Wired Minds: Psychoanalysis in the Digital Age

The course kicked off with Alan Karbelnig, PhD, ABPP presenting a detailed recounting of an anonymized ethical violation by a provider and how the situation was handled by both the provider and the Board of Psychology. Next, expert attorney Scott Harris walked the audience through the basics of ethical laws and guidelines while highlighting updates and changes to the regulations in recent years. Next, a Rose City clinician presented a case to a panel of licensed professionals featuring Enrico Gnaulati,

Rose City clinician Ary Ziv, PhD launched the seminar with his discussion of the challenges human-digital technological interactions present, followed by presentations from Enrico Gnaulati, PhD and Nina Gutin, Ph.D. Then, Rose City clinician Dan Gutterman gave a case presentation to a panel featuring the three presenters as well as Sam Alibrando, PhD and Alan Karbelnig, PhD, ABPP. The day ended with a group discussion.

The in-person portion of this event was hosted at NOOR Pasadena and fulfilled four (4) Continuing Education credits for licensed psychologists, marriage and family therapists (MFT), and licensed clinical social workers (LCSW) in the state of California.
