About This Event
We appreciate your interest in the Latinx workshop, the registration is now closed. If you want to be added to our waiting list, please e-mail esmith@icsw.edu.
The Institute for Clinical Social Work is pleased to announce the formation of a psychodynamic clinical consultation group for Latinx therapists, with regular meetings beginning in October. This group will create a space for licensed psychodynamic (or those interested in psychodynamic and psychoanalytic theory) Latinx therapists to discuss clinical material. The group will focus on contemporary articles focusing on how colonial mentality, racism, culture, language, and immigration shape our internal worlds, as well as those of our patients.
Our clinical consultation group was created to provide a network of mutual support for Latinx therapists, led by two of ICSW’s esteemed faculty members, who are each experts in their field.
Latinx therapists face unique challenges in their clinical practice, arising from both systemic issues and the specific needs of the communities they serve — from cultural representation to language barriers to systemic racism and discrimination. Guided by the insights of psychodynamic theory and readings, this group offers candid conversation, culturally relevant training, and engagement with diverse therapeutic literature.
As a participant, you will:
- Learn how race, class, political, economic and sociocultural factors contribute to your patients’ suffering
- Learn how to identify your own racial biases and how these biases impact your work with patients
- Understand the importance of psychodynamic thinking for diverse clinical settings
Presenters: Merari Fernandez, PhD, LCSW and Ida Roldan, PhD, LCSW
Course Schedule: Wednesday, October 2, 2024, to June 2025 (13.5 hours)
Where: One meeting per month (VIA Zoom)
Time: 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm CST
Apply by September 18, 2024
Cost: $450 per person
CEUs are available for licensed Social Workers and Psychologists.
