This month:
A
Psychologist Looks at Religion
with
Dr. Ralph Mitchell
Dr. Mitchell will present a discussion of religion
illuminated by his experiences in clinical
treatment, professional experience as a social
worker, and religious and secular philosophical
background. Problems in treatment and human behavior
frequently require a suspension of normal or logical
belief. This leads to conceptual problems, but not
to treatment problems nor, necessarily, to
disruptive or maladaptive lifestyles. Basic social
work training requires that students (and
professionals) start "where the client is" in order
to maximize functioning and adaptation. We will
discuss the implications of these conditions, and
talk of the responsibilities of those who work in
the field under licensure by the state of
California.
Dr. Ralph Mitchell has a Ph.D. from Cambridge School
of Psychology and is a licensed Clinical Social
Worker. He has worked extensively in the mental
health field, and was Consultant to Mental Health
Managed Care Services for the County of Los Angeles
until his retirement two years ago.
