“SoulCollage as a Tool in Clinical Practice”
The Rockland Chapter of the
New York State Society for Clinical Social Work
Invites You to an Educational Presentation:
“SoulCollage as a Tool in Clinical Practice”
By Cynthia Shaw, MA
Sunday, May 15, 2011
-SoulCollage® is a unique and therapeutic expressive arts process which uses the art form of collage to illuminate all facets of one’s self.
-In working with clients, we can use this fun and intuitive process to assist them in bringing to light what may be beyond work.
-Due to solely using images and no words, Soul Collage® cards have a way of bypassing the left brain and can deepen a clients understanding of parts of themselves and then can help them with interpretation, which holds deep personal meaning.
-This “lecture” will be your own personal time to experience SoulCollage®! This will be a fully experiential “workshop”….so come ready to cut and glue. Absolutely no artistic experience necessary, just an open, curious and adventurous mind!
Cynthia Shaw is a professional New York State licensed mental health counselor with 20 years of experience. Her private practice is located in Nyack and she has done much work in the fields of Reproductive Mental Health and women’s issues.
Cynthia is also an artist and has for many years attended workshops and classes on bringing creativity into the therapeutic setting. In 200, she became a trained SoulCollage® facilitator.
Lecture will be help in the McNelis Commons Conference Room at St. Thomas Aquinas College.
10am: Board Meeting
11am: Clinical Case Discussions
12pm: Lunch (included)
12:15pm – 1:30: Educational Presentation
$15 for Non-Members. Checks can be made to NYSSCSW, Inc. for payment at the door.

Rockland Chapter, NYS Society for Clinical Social Work Presents:
4 CEU’s CONFERENCE - DAY TRAINING
Part 1. Treating Self-Injuring and Self-Harming Patients
Part 2. Working with the New DSM V
Presenter : Dr Patrick DeChello, PhD, LCSW, MDW, RPH
Sunday, March 20, 2011, 10:00am - 3:15pm
(Continental Breakfast and Lunch Included)
Romano Student Center at St Thomas Aquinas College
125 Route 340, Sparkill, NY 10976
Description Part 1: Often called the new age Anorexia, self-injury is a silent epidemic and it is more than a maladaptive coping mechanism. Self-injury is also a drug and it is as addictive as any drug of abuse It does to the brain in a second what it takes weeks or a month to do with medication. Self-injury is an attempt to prevent suicide by refocusing through pain and it is a way to deal with overwhelming feelings in an attempt to stay alive.
Clinicians will learn the best approaches in dealing with the families of those that self-injure. They will learn cutting edge information as to the nature, purpose, etiology and treatments for self-injurious patients based on Dr DeChello’s book “Understanding Self-Injury.”
Description Part 2: The DSM V promises to be the greatest change in diagnosis since the DSM III. Moving from diagnostic classifications based on differential diagnoses to the use of dimensional descriptors to clarify diagnosis based on empirical research could well change psychiatry and mental health as we have known it. An overview of the upcoming DSM V and the known changes being made to it will be presented.
Our Speaker: Patrick DeChello, PH D, LCSW, MSW, RPH is an internationally recognized clinical social worker, clinical psychologist, hypnotherapist and chemical dependency treatment specialist with well over 30 years of experience and author of 20 books and numerous articles in the mental health and chemical dependency fields. His books and presentations have a reputation for being clear, humorous, pragmatic and cutting edge. His clinical skills and vast knowledge base make both his writings and presentations enjoyable and highly educational.

A dangerous affair ignites, resulting in more than one broken heart – including that of Fleming's loyal wife, Ingrid (Miranda Richardson).
