New York State Society for Clinical Social Work Queens Chapter with The Advanced Clinical Education Foundation of the NYSSCSW Presents:

LEONARD COHEN: EMBATTLED SPIRIT

Program Description

The lyrics, poetry, sensuality, and psychohistory of Leonard Cohen (1934-2016) are seen through the lens of creativity/creative process and neurobiology. Cohen’s relentlessly deep yearning to live a livable and meaningful life are explored. This discussion also includes recognition of Cohen’s rootedness in biblical text and tradition, the will to flourish despite many challenges of living with a compulsive peripatetic life style, addiction to substances, and characterological challenges.
