About the Workshop:

Socioeconomic status (SES) is more complex than simply income or occupation; it can have a significant impact on interactions between psychologists and their patients.  In this one-hour workshop, the relationship between socioeconomic status and psychology will be explored through real-life examples, research findings, and self-reflection. Strategies will be presented to help attendees challenge their own assumptions about SES and more effectively address socioeconomic issues within their practice.

Learning Objectives:

 At the end of this workshop, attendees will be able to:
1) Define socioeconomic status (SES), including the primary factors used to classify SES and the difference between objective and subjective social status
2) Discuss the relationship between SES and mental health
3) Identify potential impacts of SES on psychotherapy process and outcome
4) Apply three strategies to increase awareness of SES within their therapy practice and therapeutic alliances

Audience:

This presentation is intended for psychologists, other licensed mental health providers, and graduate students of psychology.
