Disability Issues in Therapy
Nearly all of us will eventually become disabled, and people with disabilities form the largest minority group. Yet therapists receive little training about these issues. This workshop is designed to help you understand and support your clients with disabilities. We will talk about sexuality, partner issues, hidden disabilities, psychological aspects, therapy goals, counter-transference, how best to accommodate clients, and multiple minority status issues (race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender etc.). We will also discuss case vignettes. NEW: the expanded version of this seminar includes films.
