Description
In the wake of the recent pandemic, therapists struggle to help patients with painful losses and challenges. Situational stresses interact with personality patterns, presenting therapists with complicated combinations of grief, mourning, depression, and anxiety at a frequency that seems unprecedented. Dr. McWilliams will comment on the psychological problems facing us collectively in the current era, with an emphasis on the experiences of younger people.
Learning Objectives
After this presentation, participants will be able:
To articulate three differences between normal grief and clinical depression;
To identify three losses that may require a mourning process at the societal level.
