12:00- 1:00 PM Community Lunch LEAD FACULTY: Amy Banks, M.D. and Lisa Lynelle Moore Ph.D., LICSW A society that regularly stratifies individuals leaves many in chronic pain. How might this pain manifest in the therapist’s office? How might we identify it and offer a healing relationship that soothes the pain. This workshop will use a clinical case example of social isolation as a way to explore these important questions. LEAD FACULTY: Connie Gunderson, Ph.D., Erica Seidel, Psy.D., Shannon Finn, MSW, Mary Vicario, LPCC, Jane Larson and Corrie Ehrbright Both mentors and mentees will address some of the benefits and challenges of using Relational-Cultural Theory to navigate the mentoring relationship. 10:00 - 12:15 PM - Creating Change Together Because Things Have to Change! LEAD FACULTY: Judy Jordan, PhD., Connie Gunderson,Ph.D., Harriet Schwartz Ph.D., Amy Banks, M.D., Maureen Walker, Ph.D. Karen Craddock, PhD We will discuss and problem solve around the challenges and strategies of bringing the concept of radical empathy into our lives and the lives of others. How can we stay open-hearted and courageous as we build relational practice? 12:15 - 12:30 PM - Closing Remarks Continuing Education Credits R e c o mm e n d e d R e a d i n g s This program provides 16 continuing education credits for psychologists, social workers, licensed mental health counselors and marriage and family therapists (NASW, LMHC, AND LMFT approval pending).
