Since the "culture wars" began in the 1960's, American politics have been characterized by two sides bitterly and stubbornly locked in a stalemate—liberals on the left, conservatives on the right. Why does it seem impossible to find bi-partisan solutions? Why do both sides seem more entrenched in their worldviews and policy decisions than ever before? For Jonathan Haidt, the only way to understand the modern political landscape is through the lens of morality. Haidt draws on his extensive research in human morality to reach new conclusions about the struggle between conservatives and liberals. The most important differences aren't about political issues—rather, it is each side's respective understanding of morality. With a timely, optimistic message, Haidt cuts through the rhetoric and presents a fascinating and engaging interpretation of modern politics at this crucial moment.

Jonathan Haidt's work focuses on morality and emotion, and how they vary across cultures. Morality, by its very nature, is difficult to study. It binds people together into teams that seek victory, not truth. It closes hearts and minds to opponents even as it makes cooperation and decency possible within groups. In addition to his work on morality, Haidt is also an expert on positive psychology (the scientific study of human flourishing) and studies positive emotions such as moral elevation, admiration, and awe. Haidt is a highly respected and coveted speaker who has appeared at TED. “The Righteous Mind” debuted at #6 on The New York Times' Hardcover Nonfiction Bestseller List. He is also the author of “The Happiness Hypothesis and Flourishing.” Haidt received his B.A. from Yale University, and went on to complete his M.A. and Ph.D. at the University of Pennsylvania.

Saturday Keynote:
The Challenges of Reintegration Following Deployment
with William Brim, Psy.D.
This keynote address is intended to provide civilian mental health providers with an overview of the demographics of military families and the impact of reintegration on the service member and family unit. It will explore the unique experiences that service members and their spouses and children face upon return from deployment.
Saturday Invited Track:
Evidence-Based Treatments for Post-traumatic Stress Disorder
Presented by The Center for Deployment Psychology
Evidence-based treatments for Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) are reviewed so participants become familiar with effective interventions for combat-related trauma. This talk is consistent with Department of Defense and Veterans Affairs guidelines for the treatment of PTSD in military populations. Overviews of Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Prolonged Exposure (PE) therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) are presented. Participants will also be guided to additional resources that will prove useful in working with service members and veterans.
