An exploration of the experiences, concerns and questions arising in the later stages of one’s career as a psychotherapist.

 

As therapists move into the later stages of their careers, questions  of the capacity for doing the work, concerns about retirement, possibly diminishing numbers of referrals and other issues are evoked by this often extended passage. Little has been written and few opportunities exist for discussion of these matters, and this impacts not only the therapist but in all likelihood their clients as well. In a culture that overvalues youth and identifies youth with competence, taboos against discussing old age and mortality need to be acknowledged and challenged.  Whether the basis of the taboo is fear or shame or something else, the price of silence and avoidance may be isolation and despair.

 

These four senior therapists will share their experiences and reflections with the group, and there will be space and time for participants to share their experiences and concerns in the context of small group discussion.
