Kohn The paper offers an original description of Balint Group methodology and its relevance for training psychiatrists. Central is the understanding that the psychiatrist presents his clinical problem with the patient. Making the doctor’s counter-transference central to the process moves it away from being supervision i.e., the technical acquisition of skills. This is key for Balint, for whom acquiring psychodynamics “entails a limited, though considerable change in the doctor’s personality.” This paper is a tribute to developing Balint’s ideas and offering graphic vignettes of the difficulty and value of working with psychiatrists in this way. The author is a Training and Supervising analyst at the British Psychoanalytical Society. Audio CDs: 1 | | Audio CD | | $15.00 | | $15.00 | |

Moderator: John Thomas, Director of Community Assistance and Research, Office of Sustainable Communities, U.S. EPA (3.5 hour session) The impact of various smart growth strategies on the transportation system and the dynamics of how these strategies may influence other strategies are not easily understood. Current tools to address this need are either quite detailed and complex (parcel-level, integrated land use and travel models) or quite simple (application of elasticities for specific strategies). The Smart Growth Area Planning (SmartGAP) is a strategic planning tool that simulates individual travel behavior in response to smart growth strategies at a regional scale. The session is conducted in two parts: an overview of scenario planning and presentations on smart growth area planning tools and resources, and three breakout groups to discuss case studies for Atlanta, Maryland and Olympia. Learn how to develop the data needed by the tools, how to develop smart growth strategies for testing, and how to interpret the results for planning purposes.
