In five decades of relational practice, Roberta has presented workshops for clinical institutes, professional organizations, and graduate programs on the themes raised in When the Therapist Is Ill.
Roberta brings the same warmth and depth to her teaching that she brings to the consulting room. The workshops are conceptually sound, grounded in clinical experience, and built on more than 150 interviews she conducted with therapists, clients, and colleagues. They are experientially designed and shaped to the needs of the host community, whether that community is a professional organization, training institute, a peer consultation group, or a graduate seminar.
Her topics speak directly to clinicians: vulnerability and self-disclosure, self-care, ethical dilemmas, relational privacy, the inner life of the therapist when their own life is altered, and how the therapist's illness has the potential to be fruitful for the client's personal and relational growth.
A 45–60 minute talk for conferences and institute events. Tailored to the subject of the event.
