Overview:
This is Social Work Month and we will celebrate by having Clara Kwun LCSW present “Clinical Sensibilities as Seen Through the Eyes of a Social Work Analyst.” This presentation is designed for clinicians of all levels. It will focus on the importance of explicitly knowing one’s clinical sensibility. The difference between a theory, a code of ethics and what the speaker calls a “clinical sensibility” will be explored. There will be an examination of the multiple external and internal pressures that social workers feel in their work and discussion of the ways that a theory and a clinical sensibility can help protect a space to think and be creative. The work of Roy Schafer, Nancy McWilliams and Tom Ogden will provide some of the theoretical base. Clinical Examples will be used to illustrate these ideas.
