Continuing Education Seminars and Lectures

My activities include giving workshops, continuing education seminars, and lectures for staff members in the areas of treatment.
These include teams of psychologists, at mental health stations, social worker teams, and in Matya (special education regional support centers).
The continuing education seminars and training are given in my areas of specialization,
for instance, in the following subjects:

Therapeutic Work with Parents

Workshops or continuing education seminars that include:
Lectures on parenting styles, parenthood as a psychological phase, parent training, working with parents in conjunction with the treatment- case studies.
Distinctions between intervention types, when to choose accompaniment, training (guidance), dyadic or family therapy, or parenthood therapy.
Creating a therapeutic contract and improving therapeutic empathy and intervention.
I have written, and currently write and publish papers on this area, in Israel and the world, mainly centered on the psychodynamic model for parenthood therapy, a model offered to parents when the dominant experience is of difficult feelings with, and towards the parenthood or towards their child
