Objectives:  Participants will:
1.  Develop an awareness of the progressive and destructive elements that are brought by accelerated societal changes that surround us,
2.  Begin cultivating a psychoanalytic angle on this rapidly changing society, by utilizing pertinent aspects of psychoanalytic theory (extrapolate from the office outwards), and
3.  Consider utilizing some of the information gained from our analysis of the society, in our clinical work with individuals, couples and families (extrapolate from the society to the office inwards).

Program Description:
During the latter half of the 20th century, we entered a phase of rapid technological/economic/cultural change that is unprecedented in human history. For the first time, we are truly heading towards a global village with boundariless transfer of information, culture and commodities. 

On the macro level, within this accelerating change, our species made significant gains; poverty decreased, life expectancy increased, illiteracy declined. Yet, we also witnessed demise of nation states, genocides, endemic civil wars that lead to mass migrations to developed countries creating substantial problems of adaptation and maladaptation, that does lead to political violence.

On the micro level, as our capacity to live longer more comfortable, pleasant lives is increasing, the traditional nuclear family seems to be crumbling, generational transmission of values is becoming chaotic due to rapid shifts in cultural values, even the core definitions like gender seem to be witnessing massive shifts.

The therapist/analyst in the midst of this what feels like a churning world is in need of exploring newer ways of thinking about the person, family and the society. I will attempt to open up a discussion about this new colorful, chaotic world of ours.
