When Treatment Gets Stuck:
Assessing and Addressing
Treatment Interfering Factors

We are pleased to welcome back Joseph Springer, Ph.D. at our next quarterly meeting as an encore presenter.

Dr. Joseph Springer is a licensed psychologist with a private practice in Manasquan, N.J. which focuses on the cognitive behavioral therapy of anxiety disorders. He is presently an Associate Professor of Psychology and the Director of the graduate program in Counseling Psychology at Georgian Court College in Lakewood, NJ. He is a Behavior Therapy Training Institute graduate (the training arm of the International OCD Foundation).

Dr. Springer writes about his upcoming presentation: "It is not unusual for treatment to become stuck, with a lack of progress towards therapeutic goals that frustrate both the consumer and clinician. This presentation is designed to help those involved in treatment identify Treatment Interfering Factors (TIFs) and develop a plan of action to 'recalculate' a course correction in order to get back on track."

Join us for what we expect will be an informative and helpful presentation. Remember, these meetings are designed for both professionals and consumers, so presentations are geared towards the needs of both groups. Hope you can make it!
