$150Power Dynamics in the Facilitating Environment
Melissa Dellens, MA
6 CEs
Recorded Webinar
Community psychology emerged in reaction to clinical psychotherapy; with a fervent belief that if mental health problems are related to the misuse of power at systemic and institutional levels then individual psychotherapy is not the answer.

We will explore this assertion from a perspective of psychodynamically-informed psychotherapy.

These stereotypes and assumptions create enormous barriers for trans people, who are eight times more likely to be diagnosed with eating disorders than cisgender people.
