Caregiver Family Therapy: An Integrative Intervention for Family Caregivers
o Live-webcast - November 7, 2014, 1-4 pm
o Oftentimes, caregivers experience increased burden and distress while the care recipient
struggles to adapt. This impact reverberates throughout the family. Psychologists can
help families address the challenges and opportunities of caregiving, and navigate the
transitions. CFT offers a systemic approach to intervention that integrates many evidence
based approaches within a structured model. Clinicians use key questions to help families
to tailor interventions that guide families through difficult decisions, changes in roles, and
more effectiveness within the healthcare system. Clinical cases are used throughout this
workshop to illustrate the tools and strategies that help family systems adapt.
 Learning Objective 1
Describe how stages of caregiving influence focus of assessment and intervention.
 Learning Objective 2
Discuss how the CFT model guides families to address caregiving challenges.
 Learning Objective 3
Identify strategies that can change in families that are stuck.
 Presenter: Sara Honn Qualls, PhD

Promoting Successful and Healthy Adult Development and Aging, Live-webcast - June 27,
2014, 1-4 pm ET
o This workshop will focus on what clinicians should know about the promotion of
successful and healthy adult development and aging. Because clinicians are in their dayto-day work mostly exposed to the “dark side” of the human aging process, the workshop
will highlight that the majority of adults actually grow old without major physical or
psychological impairments. In terms of optimizing successful and healthy aging, the
workshop will focus on three major behavioral domains: (1) physical activity and its
effect on physical and cognitive health; (2) cognitive abilities and the role of engagement
in the maintenance of cognitive functioning; and (3) social/interpersonal relationships and
their relevance for health and well-being.
 Learning Objective 1
Identify the key concepts of adult development and aging.
 Learning Objective 2
Identify the main empirical findings in the physical health, cognitive health, and
psychosocial domain showing that successful and healthy aging can be achieved.
 Learning Objective 3
Explain how to incorporate the key elements from the workshop into their clinical
work.
 Presenter: Manfred Diehl, PhD
