Psychotherapy In the Era of Global Crisis

Evolving to Meet the Needs of a Rapidly Changing World

Our world is facing unprecedented societal, natural, and global crises, all of which have resulted in a global mental health crisis. The pressures have created new challenges for the field of mental health, which is experiencing its own crises as a profession with record levels of clinician burnout, workforce insufficiency, and attrition. In this training, Dr. Gehart will share how the field can address many of these issues by adopting a unifying framework to streamline, simplify, and improve outcomes.

Course Goal: By the end of this program, participants will be able to better understand the challenges our profession faces in an era of unprecedented crisis and learn options for meeting this challenge.

Learning Objectives:

At the end of this presentation, participants will be able to:

1. Identify at least 2 ways global crises are affecting the needs of clients

2. Describe at least 2 ways the profession is in crisis due to larger societal changes

Dr. Diane Gehart

I've spent most of my career trying to figure out how to do therapy well, going to countless workshops to learn numerous theoretical models.

In addition to working with nearly 250,000 clients as a therapist or supervisor, I put my many years of professional training into over 12 books and am the only person to write leading textbooks in both counseling and family therapy theories.

However, after nearly 30 years as an active member of the established academic community, I have come to the conclusion that the field of mental health needs to find a better way to train its professionals--both those entering the field and those in it for decades. 

Rather than spend the rest of my career fighting a deeply entrenched educational system, I have decided to simply offer a saner approach to becoming a highly effective mental health professional for those who are interested. 

You are welcome to join me if you too believe there has to be an easier way to do this work well.

Finally, I am committed to ensuring that all interested professionals have access to cutting edge training and knolwedge, and so I regularly offer FREE CEs through my mailing list and website.
