A one-day workshop sponsored by the School of Social Work at Syracuse University’s College of Human Services and Health Professions will focus on difficulties faced by therapists and patients during counseling and psychotherapy. The workshop will be held January 17 in the Goldstein Student Center on SU’s South Campus. Registration deadline for the workshop is January 15. Fees range from $50 to $75. For more information contact Claire Rudolph at 315-443-5583 or Kathy Van at 315-443-5550.
The workshop will examine issues such as the push for briefer treatments, the constraints of managed care systems, and the need for individuals and families to hold on to symptoms. It will also look at how to handle crises and choose between the needs of the patient and those of the institution. The workshop will use film segments, in addition to group and full workshop discussions, to focus on issues raised.
The main presenters at the workshop will be William R. McPeak, Ph.D., CSW, and Douglas J. Scaturo, Ph.D.
