REGISTER NOW FOR OUR UPCOMING ACE LEARNING CENTER PROGRAM “CLINICAL PRACTICE WITH LGBTQ+ PATIENTS”. LEARN MORE!
55th Annual Education Conference
How did early professional experiences in hospitals affect my development as a clinician? What are the most fundamental values that can inspire long term involvement in a clinical career? How can supervisory input help hone the therapist’s “signature” style? In this presentation, I explore these issues, reflecting on the sense of purpose, integrity, courage, and curiosity that can support a lifetime of clinical work. I consider the impact of the many losses we incur, including, eventually, the loss of every patient we treat. Finally, I express some of my feelings about retiring from practice, and the particular challenges retirement raises.
