This seminar is intended for social work clinicians and others doing community-based client work. Our intention is to introduce basic psychodynamic concepts that support front-line work, develop thinking, and facilitate resilience. Qualified participants include graduate students and pre-licensed clinicians.

Each week, we’ll suggest readings, podcasts, and other source material that will serve as the basis for a didactic presentation related to our topic.  We encourage each of you to consider salient clinical experiences and bring case vignettes related to the topics to generate deeper discussion.

Readers Fee

Charges for reading material required for the seminars are not included in tuition. They are based upon copyright laws and change based on the content of the readers. The charges will be billed to you separately. Please submit your registration two weeks in advance in order to receive reading materials before the course starting date.
