Overall Workshop Description: Performance accountability is coming to mental and behavioral healthcare. Providers are expected to collaborate and address the health care needs of patients more efficiently, and the emergence of new reimbursement mechanisms is replacing fee-for-service payment. The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has created multiple initiatives and is promulgating regulations that are evolving swiftly. The shift towards value-based payment may feel unsettling and intrusive to many psychologists. Most psychologists were never trained or expected to track or report outcome data from their personal practices; many have never seen their own outcome data. The question is not whether psychologists will be impacted by performance accountability, but rather how much influence psychologists will have on the process, as it unfolds over the next decade. This, in turn, has implications for professional practice in psychology, such as the increasing demand for quality metrics, and payment reforms.

The goal of this program is to educate psychologists about quality measurement reporting, by reviewing recent federal regulations (i.e., Medicare) and research, with an emphasis on exploring both the potential benefits and challenges for clinicians. The presenters will provide an overview and discuss the history leading up to APA and APAPO’s initiative to develop a Qualified Clinical Data Registry (QCDR), a CMS-approved outcome dataset that will allow practitioners to track quality progress and outcomes on their clients. They will highlight how developing a new QCDR specific to mental and behavioral health care, called the Mental and Behavioral Health Registry (MBHR), will have an impact on professional practice, health care outcomes, clinical research, and training future providers. They will demonstrate the use of the new Mental and Behavioral Health Registry.

At the conclusion of this presentation attendees should be able to : , 1) Describe the benefits and barriers to measuring quality in your professional practice 2) Summarize the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) and apply the relevant aspects of the law to your professional practice 3) Explain the role the Mental and Behavioral Health Registry plays in the future of professional psychological practice and psychological science 4) Assess the impact of anticipated psychotherapy changes on my practice 5) Evaluate and implement measures of patient progress toward treatment goals 6) List the key features of the Mental and Behavioral Health Registry (MBHR) 7) Describe how to use the MBHR in clinical practice 8) Explain the strength of patient report measures 9) Describe applicability to diverse population Presenters: Caroline Vaile Wright, PhD Director of Research and Special Projects American Psychological Association Carol D.

2018 Presidential Task Force Update

NJPA task forces are time-limited and mission related groups that serve the executive board. The president convenes task forces, appoints chairs, and approves members. In 2018, the following task forces are being established to move the association's work forward: Colleague Assistance Task Force - to foster health and wellness in our members and to assist our members in addressing the range of personal difficulties a psychologist might face and identify strategies to address concerns before they impair professional practice; Civility Campaign Task Force - to create a community and culture that navigates multiple perspectives through selfreflection, care, respect, and empathy while acknowledging the culture and humanity of others; Organizational Structure Study Task Force - to review the NJPA organizational structure and leadership development efforts; Licensure Task Force - to facilitate NJPA’s support of the movement towards the 2010 APA Model License Act in New Jersey; RxP Task Force - to gather current information on members' views on RxP, investigate the pros and cons of RxP, and report their findings and recommendations to the executive board and to membership; Integrative Care Task Force - to investigate and develop the integrate care practice model for psychologists in New Jersey.

Virtual Participation

NJPA relies on the great work of volunteers to help us achieve our mission and strategic planning goals and objectives. We want to give all members the ability to be an integral part of the association's important work through involvement with a committee, special interest, or resource group. We realize everyone has hectic schedules and might have travel limitations. Therefore, we introduced technology that makes virtual attendance available to our committees, special interest, and resource groups! Meet fellow members and share your expertise, while giving back to help our association continue to grow! You can read all about our volunteer opportunities on the “Members Only” website page.

The Financial Corner The Balance of Association Income and Expenses

NJPA is a not-for-profit organization that uses its revenue solely in support of the association's objectives and to cover operating expenses. For a not-for-profit, the goal is to have income cover the association’s reasonable and responsible expenses related to fulfilling the mission. Any net gains are put back into the association to fulfill the mission. NJPA is working hard to maintain the balance of income and expenses, with predicted changes in the makeup of membership, non-dues revenue, and rising business expenses.

Income

NJPA receives income to run the association and fulfill our mission from membership dues and non-dues revenue, i.e. continuing education programs and advertising related to our mission. Across the nation, associations are seeing a decrease in association membership. NJPA is working hard to ensure NJPA remains relevant for our existing and prospect members.

Expenses NJPA is a business and has expenses related to our brick and mortar space, employee salaries and benefits, insurance, technology needs (website, event management software, virtual meeting platform), accounting, legal, government affairs, IT consultants, hosting offsite programs (venue rental, AV, and food), and hosting onsite programs and meetings.

(As of 6/30/18) (As of 6/30/18)

Future Financial Considerations

NJPA is currently reviewing the need for additional technology assistance for continuing education administration. We are also reviewing our office space lease that expires in June 2019. We are currently in the process of planning the 2019 budget.

Advocating for You NJPA is committed to strengthening our political outreach and advocating for the interests of NJ psychologists and mental health issues that are important to the public. Over the years, our advocacy has taken many forms. Through our Committee on Legislative Affairs (COLA), Committee on Regulatory Affairs (CORA), and our Government Affairs Agent (GAA), NJPA is instrumental in maintaining standards of psychology practice in NJ, protecting patients rights, and supporting public policy. We monitor state rules and laws that regulate the profession, and maintain a liaison with the NJ Board of Psychological Examiners to stay informed about any changes that may affect our members. As an affiliate of APA, NJPA is involved in federal advocacy initiatives and regularly lobbies for federal issues that affect psychchology.

Research is needed to examine the adequacy of the numbers of mental healthcare providers in insurance company networks, as well as the relationship of in-network reimbursements for psychologists in relation to other types of healthcare providers.

It is essential to ensure that psychologists are included with those healthcare providers who are permitted to define 'medical necessity' for psychological services.

We encourage our members to participate in both Medicare and Medicaid programs to increase access to mental healthcare and we are working to get Medicaid reimbursement for services rendered by psychology interns in supervised settings, such as hospitals and clinics. This will clearly increase access to care.

We are currently undertaking efforts to promote the inclusion of psychologists in integrated healthcare services delivered in hospitals and clinics, as well as in primary care and specialty care medical settings.

Shortage of Mental Health Providers

NJPA believes that our state must re-examine the licensing requirements for psychologists due to the substantial increase in the number of supervised hours most doctoral students must accumulate during their doctoral studies compared to what was required in such programs in the past. Psychology doctoral graduates are still required to complete half of the required hours after graduation even though most students have completed the total number of required hours (or even more) prior to graduation. APA pointed out that this results in delayed licensing for qualified graduates, thereby negatively affecting access to mental healthcare.

NJPA President, Dr. Stephanie Coyne, was recently quoted in an NJBIZ.com article, Dearth of In-Network Psychiatrists Highlights NJ's Mental Health Gaps: “Delaying licensing for qualified graduates thereby negatively affects access to mental health care.” She added. “In addition, access is negatively impacted because of the ‘brain drain’ that results when graduates decide to forego licensing in our state and choose instead to get licensed in other nearby states where the total number of their supervised hours enables them to be licensed more quickly.”

NJ Psychology Political Action Committee (NJP-PAC) NJP-PAC is a voluntary, non-profit political action committee (IRC Section 527) comprised of a board of trustees. Financial contributors include NJPA members, non-member psychologists, their families, and individuals interested in psychology. NJP-PAC is a separate entity, and is not affiliated with any political party or other political committee. The purpose of NJP-PAC is to make contributions, from funds received from NJP-PAC contributors, to candidates for office and political committees in New Jersey who have demonstrated their interest in, and support of, psychology without regard to party affiliation. NJP-PAC solicits funds and distributes them in such a manner as to advance the stature of the profession of psychology in New Jersey. NJP-PAC appoints NJPA members to attend fundraising events to represent the profession of psychology.

Serving the Under-Served: The NJPA Foundation The NJPA Foundation, a charitable, tax exempt 501(c)(3), raises and administers money to deliver psychological services to underserved populations, supports the training of psychology graduate students as clinicians and researchers with an emphasis on treating underserved populations, supports the mission of NJPA, especially in its commitment to diversity, public health, underserved populations, and the training of graduate students in psychology. As the philanthropic arm of NJPA, the Foundation is committed to promoting the psychological health of the diverse people of New Jersey. NJPA and the Foundation are working together to enhance our partnership in order to create joint visibility, to increase member participation, and find a stronger means of support for the Foundation.

The NJPA Foundation Student Conference Participation Grant helps offset some of the costs associated with attending conferences, workshops, and other psychological sessions (including webinars) emphasizing the treatment of underserved populations. Underserved populations might include, but are not limited to:

Year to Date Finances Revenue: $20,017 Conference Participation Grant: $950 Student Papers: $1000 Community Grants (2018-2019): $28,000

• Immigrants and refugees • Inner-city students • Minorities • Children with autism spectrum disorders • Elderly in need Graduate Student Initiated Research Awards: A fundamental component of the New Jersey Psychological Association Foundation’s mission is to support the training of graduate students. One way they meet this goal is by providing funding for student-initiated research and projects addressing psychological issues that have significant impact on community health. Through the generosity of individual contributions, we are able to offer four awards and scholarships for innovative family, school, and community projects. These awards include: • The John M. Lagos Award for Research into Causes and/or Treatment of Social Problems • The NJPA Foundation Award for Research on Diversity Issues • The Dr. Zellig Bach Award for the Study of the Family • The Winifred Starbuck Scott Award Community Service Project Grant: The NJPA Foundation identifies exemplary programs that provide psychological services to those who cannot afford it and trains doctoral students to work with these underserved populations. We invite applications from programs across the state of New Jersey, with the goal of identifying and supporting model programs from each county.

NEW - Foundation Flash

The Foundation Flash highlights our grantmaking efforts in support of programs that train graduate psychology students who are dedicated to working with underserved populations in New Jersey. The Foundation Flash is distributed quarterly to inform NJPA members and the public about our grantmaking efforts and the great work of our supported graduate psychology students. The inaugural issue landed in members' emailboxes in January 2018.

NJPA Fall Conference Schedule Committee on Diversity & Inclusion (CODI) CE Program Engaging Clients Across Cultural Divides: Using the New APA Multicultural Guidelines Presenters: Susan Cohen Esquilin, PhD, Lale Bilginer, PhD, Phyllis Bolling, PhD, Brianna Lee Cox, PsyD, Caridad Moreno, PhD, Morgan Murray, PhD Friday Night 8:00 pm - 9:30 pm 1 CE credit This program will provide an overview of the Multicultural Guidelines: An Ecological Approach to Context, Identity, and lntersectionality, published by APA in 2017. A particular focus will be on the implications of these guidelines for the development of relationships between psychologists and clients, in both assessment and treatment contexts. The presentation will include a discussion of the "layered ecological model" used by the guidelines. There will be a focus on the first two of the ten guidelines that indicate that social identities are "fluid, complex, and dynamic" and exist within ever changing larger social environments. In the context of helping relationships, attention is focused on the self-definition of both the client and helper, how these self-definitions interact with issues of power and privilege, and the need for "cultural humility" by psychologists. There will be an opportunity for selfexploration and small group discussions regarding participants' self-identities and the impact of identity differences between psychologists and clients.

At the conclusion of this presentation, attendees should be able to: 1) Describe the five levels in the layered ecological model used in the guidelines 2) Explain the concept of intersectionality of social identities 3) Analyze how issues power, privilege, and oppression are related to interactions between psychologists and clients with different social identities This program is geared to mental health professionals with an interest in the topic.

Saturday Afternoon Programs 1:30 pm – 4:45 pm 3 CE credits

Integrating the Physiological into a Relationally-Focused Psychotherapy: Theory and Methods Presenter: Joshua Zavin, PhD With Panel Discussion: Drs. Jeannette DeVaris, Maureen J. Gallagher and Daniel N. Watter

This session will present an approach to integrative psychotherapy that places the therapist-client relationship at the center of treatment and focuses on the therapist being ready to fully integrate work at the affective, cognitive, behavioral and physiological levels.

Because many forms of psychotherapy integration emphasize the combining of psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral treatment, a particular emphasis in this afternoon session will be on the value of also integrating work at the somatic level into treatment. Some of the recent research in neuroscience will be discussed as part of understanding the importance of a physiological focus in psychotherapy. Concepts such as "embodied cognition," "embodied self-awareness” and the "polyvagal theory" will be explored. A range of somatically oriented therapy interventions will be presented and discussed, some of which a therapist could use in his or her office regardless of the therapist's primary orientation, and some of which might be referred out as adjunctive therapies. A distinction will be suggested between body-focused work that is primarily aimed at helping the client with containment and self-regulation versus a sense of increased self-awareness, self-expression and enhanced liveliness. Ethical considerations concerning therapy with a bodyfocus will be addressed.

A basic premise behind the proposed integration of work at the affective, cognitive, behavioral and physiological levels is that clients often enter treatment with issues created by some combination of fixed, self-limiting, interacting patterns of emotional expression, distorting cognitive beliefs, maladaptive behaviors, and both chronic and acute physiological responses. These patterns, sometimes viewed as scripts, may develop at any point in the life cycle, but often originate in issues from early childhood attachments conflicts, unmet relational needs and previous traumas. While not all clients have issues in all of these areas, and recognizing that certain specific types of treatment have shown to be most effective with particular clinical issues, we will discuss an approach to psychotherapy integration that focuses on the healing resulting from a therapist's readiness to engage with these four realms through a sensitive inquiry into the client's experience, an attunement to the client at the affective, cognitive, physiological, developmental and rhythmic levels, and a contactful involvement with the client in all of these areas as needed and appropriate. An emphasis in this session will be on use of therapist inquiry, attunement and involvement at the physiological level. Towards the end of this session a case will be presented followed by a panel of psychologists, representing different clinical orientations, offering their view of psychotherapy integration, and including what they might have done differently in the case presented.

At the conclusion of this presentation, attendees should be able to: 1) Discuss the theory behind integrating psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral and psycho-physiological interventions in treatment 2) Explain the scientific rationale for including a psycho-physiological focus in psychotherapy 3) Understand the influence of physiological processes in creating "embodied cognition," and "embodied self-awareness 4) Identify and utilize various somatic interventions in the office 5) Identify useful adjunctive body-oriented therapies and experiences to recommend for clients 6) Include a body-focus when working with clients who have experienced trauma 7) Assess ethical considerations when focusing on the body-level 8) Describe the importance of a sensitive therapist inquiry, attunement and involvement in a relational integrative psychotherapy.

9) Identify and work with five areas for therapist attunement 10) Learn methods of inquiring, attuning, and being involved with the client at the somatic level Identification of Program Level of Learning beyond the Completion of a Doctoral Degree - Intermediate: some basic knowledge of the specific content is required All presenters do not have any commercial support and/or conflict for interest for this program

Afternoon Programs 1:30 pm – 4:45 pm 3 CE

Developments in Psychotherapy Integration: A Relational Perspective Presenter: Kenneth Frank, PhD No single approach, psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, or any other, can fully grasp the complexity of psychological change or address the range of psychotherapeutic needs of patients. This assertion applies to both a cross section of diverse patients, and to individual patients, whose needs shift over time. Hence, we are witnessing a growing trend among psychotherapists to use combined, rather than "pure," psychotherapy methods. We will examine this trend toward "psychotherapy integration," discussing historical factors that have advanced it. After reviewing older ways of approaching psychotherapy integration, we will consider a useful assimilative form of "relational psychotherapy integration." We will examine this newer approach that incorporates several models of therapeutic action and the advantages of multiple therapeutic methods, and seamlessly weaves them into a psychodynamically-based, narrative approach. In articulating this approach, we will discuss important new developments, including those from neuroscience and from body-based therapies and the understandings that inform them. Specifically, we will learn a framework for combining cognitive and cognitive-behavior therapies, body-based (Sensorimotor) psychotherapy, and imagery-based (Internal Family Systems) therapy with a narrative psychodynamic baseline. Case illustrations will be offered. Cite Criterion 12 Accuracy and Utility and APA. This workshop is designed to help you: 1) Describe basis for the distinction between a common factors approach to psychotherapy integration and one attributing therapeutic effects to explicit methods 2) Demonstrate how pluralism and the relational tradition in psychoanalysis have enabled therapists to appreciate psychotherapy integration 3) Analyze why and how a combination of therapies can be more effective than the application of any single one 4) Assess how exposure plays a role in virtually all therapies 5) Explain the meaning and relevance to psychotherapy of neuroplastic memory reconsolidation 6) Discuss the essential difference between "eclectic" and "theoretical” integration 7) Explain how the SIBAM model is a useful concept for understanding and implementing psychotherapy integration 8) Describe the difference between "switching" and "blending" in psychotherapy integration 9) Compare and contrast Therapeutic Action in Analytic (Psychodynamic) therapy, Cognitive Therapy, Cognitive-Behavior Therapy, Internal Family Systems Therapy, and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy

Presenter: Kenneth Frank, PhD Dr. Frank received his doctorate in clinical psychology and later trained and became a certified psychoanalyst. Throughout Dr.Frank’s career, as a professor, supervisor, and training analyst, he continued to study newer methods. Dr. Frank sees treatment as a joint discovery of the best approach for each individual. Grounded in psychoanalytic understanding, his clinical approach is centered on psychotherapy integration, which draws on several established treatment approaches. Dr. Frank use these approaches singly or in combination. Using psychoanalytic methods for clarifying the role of the past and underlying motivations, he further employ cognitive-behavioral therapy to help people move ahead by addressing problem behaviors involved in many psychological difficulties. He draws on Focusing and other therapies to weave in experiential components that foster change by enabling people to directly sense their issues in the moment. Above all, he is dedicated to helping people. Intellectual preparedness for that task and scholarly expression are also extremely important to Dr. Frank.
