Westchester Chapter Meeting & Educational Presentation TOPIC: "The Business of Your Practice" SPEAKER: Deborah Novick, BS, CFA DATE: 12/1/12 PLACE: The Mental Health Association, 29 Sterling Avenue, White Plains, NY TIME: 9:00 Practice Meetings 10:00 Networking and Refreshments 10:15 Chapter Business Meeting 10:45--Noon Presentation ******************************************* DESCRIPTION Are you in practice OR in business? Many highly trained lawyers, doctors, and mental health professionals are in practice for themselves, providing excellent advice and care to their patients and clients. But frequently, these highly educated professionals forget that they are business owners as well. "The Business of Your Practice" will focus on important business concepts such as: how to set and raise fees, how to identify your best clients and attract more of them, how to widen your sources of referral, and why all of these are essential to the management and success of your business. SPEAKER Deborah Novick, a Chartered Financial Analyst, received her B.S. in Economics from Cornell University. She has more than 25 years of experience working with owners of businesses of all sizes in the areas of entering new markets, introducing new products, raising capital, gaining customers, and setting appropriate goals for the business. ******************************************** For more information, please contact: Michael Altshuler, LCSW, CGP Chair, Education Committee (914) 478-7952
Please join us for our monthly Chapter meeting and Educational presentation. Members and non-members are all welcome. TOPIC: "Transference: A Treasure in Disguise" SPEAKER: Judith Barr, LPC, LMHC DATE: 10/6/12 PLACE: The Mental Health Association, 29 Sterling Avenue, White Plains, NY TIME: 9:00 - Practice Meetings 10:00 - Networking and Refreshments 10:15 - Chapter Business Meeting 10:45- Noon Presentation ******************************************* DESCRIPTION Few psychotherapists are really taught about transference in depth, "up close and personal." Some clinicians come to think of transference as problematic and pass this attitude onto their clients. Even seasoned therapists who do value and utilize transference can benefit from learning more about this phenomenon from a new perspective. This presentation will help participants deepen their understanding and appreciation of transference as a source for caring and healing. We will define transference, identify the link between an early decision and transference, describe the connection between an individual's transference and the impact of transference on our world, and learn to view transference as a treasure in disguise. SPEAKER Judith Barr is the author of "Power Abused, Power Healed." In practice for over 30 years, Ms. Barr maintains a private practice in Brookfield, CT, where she works with individuals and groups, and offers training workshops to professionals.
