Psychoanalytic Brooklyn: Invites you to join us for a continuing education seminar The Frame, Part I
Friday, January 18, 2019, 1:00 to 2:30pm
What do we mean when we talk about the “frame” in psychotherapy or psychoanalysis? How can thinking about the frame more explicitly, and more deeply, enrich our work as clinicians? In this hour-and-a-half workshop – the first in a series of two – we will discuss basic questions relating to the frame.

Join Josh Wolf-Powers, LCSW, and Jules Owen, SJD, advanced candidates at the Psychoanalytic Training Institute of the Contemporary Freudian Society, to explore these important topics.
Jules Owen is a psychotherapist. He was a lawyer and law professor prior to his psychoanalytic training. Continue reading The Frame, Part I at CFS
