Why is it important?
Psychotherapists may overlook the impact of the external world. But it's always there. How does therapy stay true to its deep psychological roots while keeping the need for social awareness present?
Perspectives
It's a new world for therapists, too. Is Zoom easier? What do you miss not being in the room? There are so many new realities--cyberspace, epidemics, globalization, unprecedented political divisions, awareness of racism, gender and queer issues, . How does therapy change?
