Fall Seminar

The annual Jerusalem Hills Therapeutic Centers Fall Seminar “Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy for Children and Young Adolescents” is held every November at the Children’s Home campus with tens of psychologists, social workers and therapists attending.

This long-standing tradition was started in 1997 and runs over a two-day seminar, under the guidance of senior psychoanalysts and psychotherapists, allowing social workers and psychologists from all over the country to be part of an intensive and unique learning experience, exposing them to a wide range of therapeutic approaches.

In each workshop, one participant presents a clinical case that he or she feels challenged by. This case is then discussed and analyzed, and innovative and creative insights are offered.

This setting facilitates a special atmosphere of openness and sharing, enabling participants and moderators to reach a level of depth and creativity seldom reached in group supervision. For many, this seminar is considered the annual highlight of their professional training.
