Holding What Hurts: The Therapist’s Role in Supporting Clients Through Chronic Illness
Presenter: Corina Morgan, Psy.D.
Wednesday, January 21st 9am-11am (CST) Webinar
This didactic examines the emotional, relational, and identity-based impacts of chronic illness through a relational psychodynamic lens. Chronic illness often evokes shame, fears of burdening others, and disruptions
in attachment patterns, experiences that profoundly shape how clients show up in therapy. This training will support clinicians in recognizing how illness functions within the therapeutic relationship, including its subtle yet powerful influence on transference and countertransference dynamics. We will also explore the impact of medical trauma, identity disruption, and challenges with dependency as they emerge in clinical work. Participants will learn how to create a therapeutic environment that honors the client’s lived experience, supports vulnerability without shame, and strengthens the client’s capacity to navigate illness within a relationally supportive framework.

Navigating Ethical Dilemmas in Clinical Practice under Authoritarian Regimes
Presenter: Carter J. Carter Ph.D, LICSW
Wednesday, March 18th 9am-11am (CST) Webinar
This presentation will orient clinicians to typical dilemmas that arise in the course of clinical practice in the context of authoritarian regimes. Drawing on empirical case studies of clinical practice under authoritarian regimes—from the United States to Palestine to Argentina—we will explore which aspects of authoritarianism predictably produce distinctive ethical dilemmas for mental health clinicians. We will review strategies for ethical decision-making for clinicians who are forced to practice under conditions of authoritarianism.

Managing Clinical Risk from a Distance: Ethical, Legal, and Risk Management Considerations in Clinical Supervision
Presenter: Susan Zoline, Ph.D.
Wednesday, April 22nd 9am-11am (CST) Webinar
This program will address ethical, legal, and risk management considerations in clinical supervision, particularly with respect to overseeing trainee cases involving risk. Monitoring risk from afar requires careful attention to
both client safety and the supervisory relationship, avoiding the pitfalls of micro- managing, while trusting that the trainee is addressing risk effectively. Best practice strategies, both preventive and in-process, will be addressed. Case vignettes will be integrated into the program to illustrate the nuance surrounding this complex issue.

therapeutic questioning will be briefly introduced as ways of engaging symbolic material.
