2 CE Hours available forNY Practitioners – LCSWs, LMSWs, LPs, LMFTs, LMHCs, LCATs, PHDs, PSYDs

Why does the world feel one way when we are imaginatively alive to it and quite another when we are not? How does one both imagine and see things as they are? What happens when we cannot do so?

In this talk, I will describe the process of writing this book and what I believe are some implications of Winnicott’s suggestion that the psyche is an “imaginative elaboration of…aliveness.
