Presented by Northern Ohio Clinical Social Work Society and co-sponsored by Jung Cleveland.
Opportunity
With a new twist, David Wallin, Ph.D., takes attachment therapy from its niche in the parent-child relationship and applies it to the process happening between psychotherapist and patient. Because we are the tools of our trade, our own attachment patterns strongly influence our effectiveness as therapists. Rather than our own techniques, it is who we are that ultimately determines our capacity to create with our passions a genuinely therapeutic relationship. Dr. Wallin is a lively and engaging speaker who combines a scholarly perspective with vivid case materials and videos as he explores with us how mindfulness of our own attachment patterns in the therapist-patient relationship can lead to new opportunities and insights for both patient and therapist.
Dr. Wallin's workshop, We Are The Tools of Our Trade: How the Therapist's Own Attachment Patterns Shape Therapy, will be sponsored by the Northern Ohio Clinical Social Work Society on Saturday, April 27, from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. It provides 6 CEU's for social workers, professional counselors and psychologists.
