Adolescent Upheaval: Contemporary Clinical Issues in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy with Adolescents
Adolescents are experiencing unprecedented amounts of emotional turmoil. In addition to the expected crises of adolescence, today’s adolescents have experienced isolation during the pandemic, mass shootings in schools, social unrest after the murder of George Floyd and ongoing challenges to equal rights. More than ever, adolescents need psychotherapy to help them process their complicated social environment and their personal experiences and feelings.
The William Alanson White Institute is offering a timely and unique program for clinicians of all levels of experience starting in January 2023. The program is focused on expanding and deepening the clinician’s experience of working with adolescents within an Interpersonal and Relational framework. Each month, different distinguished senior faculty will present on a variety of contemporary clinical topics and case material. This program is designed to enhance participants’ clinical skills and intellectual understanding of psychodynamic psychotherapy with adolescents.
