There is no charge to participate in this session, but pre-registration is required.

An integrated and applied therapeutic approach of the core concepts of Dr. Steven C. Hayes' Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dr. Viktor Frankl's Logotherapy can help us clarify and provide direction in answering two very important questions: "What kind of person do I aspire to be?" and " What kind of life do I aspire to live?"

With clarity and direction in answering these questions we deepen our capacity to experience wonder and gratitude, as well as finding the strength to deal with painful/difficult life circumstances.

Tom Lavin, MFT, LCADC, is a psychotherapist and adjunct faculty at the University of Nevada, Reno School of Medicine in the psychiatry and behavioral sciences department.

  • 1) Describe the importance of identifying a deep personal value and combining that with "Nike Therapy.”

    2) Identify the 3 ways, according to Dr. Frankl, that people experience meaning in their lives.

    3) Describe the meaning of Dr. Frankl's assertion that we'll never be happy if we're trying to make ourselves happy-that happiness is a by-product of living a meaningful life.

    4) Enhance ethical care to patients by integrating ACT & Logotherapy tools to reduce burnout and improve resiliency.
