    Description

    This workshop serves as a follow up to Dr. Hong’s workshop, Practical CBT interventions from a neurodiversity perspective, which focused on highlighting the clinical implications of shifting from a deficits model to a neurodiversity framework. In this workshop, Dr. Hong will take a deeper dive into interventions for problems frequently seen in clinical practice and expand the discussion to include other difficulties under the neurodiversity umbrella (e.g., ADHD). Using clinical examples, she will walk through the ways neurodiversity-related differences can completely shift formulations of maladaptive or unwanted behaviors and how not including neurodiversity factors in the treatment plan can lead to poor progress and, at times, harmful outcomes. She then will present concrete steps for developing formulations that include neurodiversity-related differences and interventions based on the formulation. Problem areas included in the presentation will partly depend on registrants’ shared preferences. Please complete this short survey to help determine the focus.

    Possible areas of focus:

    • Describing contexts when benefits of exposure therapy are limited, and ways to set up effective exposures.

    • Identifying and working with sensory sensitivities, particularly in the context of OCD-like behaviors

    • Targeting poor motivation and engagement in the context of demand avoidance; the paradoxical effects of time pressure and increasing behavioral consequences

    • Targeting ADHD-related perfectionism in the context of executive functioning challenges

    • Identifying when the goal should no longer be tolerating uncertainty; developing alternatives to increase flexibility and reduce avoidance.

    • Understanding and working with the overlaps among high cognitive abilities (i.e., giftedness) and autism and ADHD

    In the context of all treatment areas discussed, Dr. Hong will provide strategies on how to work with loved ones to expand their understanding of neurodiversity-related differences and how to work with patients on managing the pain of holding an (often invisible) minoritized identity in a neurotypical world. The workshop will be filled with real-world clinical examples, personal stories, and concrete applications to help support the learning.

    Learning Objectives:

    1. Attendees will be able to identify at least two ways existing CBT formulations for a clinical problem may be limited for neurodiverse individuals.

    2. Attendees will be able to adapt a case formulation to include neurodiversity factors and identify at least 2 ways including neurodiversity factors can change the treatment plan.

    3. Attendees will learn at least 2 ways to explain neurodiversity related differences to loved ones and at least 2 ways to help neurodiverse individuals accept and advocate for their differences.

    Presenter


    Dr. Janie Hong (she/her) is a Clinical Associate Professor, Associate Training Director of the Adult Clinical Psychology Postdoctoral Fellowship program, and Director of the Anxiety and Depression Adult Psychological Treatment (ADAPT) Clinic at Stanford University School of Medicine. The ADAPT Clinic is the largest psychotherapy-focused clinic at Stanford and houses three large clinical programs, which include evidence-based care for mood and anxiety disorders, OCD and its related disorders, and neurodiverse individuals (ADHD program, ASD program). At Stanford, she leads clinical and trainee programming and oversees care within the ADAPT Clinic, supervises and teaches postdoctoral fellows and psychiatry residents, and provides individual patient care within the neurodiversity program. She is also a founding partner at the Redwood Center for Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Research, where she maintains a small private practice.

    Dr. Hong’s research and clinical work has focused on expanding our templates of mental health to include diverse populations. At the start of her career, she focused on the ways a person’s ethnic and/or cultural background shapes beliefs and behaviors. Over time in her practice, she has found her work with culturally diverse individuals also applies to neurodiverse individuals and those with other diverse identities. She is deeply committed to helping diverse individuals articulate how they may differ from prevailing behavioral and emotional norms, teaching them skills to work within these norms and showing them ways to advocate for their differences.
