Psychoanalytic Brooklyn: Invites you to join us for a continuing education seminar Beginning Treatment
November 30, 2018 4:00 to 5:30pm

A new patient enters our office for a consultation. Something has occurred to prompt their visit. Perhaps they are feeling anxious, dealing with a loss, or confronting an unmanageable interpersonal or work situation. How do we mobilize clinical understanding and empathy? How do we facilitate the beginnings of a therapeutic relationship capable of bringing about meaningful change? Any practicing clinician will have questions, thoughts about which way to go; moments of uncertainly about what to address, what to leave alone for now. This forum will provide an opportunity to raise and think about these questions

Join Ann Rudovsky, a Training and Supervising analyst at the Contemporary Freudian Society to explore this important topic. Participants are invited to bring case examples to discuss.
