Predictably Irrational
with Dan Ariely, PhD
Human behavior can be unpredictable even in the most predictable circumstances. This lecture will describe general principles of human irrationality, and will shed light on how these principles can make irrationality predictable and explainable. We will work through some examples and applications of these principles.
And
Bringing Positive Emotions to the Aid of the Mind and the Economy
with George Vaillant, MD
This lecture will raise the consciousness of the role of positive emotions in combating depression during these adverse economic circumstances. Despite what many of us think, happiness has very little to do with money.
Workshop for Mental Health Professionals
2-5pm
Involuntary Coping Mechanisms
with George Vaillant, MD
Are we compelled to repeat the past? This lecture will present examples of everyday crises and apply Freud's concept of unconscious defense mechanisms to them, thus gaining a better understanding of how to reckon with the unconscious forces which influence our lives. Workshop details

Dr. Kudler is the coordinator for mental health services for a three-state network of the Department of Veteran Affairs.

Dr. Kudler serves on the Advisory board for the Talk, Listen, Connect initiative project and has presented this program throughout North Carolina. This initiative provides support and offers significant resources for military families with young children experiencing the comings and goings associated with deployment or the return of a parent with visible or invisible injuries including Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, Traumatic Brain Injury and/or Major Depression.
On Wednesday, April 1, 2009 UNC-TV (PBS) will air Coming Home: Military Families Cope with Change at 7:30pm (ET) featuring beloved Sesame Street characters Elmo and Rosita along with Queen Latifah and John Mayer.
