WE SUGGEST YOU READ ALL SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS BELOW
BEFORE YOU BEGIN COMPLETING THIS FORM.

Submit one form for each proposal. If you plan to submit more than one proposal, you must submit one complete form for each proposal. Panel or symposia chairs must coordinate all presenter materials and submit on one form. Do not have presenters send separate documents.

Best to print copy of this form first. Because this is an on-line submission which must be completed in its entirety and cannot be recalled for editing, we HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU PRINT OUT A COPY OF THIS FORM AND PREPARE THE REQUESTED CONTENT BEFORE HAND. Once the basic content of your proposal is prepared in a text or word processing document, it can be cut and pasted into the appropriate fields of this on-line form for final submission. Print using the print icon on your browser; if that doesn't work, then select all and copy the form into a blank document and print the document.

Browse and attach Abstract and Vitae. Also, YOU MUST PREPARE YOUR ABSTRACT AND VITAE AND SAVE THEM AS FILES on your computer BEFORE BEGINNING THIS FORM. [Preferred format is MS WORD (.doc), although we can accept text (.txt), rich text format (.rtf), or MS WORKS (.wps) files.] At the end of the form are two fields where you may browse for and attach those files so they may be sent when the form is transmitted.

Scroll and enter data. Please scroll down to enter all personal and presentation information.
Items marked with an asterisk (*) are required.

Review before submitting. We suggest that you carefully review your completed submission prior to pressing the "SUBMIT" button, located at the very bottom of this form. Once you have submitted, you will not be able to retrieve the form for on-line review. If you later decide to make a change to your submission, you must resubmit the proposal in its entirety.

Note: All presenters must register for the conference. Once you submit your presentation, please go to the conference main page and click the registration link. All presenters must register by 1 April 2010 to remain on the program. You may wish to register earlier for greater discounts and room availability.

* Confirmation. Please enter your email address here and a copy of your completed form will be sent to you as confirmation.

     If you do not receive this confirmation within 24 hours, please let us know by sending an email to
    submissions2010@asdreams.org.

     Also, if you do not receive confirmation of acceptance status by mid-February, 2010, please email us
    at the same address.

* Nature of submission. Please specify the nature of this submission: "new" or a "resubmission" to correct or modify a prior submission for this year's conference. If this is a resubmission, it must be complete.

IASD Dreamwork Ethics Statement

All presenters must adhere to the IASD ethics statement. All proposals should reflect educational, ethical, non-intrusive goals and methods, and presenters should not practice therapy nor make impractical claims. Please read the IASD Dreamwork Ethics Statement printed below.

IASD DREAMWORK ETHICS STATEMENT

"IASD celebrates the many benefits of dreamwork, yet recognizes that there are potential risks. IASD supports an approach to dreamwork and dream sharing that respects the dreamer's dignity and integrity, and which recognizes the dreamer as the decision-maker regarding the significance of the dream. Systems of dreamwork that assign authority or knowledge of the dream's meanings to someone other than the dreamer can be misleading, incorrect, and harmful. Ethical dreamwork helps the dreamer work with his/her own dream images, feelings, and associations, and guides the dreamer to more fully experience, appreciate, and understand the dream. Every dream may have multiple meanings, and different techniques may be reasonably employed to touch these multiple layers of significance.

"A dreamer's decision to share or discontinue sharing a dream should always be respected and honored. The dreamer should be forewarned that unexpected issues or emotions may arise in the course of the dreamwork. Information and mutual agreement about the degree of privacy and confidentiality are essential ingredients in creating a safe atmosphere for dream sharing.

"Dreamwork outside a clinical setting is not a substitute for psychotherapy, or other professional treatment, and should not be used as such.

"IASD recognizes and respects that there are many valid and time-honored dreamwork traditions. We invite and welcome the participation of dreamers from all cultures. There are social, cultural, and transpersonal aspects to dream experience. In this statement we do not mean to imply that the only valid approach to dreamwork focuses on the dreamer's personal life. Our purpose is to honor and respect the person of the dreamer as well as the dream itself, regardless of how the relationship between the two may be understood."

Prepared by the IASD Ethics Committee
Carol Warner, Chair
Association for the Study of Dreams
Spring, 1997

In keeping with these broad principles, the Association considers it unethical, at its own conferences and programs, for members to use direct solicitation or persuasion for economic or self aggrandizement. Presenters are expected to be honest and accurate in the communication of their own credentials and competencies.

SPECIAL REQUESTS OR COMMENTS.

Learning objectives and assessments

LEARNING OBJECTIVES.

All proposals -- not just those for CE -- must include learning objectives. These will be used to
(1) evaluate your proposal for content, and
(2) give attendees a basis for evaluating your presentation based on how well you achieved the learning objectives during the presentation.

Please specify three observable and measurable learning objectives, or learning outcomes that clearly describe what the learner will know or be able to do as a result of having attended your presentation. (Limit of 250 characters for each learning objective.)

Crucial charactertistics of learning objectives:
     (1) The learning objectives MUST match the content of your proposal as described in your title, course description, and abstract.
     (2) Learning objectives must use active verbs that indicate what will be taught, demonstrated or experienced during your presentation.

Verbs to consider: identify, summarize, list, describe, differentiate, explain, demonstrate, utilize, analyze, design, select, create, plan, assess, compare, critique.
Verbs to avoid: know, understand, learn, appreciate, become aware of, become familiar with.

Here are some examples of well-written learning objectives using active verbs:

Participants who attend this presentation will be able to:
     1. List three attributes of posttraumatic nightmares.
     2. Compare and contrast the characteristics of night terrors versus nightmares.

EVALUATION QUESTIONS.

Next, please provide three evaluation questions which participants should be able to answer after attending your presentation. These learning assessments should be written in a manner that determines whether participants learned what you planned to teach them. These questions should be based on the stated learning objectives and should be consistent with the title, content, and abstract of your presentation as described in your description and abstract.
(Limit of 250 characters for each evaluation question.)

If at all possible, try to match your evaluation questions with the three learning objectives so that attendees can demonstrate their knowledge of the stated learning objectives.

Here are examples of well-written evaluation questions that are keyed to the learning objectives stated in the example above:

     1. Can you name three key attributes of posttraumatic nightmares?
     2. Are you able to mention two characteristics that differentiate night terrors from nightmares?
     3. Can you describe two techniques that have been shown to be effective with trauma survivors suffering from disturbing nightmares?
