Title: Narrative Group Therapy with Children with Depressive Symptoms Lecture

Presenter: ALEJANDRA TRUJILLO

Description: Alejandra Trujillo, will present a lecture-style workshop titled Cognitive Behavioral/Narrative Treatment for Children with Depressive Symptoms. In her presentation, Trujillo will outline an approach she developed, published, and piloted in Mexico. Quite successful, the group treatment has been enhanced and adapted for the U.S. population, and will be introduced in America in the near future.

Attendees will learn about the theoretical model that provides structure for the group, the 31 techniques that constitute the treatment, and the sequencing of the group techniques to clusters, such as affective education, relaxation training, problem solving, and social skills training. In addition, Trujillo will help attendees understand the general principles for designing a psycho-educational group and shine light on cultural issues and research outcomes to be considered when implementing such groups.

At present, she is completing her master’s degree in counseling with a specialization in marriage and family therapy at California State University, Northridge (expected graduation, December 2011). While at CSUN, Alejandra has worked with Diane Gehart, PhD, with whom she is co-authoring the Instructor’s Manual for Theory and Treatment Planning in Counseling and Psychotherapy.

CalSouthern University is pleased to host Dr. Ana Nogales for a special event presentation. We invite all current and prospective Students, Graduates and Mentors of CalSouthern to join us for this exclusive Master Lecture Series event.

The Parents Who Cheat Workshop will explore how children and adult children are impacted by their parents' infidelity, a topic that largely has been ignored in both the mainstream media and professional literature. Dr. Ana Nogales will present the findings of her Parents Who Cheat Survey, which includes the responses of nearly 1,000 adult children whose parents were unfaithful. Workshop participants will learn about the six core responses to parental infidelity: loss of trust; shame; confusion about the meaning of marriage; anger and ambivalence toward the betraying parent; resentment toward the betrayed parent; and "acting out." Gender differences with regard to a child or adult child's responses to parental infidelity will also be explored.
