Join our conversation with Alex Samets, LCSW!

 

This presentation will explore the tension between a social justice model of social work intervention in racism and an analytic approach to exploring racism. Alex Samets will present clinical material and research questioning whether the model of psychotherapy practice grounded in social work values is designed to manage the anxiety of the therapist rather than generate actual transformation in the patient or even social justice. Discussion will explore the tension between a social justice approach to psychotherapy, social work practice and the transformative potential of rigorous exploration of one’s mind.

 

A Zoom link will be sent to all registrants the Friday or Saturday before the presentation.

Two CEs approved by the MN Board of Social Work are available for this presentation.
