Nervous System Regulation as Ethical Function of Psychoanalytic Social Work

However, content from these disciplines can be incredibly dense and difficult to comprehend.

She will connect regulation of the nervous system to our psychoanalytic roots and NASW Code of Ethics, illustrate what nervous system regulation is and provide participants with easy to use tools that can be integrated into ethical psychoanalytic social work practice.
