This weeks workshop (March 5th) will be at the Doylestown Hospital Wellness Center (Rt. 611 Doylestown, PA.) at 8:30 Dr. Peter Langman's topic will be "Assessing Youth at Risk for School Violence" Learning objectives include 1. Identify the 3 types of school shooters. 2. Recognize the warning signs of shooters. 3. Contribute to the process of threat assessments. Please comment or ask questions about this workshop topic. Thanks, Dr. Dan
Dr. Langman's talk on violence in the schools was thought provoking. He condensed a lot of research (9 years?) into a 3 hour presentation. Interesting that he said that schools are safer than the home or community for kids. I liked hsi "Typology" for shooters. I could not helb but wonder about high functioning "Aspergers" patients & the similarity with his psychopathic and psychotic types. Any other thoughts?
Sorry to say but our next worksop, featuring Dr. Jeff Bernstein, titled "Effective Interventions for Defieant Behavior in Childen and Adolescents" is sold out. If you are one of the 100 or so lucky participants, you will learn how to work with families to overcome stubborn obstacles and brieng about change in your clients' behavior. If you are not a lucky participant, stay tuned to this "BLOG" for tips on helping families dear with defiant behavior in children and adolescents.
For those lucky enough to attend, I thought that Dr. Jeff Bernstein provided a fun and informative workshop today based on his book "10 Days to a Less Defiant Child." His presentation included his efforts as a therapist and a father. Although he is an "expert" in treating adolescents with ODD, I thought that the strength of his presentation was his authenticity as a person. He established himself as a caring person trying to meet and understand each adolescent at their level, without judgement. He readily admonished himself when "judgement" mistakes occured and processed his thoughts outloud with remarkable transparency. Dr. Bernstein openly acknowledged his own "mistakes" as a parent and a therapist.
I did notice a few people around me reacting to his suggestion that contingincy reinforcement is simply "bribary". Perhaps the behaviorists among use may be willing to share some thoughts?
Dr. Bernstein said that he would check this BLOG for comments. He can be reached at www.DRJEFFONELINE.COM or at Drjeff4help@aol.com.
