2013  Clinical Evening Meeting Series
Staying Clinically Centered in a Constantly Evolving Field


In a profession founded on a commitment to ethical practice, respect for difference, and inherent dignity and worth, the challenges of remaining clinically centered have always been great.


So how do we integrate self, practice, and pragmatics in the quick fix, change measuring, increasingly diverse, and minimally funded world of mental health practice?


Springing from thoughts, questions, and reflections raised by our fall conference, “I Googled You: Staying Clinically Centered in an Online World,” we are pleased to announce a series of conversations with colleagues: entitled, “Staying Clinically Centered in a Constantly Evolving Field.”



MEETING TITLES & DATES:

The Art & Science of our Profession
Tuesday, April 9, 2013
Join us as we close our “season” with a discussion centered on the unique balancing act of our profession: staying clinically centered in a constantly evolving field. How do we integrate the art and science of practice with evolving treatment approaches and orientations, remaining true to self while open to discovery of ourselves as practitioners? How do we continue to be both clinically centered and clinically relevant?



Past Meetings in the series:


Do More with Less, Part 1: Macro 

Wednesday, November 14, 2012

Diminished public and private funding is one of the pressures we currently face in all spheres of practice. How do we stay clinically centered when it is hard to tell what’s happening in the broader sphere? Join us for a discussion about how we

as practitioners stay clinically focused in the onslaught of increasing change in our healthcare provider systems, legislative regulations, and funding streams.


Do More with Less, Part 2: Micro

Tuesday, January 15, 2013

Building on our discussion from Part One, this evening will focus on staying clinically centered, theoretically and ethically, when pressured by constraints of time, money, and overwhelming need. Whatever our practice setting, it is often difficult to feel effective or to determine how to best help our clients when conditions challenge what we might consider “best practice.” And how, as providers, do we factor in our own needs to earn a living?



Finding Depth in a Flatscreen World

Wednesday, February 27, 2013

Our exploration next takes us to question what defines “therapeutic practice” in an environment increasingly focused on economic and personal survival, where often the pull is toward external solutions over personal exploration. How do we cultivate values of introspection, self-care, and personal growth through self-awareness in an increasingly non-reflective, multi-tasking, stack-ranked world?
