Description: This course will use recent research, personal experience, and a firm theoretical base to establish a position statement on technology in psychotherapy relative to long term individual and group psychotherapy. We will examine the force of “cognitive dissonance” on our choices and try to rule out its prejudice. We will work to define what psychotherapy really is, and then to determined the helpful or hindering features that technology offers.

Description: It is generally held that values and beliefs do not belong in the clinical setting. Yet no clinician practices in the absence of either. Societally speaking, much of our most significant trouble with crime, substance abuse, underachieving, underperforming and the failure in raising responsible, productive youth stems from widespread lack of character education and the exercise of a “fathering” influence. Though very common, the ways by which basic values are eroded in families and communities are often insidious and often missed. This seminar focuses on recognizing those instances in our work with patients where clinicians can help educate, model and guide patients in “fathering” themselves and others. Through the use of clinical vignettes provided first by the presenters and then by participants, the opportunities for clinical intervention will be discussed. Various texts will be used as a backdrop for discussion.
