Title

A Psychoanalytically-Informed Approach to Establishing a Clinical Practice

Presenter Matthew Glasser, LMHC

Description

Mr. Glasser will present concepts and principles associated with what new practitioners can expect when entering practice. He will draw on personal and professional experience, legal requirements, ethical principles, and literature to provide a foundation to prepare participants for the challenges they will face at the beginning of their careers in psychotherapy. Psychoanalytic principles will be integrated into the conceptualization of this process in order to improve both the practitioner and patient experience.

Learning Objectives

Participants will be able to identify and describe three fundamental practice settings for psychotherapy, as well as their relative advantages and disadvantages.
Participants will be able to identify at least two legal pitfalls that can adversely affect new practitioners.
Participants will be able to describe two ways that psychoanalytic principles may guide them in selecting a practice setting and/or how to provide an environment to patients that is optimally suited to ensuring successful treatment outcomes.
