Join Our Friends at EHNW for a Salon 3/18

Case Conceptualization, Consultation, and Discussion from an Existential-Humanistic Perspective

Facilitated by EHI Board Members Bob Edelstein, LMFT & Dave Fischer, PsyD

Saturday March 18th, 10:00 PM – 12:00 PM, Pacific Standard Time

Virtual: EHNW will provide Zoom webinar details after registration

Fee: $20 Professionals | $15 Students | Free for EHNW Affiliates

EHNW invite you to join them in an open conversation. At this salon some therapy cases will be reviewed, including client’s presenting issues and potential therapeutic responses, from within an Existential-Humanistic framework. The discussion will be facilitated by EHNW board members, including Bob Edelstein and Dave Fischer. Please feel free to bring a current case for which you would like some consultation, or listen to others, ask questions, and contribute your comments. Due to time considerations, not every case will likely be discussed.

EHNW hopes in hosting these salons to create a space for practitioners and members of the EH community to gather, socialize, and explore meaningful topics. The conversation will be salon-style where participants share what is present for them as the conversation emerges.

The Society of Humanistic Psychology 17th Annual Conference

How can humanistic psychology actualize itself today to meet the needs of a fast-paced, distracted, survival-focused, experientially-avoidant, interpersonally-isolated, rating- and metric-centered, systems-blind, toxically-masculine, xenophobic, inequitized, traumatized, polarized, technocratic, post-truth, post-pandemic society-in-transition? Paradoxically, to accomplish that undertaking, “Old Saybrook 3” also celebrates the wisdom of our elders and reminds us not to turn a blind eye to their rich and enriching intellectual and experiential contributions. How might we demonstrate that humanistic psychology is, far from being a mere historical relic, well-equipped in its core values and theory/philosophy, pluralistic methods, and robust, decades-long canon of research/scholarship to resonate with the 2020s zeitgeist? And, with that, what can we do to promote an I-Thou way of being in an increasingly I-It world?
