A nomenclator was a slave whose duty was to accompanying his master in canvassing the streets of Classical Rome in order to recall the names of those his master encountered. Each of us is, in a way, both that ancient politician and that slave, relying on others’ memories to supply us with knowledge, and others relying on us for the knowledge we recall for them. Hence, knowledge has always been, in part, a distributive entity, requiring a delegation of mental tasks, an implicit commitment to a social contract.

As psychiatric medications have come more and more into everyday use, psychotherapists need to have an understanding of the basic principles of psychopharmacology and the uses and problems associated with the more commonly prescribed medications. The goals of this workshop are twofold: to increase the comfort level of LMSW and LCSW practitioners in working collaboratively with psychiatrists regarding medication management; and to help them guide their clients through the referral, consultation and medication management process. Psychodynamic and practical issues related to the collaborative treatment process and the giving and receiving of psychiatric medications will be integral to the course. A combination of lectures and sharing of clinical experiences will be used to achieve these goals. Continue reading Psychopharmacology for Psychotherapists with Jeffrey Rubin at AIP

This presentation deepens a discussion of the riveting and central issues of technique that Dr. Richards explores in his paper on self-disclosure and self-revelation. When is a self-disclosure or self-revelation an appropriate intervention? What are the historical leanings toward abstinence or toward self-disclosure? How did Freud practice—where did he stand in his formal writing, and where did he venture in his own practice? Attendees are asked to think about examples from their own practice when they have been faced with technical questions about disclosure, and to be prepared if they wish to discuss such an example. All participants are asked to read Dr. Richards’ paper prior to the presentation; it will be emailed to them once an RSVP is received. Space is limited so please RSVP only if you are able to physically attend, and 2 CEU’s are available upon completion of the event.
