Presenter: Norman Straker, M.D.
Discussant: Sheldon Solomon, Ph.D.
How do we manage catastrophes and death anxiety in ourselves and our patients in unprecedented times? Psychotherapists today have been confronted with two unprecedented events that have completely changed the traditional framework of therapeutic sessions. 9/11 and Covid have forced psychotherapists to navigate their patients’ overwhelming fear of dying. Dr. Norman Straker will speak about the effectiveness of the methods of intervention he learned when working with cancer patients. This more flexible approach equips the therapist to effectively intervene in this challenging topic.
2 Contact Hours. 2 CME/CE credits will be offered. See details below.
