KEYNOTE: Meaningful Recovery: The Process of Long-Term Heling and Recovery
from Addictive Illness - Bruce Carruth, PhD
Everyone acknowledges that recovery from addictive illnesses is a long-term
project. Yet we treat it as if 90 days is all the treatment anyone needs. Try to find a
bed for extended recovery or ask an insurance company to reimburse you or your
program for addiction treatment after 3 months of abstinence by your client.
This talk looks at the process of long-term recovery, some of the characterological
dynamics that need to be identified and addressed (call them “character defects”
if you desire) and how people can heal through psychotherapy, 12-Step recovery,
spiritual processes and, especially, by availing themselves to intimate and
loving relationships.
One goal of this talk is to help counselors conceptualize the long-term recovery
process but the content can also be adapted to help clients understand the path of their own recovery.

With the national movement towards behavioral health, there are many

course for treatment.

building rapport, engaging the client in the assessment process, and gathering
effective information for useful treatment planning. Motivational interviewing,

Playing Games In Therapy with Children and Adolescents (1.5 hrs) Jacqueline Archer, MSW and Dana Cross, MSW
Having trouble engaging adolescents, teens and families in therapy? Do your
young clients just sit there with their hands in their laps, feeling uncomfortable
with the whole “therapy” process? Have you tried board and card games? Often
through the process of playing a game, the client will begin to relax and will be
willing to open up and talk. Games can be fun and engaging to many, and if you
don’t have to think about the actual familiar process of playing the game too
much, then much therapeutic time can be had during the session. Games have
the same give and take process that conversation is supposed to have, which is
easier to follow when taking turns. It also puts you and the client on an even plain
because you can lose as well as he can win. Games can help you get to know
your client better and will support them in getting the most out of their therapy.
Come ready to share your favorites and maybe play a short game or two.
