Religious Trauma and Black Families: Considerations for Mental Health Providers

This seminar explores the complex interplay between religious trauma and Black families within the context of mental health. Through a comprehensive examination of religious trauma, participants will gain a deeper understanding of its definition, contributing factors, and unique manifestations within Black communities. Special attention will be given to the intersectionality of religion and culture, illuminating the ways in which religious trauma impacts cultural identities and beliefs within Black families. The seminar will equip mental health clinicians with culturally competent assessment techniques, intervention strategies, and ethical considerations for effectively addressing religious trauma in their clinical practice.

Drawing on case studies and clinical vignettes, participants will engage in interactive discussions to analyze the application of course concepts to real-world scenarios. Through collaborative exploration and reflection, attendees will learn to navigate the complexities of working with Black families experiencing religious trauma, fostering culturally sensitive and empowering therapeutic relationships. By the conclusion of the seminar, participants will be equipped with practical tools and insights to enhance their clinical practice and better support the mental health needs of Black individuals and families impacted by religious trauma.

1:45 PM - 4:45 PM EST

Understanding Chronic Pain: The Mind-Body Connection

Historically, health care practitioners have treated pain as a sensory experience occurring in the body. Fortunately, over time, a more comprehensive vision of pain has emerged centering the pain in the brain, as a mind-body phenomenon. 

This workshop will provide an understanding of how intricately pain is linked to the psyche. We will demonstrate ways of evaluating and treating pain using our knowledge of psychology, psychotherapy and neuroscience. 

(Trainer Robin S. Cohen, PhD, PsyD received her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from UCLA. Dr. Cohen completed an internship at the UCLA Neuropsychiatric Institute, specializing in Medical Psychology and trained in Hypnosis. In 1998, she received a Psy.D. from the Institute of Contemporary Psychoanalysis (ICP). Dr. Cohen is currently a Training and Supervising Analyst at ICP, as well as past President of the ICP Board of Directors.  Additionally she is an Assistant Clinical Professor in the Department of Psychiatry of UCLA, involved in clinical training. 

Dr. Cohen’s focus is contemporary relational psychoanalytic approaches, object-relations, trauma focused psychotherapy, the relationship between the mind, the body and the brain, and mindfulness approaches.)
