1. Risk Assessment for Battered Women
Jacquelyn Campbell, Ph.D., R.N.
Intermediate
This workshop will use the revised Danger Assessment (DA2) as the basis
for teaching how to conduct a Risk Assessment with battered women. This
approach combines helping individual or small groups of women to
accurately assess their own risk for lethality (homicide and suicide) or
serious injury in a battering relationship, with woman-centered safety
planning specifically based on that assessment of risk, the woman's
choices, and her particular internal and external context. The
presentation will also address current recommendations that a risk
assessment and safety planning also be conducted with partners of
perpetrators in batterer intervention programs. A brief review of other
risk assessment strategies and instruments that can be used with battered
women also will be provided. This workshop meets 3 hours of the continuing

sexual-compulsivity model. The content will explore both interpersonal
and interactional processes by which the abuse takes place. The workshop
explains how to work with denial, uncover childhood abuse and trauma,
restructure cognitive distortions and behaviors and learn more functional
coping strategies. It also includes the integration of the larger legal

Bonny Method of Guided Imagery and Music
Cecilia Schulberg, M.A. and Mary Desmarais, M.S.W
Intermediate
Whether through drawings, poetry, music, movement, drama - whatever the
artistic medium - the arts provide vehicles that touch, express and
release emotions at the deepest level. For survivors of extreme trauma,
the arts can serve as means of survival (at the most basic level) and
transcendence (at the highest level) - during t heir horrifying
experiences as well as in the healing afterwards. This workshop will
present an inside view of Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) and how the
arts can play a key role toward integration, particularly through the
Bonny Method of Guided Imagery and Music (GIM).
17. Bridge to Safety: How Health Care Providers Can Assist Victims of
Family Violence
Christine Laing, D.O.M.
All levels
Healthcare providers can prevent injury and save lives by learning how to
identify victims of family violence. Yet, it is estimated that most
providers identify only 1 in 24 cases because most do not know how to
screen for this problem. After this workshop, participants will be fully
prepared to start screening for abuse in their practice and gain the
knowledge, confidence, and skills, to effectively respond to victims of
abuse and battering. Participants will be given information on reporting
laws, common errors to avoid, resources, sample documentation, and patient

Ellen Lacter, Ph.D. and Mary Battles, M.F.T.
Advanced
Three presenters, including a psychologist, a marriage & family therapist,
and a ritual abuse survivor, will share their respective clinical and
subjective experiences that have led to their understanding of ritual
abuse as a prevalent problem in Western and other cultures. This workshop
will provide an understanding of ritual abuse practices and dissociative
responses in victims, assessment and recognition of ritual trauma, special
circumstances in provision of therapy, levels of complexity of mind
control, the role of client's spiritual base in this work, and legal
caveats and considerations.
21. Community Based Interventions with Battered Women and their Children
Rebecca Gaba, Ph.D. and Irma Seilicovich, M.A.

hidden from the outside world. Each member of the collaboration helps to
provide services to the victims as part of their team approach to helping
victims move from a place of hopelessness and helplessness to a place of
hope and independence. These approaches will be presented. This workshop

objectives, challenges and benefits of the approach, suggestions for
cross-age debriefing models, and adaptations for work in programs with
high risk and high needs youth.
25. Compassion Fatigue: Helping the Healer
Mary Jo Barrett, M.S.W. and Andrea Hern, M.A.
Intermediate
Clinicians hear the pain and suffering of PTSD, depression, loss or other
traumas daily. They may find themselves feeling used up, burned out or
depleted. Clinicians often suffer from the very symptoms that their
clients are reporting. These symptoms might not come from the clinicians
history but are a result of the very work they are doing. They may not be
caring for themselves in the same way that they care for their clients,
and may begin to suffer from the very symptoms they are attempting to
manage in others. This workshop will help treatment providers recognize
problematic symptoms of "compassion fatigue" they may be experiencing,
and help create solution-focused, personal and professional tasks and
contexts that help alleviate the distress. For this workshop please dress
