Master Series in Clinical Practice

Jointly sponsored by The Continuing Education Program at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, a Major Teaching Hospital of Harvard Medical School; Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute; and William James College.

The Master Series affords the chance to spend a complete day with leaders in our field to consider the unique perspective each speaker brings to the challenging dilemmas in both theory and practice. We hope that you will consider joining us for the entire series at a reduced tuition or choose the programs most relevant to your own practice.

Claire Fialkov, PhD and David Haddad, EdD, instructors

Positive Psychology is the scientific study of what makes life most worth living by emphasizing the positive emotions, thought patterns and relationships that contribute to human flourishing. This workshop will help you identify and cultivate those qualities that strengthen our capacity for well-being. We will introduce participants to the VIA-IS classification of character strengths and explore ways to use this new language of strengths in practice with individuals, groups and communities. Join with other mental health, teaching and organizational development professionals in this highly collaborative experience designed to enhance self-compassion and enrich the work we do and the lives we envision.

Upon completion of the program, the student will be able to:

• Identify and describe the foundations of Positive Psychology.

• Self-assess your strengths using the VIA-IS classification of character strengths.

• Analyze and apply the relationships between cultivating strengths and well-being.
