This course will provide a definition and brief history of antisemitism for clinicians. Examples of incidents of antisemitism presenting in psychotherapeutic treatment settings will be illustrated in addition to providing tools to bridge gaps in the therapeutic alliance when antisemitism presents. Participants will be given opportunity to reflect and explore assumptions and biases associated with antisemitism through a series of reflective written exercises. Participants will then be given tools in the form of scripts to name Jewish suffering resulting from antisemitism in order to acknowledge this suffering from an informed location (as opposed to uninformed universal statements of human suffering which leave clients feeling unheard, unseen, alone, or discriminated against).
Co-sponsored by Frady Kess, LCSW
