DINNER VENUE
The Repulse Bay residential community and The Verandah Restaurant are built on the former site of Hong Kongs famous Repulse Bay Hotel (1920 -1982). In its 62-year history, the hotel was the centre of charm, chic and the Charleston. Not only was it a popular holiday spot for locals who enjoyed the drive out to the beach on weekends, it was also a favourite haunt for expatriates working in the Far East and a choice destination for international travellers. Royalty and celebrities found refuge at the hotel including writers George Bernard Shaw and Noel Coward. Actor Marlon Brando was a guest in the 1950s. Spains Crown Prince Juan Carlos and Crown Princess Sofia spent their honeymoon here while other royal guests included Prince Axel of Denmark and Prince Peter of Greece.The hotel was immortalised in the Hollywood classic Love Is A Many Splendored Thing and the Oscar-winning Coming Home which was partly filmed in the hotels Reading Room. During filming, hotel guests mingled with Peter Sellers at the Sunday Buffet or caught glimpses of William Holden lounging by the old fountain in the garden. The Repulse Bay residential community that today stands in place of the hotel continues to be an oasis of tranquility and nostalgia, offering a style and level of service that are reminiscent of a bygone era.

WORKSHOP 1

Addressing memory and dissociation in forensic practice

Albert Drukteinis This practical interactive workshop will focus on case examples in forensic psychiatry practice where memory and dissociative issues arise. Vignettes of criminal and civil cases will be presented by the moderator, who will raise questions for discussion by the audience. Both procedural and substantive concerns that face forensic psychiatrists will be reviewed.

WORKSHOP 2
9.30am - 5.30pm

Evaluating amnesia claims: Forensic focus on forgetting

Charles Scott Amnesia claims are common in both civil and criminal litigation. However, structured assessment approaches are often absent or lacking in assessments of claimed amnesia. This presentation will provide an overview of how memories develop and how memories may become contaminated over time. Subtypes of memory and various categories of claimed amnesia will be discussed. Memory impairment associated with various common psychiatric disorders will be reviewed to include impaired memory recall resulting from psychosis. The relationship of alcohol and other substance use to memory impairment will be reviewed. Specific interview and psychological testing methods to assess potential memory loss will be emphasized. Particular attention will be given to the assessment of malingered amnesia to include such evaluation strategies known as the floor effect, forced-choice memory paradigms, atypical response patterns, and validity indicators on psychological testing. Specific training will be provided on the administration of commonly used assessment tools. Case vignettes illustrating key concepts when evaluating memory complaints will be utilized to facilitate interactive audience participation. Case examples will include both civil and criminal claims of amnesia to include lack of memory for reported criminal behavior, impaired victim memory due to alleged date rape drug administration, Posttraumatic stress disorder memory impairment, and memory issues related to an alleged head injury. Specific recommendations regarding report writing and courtroom testimony will be provided. In addition, common cross examination questions and techniques will be illustrated in a mock trial question and answer exercise.

Friday 7 September
WORKSHOP 3
9.00am - 5.00pm

PART 1: Assessing and managing complex patients: Lessons learned and future directions

Paul Mullen and James Ogloff Over the past three decades considerable advances have been made in assessing and managing general psychiatric patients, forensic psychiatric patients, and offenders (with and without mental illnesses). For most people, this means that they can be validly assessed and treated to help ensure their enhanced well-being and their reduced risk of harm to others. In this workshop, basic elements for successful assessment and management of patients will be outlined. Unfortunately, complex patients those with significant mental illness, intellectual disability, substance misuse, personality pathology and/or problem behaviours present real challenges that often render our approaches futile. Drawing on research, as well as case studies and experiences from the presenters work, strategies will be outlined that can assist with the valid assessment and effective treatment/management of difficult and complex cases. Importantly, distinctions will also be noted where matters fall outside the purview of mental health professionals. In this workshop, the presenters will encourage participants to share their own frustrations and successes to facilitate discussion and learning. The workshop will conclude with the identification of areas that require further research and skills development.
