Therapists, Trainers, Clinical Directors, Interns and Students are Invited to Join EHI on Nov 15th in San Francisco to meet and discuss the role of the therapist at the "The Future of Psychotherapy" Colloqium.


How do we train developing therapists and how do we continue to deepen our practice throughout the years?


This colloquium and one-day workshop will encourage participants to share their ideas about the vital skills and attitudes that a therapist in training needs to learn and develop, and with regard to the practicing therapist, which skills and attitudes will not only enrich and deepen clinical work but also perhaps impact society in general.
