In this workshop we will explore ways to use a relational psychoanalytic stance to understand and intervene in the treatment of traumas specific to our socio-political milieu, emphasizing an intersectional understanding of ourselves as members of greater society. 

This presentation will incorporate specific exercises and discussion focused on identity with the goal of encouraging participants to be aware of privileges, biases, and bases for affiliation that may favor exclusion of others rather than inclusiveness.

This lecture is being given by Boris Thomas, JD, Phd, LCSW-R.
