Understanding Current Trends in Modern Parenting and The Implications for Children and Families Seeking Therapy
Becca Ballinger, Psy.D.
Trends in Modern Parenting research over the past several decades can be summarized into four major themes: the changing demographic of the Modern Family (a traditional family structure vs. a nontraditional family structure), a shift in the quantity and quality of time spent between parent and child, the influence of social and technological advances that permeates the attention of modern kids, and the increase in adolescent mental health disorders.
The purpose of this presentation is to examine and summarize these themes and to provide specific examples for mental health professionals of how to address these trends within the therapeutic context. Change doesn’t have to be an alarm bell for the demise of the Modern Family. With further understanding of current Modern Parenting trends, the future of the Modern Family will be a healthy and positive one.

President's Message:
Welcome to the New Year 2020. I believe this is going to be a great year, a year where we as therapists can make a big difference with the populations that we serve, wherever we serve them. We have many great trainings coming up this year, including a Law and Ethics seminar that addresses this digital age in a very specific way. With the world changing so fast, I think this training is more important than ever. I would suggest registering as soon as possible for this training, as the rate for members is going up again tomorrow, and as I expect it to be sold out and possibly the very reason that we may outgrow our current location. Growth is a good thing.
In the meantime, please sign up for our wonderful topic in January, "Understanding Current Trends in Modern Parenting and the Implications for Children and Families Seeking Therapy." Be on the watch for videos that interview our speakers and please share them with your local Facebook groups as well as those therapist groups that may benefit from learning about our speakers. As there are so many social media forums: Instagram, Twitter, Twitch, Linked-In, Pinterest, etc. please do not hesitate to share our links in the media with which you are most comfortable. We at IE-CAMFT look forward to growth in this coming year. Please invite your clinical friends, We are not limited to MFTs, but also welcome CSWs as well as PCCs.to join an organization that is passionate about teaching, networking, and supporting our fellow clinicians.
Welcome to 2020. Let’s make this a great year!
Carol Adkisson, LMFT
President, IE-CAMFT

At Our Last Meeting:
At the Intersection of Depth Psychology & Self Care: An Alternate New Lens on Motivational Interviewing
Dr. Maxine Langdon Starr
Participants were able to further understand and have greater sophistication about the bridge between these three main ideas of Hermeneutics, Depth Psychology, and Self Care; and how these ideas inform the principles of Motivational Interviewing; which were expanded upon during the initial presentation and experienced in a workshop style discussion later on. This then impacted their overall professional growth in how they will interact with their clients and how they will reflect upon these concepts as they relate through their own development and experiential lenses. Bio:
Dr. Starr has been licensed since 2012 as an MFT in California. She received her Ph.D. in Depth Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute in 2016. She has been in private practice since 2011, and specializes in working with adolescents, young adults, and women’s issues; including treating issues relating to self-care, self-esteem, and stress. She works full time within the school district’s Special Education Department as an Educationally Related Mental Health Therapist and is an adjunct professor at several universities in the Southern CA area teaching courses for future MFTs, and in programs of ABA, School Counseling, and School Psychology.
