NEW CASE/NEW BOOK SERVICE
February 13, 1997
Clinical Case Conference
Our third case, "The Case of Caroline" has begun. Jessica Broitman describes "Caroline" as:
".....a young woman who entered psychotherapy with my friend and colleague Dr. Jamie Edmund many years ago, with severe problems relating to alcoholism and cocaine addiction, depression, sexual promiscuity and a long history of poor choices in love relationships. We will first hear from Dr. Edmund about the initial phone call, and the early hours of this intensive treatment. In the next segment Dr. Edmund will tell us about Caroline's pertinent family background. Three major phases of the therapy will be offered as well. In order to facilitate our discussion Dr. Edmund has included her working hypotheses of the therapy."
Professional psychotherapists and those in graduate training for that role may join in discussion of the new case as well as the cases of "Otto Freund" and "Harold Payne" in the Clinical Case Conference.

Continuing Education Progress
In collaboration with Mental Health Net, our sister site, we have been hard at work on our continuing education program and will soon launch our first course. I promise it will be a major step forward in CE in our field and we are seeking a few volunteer s to test the course before release. If you are interested in participating in the test, please write me. The course is concerned with the cognitive therapy of personality disorders.
