REGISTER NOW FOR OUR UPCOMING ACE LEARNING CENTER PROGRAM “CLINICAL PRACTICE WITH LGBTQ+ PATIENTS”. LEARN MORE!
55th Annual Education Conference
In this presentation, we will look at the myriad of meanings that work holds for each of us. We all know how central work is for our sense of self-worth, purpose, meaning and our need for mastery, indeed, for our very identity. Certainly, meaningful work performs various functions for each of us. These functions may change at different stages and phases of our lives. I will present some personal and case material, and I will encourage each of you to think about the meaning of work for you, and for some of your clients.
