The Frame, Part I at CFS
By Categories: EVENTS

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. We will define the frame and explore its conceptual purposes and ways that departures from the frame, by patients and clinicians, can be put to valuable clinical use.

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
