WOL828: The Faces of Narcissism: Navigating Assessment, Treatment and Clinical Challenges

Training fee: $27
Instructor: Lindsay Martin, PhD, LPC, NCC, CIMHP

Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is gaining attention amidst what experts are labeling a "narcissism epidemic." Recent studies indicate that up to 6.2% of the U.S. population meets the criteria for NPD. Even more concerning is the prevalence of subclinical narcissism, affecting an estimated 10-15% of the population — equivalent to approximately 33-50 million people displaying these traits. This course delves into how societal changes have contributed to the rise of narcissistic behaviors, examining both clinical and subclinical levels. Participants will explore the complex etiology of NPD, identify assessment tools and review evidence-based treatment strategies. Additionally, the course will address the unique challenges clinicians face, such as navigating clients' grandiosity and resistance to change, providing professionals with practical skills to implement effective interventions in today's increasingly self-focused society.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

  • Define narcissistic personality traits at clinical and subclinical levels.
  • Describe the etiology and contributing factors to narcissistic personality disorder.
  • Identify assessment tools for evaluating narcissistic traits.
  • Discuss challenges and best practices for working with individuals exhibiting problematic narcissistic traits.

WOL815: Compassionate Leadership Strategies

Training fee: $27
Instructor: Karin C. Gladney, PhD, CAADC

In today's rapidly evolving work environments, effective leadership is not merely about achieving business objectives; it's about fostering environments where individuals feel valued, respected and supported. Compassionate leadership, psychological safety and appreciation in the workplace are not just desirable but essential for organizational success. Research consistently demonstrates that health care organizations with compassionate leaders, psychologically safe environments and cultures of appreciation experience higher levels of employee satisfaction, retention and performance. This will in turn improve patient satisfaction and outcomes.

In this course, participants will explore the theoretical foundations, empirical evidence and practical implications of compassionate leadership, psychological safety and appreciation in the workplace. By engaging in interactive discussions and other interactive exercises, participants will develop the knowledge, skills and competencies necessary to become effective and compassionate leaders who create inclusive, supportive and high-performing clinical work environments. The course emphasizes the importance of empathy, active listening and vulnerability in leadership. Topics include compassionate leadership styles, building trust, conflict resolution, cultural considerations and creating psychologically safe spaces for diverse teams.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

  • Define and discuss key characteristics of compassionate leadership.
  • Apply principles and theories on compassion, empathy, emotional intelligence, cultural intelligence and psychological safety in leadership.

WOL827: Rethinking Psychopathy: From Misconceptions to Therapeutic Formulations

Training fee: $27
Instructor: Lindsay Martin, PhD, LPC, NCC, CIMHP

Not all individuals with psychopathy wear prison uniforms — many walk among us, thriving in corporate offices and communities while leaving chaos in their wake. Approximately 1% of the general population exhibits psychopathic traits, and up to 25% of the prison population fits this profile. However, many more with psychopathic tendencies flourish undetected in society as "subclinical" or "corporate psychopaths." In this workshop, we explore the nuanced differences between psychopathy, sociopathy and antisocial personality disorder, and challenge common misperceptions and stigmas perpetuated by researchers and clinicians. Assessment tools to identify psychopathic traits will be introduced and interventions used in clinical practice described. Attendees will leave with a deeper understanding of this perplexing population and practical strategies to work with them.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

  • Describe the similarities and differences between psychopathic, sociopathic and antisocial personality structures.
  • Evaluate common misperceptions and stigmas related to psychopathic personality structures.
  • List assessment tools used to measure psychopathic traits.
  • Identify interventions for working with individuals exhibiting psychopathic traits.

WOL802: Prolonged Grief Disorder: Considerations for Assessment, Diagnosis and Treatment

Training fee: $27
Instructor: Karin C. Gladney, PhD, CAADC

Grief is a complex and universal human experience, but for some, it can develop into a debilitating and prolonged condition known as prolonged grief disorder (PGD). An estimated 7-10% of bereaved adults and approximately 5-10% of children and adolescents will experience persistent symptoms of prolonged grief disorder, which extend beyond what is considered the normal course of mourning.

The addition of PGD to the Trauma and Stressor-Related Disorders chapter of the DSM-5-TR has sparked controversy and debate about the pathologizing of grief. In this workshop, we will review the latest research on grief theory to help clinicians differentiate between “normal” and pathological forms of grief.

Attendees will gain a comprehensive understanding of PGD, including its diagnostic criteria, prevalence, etiology and risk factors. This course will provide practical skills in assessing and managing PGD, including evidence-based assessment tools and treatment approaches designed for working with those struggling with severe and prolonged grief reactions.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

  • Describe prolonged grief disorder (PGD), including symptoms, prevalence, diagnostic criteria and potential risk factors.
  • Discuss at least two tools to assess and diagnose those with PGD using a culturally sensitive and empathic approach.
  • Identify several evidence-based interventions to help individuals with PGD manage symptoms and improve overall functioning.

WOL832: CBT for Suicidal Behavior

Training fee: $18
Instructor: Donna Sudak, MD

Suicide is the 11th leading cause of death in the United States. CBT approaches to the suicidal patient have been proven to reduce rates of future attempts (Brown et al., 2005; Tarrier et al., 2008). Active and collaborative work to reduce hopelessness and specific anti-suicide plans are important features of this approach to patients.

This seminar will briefly review research on CBT for treating suicidal patients. The central features of CBT methods for suicide risk will be demonstrated. Particular attention will be paid to development of the CBT elements of a safety plan in a depressed patient.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

  • Assess and modify suicidal thinking with CBT principles.
  • Describe research that supports CBT for reducing suicide risk.
  • Implement CBT-oriented safety plans with at-risk patients.
  • Describe the conceptualization of suicide in CBT.
  • Select cognitive and behavioral procedures to decrease despair and increase engagement.
