ABOUT THIS EVENT
This presentation will outline the forces and factors, from within and without our field, that are shaping the mental health landscape and contributing to the diminished understanding and appreciation of relational, depth therapies. Misunderstandings among the public and policymakers about efficacy and “gold standard” treatments are common, and new technology apps and companies are redefining what therapy is at scale. From the insurance industry, to venture capital and private equity, to the educational system training therapists and the fragmentation of our field, there are many ways in which the work we do is threatened.
This presentation will outline these factors, helping therapists know what they can do to protect and advance their work. It will set the stage for the subsequent, upcoming webinars in coming months.
ABOUT THE PsiAN SERIES
In these last few years, we have witnessed unprecedented upheaval in the areas of politics, social justice, the natural world, and public health. Alongside these national and global challenges, we are amid a mental health crisis with decreasing access to psychotherapy. It is vitally important in order for our practices and communities to thrive to be informed about how depth therapies can help, what people are looking for in mental health treatment, and how we can support and protect the work we do, while making it more accessible to more people.
Prevailing myths and misconceptions regarding mental health and psychotherapy that either clinicians or the public hold need to be challenged, as they limit our capacity to help more people in more circumstances and often steer the public, including marginalized communities, towards a reduced set of options.
Many of these areas are not addressed in undergraduate and graduate education, and therapists often start practicing without a greater understanding and appreciation of these issues and the very real ways in which they can impact and impede our work.
This webinar series will help students and therapists at all career stages develop a greater understanding of the mental health landscape, and how they can protect and advance the work they do.
