It is always interesting to consider the ethical responsibilities of therapists for the larger world around us. Yes, folks need to deal with their personal problems. But there are other issues that put some personal issues into some sort of perspective.
With that, As seen on this blog
As you probably know from bitter experience, therapists get endless brochures advertising workshops, seminars, continuing education events, conferences on psychology and psychotherapy.
Almost all of them focus exclusively on the human-human relationship and nature is never mentioned.
Take the latest brochure I’ve received. It’s touting the upcoming Psychotherapy Networker conference on “The Creative Leap.” [...] The conference will offer everything from “Creativity Day” to the latest on ADHD, couples counseling etc. etc. plus words of wisdom from various gurus but only one workshop that acknowledges maybe our world and planet are in a BIG mess.
And nothing on the importance of healing the human-nature relationship before we extinguish ourselves and take that big creative leap into dodo-land!
Al Gore gets it. Even George W. Bush gets it (he admits we’re addicted to oil). But what about the experts in the dysfunction of the human psyche?
THEY STILL DON’T GET IT!! Talk about fiddling while Rome burns…
