The Ethics of Intervention in Religious Belief in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis

The cultural and religious beliefs of patients often influence analytic techniques. When strong beliefs impede patients’ wellness or the wellness of their relationships, therapists may encourage clients to reflect on their beliefs under a similar moral rubric by which they might reassess their patterns of thought and behavior. But the grounds of those beliefs and the will of a client to reframe them differentiate modifications in belief from those of thought or behavior. This workshop will examine the presence and limits of the ethics of belief as it applies to intervention in psychotherapy and psychoanalysis.

CE information will be sent to all attendees the week after the event.
